In {{for3ds}}, various types of data are saved to the Nintendo 3DS's SD card rather than its internal memory. Save data takes up 48 "blocks" of memory (or 6 megabytes), and [[List of updates (SSB4-3DS)|the game's updates]] also take up varying amounts of space, with version 1.0.5 requiring 1010 blocks (or about 126.25 megabytes). Additionally, if the game is digitally downloaded via the Nintendo eShop, then all of the game's data is saved to the SD card. [[Snapshots]] also returned for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and are also saved to the SD card, though they can be transferred to the Nintendo 3DS's internal memory if they are accessed via the Nintendo 3DS Camera application.

The Wii U also features an SD card slot, with {{forwiiu}} requiring an SD card to capture and save snapshots. ''Smash 4'' is uniquely the only Wii U game that can take advantage of the console's SD card slot. If run on a Wii U, ''Brawl'' also features full compatibility with SD cards.

{{Incomplete|could use some info about the 3DS version, which is hackable with SD cards as well}}
A SD card can be used to hack a Wii U in the latest firmware version of 5.5.1. It revolves around exploiting the console's network connectivity through the Internet browser. By using a xampp server to stream critical data to a website via one's IP address, it essentially forces the Wii U to recognize anything stored on the SD card as game update data upon the boot up of said game. Once either the game is closed out, the console is turned off, or the SD card is removed, everything returns to as it was before.[http://pastebin.com/ES053DpJ]

Like with the Wii, custom data, hacks, and exploits can be loaded on the 3DS via the SD Card. Many ways of hacking the 3DS using an SD card exist, but they all involve placing files on the SD card that trigger a certain response from the console and allow custom data to be loaded. Through this, it becomes possible to use custom files and cheats for ''Smash 3DS'' by placing them on the SD Card and running them accordingly. A [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_smashbroshax homebrew exploit] using ''Smash 3DS'' as well as a custom file on the SD Card also exists though it was patched via [[List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.3 changelog|a game update]].
