|image=SSB4 Super Mario Bros. U.jpg|text=Pic of the day. Here's a new Wii U stage, [[Mushroom Kingdom U]]! It brings to life the worlds of [[Mario (universe)|New Super Mario Bros. U]].
|reply=When Kamek casts a spell, the stage transforms drastically! That said, this is not what you would call a moving stage…<br>…By the way, this stage will be playable in the demo version of the game for [[E3]], a game expo that starts on June 10 in Los Angeles.
|replyimage=SSB4 Super Mario Bros. U-2.jpg
|notes=Confirms a new stage for the Wii U version based on ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', with the aesthetic of that game's first world, {{s|supermariowiki|Acorn Plains}}. Kamek, a recurring ''Mario'' antagonist, will be able to transform the stage into at least one variant, with the known one being based on the sixth world in ''NSMBU'', {{s|supermariowiki|Rock-Candy Mines}}.

|image=SSB4 Boomerang Item.jpg|text=Pic of the day. Here's a new item that we've thrown in--the [[Boomerang (item)|boomerang]]. As you'd guess, it'll fly back into your hands after you throw it, and if you keep catching it, its attack power grows with each throw! However, opponents can nab the boomerang out of the air, so it might be an easier item to use in Smash Run.
|notes=Gives details on how the new Boomerang item works.

|image=Meloetta SSB4.jpg|text=Pic of the day. Remember the video that introduced {{SSB4|Greninja}} joining the battle? Every Pokémon that appeared in that video will make some kind of appearance in Super Smash Bros! By the way, here's one of the Pokémon that didn't make an appearance in that video--[[Meloetta]]. Its vocal attacks reflect off land forms, so they'll be especially effective in a closed environment.
|notes=Confirms that every Pokémon in Greninja's reveal trailer will appear in the new games, though in what capacity they will appear is not stated. Whether they will appear as [[Poké Ball]] or [[Master Ball]] assist characters or will simply appear as collectibles like [[trophy|trophies]] was left ambiguous. Known Pokémon that appeared in that trailer that have not been seen in other footage or screenshots are [[Gardevoir]], [[Giratina]], [[Inkay]], [[Kyogre]], [[Oshawott]], [[Togepi]], [[Snivy]], [[Suicune]], [[Swirlix]], and [[Zoroark]]. Interestingly, Sakurai remarks that Meloetta wasn't shown in Greninja's debut trailer, when one in fact can be briefly seen among the summoned Pokémon (between Deoxys and Keldeo).

|image=SSB4 - Golden Plains 01.jpg|text=Pic of the day. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a game where you collect tons of coins. Thus, it's only natural that many coins will appear in this stage… Wait, is this really Super Smash Bros??
|reply=If you collect 100 coins, you transform into a gold fighter! For a short period of time, your attack power will increase and you won't flinch when you receive attacks. This unique stage's name is [[Golden Plains]] and it's exclusive to the 3DS version.
|replyimage=SSB4 - Golden Plains 02.jpg
|notes=Confirms a new stage for the 3DS version based on ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Also talks about the stage's exclusive gimmick of becoming a Gold Fighter, and the benefits that come with it. This is notably the first multiplayer stage shown to take advantage of each player having their own system for the 3DS version, done by showing the player's coin counter in the top left.

And you can watch the tournament live by visiting the website below!! Bear in mind, every participant will have little to no experience playing with the Wii U version...but what makes the Smash Bros. series really remarkable is the importance of improvisation over memorization. I'd like to stress that this is a work-in-progress version of the game, so please forgive us if we run into some issues.

It's been streamlined with added features here and there, like sturdier glass and doubled speed for long hits. You can also have fun comparing your rankings for this mini-game with your [[Global Smash Power]].
|notes=Shows a clear confirmation of the Home-Run Contest returning in the 3DS version, which was briefly seen in the E3 2014 Digital Event trailer two days prior. The post confirms a few tweaks that have been made to the mode, and that its scores will be among the "solo mode" scores used for Global Smash Power online rankings.

You can control the direction the Chakram is thrown, or even make it stall in midair. The Chakram is also the only one of these tied to the side special move, so you can use one of the other items consecutively with this one.

|reply=We've made it so that customization options, including special attacks, will be disabled when you're playing online in [[With Anyone]] mode. After all, we have to think about game balance, and it's crucial for anonymous players to be able to use reliable tactics against one another. When you're playing in single player, battling with friends online, or playing locally, you're free to play however you want--with or without customization.

|reply=If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!!

|reply= <span id="AYMHAAACAAAYUKlb3K0vUA">That</span> said, if we're talking just about range, even that can't beat Palutena's power, [[Heavenly Light]]. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won't react to the damage!

|image=Marth Lucina PotD.jpg|text=Pic of the day. Along with Robin, {{SSB4|Lucina}} joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth.
|reply=With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.

The Levin Sword can be activated by using smash attacks--you can even activate these moves in midair! However, just like in the original game, the Levin sword can be used only a limited number of times before it breaks, at which point it takes some time to regenerate. When the Levin sword is unavailable, Robin fights using the bronze sword.
|reply=The way Robin launches [[Arcfire]] is kind of crazy—he or she calls down a bolt of flame from above, then launches a pillar of fire! By the way, Robin’s tome changes with each special attack.

The font color for the "Remix" text on remixed songs comes in pink or white.

One of the new highlights for this feature is the "Play in Sleep Mode" option in the upper right. If you turn this on, you can listen to the tracks with your headphones even when your Nintendo 3DS is closed. The L and R Buttons will let you skip tracks. This means you can use it as a portable music player. Enjoy listening to the tracks you love by putting all songs in loop, shuffle, or selecting your favorite tracks!!

In general, the fighters who are fast by default, equipped with speed-boosting equipment, and powered-up with speed boosts over the course of that Smash Run will have the advantage. However, speed isn't the only factor that will determine who will be victorious... 
|reply=Those red things in the picture are called danger zones, and if you touch one, you'll get penalized by respawning farther back in the stage!! The danger zones disappear after someone else touches them, so fighters following those in the lead will have an advantage. You can still find speed boosts throughout the stage, so it'll be a heated battle 'till the end!!

|image=Classic Mode Roulette.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. In Classic mode, a roller spins before every stage to determine your reward. Rewards in red are for customization, green ones are trophies, and yellow means precious gold. Of course, if you raise the intensity, the abundance of these rewards will increase quite a bit, too. You can be rewarded in every stage, so in that way this mode might be a little more generous compared to previous games in the series.
|reply=And here's the results screen. It shows what you gained in each stage, but you won't be rewarded until you clear it all. If you mess up in the middle, you can lose some of them too. The fighter icons are special attacks, and icons like the shield are equipment. The icons that say Mii on them are hats and clothes for Mii characters. Icons that show characters on a stand are trophies, of course, and the coins are gold you earned.
|replyimage=Classic Rewards.jpg
|notes= Confirms how rewards for Classic Mode will work. Also shows off a few trophies. Also reveals that Mii Fighters can be fought in Classic Mode similar to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] in ''Smash 64''.

|image=Japanese Demo POtD.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Users in Japan, you can now download the demo for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS! You can pick among 5 fighters with which to play. The stage is Battlefield, and the rules are fixed. There will be a few items and assist trophies available too. You can battle via local wireless, so have fun battling with your friends. For users outside of Japan, stay tuned for more news about the demo for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Screen shot is from Japanese version.
|reply=The only mode available on the demo version is Smash, but I also left open a feature called Tips. Just remember to tap that button. You'll figure the rest out once you do.

|image=SSB4 Olimar and Alph.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. The hero from Pikmin 3, Alph joins the battle!! He has pretty much the same set skills as Olimar since he's basically just his variation. He can't use Rock Pikmin either.
|reply=They are different characters, so they each get their own title treatment on the character-selection screen. See? It says Alph.

|image=SSB4 World Status.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. This is the World Status you can see in Spectator mode. The game isn't released yet so the map looks pretty plain now, but I wonder what it'll look like once it's out? Also, this is where you can see all sorts of stats being tallied up. In Group play and Spectator mode, you can see characters you haven't unlocked yet, so watch out if you don't want to be spoiled.
|reply=Even if you don't want to be spoiled, it might be wise to select the Online option at least once before you start the game. Your Global Smash Power won't appear until the first time you connect to the internet. Not only that, but there could potentially be a patch available that can resolve potential issues, like the one being released now for the Japanese version of the game. For the package version, updates can be pre-downloaded to your system even before you purchase the game, so make sure you look out for them.

|image=SSB3DS Conquest.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Now that the game is out in Japan, the [[Conquest]] mode will be available in online multiplayer in the Japanese version. This is what the title screen will look like for the overseas version. In this mode, the game aggregates global wins among specific teams during a limited time and determines the victor. If you choose a participating fighter from the With Anyone option, you'll automatically participate in Conquest. We'll be running Conquest in beta for a while.
|reply=Also, Conquest data where players seem to be losing on purpose will be removed from the calculations. And lastly, there's no point in working on this mode too much on your own, so don't overdo it…

|text=Pic of the day. These two are a haunting pair. You can only attack Gastly using items, but the Ghost has a perfect guard and reflects your attacks. When you see a Ghost, make sure you use your grab. If you're playing with Diddy Kong, his Monkey Flip should work, too.

|text=Announcement: Originally, the pic of the day was only supposed to continue for about two months, but I've ended up posting pictures until even today. The 3DS version has already been released in Japan, so I would like to talk about how future posts will be handled.<br><br>First, I will not talk about hidden features until the game is released overseas. On the other hand, I definitely will talk about them after the game is released abroad.<br><br>In addition, I am planning to continue making posts at least until the Wii U version is released. I haven't decided if I'll go by the Japanese version release or the release of versions abroad, but the point is that I'll continue posting for a little bit longer.<br><br>Pic of the day won't focus on introducing new information anymore in the near future, but I hope to entertain you with interesting and funny photos like I originally intended to. Thanks.

|text=Pic of the day. Well, I'd better post some pictures from the Wii U version once in a while, right? We've brought back the [[Castle Siege]] stage from Fire Emblem!
|replyimage=SSB4-U Castle Siege Throne Room.jpg
|reply=Most of the games in the Fire Emblem series have a different unique setting and have fields without much height, so it was hard to narrow down what venues to focus on. Castle Siege and Colosseum are two stages that aren't exclusive to specific games in the franchise.
|notes=Confirms Castle Siege as a returning stage.

|image=Master Core PotD.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Master Hand's glove rips open, and a mysterious substance we're calling the swarm, er, swarms out. The amount of this substance determines the shape of your final opponent, and you will have to launch it away in small clusters at a time. The higher your intensity, the denser the substance will be.
|notes=Gives details on [[Master Core|the hardest boss in Classic Mode]].

|text=Pic of the day. PAC-MAN makes an appearance on the [[PictoChat 2]] stage. We've included this as an element from Pac-Pix, which was released in 2005. It was quite revolutionary.
|reply=There are a lot of new elements in the PictoChat 2 stage. In this screenshot, it looks like there is depth to the stage…or like there isn't. The illusory nature of the drawing is meant to challenge your perspective.

|image=SSB4-3DS Mii Hats.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. We've prepared many hats for Mii Fighters...but a lot of them are humorously designed, so it might be hard to coordinate them with flair. You could, of course, choose to not wear the hats at all... It makes me wonder--how is everyone planning to dress up their Mii Fighters? Well, one thing is for sure: the ninja headband worn by the Mii in front should look good with anything.

|image=SSB4_Music_Change_3DS.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. For the 3DS version, you can select alternate tracks for stages by holding down the R Button while you select the stage--the brown drop shadow that frames the stage image when you hold down the R Button indicates the alternate track is active. For the Living Room stage, the alternate track is the vocal version of the default track. Songs with vocals aren't the best match for battles, but the song was too good to leave out, so this is how we chose to include it.
|reply=Also, For the Boxing Ring, if you select the stage while holding down the L Button, you can play on the Smash Bros. version of the stage. If you hold down the Y Button, you can choose to play on the Punch Out! version.  These variations are usually selected at random, but this method lets you select them manually.

|image=WiiUOutlines.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. In the 3DS version, your fighter gets outlined by your team color. So, how does this work in the Wii U version? Check out this screenshot. In this picture, the outlines may seem faint, but the color intensity is consistent. This means that the farther away and smaller your fighter appears on the screen, the clearer the colors will look.
|notes=Confirms that in both versions, characters will no longer be forced into their red, blue, or green [[palette swap]]s for team battles thanks to outlining.
