Didn't spend as much time on this entry as with the others, but it was a serviceable entry, I think.

Played the heck out of this one on the Wii U. Smash is always a good time.

I couldn't play more than an hour. The controls felt too awkward for me, I'd much rather use a controller.

Hi guys, do you recommend Smash Bros for 3DS or not? I'm interested, but I found it only at 30€, so I will buy it only if it merits.

Been playing a lot of Smash on 3DS to sate the appetite for Ultimate which has been sitting under the Christmas. Surprisingly, the online isn't as bad as I remember it being back in 2014.

Getting prepared for Ultimate I'm going to play through every stage in order with every character. Should be a nice final hurrah. I might even find my new main. You never know...

I got really hyped after the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate unveiling and decided to bust out Smash for my 3DS only to discover I hadn't unlocked all the fighters on it yet (for shame, I know). So now that I added Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt Dog, all the fighters are available, as they should be.

Still can't believe we got this game on this tiny handheld.

Don't play this too much anymore, only when my cousin comes around. I wish it wasn't so laggy online because then I'd actually play online. Such a shame.

the things this game has done for me spiritually, emotionally, and the amount of friends made and friends made salty, make smash the best multiplayer game of all time for me. would love to smash with any fellow grouvee players!

First play through information is for the 3DS version. Second play through info is for the Wii U version. The criteria I used to determine the "finish" date is the day I finished unlocking all the characters.
