Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (often shortened to Smash 4 or Sm4sh) was released worldwide on October 3rd, 2014. Although it never reached the competitive potential of its Wii U counterpart, the game still sold well due to its novel portability. For players who enjoy playing Super Smash Bros. on the go, there are several unlockables for you to obtain!

Characters

Upon the release of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the character selection screen looked decent. Now the DLC fighters occupy their own page, which… does not look decent. In addition to the downloadable fighters, though, there are a few other characters to unlock.

• Ness is unlocked by clearing Classic Mode on any difficulty. Alternatively, you can play 10 versus matches.
• Falco is unlocked by clearing Classic Mode without using any continues. Alternatively, you can play 20 versus matches.
• Wario is unlocked by completing 100-Man Smash. Alternatively, you can play 30 versus matches.
• Lucina is unlocked by clearing Classic Mode as Marth without using any continues. Alternatively, you can play 40 versus matches.

Stages

There aren’t as many unlockable stages here as there were in Brawl, but they’re good ones nonetheless. Please note that the Duck Hunt stage was added in a free update and doesn’t need to be unlocked.

Features

Finally, an unlockable feature with doable criteria! This time around, it’s the More Rules menu, which allows you to toggle things like Team Attack and the Pause button.

• More Rules are unlocked by getting 200 KOs in Versus matches.
