==Gameplay==

Players can customize each fighter by giving them equipment to increase specific attributes (attack, defense, or speed) while sacrificing others. Up to three pieces of equipment can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each, provided that the variations are unlocked first. The Mii Fighters and Palutena, however, have custom special attacks that are completely original moves rather than variants of existing moves; these are unlocked from the beginning. Players can have up to ten custom characters saved at a time, though the player can have as many Mii Fighters as they want. Custom characters cannot be used in With Anyone online.

===Exclusive modes===

====Smash Run====

[[File:SSB3DS Smash Run.jpg|thumb|[[Link]] participating in a round of Smash Run.]]

A new mode, Smash Run is a Nintendo 3DS-exclusive single-player and multiplayer mode strongly resembling the [[wikirby:City Trial|City Trial]] mode from ''[[wikirby:Kirby Air Ride|Kirby Air Ride]]'' while including elements of the Subspace Emissary mode from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In this mode, players travel in a large maze-like map, fighting enemies from both Nintendo games and ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, such as [[Magikoopa]]s, [[List of Smash Run enemies#Chandelure|Chandelure]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Kremling]]s. Before going into battle, players can equip powers, which have a variety of effects, such as being a more powerful attack, temporarily increasing stats, healing, or equipping the player with an item. The player can equip only a certain number of powers based on their weight, the maximum weight being determined by the player's current equipment and the fighter.

Of the playable character roster, if excluding Mii Fighters and Roy, eleven originate from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and its spin-off series (eighteen if counting each of the Koopalings), with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], Rosalina & Luma, [[Dr. Mario]], Bowser Jr., [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]] being playable.

'''NOTE''': Characters in ''italics'' are newcomers.

|-

|As iconic as iconic gets, this gaming celebrity is known for saving the world from Bowser. He's got amazing jumping skills and makes use of a wide range of transformations. In his free time, he plays too many sports to count. In Smash Bros., he's a well-rounded fighter you can rely on. Say it with me: “It’s-a me, Mario!”

|Luigi recently celebrated his 30th anniversary with the [[Year of Luigi]], but all that attention just made him even more shy and awkward. In Smash Bros., Luigi takes a lot of cues from his brother in fighting style, adding flair to moves like Super Jump Punch. His taunts, however, are truly unique.

|Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach continues to prove that "powerful" and "cute" are not mutually exclusive. In Smash Bros., Peach uses her dress to float above the fray, suddenly descending and attacking with numerous weapons. A frying pan? Umbrella? TOAD?! Where does she keep it all?

|[[Peach Blossom]]

|-

|The archenemy of Mario and the reason Peach spends more time kidnapped than in her own castle. His plans aren't always the best, and occasionally he even finds himself on Mario's side. In Smash Bros., he's a serious heavyweight who laughs off weaker attacks. Hit him hard to send him flying!

|As dependable a partner as one could hope for, Yoshi often aids Mario in his adventures. Yoshi can swallow just about anything and make an egg of it instantly. He's got some serious airborne power, making launching opponents skyward and then following up with more attacks a wise choice.

|The mysterious Rosalina lives in the Comet Observatory with the Lumas. She first traveled with them in search of their mother.

|This king of the jungle really, really loves bananas. His adventures usually start with people stealing his hoard of them. In Smash Bros., he's known for his incredible strength and long reach. Despite his size, he's still pretty quick. He can even jump carrying heavy items! Use this knowledge well.

|Standard - [[Giant Punch]]<br>Side - [[Headbutt]]<br>Up - [[Spinning Kong]]<br>Down - [[Hand Slap]]

|[[Konga Beat]]

|-

|Donkey Kong's trusty partner. He sports his signature look: red hat, red shirt, Rocketbarrel Pack. In Smash Bros., he's incredibly agile. Charge the Rocketbarrel Pack by holding down the button before launch, and you can steer with left and right. Don't forget to drop banana peels--enemies love it!

|Green clothes? Pointy hat? Yep, it's Link, all right! In this game, his sword and shield make for effective attacking and blocking, and his bow, bombs and boomerang will spice up any battle. He's even brought his Clawshot for grabbing enemies and edges. Jeez, just how much stuff can Link carry?

|This is the namesake of the Legend of Zelda games. Her appearance may change, but she always plays an important role. In Smash Bros., she's quick on the draw when it comes to magic, though a bit slow when moving. She has a new move that summons a Phantom to her aid.

|In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sheik claimed to be a surviving Sheikah. However, this was just a cunning disguise for Princess Zelda so that she could escape Ganondorf. In Smash Bros., she's the complete opposite of Zelda, striking with fast attacks that can keep an opponent off balance.

|This cartoonish version of Link is how he appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and a few other titles. In Smash Bros., he uses moves much like his older, taller counterpart. His small size gives him extra speed, though, so take advantage of that to send your foes flying.

|Samus Aran has fought her way across a variety of planets in the ''Metroid'' series. She wears a Power Suit designed by the Chozo, giving her incredible versatility in a fight. She can wade in, but she favors beams and missiles. A fully charged Charge Shot packs a serious punch!

|Samus is far from helpless when her Power Suit is deactivated. Sure, she loses a lot of the moves and weapons she had access to before, but her Jet Boots pick up the slack! She also has the Paralyzer, a versatile weapon that can shock her rivals or change into a Plasma Whip to grab edges and enemies.

|Pit is the captain of Palutena's royal guard. Despite the wings on his back, Pit needs the Power of Flight from Palutena in order to truly fly.

|One of the main characters of the Fire Emblem series. Having fought in the Mad King's War, restored the fallen nation of Crimea and taken on the Begnion Empire, Ike is rightly called a hero. He has the strength to back the title-one good swing of his blade can launch the heaviest of foes.

|This is the male Robin, an avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. The goal of that game doesn't change much because of your gender choice, but Robin's hairstyle options do. In Smash Bros., Robin brings powerful magic and swordplay to bear. He can exhaust his moves, but they'll be restored over time.

|He calls himself the King of Dream Land, but he doesn't have a lot of interest in ruling. He really loves to eat, so it's no surprise he's a heavyweight fighter. Despite his size and low speed, he can easily recover with his four jumps. His Jet Hammer will leave a mark on everyone he meets.

|This little boxer from the Punch-Out!! series makes up in heart what he lacks in height. He wasn't afraid to take on the boxing champs, and he's not afraid of the Nintendo stars. In Smash Bros., he packs a serious punch. When his KO Meter fills up, wade in and trigger a devastating uppercut.

!colspan="3"|Normal Stages

|-

|Battlefield is one of the game’s more straightforward stages, whose appearance has remained constant since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The stage consists of the base platform and three floating platforms the players can jump and fall through. The stage also cycles between day and night, though it does not affect the gameplay.

|

*Menu (Melee) (from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'')

|-

|Final Destination consists of only a single long platform, the most basic of stages. It is where the final fight between the player and [[Master Hand]], [[Crazy Hand]], and [[Master Core]] takes place.

|

*Menu (Melee): Ver. 2 (from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'')

|-

|This stage is based on several levels from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The stage auto-scrolls between areas, each with their own obstacles. Areas consist of blocks, floating platforms, [[Skewer]]s, rotating platforms, and moving platforms.

|

*Super Mario Bros. 3 Medley (from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'')

|-

|This semi auto-scrolling stage is based on [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', featuring three variously design structures that occasionally alter between each other. Coins can be found in the stage, and collecting 100 of them will give fighters an increase in attack power and launch resistance.

|

*Ground Theme / Underground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) (from ''Super Mario Bros.'')

|-

|Based on the 3DS Rainbow Road from ''Mario Kart 7''. As the main platform travels through the course, it will occasionally stop for fighters to fight on the track. Shy Guys will occasionally drive through the match and will damage the players should they hit them.

|

*Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 7) (from ''Mario Kart 7'')

|-

|True to its origin of the ''Paper Mario'' series, the stage is designed like a paper diorama and folds out like a book when changing in between three layouts based on locations from the series' installments, each with their own obstacles.

|

*Try, Try Again (from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'')

|-

|This stage, returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', is based on World 1-1 from ''Super Mario Bros.'' The stage will auto-scroll throughout the course, and ? Blocks can holster items for players to use.

|

*Underground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) (from ''Super Mario Bros.'')

|-

|This stage, returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', contains a long platform in the center with two smaller ones to the sides. A semi-solid platform is also located above the main platform. Water runs underneath the stage and can sweep the player off screen if they get caught in it.

|

*Gear Getaway (from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'')

|-

|This stage is based on the bridge at the entrance to [[zeldawiki:Gerudo Valley|Gerudo Valley]] seen in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' and its 3DS remake. The bridge can be destroyed, in which case the characters [[zeldawiki:Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]] will appear and cast spells on the stage.

|

*Ocarina of Time Medley (from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'')

|-

|This stage has players fight on the [[zeldawiki:Spirit Train|Spirit Train]] from ''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''. The train is constantly in motion and any players who step off the train will be swept to the right. The train can also change its back car and can be attacked by [[zeldawiki:Dark Train|Dark Trains]] in the middle of battle.

|

*Main Theme / Underworld Theme (from ''The Legend of Zelda'')

|-

|This stage, based on [[metroidwiki:Brinstar|Brinstar]] from ''Metroid'', returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It has a few semi-solid platforms and the main stage can be split. Acid will also rise, damaging the players if it makes contact.

|

*Brinstar Depths (from ''Metroid'')

|-

|This stage is based on elements from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and is a returning stage from ''Brawl''. The long semi-solid platform above the main stage tilts on its center axis over time and two other platforms can rise from the sides.

|

*Ending (Yoshi's Story) (from ''Yoshi's Story'')

|-

|This stage is based on ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and has a [[Game Boy]] motif around it. It shifts between several locations from the game and the music changes accordingly.  

|

*Green Greens Ver. 2 (from ''Kirby's Dream Land'')

|-

|This stage, returning from ''Melee'', takes place on the [[lylatwiki:Great Fox|Great Fox]] from [[lylatwiki:Star Fox|''Star Fox'']]. [[Arwing]]s and [[Wolfen]] appear throughout, attacking the players with their laser cannons. Additionally, the large cannon on the bow of the ship can deliver a one-hit KO to players.

|

*Star Wolf's Theme / Sector Z (from ''Star Fox 64'')

|-

|This stage is inspired by the Pokémon League from ''Pokémon''{{'}}s fifth generation region, Unova. The stage layout is basic, and various legendary Pokémon will appear in front of N's Castle. When Reshiram or Zekrom appear, they can affect the battlefield, with the former by setting the stage ablaze, and the latter can tilt the stage.

|

*Battle! (Reshiram / Zekrom) (from ''Pokémon Black''/''White Versions'')

|-

|This stage takes place at the Prism Tower in Lumiose City from the Kalos region. The stage, which consists of one main platform and several semi-solid platforms, travels across the tower as the fighters battle it out, along with battling on the tower itself.

|

*Lumiose City (from ''Pokémon X''/''Y'')

|-

|This stage is based on [[fzerowiki:Mute City|Mute City]] from the original ''F-Zero''. Two platforms hover over the [[F-Zero machine]]s as the players battle and players can stand on the racers as they come and go. Touching the track will damage the players.

|

*Mute City '''(arrangement)''' (from ''F-Zero'')

|-

|This unusual battleground is based on two similarly named locations from ''Mother'' and ''EarthBound''. Fighters will brawl on a series of clouds, with various objects from EarthBound appearing, such as the Dungeon Man and the Sky Runner. The Flying Man may also appear to give a hand to fighters, but only five will appear each match.  

|

*Smiles and Tears (from ''EarthBound'')

|-

|Arena Ferox will first appear as a basic stage, but over the course of the battle, several platforms will rise up from the ground. Platforms consist of basic, semi-solid, and moving platforms.  

|

*Fire Emblem (from ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon'')

|-

|This returning stage places fighters inside of a Game & Watch device. The stage changes between four areas based on four Game & Watch games; Fire, Oil Panic, Lion, and Chef, each come with their own sets of obstacles.

|

*Flat Zone (from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'')

|-

|This stage is based on [[icaruspedia:Viridi, Goddess of Nature|Chapter 11]] of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. The first part of the stage consists of a few platforms, while the second contains breakable platforms over a large abyss.

|

*Dark Pit's Theme (from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'')

|-

|Returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this stage is based on the ''WarioWare'' series. The stage will occasionally have players participate in microgames, which if completed correctly, will give the successful players a reward (or, occasionally, nothing at all).

|

*Ashley's Song (from ''WarioWare: Touched!'')

|-

|This stage is based on elements from ''Pikmin'' and is a returning stage from ''Brawl''. A large Red Bulborb appears to the right side of the stage and will attempt to eat the players. Additionally, when raining, water will come from the left side of the stage and push the players off stage.

|

*Stage Select (from ''Pikmin 2'')

|-

|Based on Tortimer Island from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', this stage's orientation changes each time it's played on. The stage can consist of trees that act as platforms or a pier to the side. Players can swim in the water, but sharks can attempt to bring players down.

|

*Kapp'n's Song (from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'')

|-

|Based on a boxing ring, this is a fairly simple stage with no pits to fall into. Players can jump on the ropes to reach the spotlights at the top, which they can attack to send them crashing down. The ring can also change its theme when selecting it, based on either ''Punch-Out<nowiki>!!</nowiki>'' or ''Super Smash Bros.''

|

*Minor Circuit (from ''Punch-Out!!'' (Wii))

|-

|Based on the large area on the lower level of Bionis' Leg from ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', this stage is the largest in the game. It has various platforms modeled onto two cliffsides to fight on. However, they are in between a very large gap, requiring very precise jumping to cross. Like Battlefield, it features a shift between day and night, but the effect is cosmetic.

|

*You Will Know Our Names (from ''Xenoblade Chronicles'')

|-

|The stage's 8-bit appearance can change when selected, but it normally contains several platforms, one or two [[Flipper (Balloon Fight)|Flipper]]s, lightning clouds, and a water hazard with a large fish that will attempt to bring players under. The stage can also be walked off to the side and the player will appear on the opposite end unless they are knocked off in that direction.

|

*Balloon Trip (from ''Balloon Fight'')

|-

|Taking place in a large living room, players will first battle on a large floor. Once enough time has passed, blocks and other objects will fall onto the stage, damage players if they connect, but can be walked on when they have rested into place.

|

*Bath Time Theme (Vocal Mix) (from ''Nintendogs'')

|-

|A stage based on the game Find Mii II from the StreetPass Mii Plaza. The stage consists of one large platform to the left and a smaller platform to the right. The Dark Emperor can also take part in the stage, increasing certain player's stats.

|

*Save the World, Heroes! (from ''Find Mii II'')

|-

|Based on the game of the same name, this stage is a large house with several semi-solid platforms the players can fight on. Various [[Mii]]s from the user's system appear in the rooms.

|

*Mii Plaza (from Mii Channel)

|-

|Based on the PictoChat application built into earlier Nintendo DS models, various drawings will appear, having different impacts on the fight. This stage is similar to the PictoChat stage from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', but PictoChat 2 features different drawings.

|

*Dr. Mario (from ''Dr. Mario'')

|-

|A stage returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It has a "u-shape" design and the lower ground section can be broken. Checkpoints also appear occasionally, which can be attacked to make it spin and damage other players.

|

*Live & Learn (from ''SONIC ADVENTURE 2'')

|-

|A stage based on Wily Castle from ''Mega Man 2''. Several platforms move around the main one, which can disappear or fly off the stage without notice. Yellow Devil can also momentarily appear and intervene with the fight.  

|

*Mega Man 2 Retro Medley (from ''Mega Man 2'')

|-

|This stage is designed after the classic maze from the original ''Pac-Man'' arcade game, featuring the four ghosts and Pac-Dots. If one collects enough Pac-Dots, or any of the Bonus Fruit, a Power Pellet of their color will appear, granting immunity to the ghosts.
