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), also known as Super Smash Bros. 4 unofficially, are respectively the fourth and fifth games in the Super Smash Bros. series, both released in 2014. Though they have identical character rosters and mechanics, they differ in the available stages and modes, and are officially considered to be separate games.[1] 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 with high-definition graphics.

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 paid downloadable content 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's moveset. Additionally, both characters gain new alternate outfits. As in the Japanese version of Brawl, a five-minute timed demo of EarthBound also appears as a Masterpiece, this time playable in all regions.

EarthBound representation

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.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Stages

Magicant, as it appears in the game.

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:

Smash Run

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

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

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.
