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 black 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 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.
