This page lists noteworthy similarities and differences between the Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros. 4.

Similarities

  • The two versions will have the same characters.[1]

Differences

Stages

  • Several stages will be exclusive to one version or the other. The 3DS version will feature more stages from handheld games, while the Wii U version will feature more stages from console games.[2]

Graphics

One of the more notable differences between the two, the distinct black outline around Pit in the 3DS version.
  • The two games have distinct graphical styles. The 3DS version has flatter shading and a black outline around its characters in order to make them more visible on the 3DS's smaller screen. The Wii U, being more graphically advanced, has smoother edges around the characters. The Wii U version is more graphically detailed, as it is in high definition.

Character Customization

  • The 3DS version will encompass an exclusive character customization feature. Not much detail has been revealed on what this feature entails, but it has been stated that customizations will not be different costumes and that the customizations will not have to be unlocked by completing repetitive tasks. Customized characters from the 3DS version will be transferrable to the Wii U version.[3]
