Assist Trophies
Jeff reprises his role of being an assist trophy, while Starman appears as a new Assist Trophy. Jeff fires bottle rockets at enemies as before, while Starman shoots PK Beam at fighters and teleports around the stage.

Items
Like before, the Franklin Badge and Mr. Saturn return as items with the same functions as the preceding games.

Amiibo
A Ness amiibo figure was released on May 29th, 2015. In addition to Ness, a Lucas amiibo was released on December 17 in Japan, and January 22, 2016 in the U.S.

Stages
appears as an original stage, being the only stage from the series in the game. The stage is based on from EarthBound Beginnings.

Flying Man will occasionally appear and help the player who touches him first by attacking the other fighters. When defeated, a grave appears near their house - and only a maximum of five can appear in a single battle, like both the games in which they appear.

Five other objects or characters sometimes appear as platforms: Mobile Sprout, Dungeon Man, the Sky Runner, iron octopus statues (appearing as iron pencil statues in the English version of EarthBound ), and giant tomatoes seen in the EarthBound version of Magicant.

Additionally, the left part of the sky will often "rip open" to reveal scenes from EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings including:
 * Ninten leaving his house with his dog, Mick
 * Ninten finding Lloyd in a trash can
 * Ness and Paula walking around Threed during the zombie invasion
 * Ness and his party in Lumine Hall - the text reads "I'm Ness..."
 * Ness and his party entering the Phase Distorter in Saturn Valley

Smash Run
In this adventure mode, Starman appears as an enemy along with the Psycho Car (Named "Devil Car") from EarthBound Beginnings.

Stages
The Onett stage comes back as now the only stage from the series, as the New Pork City stage was removed.

Smash Tour
Mr. Saturn, the Franklin Badge, Flying Man, Porky, and the Ultimate Chimera all appear as usable items in this board game mode.

Masterpieces
A 5 minute demo version of Earthbound is unlocked when a score of over 1969 ft. is achieved in Home-Run Contest mode.

Music
Three new remixes were made for the games: Magicant/Eight Melodies, Smiles and Tears, and Onett/Winters Theme. Other remixes that return:
 * Onett - reverted to the Melee version and renamed from "Mother"
 * Pollyanna (I Believe in You) - renamed from "Mother 2"
 * Snowman
 * Mother 3 Love Theme
 * Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise
 * Porky's Theme

Trivia

 * Oddly any EarthBound reference that was changed in localization in their original games was left unchanged in this game, notably the Psycho Car and Pencil Statue were left as the Devil Car and Octopus Statue respectively.
 * This is the first Super Smash Bros. game to have a stage based on a location from EarthBound Beginnings.
 * Additionally the 3DS version is the last game to introduce a new EarthBound series stage.
