This page documents the update history of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. All additions, fixes and changes are grouped together by the update they were introduced. Some updates have corresponding Changelogs that can be accessed by clicking on the update itself. The changelogs record all gameplay adjustments introduced in the update, which are categorized by character and attached to a symbol that annotates the effect of the adjustment. A green symbol signals a definite buff. A red symbol signals a definite nerf. A blue symbol signals a neutral adjustment. A yellow symbol signals a relation to a glitch. The "Universal" category refers to adjustments to the game as a whole instead a single character. Note that release notes may only be available in Japanese; if so, they will be written and translated here.

Other changes[4][edit]

  • The Games & More and Online menus have been rearranged to fit the amiibo and Share options, respectively.
    • Like most other amiibo-related changes this update, the menu option will not appear on older 3DS models, so the Games & More menu remains unchanged on these systems.

  • For Glory stats display average KOs and falls to two decimal places instead of zero.
  • The game manual can be accessed from the main menu.
