The game contains Smash attacks, like previous Smash Bros. games. There is a new attack, the Final Smash. The Final Smash is done by collecting an Orb type power up. Every Character has a different Final Smash, but they are all very powerful.

There is also Wi-Fi, which of course is a plus. There is also a new mode, called Spectator mode. If you aren't an adept player, you can watch others battles. This would be great for finding out combos, strategies, etc.

Nintendo has also decided to include some of the old stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

There are also events included. You can set difficulty, and it has pictures to help you better understand all of the assignments. If you don't know what events are, they are mini-game type battles with objectives.

There are also these new items called assist trophies. Basically, you pick one up, throw it, and one of many characters comes out and helps you defeat other players. All of the characters that can come out in assist trophies are:
  • Samurai Goroh
  • Dr. Wright
  • Knuckle Joe
  • Devil
  • Andross
  • Lyn
  • Mr. Ressetti
  • Excitebike
  • Little Mac
  • Gray Fox
  • Saki Amamiya
  • Stafy
  • Waluigi
  • Metroid
  • Tingle
  • Kat & Ana
  • Jeff
  • Helirin
  • Jill & Drill Dozer
  • Nintendogs
  • Lakitu
  • Hammer Bro
Also, for the first time, Nintendo has included a stage builder! This is going to be awesome, so many possibilities.
