''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">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ YouTube - Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' @E3 2013]</ref> The pace of battles has also been stated to be in between ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.  
''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' has all of the same playable {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s as in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. Like the transition between each game of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the moves and animations of some characters in both games were changed. The graphics are bolder and brighter than in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', so the characters lack realistic details.


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.
Some mechanics in the Wii U and [[Nintendo 3DS]] versions were retained from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', most notably [[Final Smash]]es, but also {{iw|smashwiki|Footstool Jump}}s. However, some mechanics were removed, such as {{iw|smashwiki|tripping}}.<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> There is the returning {{iw|smashwiki|Versus Mode|Smash}} mode, including its rule settings: {{iw|smashwiki|Stamina Mode|Stamina}}, where fighters' health is measured in {{iw|smashwiki|Hit points|HP}}; {{iw|smashwiki|Time}}, where battles end after a period of time; {{iw|smashwiki|Stock}}, in which fighters have lives; and {{iw|smashwiki|Coin Battle}}, in which the winner is determined by who has the most coins at the end.


The Wii U version does not make much use of the GamePad's touch screen during gameplay. However, in addition to Off-TV Play, the Wii U GamePad can display in-battle stats, such as damage percentages.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ Wii U - ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza]. Posted to YouTube by Nintendo (October 23, 2014). Retrieved October 23, 2014.</ref> Like in all games, Smash has its traditional fighting game mode with its customized rules where four chosen fighters play on chosen stages. This includes the Stamina mode (where players get HP that decreases), Time (time limit), Stock (lives) and Coin Battle (winner is the one that collects the most coins). Special Smash also returns in this version, allowing players to battle under certain conditions.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

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 aren't 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.

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>Soneek BCM.

[[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"/>
Smash Tour is a Wii U-exclusive board game mode. Gameplay can take place on either a small, normal-sized, or a big board, anywhere between 15 to 25 turns. Each player controls a [[Mii]], who has to hit a spinning wheel at the start of each turn. They can collect fighters along the path, which are used in battles with opponents, and items with varying effects, with some causing an event. Whenever two players walk on the same space, each one has to choose a fighter to participate in a Smash battle, and the winner receives a a reward. Fighters can have their stats boosted from checkpoints around the board. When all turns are over, players fight in a Stock match using their stat boosts, and their stock matches how many fighters they have collected.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/>

[[File:MasterOrders-SSBWiiU.png|thumb|250px|Master 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"/>
In Special Orders, the player has the choice of playing either "{{iw|smashwiki|Special Orders#Master Orders|Master Orders}}" or "{{iw|smashwiki|Special Orders#Crazy Orders|Crazy Orders}}", featuring challenges made by {{iw|smashwiki|Master Hand}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Crazy Hand}}, respectively. Master Orders involves purchasing tickets to have only one chance at completing one of three challenges presented, and the rewards for clearing the challenges depends on the difficulty. Crazy Orders involves either paying 5,000 gold or using a pass to gain rewards from playing in challenges within a set time limit, followed by a fight against Crazy Hand. Whenever the player loses, they also 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"/>
Events are battles that involve clearing a unique objective, involving either one or two players. It is another mode that returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

[[File:Classic SSBWiiU.jpeg|thumb|250px|The board in Classic Mode]]
[[File:Classic SSBWiiU.jpeg|thumb|250px|The board in Classic Mode]]
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 his/her 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.
The game has its own Classic Mode, which supports one or two players. It retains the intensity system from the Nintendo 3DS version, in which gold can be spent to increase the intensity. If the player uses a {{iw|smashwiki|continue}}, the intensity lowers by .5, unless the intensity is already at 2.0 or lower, and they lose rewards. On the board, the player has to move a token of their fighter to the group of fighters they want to battle, some of which are an 8-Player Smash. One of the opponents has the title of "rival," which means that opponent requires more effort to defeat. A battle sometimes has an unexpected intruder, a fighter who is either metallic or giant. Defeating certain opponents or groups earns the player certain rewards, such as gold or {{iw|smashwiki|List of unlockables (SSB4-Wii U)|unlockables}}. Any opponent who is defeated by the player or their allies, who are recruited after defeating them, are shown inside the "Fighters Defeated" box.


Instead of paths, the player has to choose which group of fighters that he/she wants 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.
There seven stages in total. The first three stages involve battling default opponents and the rival. In the fourth and fifth stages, the player battles another group of opponents, except they use their {{iw|smashwiki|alternate costume}}s and may sometimes have {{iw|smashwiki|Character customization|custom special moves}}. The sixth stage is always the {{iw|smashwiki|Fighting Mii Team}}. The seventh and final stage is a battle against {{iw|smashwiki|Master Hand}}, as well as {{iw|smashwiki|Crazy Hand}} in intensity 3.0 or higher, and sometimes even {{iw|smashwiki|Master Core}}. Completing Classic Mode earns the player a trophy of their fighter.


When the player KOs any opponents, their trophies will be displayed in the "Fighters Defeated" box. The defeated opponents can later be used as allies for any team battle matches. In team battles, opponents that the player's allies KO will also be added to the "Fighters Defeated" box.
There are a total of seven stages, with the first three stages consisting of battles against default opponents and the rival. For stages 4 and 5, the player will face an additional group of opponents, but they will use their alternate color schemes; these opponents may also come equipped with their custom special moves. Stage 6 pits the player against the [[Fighting Mii Team]], where they must KO twenty Fighting Miis. Stage 7 pits the player against Master Hand, but higher intensities will add Crazy Hand, and even Master Core to the mix. Unlike in the 3DS version, the player does not have the option to avoid fighting Crazy Hand on intensity levels 3.0 and higher. Upon completing the mode, the player earns a trophy of their current character.

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.
All-Star Mode is nearly identical to its counterpart in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.

All-Star Mode can be played with two players together. Like in ''Super Smash Bros.

[[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.
There are three playable minigames in Stadium mode: {{iw|smashwiki|Home-Run Contest}}, where the player has to hit {{iw|smashwiki|Sandbag}} as far as possible, in addition to being able to compete against two to four players; {{iw|smashwiki|Target Blast}}, in which one to four players earns points and rewards from destroying targets in one of three stages; and {{iw|smashwiki|Multi-Man Smash}}, in which the player has to fight a certain number of opponents.

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]].
The Vault allows the following: looking at and buying {{iw|smashwiki|Trophy|Trophies}}; viewing either {{iw|smashwiki|Records}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Tips}}, or {{iw|smashwiki|Replay}}s; listening to sound effects and music from {{iw|smashwiki|My Music}}, which also allows players to change the frequency of each song playing in a stage; viewing promotional {{iw|smashwiki|List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers|trailers}}; and play {{iw|smashwiki|Masterpieces}}.

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 a 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"/>
There are a total of 743 trophies in the Wii U version. The self-explanatory {{iw|smashwiki|Trophy Shop}} returns from the Nintendo 3DS version.

==Online Play==
==Online Play==
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.
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Online play}}
 
Players from around the world were able to compete in matches. In {{iw|smashwiki|With Friends}}, players can customize the rules to their liking, and voice chat is available between matches.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct"/> {{iw|smashwiki|With Anyone}} had two sub-modes: {{iw|smashwiki|For Fun}}, in which fighters battled on a randomly selected stage with all items turned on, and {{iw|smashwiki|For Glory}} allowed players to only compete on {{iw|smashwiki|Ω form}}s of stages with no items on. Both modes allowed playables to do either Smash or Team Smash matches. There was a {{iw|smashwiki|conquest}} system where winning players would have points applied to their fighter's score; a few days later, the game would announce a fighter, and whoever won with that fighter would receive gold. {{iw|smashwiki|Spectator Mode}} allowed players to either view matches and bet gold on a winner, watch {{iw|smashwiki|replay}}s of other matches, and to see which other players are only. The game's ranking system, {{iw|smashwiki|Global Smash Power}}, was recorded for each of the various single-player modes, and the number indicated how many players had been outranked by the player.
Conquest pits 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.
 
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.

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]], [[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.
There are 58 playable characters in total, 21 of whom are {{iw|smashwiki|Fighter#Newcomers and veterans|newcomers}} and the other 37 returning from at least one previous entry from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Of the playable character roster, 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. Seven of the fighters are downloadable content,<ref>{{cite|url=www.smashbros.com/wiiu-3ds/us/dlc|title=''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'': Downloadable Content Info|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote=The very last fighter bundle brings all seven DLC fighters together!}}</ref> although none are from the ''Super Mario'' franchise.


[[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="Mewtwo free to Club Nintendo members who register both versions">[http://club2.nintendo.com/smash-promo/ Super Smash Bros Offer]</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">[https://twitter.com/nintendoeurope/status/535440807214743552 Nintendo of Europe on Twitter: 'Mewtwo will be available to purchase later in #SmashBros, for those who don't register both versions.']</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 ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII}}'', [[Corrin]] from ''Fire Emblem Fates'', and [[Bayonetta]] from the ''{{wp|Bayonetta}}'' series. DLC characters do not have any custom special moves or any unique Palutena's Guidance conversations.
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. Some characters, notably {{iw|smashwiki|Ice Climbers}} had been excluded because technical restrictions made it not possible to include them in the Nintendo 3DS release, which sought to have all of the same fighters as the Wii U version.<ref>{{cite|url=sourcegaming.info/2017/11/16/ice-climber-expose|title=All About the Ice Climbers in Smash for 3DS / Smash for Wii U|date=November 16, 2017|publisher=Source Gaming|language=en|accessdate=November 11, 2024}}</ref>


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]].
''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' has a total of 55 {{iw|smashwiki|stage}}s, with 21 returning and 34 being new. 41 of the stages are accessible at any time, 5 have to be unlocked, 9 are downloadable content. Not every stage is the same as in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' since some are based on games released on home consoles. Thirteen stages are in both versions, including every downloadable stage except {{iw|smashwiki|Miiverse}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Pirate Ship}}. All stages have an {{iw|smashwiki|Ω form|Omega (Ω) form}}, in which fighters battle on only a large, flat platform, and the player can press {{button|wiiu|X}} to select it. The {{iw|smashwiki|My Music}} feature is also selectable from the stage select screen by pressing {{button|wiiu|Y}}.


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.
 
Stages listed in ''italics'' are unlockable.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the Wii U version of the fourth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series. It was developed by Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco Games.[4] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was developed with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS simultaneously, but the latter had released first due to being completed earlier. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U received both a physical and digital release, with the latter requiring 15,700 MB (about 15.3 GB) of memory to be installed. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has no longer been accessible as a digital download since March 27, 2023, when the Nintendo eShop closed.[5] A follow-up title for the Nintendo Switch, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was released four years after Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on December 7, 2018.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was compatible with Nintendo Network, up until the online serivce had been discontinued on April 8, 2024.[6][7] Any downloadable content bought by players at the time can still be redownloaded by them.

Gameplay[edit]

Main menu.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has all of the same playable fighters as in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Like the transition between each game of the Super Smash Bros. series, the moves and animations of some characters in both games were changed. The graphics are bolder and brighter than in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so the characters lack realistic details.

Some mechanics in the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions were retained from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, most notably Final Smashes, but also Footstool Jumps. However, some mechanics were removed, such as tripping.[8] There is the returning Smash mode, including its rule settings: Stamina, where fighters' health is measured in HP; Time, where battles end after a period of time; Stock, in which fighters have lives; and Coin Battle, in which the winner is determined by who has the most coins at the end.

The Wii U version does not make much use of the GamePad's touch screen during gameplay, but it can display in-battle stats, such as damage percentages.[9]

Customization/cross-connectivity[edit]

Main article: Equipment
The Character Settings menu, modifying Rosalina & Luma.

Players can customize a fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each, whilst the Mii Fighters and Palutena have custom special attacks that are not variants and are usable from the beginning. Applying equipment items to fighters increases attack, defense, or speed whilst decreasing other attributes. A fighter can have up to three items equipped, with some having additional side effects.[10] Custom characters cannot be used in "With Anyone" online.

Through Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the player can use their Nintendo 3DS as a controller for the Wii U version.[11] An application titled Smash Controller was released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on June 14, 2015, giving players another method to use the Nintendo 3DS as a controller.[12]

Exclusive modes[edit]

8-Player Smash[edit]

SmashWiki article: 8-Player Smash
8-Player-Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
An 8-Player Smash on Mario Galaxy

The most prominent feature is 8-Player Smash, allowing up to eight players to battle. Up to four teams are allowed, and yellow is a team color unique to the game. Most stages are restricted in 8-Player Smash when five to eight are playing. Stage incompatibility has shown to be mostly arbitrary, with some featuring 8-Player spawn points.[13]

Smash Tour[edit]

SmashWiki article: Smash Tour
Smash Tour Mode in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The normal-sized Smash Tour board

Smash Tour is a Wii U-exclusive board game mode. Gameplay can take place on either a small, normal-sized, or a big board, anywhere between 15 to 25 turns. Each player controls a Mii, who has to hit a spinning wheel at the start of each turn. They can collect fighters along the path, which are used in battles with opponents, and items with varying effects, with some causing an event. Whenever two players walk on the same space, each one has to choose a fighter to participate in a Smash battle, and the winner receives a a reward. Fighters can have their stats boosted from checkpoints around the board. When all turns are over, players fight in a Stock match using their stat boosts, and their stock matches how many fighters they have collected.[9]

Special Orders[edit]

SmashWiki article: Special Orders
Master Orders
Master Orders

In Special Orders, the player has the choice of playing either "Master Orders" or "Crazy Orders", featuring challenges made by Master Hand and Crazy Hand, respectively. Master Orders involves purchasing tickets to have only one chance at completing one of three challenges presented, and the rewards for clearing the challenges depends on the difficulty. Crazy Orders involves either paying 5,000 gold or using a pass to gain rewards from playing in challenges within a set time limit, followed by a fight against Crazy Hand. Whenever the player loses, they also lose some of their rewards.[9]

Events[edit]

SmashWiki article: Event match
Events

Events are battles that involve clearing a unique objective, involving either one or two players. It is another mode that returns from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Events are arranged in a grid, which extends as the player completes the events, unlocking more to play. Rewards such as gold or trophies can be obtained by completing an event.[9]

Masterpieces[edit]

SmashWiki article: Masterpieces
Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The Masterpiece selection screen in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Masterpieces is a feature in the Vault where short demos of past Nintendo games can be played for only a few minutes. The mode is also in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, except with different game demos. If the game was released on the Wii U Nintendo eShop, the mode allowed the player to purchase the full title. The Masterpieces are listed below:

Classic[edit]

SmashWiki article: Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)
Classic Mode in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The board in Classic Mode

The game has its own Classic Mode, which supports one or two players. It retains the intensity system from the Nintendo 3DS version, in which gold can be spent to increase the intensity. If the player uses a continue, the intensity lowers by .5, unless the intensity is already at 2.0 or lower, and they lose rewards. On the board, the player has to move a token of their fighter to the group of fighters they want to battle, some of which are an 8-Player Smash. One of the opponents has the title of "rival," which means that opponent requires more effort to defeat. A battle sometimes has an unexpected intruder, a fighter who is either metallic or giant. Defeating certain opponents or groups earns the player certain rewards, such as gold or unlockables. Any opponent who is defeated by the player or their allies, who are recruited after defeating them, are shown inside the "Fighters Defeated" box.

There seven stages in total. The first three stages involve battling default opponents and the rival. In the fourth and fifth stages, the player battles another group of opponents, except they use their alternate costumes and may sometimes have custom special moves. The sixth stage is always the Fighting Mii Team. The seventh and final stage is a battle against Master Hand, as well as Crazy Hand in intensity 3.0 or higher, and sometimes even Master Core. Completing Classic Mode earns the player a trophy of their fighter.

All-Star[edit]

The All-Star rest area

All-Star Mode is nearly identical to its counterpart in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. 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. Upon completing the mode, the player earns a Final Smash trophy of their current character.

Target Blast

There are three playable minigames in Stadium mode: Home-Run Contest, where the player has to hit Sandbag as far as possible, in addition to being able to compete against two to four players; Target Blast, in which one to four players earns points and rewards from destroying targets in one of three stages; and Multi-Man Smash, in which the player has to fight a certain number of opponents.

Vault[edit]

The Vault allows the following: looking at and buying Trophies; viewing either Records, Tips, or Replays; listening to sound effects and music from My Music, which also allows players to change the frequency of each song playing in a stage; viewing promotional trailers; and play Masterpieces.

Trophies[edit]

Main article: List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

A hoard of trophies

There are a total of 743 trophies in the Wii U version. The self-explanatory Trophy Shop returns from the Nintendo 3DS version. There is also the single-player or two-player Trophy Rush mode. The player can pose and resize their Trophies on various backgrounds to take photographs of. The game exclusively has the Trophy Box, in which the player can fill boxes with trophies based on game series (such as Paper Mario) or specific games (such asSuper Mario Galaxy).[9]

Online Play[edit]

SmashWiki article: Online play

Players from around the world were able to compete in matches. In With Friends, players can customize the rules to their liking, and voice chat is available between matches.[9] With Anyone had two sub-modes: For Fun, in which fighters battled on a randomly selected stage with all items turned on, and For Glory allowed players to only compete on Ω forms of stages with no items on. Both modes allowed playables to do either Smash or Team Smash matches. There was a conquest system where winning players would have points applied to their fighter's score; a few days later, the game would announce a fighter, and whoever won with that fighter would receive gold. Spectator Mode allowed players to either view matches and bet gold on a winner, watch replays of other matches, and to see which other players are only. The game's ranking system, Global Smash Power, was recorded for each of the various single-player modes, and the number indicated how many players had been outranked by the player.

Playable characters[edit]

The full character select screen, including all downloadable characters.

There are 58 playable characters in total, 21 of whom are newcomers and the other 37 returning from at least one previous entry from the Super Smash Bros. series. Of the playable character roster, eleven originate from the Super Mario franchise and its spin-off series (eighteen if counting each of the Koopalings), with Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina & Luma, Dr. Mario, Bowser Jr., Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Yoshi, and Wario being playable. Seven of the fighters are downloadable content,[14] although none are from the Super Mario franchise.

Unlike the previous games in the series, with the removal of in-game transformations, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and Charizard are now standalone characters. Some characters, notably Ice Climbers had been excluded because technical restrictions made it not possible to include them in the Nintendo 3DS release, which sought to have all of the same fighters as the Wii U version.[15]

Default characters[edit]

As iconic as iconic gets, this gaming celebrity is known for saving the world from Bowser. He's got amazing jumping skills and makes use of a wide range of transformations. In his free time, he plays too many sports to count. In Smash Bros., he's a well-rounded fighter you can rely on. Say it with me: "It’s-a me, Mario!" Standard - Fireball
Side - Cape
Up - Super Jump Punch
Down - F.L.U.D.D.

Luigi recently celebrated his 30th anniversary with the Year of Luigi, but all that attention just made him even more shy and awkward. In Smash Bros., Luigi takes a lot of cues from his brother in fighting style, adding flair to moves like Super Jump Punch. His taunts, however, are truly unique. Standard - Fireball
Side - Green Missile
Up - Super Jump Punch
Down - Luigi Cyclone

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has received critical acclaim, praising its variety of modes and character selection.

Reviews
Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Griffin McElroy, Polygon 9.5/10 "Pound for pound, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has been the most fun I've had playing video games in 2014, and a well-polished crown jewel in the Wii U's library. I've spent dozens of hours Smashing roomfuls of friends into oblivion, grinding through events and hunting down unlockables — and, happily, I feel like I'm just getting started."
Daniel Starkey, GameSpot 9/10 "Poor internet functionality is, thankfully, a blight on an otherwise incredible game. Between the Masterpiece Collections, which are short demos of the classic games that inspired Smash Bros., the many fighters and stages, the deep character customization for fine-tuning your fighters to suit your play style, and the extensive screenshot editing tools, there's just so much to do. With the Wii U release, Smash Bros. has fully realized its goals. There's something here for nearly everyone--from young to old, from novice to expert--presented almost without compromise. Super Smash Bros. Wii U invites everyone to join in its undiluted, joyous celebration of the broad community that Nintendo has built over the past forty years."
Jose Otero, IGN 9.8/10 "Nearly every aspect of Smash Wii U seems fine-tuned not only to appeal to the nostalgia of long-time Nintendo fans, but also to be accessible to new players. Once they're hooked, it draws them in deeper with a set of great modes and tempting rewards. There's just so much here, and I've rarely seen a game with so many enjoyable and replayable ideas in a single package. Playing eight-player matches and classic four-player brawls are only the beginning, and I don't see a reason to stop playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for a long time."
