The [[Nintendo Wii]] was the first Nintendo home console to support online play out of the box, with Nintendo allowing the device to take advantage of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] (WFC). As a result, ''Brawl'' was the first game in the series to officially support online play, allowing players to fight against either strangers or friends. In addition, gameplay [[mod]]s for ''Brawl'' could also be unofficially played online via this protocol, though all players would need the mod in order to prevent desyncs from occurring.

Like ''Brawl'', both {{forwiiu}} and {{for3ds}} natively support online play, though this time, the service is provided via the [[Nintendo Network]]. The service also offers a variety of benefits over ''Brawl's'' online play, particularly in regards to options and matchmaking. The overall concept, however, remains the same, with players being able to play against either strangers or friends via the internet. The latest version of the game must be downloaded to access online modes, as different players going online with different versions would cause compatibility issues and desyncing, if not break the game entirely.
