+==In competitive play==
+The competitive scene for {{For3ds}}, despite essentially being the same as its Wii U counterpart in a competitive sense, always had a significantly smaller scene. This was due to players generally prefering to play ''Smash'' in a high resolution on a big screen, which the 3DS explicitly did not do but the Wii U did. The 3DS version did have slightly over two months all to itself, but that was not enough to grow a scene and very few major tournaments specific to this version have occured.
+There are a few noteworthy aspects specific to the 3DS scene. First off, it has a completely different stage list, leading to a completely different competitively [[legal stage]] list. The console exclusive [[Smash Run]] has also developed a niche [[speedrun]]ing community, with players attempting to complete the mode in the fastest time and/or the highest score. [[StreetSmash]] has also developed a niche competitive scene, sometimes seen as side events in major tournaments.
+===As a controller===
+Due to the 3DS essentially being the only official control scheme for {{For3ds}} and being required to play the game, it was essentially the only controls used for the relatively few major tournaments for that game.
+Despite being an official control scheme for {{forwiiu}}, the 3DS was rarely used in tournaments. This was due to the logistical hurdles of either owning a copy of both games or paying extra to use the controller functionality, and the controls itself being considered worse than most other options due to its restricted functionality without addons like the Circle Pad Pro. However, the New 3DS and its built-in [[C-stick]] improved its viability as a controller and retroactively improved the 3DS entry by making it control more like other games in the series.
