Gameplay

Players fight each other and computer-controlled fighters on stages with the objective of knocking opponents off. There are several modes with specific rule sets as well as mini-games. Classic Mode has the player choosing a character and going through a string of fights with standard rules. All-Star Mode is a continuous fight against all of the playable characters. New to the series and exclusive for the 3DS version is Smash Run. In it, the player is given five minutes to explore a large map and battle enemies from various Nintendo games. Defeating enemies causes them to drop power-ups to increase the player's stats. After the five minutes, the player fights against other players.

Demo

On September 9, 2014, a demo version of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was released on the Nintendo eShop. On September 12, 2014, Nintendo of America sent Club Nintendo members who had achieved Platinum status during the 2013-2014 year and registered a Nintendo 3DS system or software an email containing four download codes for a special unlimited use demo of the game; the demo codes expired September 19. The demo was later released to all users over the Nintendo eShop on September 19. The public version of the demo has 30 uses. The demo requires 1044 blocks to download.

The demo allows players to play Smash matches both alone over Local Play. Players can only select Mario, Link, Pikachu, Villager, or Mega Man (with three alternate costumes each) and battle on Battlefield in both normal and "Omega" variations in two minute Time matches (the match settings cannot be changed). A select number of items appear during play on standard Battlefield. Players can also access the Tips menu.
