Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, together with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, is the fourth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It will be released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2014. It will be the first Super Smash Bros. title to be released on a Nintendo handheld. As with previous installments, characters from various Nintendo video games will do battle with each other. Non-Nintendo characters, such as Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog, will also be featured in the game. The Smash Ball item from Super Smash Bros. Brawl will return, allowing characters to perform unique and extremely powerful attacks.

This game will contain a mode called Smash Run, exclusive from the Wii U version of the game. The mode drops up to four players in a large "dungeon-like area", where the objective is to explore, defeat enemies, and open chests in order to obtain power ups before facing off against the other players. These enemies consist of characters from the previous Super Smash Bros. game's adventure mode, and other various Nintendo titles, such as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Kirby. This mode is meant to be similar to City Trial in Kirby Air Ride; as acknowledged by Masahiro Sakurai.
