File replacement returns in both {{For3ds}} and {{Forwiiu}}. As the process is still fairly new and lacks fully developed tools, only a handful of firmware versions on both the Wii U and 3DS currently support such hacks. This makes it considerably more difficult to access, at least when compared to Smash Stack. As of now, Loadiine is the easiest way to load mods in the WiiU version.

* Adding new music tracks without the need to replace existing ones (eg. adding the piece "One Winged Angel" to [[Midgar]], which only has two songs). Additionally, with the re-introduction of individual fanfares (for characters like {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} and {{SSB4|Rosalina}}), all characters who share a fanfare can once again be given their own.
* Giving characters extra sounds in-game via their alternate costumes, rather than replacing their SFX entirely (eg.
