Features

Album

This shows photos that the player has taken using the camera, be it from the Subspace Emissary, multiplayer mode, or another place in the game. In SSB4, snapshots can also be moved to player-created albums and commented upon.

Challenges

Challenges are a plethora of achievements that can be accomplished in order to unlock prizes. These include Stages, Trophies, Stickers, CDs, Masterpieces, and edit parts for Stage Builder. Challenges return in both versions of SSB4, with the 3DS version featuring challenges intended to be easier to complete compared to the Wii U version.

Chronicle

Only present in Brawl, the Chronicle lists notable Nintendo titles on Nintendo consoles, including, but not limited to, the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Virtual Boy, and Wii titles before Brawl's release.

Masterpieces

This mode allows demos of games from the Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), or Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to be played. This mode was made to show the past adventures of the fighters. This feature is absent from the 3DS version of SSB4.

Replays

This shows videos that the player has taken using the camera. They can be taken in multiplayer mode or in Stadium modes except for Boss Battles, and can only be less than 3 minutes long.

Stage Builder

This allows the player to develop new stages as well choose their music, size, and background. This feature is not present in the 3DS version of SSB4. It is present in the Wii U version, but isn't found in the Vault anymore; instead, it is its own section in the Games & More submenu.

Tips

A new feature in SSB4 that gives helpful hints to the player about the various characters, items, stages, and modes within the game.

Trophies and stickers

Shows every trophy or sticker the player has collected, and in Brawl, allows the player to apply stickers for use in the SSE. It also allows the player to play a game to obtain more trophies (and in Brawl, stickers) by using coins. In Brawl, said game is the Coin Launcher, while in SSB4, it is the Trophy Rush.
