Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (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 being released as part of the Super Smash Bros. 4 pair, and the handheld counterpart to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. 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 will be released on September 13, 2014 in Japan, and 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.

Features of the 3DS version

• Smash Run, a mode similar to City Trial from 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.
• 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.
