Due to the handheld hardware the game was designed for, the 3DS is the preferred system to play {{for3ds}}, especially in tournaments. The game has never been re-released on another system, so players with physical copies can only use the 3DS. While emulators like Citra are known to be accurate, they can experience performance issues depending on the platform's hardware. However, the isolated nature of the game and the aging hardware have forced the competitive scene to consider and experiment with these alternatives before the game becomes harder to use.

The competitive scene for {{For3ds}}, given its parity with the Wii U version, always had a significantly smaller scene. This was due to players generally preferring to play ''Smash'' on a big screen, which the 3DS explicitly could not do, but the Wii U did. It was more familiar, used higher-resolution graphics, and had easier-to-access control schemes. The 3DS version was released slightly over two months before the Wii U version, but it was not enough time to grow a scene and very few major tournaments specific to this version have occurred. | The competitive scene for {{For3ds}}, given its parity with the Wii U version, always had a significantly smaller scene.
