Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the joint fourth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is a Nintendo 3DS title, being the first installment for a handheld game console, that was first released in Japan in September 2014 and then in North America, Europe, and Australia in October 2014. The game's paired title, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, was released shortly after, in November 2014.

As with any Super Smash Bros. title, the premise involves characters from various Nintendo franchises battling one another. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS retains some elements from the previous title, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, such as the third-party characters Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake while also adding a few more to the roster, such as Mega Man and Pac-Man. The game also retains the Smash Ball item, which allows a fighter to use their signature powerful attack known as a Final Smash.

Smash Run
This game contains a mode called Smash Run, exclusive to the 3DS 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 species from Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary and other various Nintendo titles, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and Kirby. This mode is meant to be similar to City Trial in Kirby Air Ride, as acknowledged by Masahiro Sakurai.
