Handheld Multiplayer

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will feature Smash Run, a multiplayer mode unique to the platform, director Masahiro Sakurai revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct.

Smash Run pits four players against each other in a sprawling dungeon full of randomized enemies, including Goombas, Shy Guys, and other notable Nintendo villains, in a battle to collect stat-boosting power-ups as quickly as possible. Treasure chests and enemies can improve your speed, jump, strength, defense, special move effectiveness, and more, which comes into play after the Smash Run timer runs out.

After five minutes of exploration, 2-4 players, local or online, go head-to-head in a standard Smash Battle using their newly acquired stats. Those who’ve collected more bonuses improve their chances of winning. Additionally, you can equip items ahead of each Smash Run battle to gain an edge.

Yoshi!
 

Smash Bros. series creator Masahiro Sakura announced that Yoshi would return as a playable character in the upcoming installments for Wii U and 3DS.

Yoshi is the 27th playable brawler added to the Smash Bros. roster, and he has been a part of the series since the Nintendo 64 original.

No Character Transformation

Today during a Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed that character transformations would be removed from the upcoming 3DS, Wii U installment. Instead, Zero Suit Samus and Sheik would join the roster as separate playable characters.

“All characters who used to change forms during a match will no longer change, “ series creator Masahiro Sakurai revealed. “Instead, you’ll be able to concentrate on a single move set for the entire fight.”

Zero Suit Samus and Sheik are the 25th and 26th characters added to the Smash Bros. roster. Sakurai said that, in Brawl, Zero Suit Samus was designed with slightly less physical strength, so he needed to find ways to make her stronger. She can be seen wearing a pair of jet boots in the game footage shown during the presentation, and the development team has added two new special moves for Sheik as well.

Other Multiplayer
 

In a Nintendo Direct presentation today, director Masahiro Sakurai detailed how Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will handle multiplayer.

Players will be able to play online with friends as well as other users in a handful of different multiplayer modes. Online multiplayer without friends comes in two distinct forms: “For Fun” and “For Glory.”

For Fun mode only records players’ wins, pits opponents against each other in random stages (excluding Final Destination), and includes all items. For Glory, on the other hand, levels the playing field for competitive players by removing items entirely, and setting every match on a Final Destination version of certain levels. Wins and losses are both tracked in your For Glory record.
With friends, locally or online, you’ll be able to play with custom rules.
