Template:Infobox

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the fifth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, and was developed by Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco Games.[1] While this game and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS were developed simulataneously, the Nintendo 3DS version launched earlier due to its earlier completion of development.

Gameplay

Template:MoreImages 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 Smashes and Footstool Jumping make a return, while the "tripping" mechanic has been removed[2]. 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 previous entries, with the overall colors being bolder and brighter and many elements having been redone to stand out more.

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.[3] 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.[3]

Customization/cross-connectivity

Main article: Equipment

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. Up to three items can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter.[4]

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[5].

8-Player Smash

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. 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.[3]

Smash Tour

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. 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.[3]

Games & More

Special Orders

In Special Orders, the player has the choice of playing either "Master Orders" or "Crazy Orders", referring to Master Hand and Crazy Hand[6]. 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 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.[3]

Events

Events return exclusively in the Wii U version of the game, 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.[3]

Classic

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.

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'll become. 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.

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 7 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'll 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 he/she must KO 20 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.

Level Intensity Wager Final Battle
Effortless 0.0 to 0.9 55 to 100 Master Hand
Easy 1.0 to 1.9 5 to 50 Master Hand
Standard 2.0 to 2.9 0 to 72 Master Hand
Tougher 3.0 to 3.9 80 to 188 Master Hand and Crazy Hand
Challenging 4.0 to 4.9 200 to 335 Master Hand and Crazy Hand
Heatin' Up 5.0 to 5.9 350 to 530 Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and Master Core (5.1 or higher) (Master Edges, Master Shadow)
Extra Spicy 6.0 to 6.9 550 to 775 Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and Master Core (Master Beast, Master Edges, Master Shadow)
Infernal 7.0 to 7.9 800 to 1205 Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and Master Core (Master Giant, Master Beast, Master Edges, Master Shadow)
White Hot 8.0 to 8.9 1250 to 2105 Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and Master Core (Master Giant, Master Beast, Master Edges, Master Shadow, Master Fortress (Solo only))
Nothing Harder! 9.0 2200 Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and Master Core (Master Giant, Master Beast, Master Edges, Master Shadow, Master Fortress (Solo only))

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 reversed fighting order; in the beginning, players face the characters that debuted first, later finishing with the oldest fighters in the game.[3]

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, as well as play Masterpieces.

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

There are a total of 716 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).[3]

Masterpieces

Masterpieces from Super Smash Bros. Brawl returns as a feature exclusively in the Wii U installment. It offers many 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:

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.[3] 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 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.

Playable characters

This article is about an upcoming downloadable character. Editors must cite sources for all contributions to this article. Edits that do not follow this standard may be reverted without notice.
Do not upload any leaked images or media files before this downloadable character is released. Per our policy, any such files will be immediately deleted.

This installment features a total of 49 playable characters, counting the three types of Mii Fighter as one character. These consist of 34 veterans and 15 newcomers. Certain characters from 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 previous games in the series, with the removal of in-game transformations, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and Charizard are now standalone characters.

Mewtwo has been confirmed to return 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.[7] It will release as a paid download later on for those who did not register both versions.[8] It is the only DLC character confirmed so far.

Greninja[31] The Pokémon series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

It has been requested that this article be rewritten. Reason: the writing is informal and substandard (tagged on 16:52, 16 December 2014 (EST))

Both versions have different stages with a few exceptions. The Nintendo 3DS version features 34 stages, while there is 47 for the Wii U version, making a total of 81 stages between both. The Wii U version mostly features stages based on games released on home consoles, while the 3DS version mostly features stages based on games released on handheld systems.[2] In the Nintendo 3DS version, each stage has only two tracks that can play, whereas the Wii U version has a comprehensive list similar to My Music from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Additionally, players can toggle between playing on "Final Destination" variations of most 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.
