Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U lit: Great Melee Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U), commonly abbreviated as Super Smash Bros. 4, SSB4, or Smash 4, are the fourth and fifth installments of the Super Smash Bros. series. Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS is the first Super Smash Bros. game on a handheld system. Like the previous installment, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Fire Emblem series gained more representation in the series, adding three newcomers, bringing back Roy who was absent in Brawl, and introducing several new stages.

Marth
"The Legendary Hero-King"

- Marth's Alias on Punch-Out!! stage. Marth was confirmed to return in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U on November 7, 2013. Marth's appearance differs in this game than in previous Smash games as he now appears in the redesign he received in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. Unlike the previous entries, Marth is playable from the start and does not have to be unlocked.

Ike
"The Radiant Hero"

- Ike's Alias on Punch-Out!! stage. Ike was confirmed to return for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U on May 22, 2014. Like Marth, Ike's outfit is different than it was in Brawl; instead appearing in his Hero design from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. As a new aesthetic, any of Ike's moves involving fire will be blue rather than red, matching his title as the "Hero of Blue Flames."

Roy
"The Young Lion"

- Roy's Aliases on Punch-Out!! stage. Roy was leaked on June 13, 2015 and officially revealed and released on June 14, 2015 for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U as a DLC character. Like the other Fire Emblem veterans in the series, Roy received a redesign in both versions, however his was not based on any of his previous appearances, meaning that Roy is the only one to receive a completely original design for the game. For the most part, Roy remains largely the same as he did in Melee with a few different moves to make himself different from Marth.

Robin
"The Tactician Magician"

- Robin's Alias on Punch-Out!! stage. The Avatar of Awakening, under their default name Robin, was confirmed on July 14, 2014 as a newcomer for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U with Lucina. Both genders of Robin are playable and their default weapon is a Levin Sword, which is activated by using smash attacks. Alluding to the Weapon Durability mechanic in the Fire Emblem series, their Levin Sword will break after a certain amount of attacks resulting in Robin wielding a Bronze Sword until the Levin Sword regenerates. Their Special moves revolve around numerous tomes from Awakening and changes depending on the special used. Like the Levin Sword, tomes will eventually break after a certain amount of uses.

Lucina
"Warrior from a Doomed Future"

- Lucina's Alias on Punch-Out!! stage. Lucina was confirmed on July 14, 2014 as a newcomer for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U with Robin. According to Masahiro Sakura, Lucina was originally intended to be an alternate costume for Marth, but was given her own spot in the roster with minor differences. Her version of the Falchion delivers equal power no matter which part of the sword hits, lacking Marth's stronger tip attacks or Roy's hilt attacks. She can also don her mask when she was disguised as Marth in one of her taunts. Lucina is the only Fire Emblem representative that is required to be unlocked in the 3DS and Wii U versions.

Corrin
"Blood of Dragons"

- Corrin's Alias on Punch-Out!! stage.

The Avatar of Fates, under their default name Corrin, was confirmed on December 15, 2015 and released on February 3rd, 2016 as a DLC newcomer for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U. Both genders of Corrin are playable and their default weapon is Yato in its Omega form. They retain many aspects of the Nohr Prince/Princess class including the ability to shift parts of their body or their entire body into their dragon form through usage of their Dragon Fang ability.

Chrom
Chrom was shown during the July 14th, 2014 newcomer trailer for Robin and Lucina. Chrom exists in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U, but only in Robin's Final Smash and even has the Critical Cut-In like in Fire Emblem Awakening. He makes a special cameo appearance during a Palutena's Guidance conversation when Pit faces Robin on Palutena's Temple, speaking with Pit, Palutena, and Viridi on Robin's strengths. He also sometimes appears in one of Robin's randomly selected victory poses at the results screen after a match.

Later, on July 31, 2015, a Mii Swordfighter outfit based on Chrom, wielding the Falchion, was added as paid DLC.

Lyndis
Lyndis was confirmed on April 8, 2014 to return in Super Smash Bros as an Assist Trophy once more. Her assist works exactly the same as it did in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Upon appearing, Lyn charges up her Mani Katti and vanishes, appearing beside an enemy to perform what resembles her critical attack from The Blazing Blade. In Brawl, the Assist Trophy of Lyn is known for its high damage rating, knock back, and accuracy. Also, when she appears she sometimes says one of Ike's taunts, "Prepare yourself" but usually says "I'll handle this".

Black Knight
An Mii Swordfighter outfit based on the Black Knight from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn was added as paid DLC on July 31, 2015. The outfit comes complete with the Alondite sword.

3DS Version
Arena Ferox stage is featured in the 3DS version and is the only Fire Emblem stage in the game. The Stage's floor has the exact same pattern as its namesake map and the large crowd seen in the background during a battle also appear on the map. The stage starts out as a flat stage with no features. This version is also the set-up for the Omega/Final Destination version of the stage. After a few seconds, the stage will change into one of 4 different variations with special features for each.
 * Arena Ferox

Wii U Version
The Colosseum stage is featured in the Wii U version. It pays homage to many of the past Arena features in previous Fire Emblem titles. The stage starts off as a flat stage with no elevated platforms and characters can walk off screen. At certain times during a fight, platforms will raise from the ground creating elevated platforms to fight from. The platform heights and amount of platforms raised varies.

Castle Siege returns as a stage for the Wii U Version. It remains largely unchanged from the Brawl version.

Trivia

 * Before release, there were supposed to be a total of 686 Trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as indicated by the ESRB leaked videos and pictures. However in all the versions released worldwide, only 685 Trophies were present upon relase. A Tharja Trophy was seen among the Trophies sent to the ESRB and was the only one from the leak that is not present in the game, indicating that her Trophy was removed to avoid a higher rating for the game.
 * Like Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has Monsho no Nazo as one of its Masterpieces that a player may demo and buy from the Virtual Console if they wish. However, this feature is only present in the Japanese version of the game since the game was never released outside of Japan.
 * Fire Emblem is the only series that has more trophies in the 3DS version than in the Wii U version.
 * Outside of fighter trophies and Chrom's trophy, all of the trophies in the Wii U version appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as well.
 * The Fire Emblem franchise has the most amount of newcomers from a series to be added in the Super Smash Bros. series with three in total.
 * It is also the only Nintendo owned franchise to receive a DLC newcomer and two DLC characters total.
