Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

Super Smash Bros For Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズ For 3DS Wii U Great Fray Smash Brothers For 3DS and Wii U) and unofficially known as Super Smash Bros. 4 are the fourth and fifth games in the Super Smash Bros. series, both released in 2014. Although many fans consider them to be the same game, Masahiro Sakurai confirmed the 3DS version is the fourth installment and the Wii U version is the fifth installment. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the first game in the series for a handheld system; while Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first to be in HD.

Ness returns as a playable character in both games, being an unlockable character in the 3DS version, and a default character in the Wii U version. Lucas returns from Brawl, as a downloadable character released on June 14th, 2015. With the addition of customizable characters, Ness gains new possible special moves, some of them, like PK Freeze, coming directly from Lucas' moveset. Additionally, both characters gain new alternate outfits. A demo of EarthBound also appears as a Masterpiece.

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. Nintendo has also stated plans to make a Lucas amiibo that will be released on December 17 in Japan, and January 22, 2016 in the U.S.

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