'''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''''' ({{ja|大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS}}, ''Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu for Nintendo 3DS'') is one of two games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] being released as part of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' pair, and the handheld counterpart to {{forwiiu}}. Although most gameplay elements are shared between the two versions, there are several elements which distinguish the two.

The game will be playable on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in full stereoscopic 3D. It is the first ''Smash'' title to be released on a handheld.

''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' was released on September 13, 2014 in Japan, and will be released in most other parts of the world on October 3, 2014. The game will be released in stores one day earlier in Germany on October 2, and one day later in Australia on October 4.

===Multi-player stages===

The two versions of ''SSB4'' have separate sets of available stages; only a few stages appear in both the Wii U and 3DS versions. The 3DS version's stages are based more heavily on handheld games. The following stages are available in the 3DS version:

===Single-player modes===

*[[Classic Mode]]

===Multi-player modes===

==Features of the 3DS version==

*[[Smash Run]], a mode similar to {{s|wikirby|City Trial}} from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}'', is exclusive to the 3DS version. Characters spend five minutes fighting enemies from various game series and collecting powerups, which are then active during a one minute battle at the end.

*Optional dark outlines around playable characters will be present in the 3DS version, in order to make characters stand out more on the smaller screen. The outlines can be set to thick or thin, or turned off completely.

**In Team Battles, the outlines change color to represent the proper team (e.g., red outlines for red team). This allows the player(s) to choose whatever {{SSB4|palette swap}} they want, regardless of what team they're on.

*The 3DS version will feature different collectible [[trophies]] than the Wii U version, with a greater focus on elements from handheld games.

*The 3DS version will have "roughly the same types" of assist characters as the Wii U version.

*The 3DS version will have two musical tracks per stage, similar to the [[alternate music]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

*In the 3DS version, players can tap on a character's icon on the bottom screen to place a marker on that character on the top screen, in order to more easily follow their movements.

*The 3DS version will feature {{s|wikipedia|StreetPass}} functionality as part of the [[Street Smash]] mode.

The demo is restricted to Vs. Mode only and allows only {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Link}}, {{SSB4|Pikachu}}, {{SSB4|Villager}} and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} as playable characters, with {{SSB4|Battlefield}} (normal form and [[Ω form]]) as the only available stage. Rules cannot be adjusted from two minute time matches. Both fighting against AI and local multiplayer are possible. The only mode available outside of regular battles is the Tips section, which provides gameplay tips which also appear on loading screens.

On September 9th 2014, the demo was made available on the Japanese Nintendo eShop. On September 12th, 2014, download codes for the demo were sent out to selected members of Club Nintendo Europe and Platinum members of the United States Club Nintendo; on September 13th, 2014, download codes were sent out to selected members of Club Nintendo Australia and New Zealand; recipients of the download codes received four each, to promote the games' four-player multiplayer feature. The demo is scheduled to be available on the eShop without a code on September 19th, 2014, but unlike the download code demo it will have a play limit of 30.

Versions of the demo obtained with a download code have no play limit; versions obtained without one are restricted to thirty usages from the 3DS main menu.
