It’s a good way to get a handle on each fighter’s unique moveset and figure out what types of opponents - airborne ones, swordfighters or gun-toting long range specialists - they are strong against. We can see players who are trying to master characters, or just fiddle around with fighters they’re more unfamiliar with, using this mode as a testing ground. In our time with Smash Run mode, we found it to be a solidly satisfying single-player campaign addition to Smash Bros. This will change from Smash Run to Smash Run. For example, it could be the standard game of knocking others off the stage as many times as possible within a time limit, or it could be a one-hit death match with all fighters beginning at 300 percent damage.

Players face off against three computer-chosen opponents under certain conditions.

Smash Runs culminate in one last challenge: your typical four-on-four Super Smash battle. Different power-ups - boots for hit strength, wings to extend air time, tiny boxing gloves and hammers, for example - appear throughout each level. The mode gives players an open environment packed with opponents to take down, and the goal is to defeat as many enemies as possible within a five-minute limit, blasting through different stages and taking on enemies pulled from Pokemon, Mario, Donkey Kong and Kid Icarus. What the 3DS version does have going for it is Smash Run, a time trial mode inspired by the City Trial Mode from 2003 GameCube racing game Kirby Air Ride. Naturally, the graphics aren’t as pretty as those in its Wii U counterpart, and players can toggle black outlines around the characters on and off, which makes the game feel a little more old school but doesn’t do much for visibility. on 3DS makes it feel a little bit like an afterthought. There's novelty of being able to carry Nintendo’s famous brawler wherever you go, but the visual presentation of Super Smash Bros.
