Editing Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

'''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''''' is the joint fourth installment and the first handheld game in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. [[Sora Ltd.]] and [[Bandai Namco Games]] developed these games.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/06-21-2012|title=Nintendo Direct 6.21.2012|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> It was developed at the same time as its partner game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', but ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' was released earlier due to earlier completion. It shares many similarities in terms of content as its partner game, but it has a few exclusives, most notably, the Smash Run mode. It can also connect with its partner game and transfer customized characters between each other, and the [[Nintendo 3DS]] can be used as a controller for the [[Wii U]] version. The game requires 9,108 blocks (1.16 GB) of memory on an SD Card if purchased from the [[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop]] until March 27, 2023.<ref>[http://i.imgur.com/iU571fE.jpg <nowiki>http://i.imgur.com/iU571fE.jpg</nowiki>]</ref> The game could be played over [[Nintendo Network]], but the service was terminated on April 8, 2024, making the game no longer playable online.<ref name=Shutdown> {{cite|author=@NintendoAmerica|date=October 4, 2023|title=As of early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end service for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software.

The [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS / New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]] models, however, could access Miiverse due to their improved processing power. The game also has {{button|3ds|Cstick}} C Stick support and faster loading times when played on a New Nintendo 3DS.

''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' features similar gameplay to its predecessors, although it most closely resembles the engine in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. For instance, [[smashwiki:air dodge|air dodging]] has remained the same and [[Final Smash]]es and [[smashwiki:Footstool Jump|Footstool Jump]]ing have returned, although random [[trip]]ping has been removed.<ref name="Developer Direct">{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ|title=Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013|author=Nintendo of America|date=June 11, 2013|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>

The core gameplay of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games consist of characters having percentages starting at zero. When they take damage, their percentages rise and they get more easily knocked away. A character is KO'd once that character is knocked far enough, beyond the blast line, indicated by a colorful explosion, falling in the background and turning into a star, or hitting the screen.

Players can customize each fighter by giving them equipment to increase specific attributes (attack, defense, or speed) while sacrificing others. Up to three pieces of equipment can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each, provided that the variations are unlocked first. The Mii Fighters and Palutena, however, have custom special attacks that are completely original moves rather than variants of existing moves; these are unlocked from the beginning. Players can have up to ten custom characters saved at a time, though the player can have as many Mii Fighters as they want. Custom characters cannot be used in With Anyone online.

 

Players can send customized fighters from one version to the other. Custom fighters transferred from one version cannot be edited on the receiving version, however. Additionally, by connecting the two games the player can use their Nintendo 3DS as a controller for the Wii U version.<ref>{{cite|author=S.

[[File:SSB3DS Smash Run.jpg|thumb|[[Link]] participating in a round of Smash Run.]]

A new mode, Smash Run is a Nintendo 3DS-exclusive single-player and multiplayer mode strongly resembling the [[wikirby:City Trial|City Trial]] mode from ''[[wikirby:Kirby Air Ride|Kirby Air Ride]]'' while including elements of the Subspace Emissary mode from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In this mode, players travel in a large maze-like map, fighting enemies from both Nintendo games and ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, such as [[Magikoopa]]s, [[List of Smash Run enemies#Chandelure|Chandelure]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Kremling]]s. Before going into battle, players can equip powers, which have a variety of effects, such as being a more powerful attack, temporarily increasing stats, healing, or equipping the player with an item. The player can equip only a certain number of powers based on their weight, the maximum weight being determined by the player's current equipment and the fighter.

 

While fighting, players can collect several items similar to [[wikirby:Patch|patches]]. These stat boosts can increase attack power, special attack power, jumping, or movement speed; there are also special stat boosts that increase all stats. After five minutes, players are shown their final stats, courtesy of the stat boosts they collected, and they are pitted in one of several modes, similar to the Stadiums from City Trial, in which players must fulfill the given conditions to win.

[[File:SSB3DS StreetSmash.jpg|thumb|left|A game of StreetSmash.]]

StreetSmash is another new game mode serving as the StreetPass functionality for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. Players compete against other player character's tokens with their own by charging into them to knock them off the stage. Players attack by holding down the {{button|3ds|A}} to build up power, then letting it go and holding the Control Pad in a certain direction to charge forward into an opponent. Players can also shield by pressing {{button|3ds|R}}, and can dodge by moving when shielding; pressing {{button|3ds|A}} after dodging allows the player to counterattack. In StreetSmash mode players can either play against other players they have StreetPassed with or in practice mode; both allow the player to earn gold.

[[File:3DSClassic.jpg|thumb|[[Mario]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Ike]] about to fight against giant [[Donkey Kong]]]]

Like the previous games in the series, Classic mode has the player travel through a series of challenges to reach the end. However, this mode is shorter than before, only being six stages long. Before starting, the player can adjust the difficulty level by betting gold, exactly like the {{iw|icaruspedia|Fiend's Cauldron}} from ''{{iw|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''; a higher difficulty yielding better rewards. The player can also choose to lower the intensity below 2.0, but has to pay 5G for every level decrease that's made. Intensity level 2.0 does not require any gold to play. If at any point the player gets a [[Game Over|game over]], the intensity level automatically lowers itself by .5 if they decide to try again. However, the intensity will never drop below 2.0; if the player plays on a difficulty lower than 2.0 and gets a game over, the intensity also does not lower.

Before each challenge, the player travels across a map, and they can select which challenge to face by taking one of the diverging paths colored by difficulty, with blue being the easiest, green being medium, and red being the hardest; opponents are based upon the characters the player has unlocked, and unlocking any characters allows the player to face them in Classic. After each match, the player can receive various rewards, including gold, trophies, and custom parts; the exact type of reward depends on the results of a roulette before the battle. As the intensity increases, so does the number of rewards.

Classic Mode consists of six rounds: four are normal, the fifth involves fighting 10 enemies that are significantly easier to launch (either a "team" of a character or the Fighting Mii Team), and the final round is a boss fight. The player can face either [[Master Hand]] or, if the intensity is 3.0 or higher, the player can choose a black path to fight both Master Hand and Crazy Hand. (If the intensity is 8.0 or higher, then only the black path will be available.) If the intensity is 5.1 or higher, the player must also fight the [[Master Core]]. The number of its forms the player will have to fight varies depending on the intensity level.

[[File:AllStar3DS.JPG|thumb|left|[[Bowser]] in the All-Star rest area]]

All-Star mode also returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and up to two players can play together locally just like the latter game. In this mode, players fight against every playable character (except for the [[Mii Fighter]]s) until they reach the end; this time, however, characters are organized by periods that they were introduced in rather than by series. All-Star Mode is also available from the beginning of the game, though the player can only play against the default roster until every character is unlocked. After each match, players may be given a reward, and occasionally a trophy or custom part will appear in the break room. The break room also gives the player a [[Maxim Tomato]], [[Fairy Bottle]], and [[Heart Container]] to heal between matches; in the full All-Star mode, the player is given a second Heart Container. However, the items will not return once consumed unless the player starts over. When All-Star Mode is cleared, the player earns a trophy of an alternate color of their character rather than a Final Smash trophy like in the previous game.

 

Like in ''Brawl''{{'}}s Boss Battles Mode, if the player runs out of time or loses their one stock, there are no continues and the player receives a [[Game Over]], which leads to the results display screen showing the gold, Global Smash Power, score, trophies, and custom parts that the player earned so far.

Training also returns from previous games, identical to the previous games. Within Training, players can train against a computer opponent, and can automatically select items that appear, game speed, the number of CPU opponents, their behavior, and the current amount of damage for all players. The player can also adjust the camera view and toggle the info display at the top of the screen, as well as restart the session or quit.

[[File:HomeRun3DS.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mii Brawler]] in the Home-Run Contest]]

In Stadium mode, three different games are available: Multi-Man Smash, [[Home-Run Contest]], and [[Target Blast]]. The Home-Run Contest works like in previous games, in that players have ten seconds to build up damage on the [[Sandbag]] before having to launch it as far as they can. Several tweaks have also been made to this mode from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', such as having a more durable shield.

In Multi-Man Smash, the player fights against the [[Fighting Mii Team]], consisting of [[Mii]]s loaded from those on the player's system. The Miis are easier to launch in every mode aside from Cruel Smash, and sometimes platforms will appear with items on them. Two players can also play this mode together via local wireless. The options for this mode are the same as in the previous games, though with a brand new mode as well:

*{{iw|smashwiki|10-Man Smash}} - The player must defeat ten enemies.

*{{iw|smashwiki|100-Man Smash}} - The player must defeat 100 enemies.

*{{iw|smashwiki|3-Minute Smash}} - The player must defeat as many Miis as possible in three minutes.

*{{iw|smashwiki|Rival Smash}} - A brand new mode, in which players compete against a computer version of themselves to defeat as many enemies as possible before being KO'd. Once KO'd, however, only the difference between scores is counted as the player's final score; if the player KOs fewer Miis than the opponent, their score is zero.

*{{iw|smashwiki|Endless Smash}} - The player must defeat as many enemies as possible before being KO'd.

*{{iw|smashwiki|Cruel Smash}} - The player must fight against more difficult enemies that can easily KO the player, and defeat as many as possible.

Target Blast functions like a combination of the Home-Run Contest and Target Smash in previous games. In this mode, players have ten seconds to attack and launch a bomb to destroy as many targets as possible; the countdown starts as soon as the player starts attacking. There are fourteen large, red targets and several smaller, green amongst structures that must be broken through; a trophy, piece of equipment, or special move may also be among the targets. Also scattered throughout are explosives that can be detonated by having the bomb touch them. The player has two rounds to break as many targets as they can and accumulate the highest score possible.

There are a total of 707 trophies in the 3DS version. Within the trophies menu itself, players have the option of viewing their collected trophies or earning more by either buying them in the shop or by playing the Trophy Rush minigame.

 

[[File:TrophyRush3DS.JPG|thumb|[[Donkey Kong]] in the Trophy Rush minigame]]

In Trophy Rush, the player must pay gold to increase the amount of time they spend in the minigame, the minimum being thirty seconds and the maximum being 2:30. In the game itself, players must attack crates and rock blocks as they fall from above to destroy them; destroying multiple consecutively creates a chain that increases the player's score. Bomb blocks also fall and explode after three seconds. Destroying the falling blocks builds up a meter that, when full, initiates "Frenzy", in which gold, trophies, and on occasion custom parts fall from above for the player to collect. If the blocks and crates reach above a certain point or the player falls off the stage, the stage disappears, clearing the board and, in the case of the former, costing the player time.

Also returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' are Challenges. In this mode, players are given a board of challenges that can be completed by clearing the given criteria. Clearing a challenge unlocks a picture on the top screen as well as a trophy, custom part, stage, CD, Smash Run power, or Poké Ball Pokémon. Completing a certain number of challenges on a given panel unlocks a new panel of challenges. Occasionally the player will also be rewarded with a [[Golden Hammer]], which can be used to automatically clear a challenge.

This game features online play similar to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' in that players from all over the world can face others in matches. When playing With Friends, players can customize the rules to their liking. When playing With Anyone, two basic options are available: For Fun and For Glory. In For Fun mode, players battle on randomly selected normal stages, excluding Final Destination, with all items turned on. Losses are not recorded in this mode. In For Glory mode, players only play on the flat, Final Destination versions of stages, without items. Players can either play standard Smash or Team Smash matches in both modes and For Glory offers a 1-on-1 mode as well.

Conquest became available in the Nintendo 3DS version through an update on September 15, 2014 in Japan, and October 2, 2014 in all other regions. Conquests pit some of the game's various characters against each other, and players who win battles with them in With Anyone mode will add points to that character's score. After a few days, the winning fighter is revealed, players who took part in the conquest by playing as that character get rewarded with gold, and the next conquest begins.  

Spectate mode allows players to view matches and bet gold on their outcome, view replays of past online matches, and view a map showing the players currently online.

 

As of version 1.0.5, there is also a Share mode, which allows players to send and download screenshots, replays, and Mii Fighters from around the world. Players can share their Mii Fighters and replays with friends or post them to the server, while snapshots can also be posted to Miiverse. When searching for replays players can search by their creator (self, anyone, or friends), location, mode, stage, and character; when searching for snapshots or Mii Fighters, players can search by creator, location, and, in the case of Mii Fighters, the type of fighter.

 

Rather than an online leaderboard, the game makes use of a different type of ranking system, called "Global Smash Power". A player's GSP score is recorded for each of the various single-player modes, the number indicating how many players around the world they outrank.

Counting the three types of [[Mii|Mii Fighters]] as individual characters, ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' features a total of 58 playable characters, the roster being consistent across both games. The base roster consists of 51 characters (counting each Mii Fighter), featuring 34 returning characters and 17 new ones (namely, the base game newcomers are [[Villager]], [[Mega Man]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], [[Little Mac]], [[Greninja]], [[Mii Brawler]], [[Mii Swordfighter]], [[Mii Gunner]], [[Palutena]], [[Pac-Man]], [[Lucina]], [[Robin]], [[Shulk]], [[Dark Pit]], [[Bowser Jr.]], and [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]]). In addition, 36 characters are available by default, while 12 more can be unlocked, and Mii Fighters can only be chosen when one is created. Also, seven characters were released as downloadable content, being the returning fighters [[Mewtwo]], [[Lucas]], and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], and newcomers [[Ryu]], [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]], [[Corrin]], and [[Bayonetta]]. Finally, [[pikipedia:Alph|Alph]] and the [[Koopalings]] are newly available as alternate costume options for [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] and Bowser Jr. respectively, and both the male and female versions of Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, and Corrin are additionally available through alternate costumes. Wii Fit Trainer, Palutena, Dark Pit, and Duck Hunt are also playable for the first time in any game. The character selection screen is divided up into two sections: Original Fighters, characters already part of the core game, and Extra Fighters, characters purchased as downloadable content.

To keep the rosters consistent across both games, certain characters and features have been removed, partly due to limitations with the Nintendo 3DS hardware. One of the removed features was mid-battle transformations, leading to [[Charizard]], [[Sheik]], and Zero Suit [[Samus]] to be added as separate characters, after being respectively connected to [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Zelda]], and Samus in past games.

 

With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS on March 27, 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the downloadable characters. Redownloading previously downloaded characters was initially disabled upon the termination of [[Nintendo Network]] services on April 8, 2024, which made the in-game online shop inaccessible; this was fixed several days later.<ref>{{cite|author=Tjoeb123|language=en|date=April 9, 2024|url=www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/1bziypr/previously_purchased_smash_bros_3ds_dlc_is_no|title=Previously purchased Smash Bros (3DS) DLC is no longer redownloadable|publisher=Reddit|accessdate=April 18, 2024}}{{better source}}</ref>

There are 42 stages in this game, with most of them being based on handheld games. Each stage has two songs, with players being able to play the alternate song by holding the {{button|3ds|R}} button while selecting a stage. Additionally, players can toggle between playing on "Final Destination" variations of all stages (represented by a "Ω") in addition to playing on the standard versions, being a flat course with no obstacles or other platforms. Stages listed in ''italics'' are unlockable. Extra Stages are downloadable stages that were either bundled with certain [[#Extra characters|DLC characters]] or could be purchased individually, except for [[Duck Hunt (stage)|Duck Hunt]], which is added to the game for free through a software update.

With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS on March 27, 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the paid downloadable stages, though they can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available.
