Limited in scope, but that actually gives it a decent amount of purpose. This is immediately obvious with its transportable nature - less impressive now with Smash Ultimate, but unique at the time. But there's other stuff too. Smash Run, while perhaps not as reliably fun as City Trial, is still a neat experiment and good for a couple runs. The lower technical capabilities meant the game would need to experiment with its stages, lending itself to personal favorites like Magicant, Unova Pokémon League, and Arena Ferox. Both "Smash 4" games sharing development assets means that Smash for Wii U is less ambitious as a result, but Smash for 3DS's ability to replicate the Wii U title's physics and gameplay is all the more impressive.
I think I'm generally okay with leaving Smash 4 in the past (revisiting it, I was shocked at how little there was to it), but if I tripped and had to play one of them, I'd rather this game than the Wii U one.

Using your 3DS as a controller for the Wii U version was wild
Smash run is kino and the game plays surprisingly well on 3DS.
The combination of the camera mode and zero suit samus was absolutely fantastic to me when I was 12. I have no shame
portable mediocrity
smash on 3ds does its job very well. it's smash on the go. that is really all you need! unfortunately, it's smash 4 on the go. that's when things get dicey
smash 4 in general is kind of a big mess, a big contributor to why it's the worst one. so many ideas are thrown at you, with only a couple MAYBE sticking, this version being no different. smash run is a pretty good time, but a lack of customization holds it back by an extreme amount. played it for hours and hours on end as a kid, did everything i wanted to (which is why it's marked as completed), but looking at it now, i realized there was always something missing

I think it was really cool how Nintendo and Sakurai were able to fit this experience onto the 3DS, with all of the characters and different stages. However, the controls are pretty difficult to get used to which made it kind of hard to have fun at times.
Better than Wii U because of Smash Run and Pac-Maze alone.
BRING BACK SMASH RUN
Why did they make content in the historic console-only franchise exclusive to the 3ds? Smash Wii U was openly made a worse game just so this one could exist.
mehhh
I thought I was cracked at this. I enjoyed this version a lot since I only had a 3DS at the time. I got destroyed when I went online, though. Still loved the hell out of smash.
It's still a Smash Bros. game, I still like it. But I don't know, compared to Brawl, it has that missing something. I'll figure it out soon.
I watched the smash documentary not long before this came out. After that I was so smash pilled that I joined a dumpster fire of a community full of controversy and drama.
I have like 600hrs on this game for no reason
This game was heat before smash got a better portable game
This game had good singleplayer and I had decent fun with it. But when I had to choose between this game or U, I ultimately choose U. It had nice graphics and all, but it didn't felt as good as U and all in all I think they should've combined U and 3DS.
dont ask how many hours i have on this game bro
I used to record king dedede gameplay of smash 3ds in 2018
my setup involved a tripod placed on top of a plate in front of my 3ds
My peak was 13 views

The amount of time I spent playing this on bus rides was insane
minus one star for breaking my circle pad

An acceptable way to play smash on-the-go a decade ago. still somewhat fun but the Wii U version is better.
Sale Smashventura.
It's a lot of fun, one of the better road-trip games for the DS line.
This and Wii U sadly get overshadowed by some of the more popular Smash entries. But this plays surprisingly well on 3ds and is honestly so much fun. Most of the content is the same, but Smash Run specifically elevates this so much. This game was also so monumental to me when it came out. Started playing again to unlock all custom moves, so hopefully i can accomplish that soon!
EDIT: Just unlocked all custom moves and mii hats by grinding Smash Run and it was so much fun. Glad I've finally 100% essentially everything in the game. Can’t wait to come back to the game and just play. Love this entry.

Felt sloppy compared to other releases, but still pretty great
good game, but not the best smash bros game. it was probably really cool while it was the only handheld smash bros, but now that ultimate exists, this game just can't meassure up to it
continuously underrated. they actually made classic mode fun
Smash Run carried.

It’s good
It’s a decent game to have in your pocket when out doing things and you get stuck waiting, but very repetitive and not something you would play in leisure time. One of the best game modes ever for the entire series is stuck on this version exclusively and that’s this company’s biggest crime.
I had quite a bit of fun playing the game casually
