Trivia

• This will be the first multi-platform Super Smash Bros. game.
  • It will also be the first handheld Super Smash Bros. game.
• This game was announced at E3 2011 but development didn't start until after the release of Kid Icarus Uprising in 2012 and no characters, stages or gameplay were shown until E3 2013 a full 2 years after the first announcement.
• This game will remove the tripping mechanic.
• Masahiro Sakurai stated that the game mechanics and speed will be a balance between Melee and Brawl.
• The 3DS and Wii U versions will have different stages: the 3DS having stages from handheld games, while the Wii U having stages from console games.
• The 3DS version will have some form of character customization.
• The 3DS and Wii U versions will not have cross-platform play due to the use of different stages in each version. However it would appear that the customizable character function can be transferred to/from each version.
