'''''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''''' and '''''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''''' are the fourth and fifth installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] respectively<ref>[http://kotaku.com/an-in-depth-chat-with-the-genius-behind-super-smash-bro-530744390 An In-Depth Chat With The Genius Behind Super Smash Bros.]</ref>, and were developed by [[Sora Ltd.]] and [[Bandai Namco Games]].<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/06-21-2012/message Nintendo Direct 06-21-2012: Message from Masahiro Sakurai]</ref> While the two games were developed simulataneously, the Nintendo 3DS version launched earlier due to its earlier completion of development.
 
==Gameplay==
{{MoreImages}}
''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' have some similarities and differences from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as differences between the two versions. [[Final Smash|Final Smashes]] and [[Footstool Jump]]ing make a return, while the "tripping" mechanic has been removed<ref name="Developer Direct">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ#aid=P-_6kKFPkbY YouTube - Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013]</ref>. The pace of battles has also been stated to be in between ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
 
Both games have the same roster of playable characters in order to keep them consistent. The movesets and animations of some returning characters were changed more significantly than during the transition from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', with many returning characters having completely new moves, and major alterations (such as Pit). Aesthetically, the games are much more stylized and visually intense than previous entries, with the overall colors being bolder and brighter and many elements having been redone to stand out more.
 
Players can send customized fighters from one version to the other. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each. The Mii Fighters and Palutena, however, have custom special attacks that aren't variants of the original attacks; these are unlocked from the beginning. Players can also equip items to fighters to increase specific attributes (attack, defense, or speed) while sacrificing others. Up to three items can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry2.html]</ref> Custom characters cannot be used in With Anyone online. Additionally, by connecting the two games, the player can use their Nintendo 3DS as a controller for the Wii U version<ref>S. Good, Owen (September 13, 2014). [http://www.polygon.com/2014/9/13/6145039/super-smash-bros-on-will-u-will-allow-players-to-use-a-3ds-as-a Super Smash Bros. on Wii U will allow players to use a 3DS as a controller]. Polygon. Retrieved September 15, 2014.</ref>.
 
Both versions of the game feature online play similar to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' in that players from all over the world can face others in matches. When playing With Friends, players can customize the rules to their liking. Voice chat is also available in the Wii U version when playing With Friends, though like ''Mario Kart 8'' it can only be used between battles.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza - YouTube]</ref> When playing With Anyone, two basic options are available: For Fun and For Glory. In For Fun mode, players battle on randomly-selected normal stages, excluding Final Destination, with all items turned on. Losses are not recorded in this mode. In For Glory mode, players only play on the flat, Final Destination versions of stages, without items. Players can either play standard Smash or Team Smash matches in both modes, and For Glory offers a 1-on-1 mode as well.
 
Conquest is available in the Wii U version by default, became available in the Nintendo 3DS version through an update on September 15, 2014 in Japan, and October 2, 2014 in all other regions. Conquests pit some of the game's various characters against each other, and players who win battles with them in With Anyone mode will add points to that character's score. After a few days, the winning fighter is revealed, players who took part in the conquest by playing as that character get rewarded with gold, and the next conquest begins.  
 
Spectate mode allows players to view matches and bet gold on their outcome, view replays of past online matches, and view a map showing the players currently online.
 
Rather than an online leaderboard, the games make use of a different type of ranking system, called "Global Smash Power". A player's GSP score is recorded for each of the various single-player modes, the number indicating how many players around the world they outrank.
 
==Playable characters==
{{upcoming|downloadable character}}
These installments feature a total of 49 playable characters, counting the three types of [[Mii|Mii Fighter]] as one character. These consist of 34 veterans and 15 newcomers. Certain characters from previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games have been removed from the rosters of both versions in order to keep them consistent, partly due to limitations with the Nintendo 3DS version of the game. Unlike previous games in the series, with the removal of in-game transformations, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and Charizard are now standalone characters.
 
[[Mewtwo]] has been confirmed to return from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a downloadable, 50th character, releasing for free to Club Nintendo members who signed up for a promotion involving the purchase of both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions of the game.<ref name="Mewtwo free to Club Nintendo members who register both versions">[http://club2.nintendo.com/smash-promo/ Super Smash Bros Offer]</ref> It will release as a paid download later on for those who did not register both versions.<ref name="Mewtwo confirmed to launch as paid DLC later on">[https://twitter.com/nintendoeurope/status/535440807214743552 Nintendo of Europe on Twitter: 'Mewtwo will be available to purchase later in #SmashBros, for those who don't register both versions.']</ref> It is the only DLC character confirmed so far.
 
==Stages==
Both versions generally have different stages. The Nintendo 3DS version features 34 stages, while the Wii U version features 47. The Wii U version mostly features stages based on games released on home consoles, while the Nintendo 3DS version mostly features stages based on games released on handheld systems.<ref name="Developer Direct"></ref>
 
In the Nintendo 3DS version, each stage plays one of two music tracks, whereas stages in the Wii U version have a comprehensive list of tracks that will play on them, which can be customized using the My Music feature. This feature returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Additionally, players can choose to play on "Ω Forms" of stages, as in, stages that are functionally identical to [[Final Destination]], a flat stage with no features.
 
==Items==
These games offer many new items which can be used in battles. Both versions feature the same types of items.<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry5.html</ref> 75 items, 26 of which are new, appear.
 
==Reception==
''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' has been generally praised by critics for taking the ''Super Smash Bros.'' formula and successfully putting it on a handheld device, as well as for the amount of content it has and the variety of customization options. The version-exclusive Smash Run mode has also met positive reception as a nice diversion from the standard gameplay. The graphics and gameplay have received overall praise, though several critics have noted issues with the game's controls, as well as the Nintendo 3DS's screen size being too small to keep track of the gameplay. The online mode has also been a point of contention, being prone to slowdown and input lag.

In a Famitsu article, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that he originally planned to add the [[Ice Climbers]] to ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' as fighters, but despite the characters running without problems on the Wii U version, the team had trouble getting the Ice Climbers working in the Nintendo 3DS version, due to its lower hardware capabilities. Sakurai stated that they did not have much of a priority, as they were unlikely to star in a new game at the time.<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-addresses-ice-climbers-absence-in-smash-bros-wii-u3ds-and-more-in-new-famitsu-column/ Sakurai mentions about the Ice Climbers had trouble developing on the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.]</ref> However, remnants of their chant in the game can be found through a glitch.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u2vA71r3-I]</ref>
