Like with most other Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software titles, this title can be purchased at retail stores and could be purchased from the [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|Nintendo eShop]] until March 27, 2023, with the digital version requiring 15,700 MB (about 15.3 GB) of memory to be installed. Due to the amount of space that it requires, standard set Wii U consoles cannot download this title without an external storage device, but deluxe set Wii U consoles can.

The game could be played online via [[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.

''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' have some similarities and differences from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as differences between the two versions. [[Final Smash]]es and [[smashwiki:Footstool Jump|Footstool Jump]]ing make a return, while the "tripping" mechanic 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 pace of battles has also been stated to be in between ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.  

 

Both games have the same roster of playable characters in order to keep them consistent. The movesets and animations of some returning characters were changed more significantly than during the transition from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', with many returning characters having completely new moves, and major alterations (such as Pit). Aesthetically, the games are much more stylized and visually intense than the previous entries, with the overall colors being bolder and brighter and many elements having been redone to stand out more, and the characters also appear more similar to their current appearances from their franchises of origin, lacking realistic details in them.

[[File:Rosalina-Custom-SSBWiiU.jpg|thumb]]

Players can send customized fighters from one version to the other. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each. The Mii Fighters and Palutena, however, have custom special attacks that are not variants of the original attacks; these are unlocked from the beginning. Players can also equip items to fighters to increase specific attributes (attack, defense, or speed) while sacrificing others. Up to three items can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter.<ref>{{cite|url=www.smashbros.com/wiiu-3ds/us/howto/entry2.html|title=''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' - Character Creation|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>

Custom characters cannot be used in "With Anyone" online. 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. Good, Owen|date=September 13, 2014|language=en|url=www.polygon.com/2014/9/13/6145039/super-smash-bros-on-will-u-will-allow-players-to-use-a-3ds-as-a|publisher=Polygon|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> alternatively, players were able to purchase the "Smash Controller" application that was released on June 14, 2015 from the Nintendo 3DS eShop to use their system as a controller.<ref>{{cite|author=Sahdev, Ishaan|date=June 14, 2015|url=www.siliconera.com/you-can-now-use-your-3ds-to-control-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u-without-a-copy-of-the-game|title=You Can Now Use Your 3DS To Control ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' Without A Copy Of The Game|publisher=Siliconera|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> The "Smash Controller" application requires 314 blocks (40.1 MB) to be installed.

====8-Player Smash====

[[File:SSB4 Wii U 8-player Smash.jpg|thumb|210px|An 8-Player Smash on [[Mario Galaxy (stage)|Mario Galaxy]]]]

A new game mode known as 8-Player Smash is also available. As opposed to the traditional four player battles ''Super Smash Bros.'' is known for, up to eight players can join a single battle. An option of four teams is allowed, with the yellow team serving as a new team color choice. In this special game mode, most stages are restricted when five or six players are playing and even more when seven or eight are playing; in stages that are playable in 8-Player Smash, stage hazards such as bosses and other features are removed for optimization purposes, though stage incompatibility has shown to be mostly arbitrary, with even some incompatible stages featuring 8-Player spawn points.<ref>{{cite|author=Soneek BCM|date=December 12, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfMgThz4WYU|title=8 Player Smash on ANY stage|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> Omega variants of the same stage may allow for more players. Players additionally cannot play coin battles in 8-Player Smash.

====Smash Tour====

[[File:SmashTourSSBWiiU.jpeg|thumb|200px|left|The normal-sized Smash Tour board]]

Smash Tour is a new mode serving as the exclusive mode for the Wii U version. Smash Tour is a board game mode in which players (as Miis) travel around a board by spinning a wheel, collecting fighters and power-ups for their fighters scattered around the board. Players start with two fighters by default. If two players cross paths, then all players are pitted into a Smash battle for a reward, and the winner obtains a fighter from one of the other players. Players may also obtain items that can be used to trigger various effects, and random events may also occur on the board. Checkpoints are also scattered around the board which boost players' stats when they pass over them. The number of turns can be set between 15 and 25, and after all the turns have ended, players fight in a Stock match using their stat boosts, their stock based on the fighters they collected. The player can choose between a small, normal-sized, and big board to play on.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

 

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Special Orders}}

[[File:MasterOrders-SSBWiiU.png|thumb|250px|Master Orders]]

In Special Orders, the player has the choice of playing either "Master Orders" or "Crazy Orders", referring to [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]]. In their respective modes, Master Hand and Crazy Hand construct challenges for the player. Players purchase tickets in order to face challenges. In Master Orders, players purchase tickets in order to try one of three challenges, the reward depending on the difficulty; each ticket is used separately, and each challenge may only be tried once. Playing Crazy Orders requires the player to either use a pass or pay 5,000 gold; the player can then play any number of challenges to rack up rewards within a set time limit before facing Crazy Hand in a final battle. If the player loses at any point they lose some of their rewards.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

Events return from the previous two installments, in which players take on a series of themed battles. Events are arranged in a grid, however, and the path forward reveals itself when the player completes a given event. Players can also receive various rewards such as trophies, gold, and Special Orders passes by completing challenges. Like in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', two player Events are also available.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

====Masterpieces====

[[File:SSB4 WiiU Masterpieces.jpg|thumb|150px|The Masterpiece selection screen in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]

Masterpieces from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' returns as a feature in the [[#Vault|Vault]]. It offers short demos of past Nintendo games that can be played for a certain amount of time. The game can redirect the player to the [[Nintendo eShop]] where they may purchase the [[Virtual Console]] version of the game, if it is available on the service.

The following is a list of the Masterpieces:

|The game begins at the title screen, where the player can choose to play as Mario or [[Luigi]].

|The game begins at the title screen and allows the player to choose from three save files: Two from the beginning of the game, and one before the final battle. The Masterpiece is unlocked by clearing Solo Classic as Kirby on intensity 5.5 or higher.

|The game begins in the Great Cave Offensive.

|''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' (NES)

|The player immediately starts from the beginning of the game.

|The game starts on the world map in front of [[Yoshi's House]], where the player can choose to start from [[Yoshi's Island 1]] or [[Yoshi's Island 2]].

|The game starts at the settings menu after the title screen. It is unlocked by clearing 10-Man Smash without taking damage as Dr. Mario.

|The game begins at the title screen. It is unlocked by clearing Solo Classic as Yoshi on any intensity.

|Despite the menu icon depicting a screenshot of Air Man's stage, the game begins from the cutscene leading to the first stage of Wily Castle. The player has two Energy Tanks as well as every upgrade and Robot Master's weapon.

|The player starts in Mute City, racing as the [[Blue Falcon]].

|The game starts in the Light Plane training level.

|''[[nwiki:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]'' (NES)

|The game begins at the title screen, where the player is given the choice to play the main game or Balloon Trip mode.

|The player starts at [[75m]], the second level of the NES port of the game.

|The game begins at the title screen. The player can choose to start from the beginning or input a password to fight an opponent encountered later in the game. The Masterpiece is unlocked by clearing the Event "No Mere Sparring Match" ("Intensive Sparring" in PAL versions) on Normal or Hard difficulty.

|The player starts directly from the beginning of the game, where Samus first arrives on [[Brinstar]].

|The Masterpiece is exactly the same as the one in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', with two save files to choose from: One at the beginning of the game, and one in Norfair.

|The game starts at the opening cutscene. It is unlocked by hitting [[Sandbag]] at least 1968 ft./600 m. in [[Home-Run Contest]].

The Wii U version's Classic Mode operates in a different manner from that of the 3DS version. It still maintains the intensity system in the 3DS version; players can spend gold to increase the intensity level, and if the player gets a Game Over, some of their rewards will be lost, and the intensity will lower by .5, unless the intensity level is set at 2.0. Classic Mode can be played with two players together.

Instead of paths, the player has to choose which group of fighters that they want to fight. As many as seven opponents may be fought in a single stage. One of the opponents includes the rival, which is programmed to be harder than the other opponents. The longer the rival stays alive, the stronger it becomes. On some occasions, an intruder may pop up for one match; the intruder will either be giant-sized or metallic. Some opponents may even possess rewards, which can either be gold, trophies, custom parts, or a Crazy Orders Pass.

 

{|class="wikitable"width="100%"

===All-Star===

Unlike Classic, All-Star is almost the same as in the Nintendo 3DS version. Some differences include a larger rest area, and the characters appear in reverse chronological order; at the beginning, players face the newest characters and finish with the oldest fighters in the game. All-Star Mode can be played with two players together.

 

Like in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''{{'}}s Boss Battles Mode, the player receives a [[Game Over]] with no continues if they lose their one stock or run out of time, which then leads to the results display screen showing the gold, Global Smash Power, score, trophies, Crazy Orders Passes, and custom parts that the player earned so far.

===Stadium===

[[File:Target Blast (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U).jpg|thumb|Target Blast]]

Just like in the Nintendo 3DS version, three stadium games are playable. [[Home-Run Contest]] follows the same rules as in the previous installment but with an option to compete with four players. [[Target Blast]] now has three stages to play with instead of one, up to four players can participate, and the bomb is bigger in the second round, resulting a bigger explosion when that happens. Multi-Man Smash remains the same as in the Nintendo 3DS version. Multi-Man Smash can be played with up to four players.

===Vault===

Similar to the Nintendo 3DS version, the Vault allows players to view and buy Trophies and view records, tips, and replays as well as listen to the sound effects and music. In this version, however, players can also view the games' promotional trailers, ending movies for the fighters, as well as play [[#Masterpieces|Masterpieces]].

====Trophies====

There are a total of 743 trophies in the Wii U version. In the Trophies menu, players have the option to buy Trophies from the Trophy Shop like in the Nintendo 3DS version. Trophy Rush is also available, though in this version up to two players can play. Like in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Photo Studio allows the player to pose and resize their Trophies on various backgrounds and take pictures of them. Another new mode known as Trophy Box allows the player to fill boxes with trophies based on given criteria, such as game series (''Paper Mario'', ''New Super Mario Bros.'') or specific games (''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'').<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

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. Voice chat is also available when playing With Friends, though like ''Mario Kart 8'' it can only be used between battles.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/> 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.

Including DLC characters, this installment features a total of 58 playable characters. These consist of 37 veterans and 21 newcomers. Certain characters from the previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games have been removed from the rosters of both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions in order to keep them consistent, partly due to limitations with the Nintendo 3DS version. Unlike the previous games in the series, with the removal of in-game transformations, [[Sheik]], [[Samus|Zero Suit Samus]], and [[Charizard]] are now standalone characters. Of the playable character roster, if excluding [[Mii Fighter]]s and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], eleven originate from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and its spin-off series (eighteen if counting each of the Koopalings), with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]] being playable.

[[Mewtwo]] returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a downloadable, 50th character, releasing for free to Club Nintendo members who signed up for a promotion involving the purchase of both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions of the game.<ref name="clubnintendo">{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140902060741/http://club2.nintendo.com/smash-promo|title=Super Smash Bros Offer|publisher=Club Nintendo|language=en-us|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> It was released as a paid download later on for those who did not register both versions.<ref name="Mewtwo confirmed to launch as paid DLC later on">{{cite|url=x.com/nintendoeurope/status/535440807214743552|title=Mewtwo will be available to purchase later in #SmashBros, for those who don't register both versions. <nowiki>http://</nowiki>fal.cn/Efs|publisher=X|accessdate=June 25, 2024|date=November 20, 2014|language=en-gb|author=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref> In addition, two more characters return from the previous installments as downloadable characters, namely Roy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and [[Lucas]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Four more newcomers made their debut as playable characters: [[Ryu]] from the ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series, [[Cloud Strife]] from ''{{iw|strategywiki|Final Fantasy VII}}'', [[Corrin]] from ''{{iw|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', and [[Bayonetta]] from the ''{{iw|nwiki|Bayonetta series|Bayonetta}}'' series. DLC characters do not have any custom special moves or any unique Palutena's Guidance conversations.

 

With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Wii U in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the downloadable characters, though they can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available.

''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' has a total of 55 stages, mostly based on home console games to differ from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''{{'}}s stages, which are mostly based on handheld games. 34 of the stages are new with 21 returning from the previous three games. 41 of the stages are immediately available with five being locked and nine being downloadable. Thirteen stages are shared between both versions, which includes all downloadable stages aside from [[Pirate Ship (stage)|Pirate Ship]] and [[Miiverse (stage)|Miiverse]].

Unlike ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', this game has a full My Music feature, allowing players to change the frequency at which each song plays for every stage. Players can change the music settings in the My Music menu, or on the stage select screen by pressing {{button|wiiu|Y}}. Finally, every stage in the game has an "omega" ("Ω") variant, a completely flat stage similar to Final Destination, which can be selected on the stage select screen by pressing {{button|wiiu|X}}.

With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Wii U in March 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.

|The general layout of this stage has not changed since the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' It has a long base platform with three semi-solid platforms hanging above it. In this game, ruins surround the Battlefield and the time of day rotates as battles continue. This is one of the few stages shared between versions.

![[File:BigBattlefieldWiiU.png|150px]]<br>[[Battlefield|Big Battlefield]][[File:SmashBros Emblem.png|30px|class=invert-dark]]

|A bigger version of the Battlefield stage, made to hold a larger number of players to accommodate for the new 8-Player Smash mode. Like Battlefield, it has a long, solid base platform, but six platforms hanging above it instead of three.

![[File:SSB4 WiiU FinalDestination.jpg|150px]]<br>[[Final Destination]]{{footnote|main|†}}[[File:SmashBros Emblem.png|30px|class=invert-dark]]

|Like in previous installments, Final Destination is a simple stage, consisting only of a large platform with no stage hazards or other gimmicks. When playing through Classic Mode, the bosses [[Master Hand]], [[Crazy Hand]], and/or [[Master Core]] are fought here. The scenery changes as battles continue.
