Smash Run (フィールドスマッシュ, Field Smash) is a gameplay mode that appears exclusively in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It involves an unusual blend of platforming and exploration, as well as standard fighting in the second half of the mode.
Overview
The Smash Run stats with a five-minute adventure course involving exploration of a large, expansive, but unnamed island in the sky. Players are tasked with strengthening their attributes via finding items in chests, as well as defeating numerous enemies from both Brawl's The Subspace Emissary and other game series. Bonus stages hidden behind doors in the map also allow for players to take part in challenges that can give them further boosts to their various attributes and more prizes; special events that occur on the map can also provide further benefits to players, such as by defeating an exceptionally powerful enemy or finding a hidden room filled with chests. Enemies, however, can attack the player and steal their power-ups; getting KOed is also a possibility, leading to significant penalties to the player's stat boosts.
Smash Run supports Character customization like most of the other modes in the game. However, Smash Run expands on this formula, further adding a variety of unique "Powers" that can be granted to competitors; these are activated by tapping their respective icon on the 3DS's lower screens (ranging from healing, attacking, and boosting), and can only be used on the Smash Run map in order to activate their effect; Equipment-type Powers that grant a held item when the player spawns are applied the same way, but don't appear as an option on the screen while playing. The lower screen can also display a map of the Smash Run arena, alternating between screens by tapping the left-hand area of the screen.
When the five minutes have expired, all power-ups collected are added to the character's stats, and the players compete in one of a variety of "Final Challenges", selected randomly, lasting one minute.
After a Smash Run match, players will obtain the trophies and character customization items that they collected while in the adventure course.
List of stat boosts
The following items can be found by defeating enemies, opening chests, and completing miniature missions within the mode. Each item has its own use, and will help the player in some way during the coming fight. Additionally, every item can be found in different sizes, which presumably alters how much of each stat will be boosted. Stat boosts with clocks on them also appear, which give a large temporary boost (about 500 points) to the stat.[1] There appears to be a maximum of 1000 arbitrary points for each category. Fighters can also build up their stats by performing the actions corresponding to them (e.g. Speed can be boosted by running, Attack can be boosted by attacking).
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Speed (移動, Movement) | A green item resembling a boot. Known to boost dashing speed; may also boost walking and air speed. |
 |
Jump (ジャンプ, Jump) | A yellow item resembling a wing. Increases jumping height (includes midair jumps height, and even wall jump height), also appears to increase falling speed. |
 |
Attack (通常ワザ, Normal Technique) | An orange item resembling a boxing glove. Boosts power of all normal attacks. |
 |
Special (必殺ワザ, Special Technique) | A red item shaped like a starburst. Boosts power of all special moves. Additionally, some special moves may gain increased range or a shortened charge time. |
 |
Arms (投げ・アイテム, Throw/Item) | A purple item resembling a sledge-hammer. Increases strength of projectiles, item attacks, healing effects from items, and throws. Additionally, grabbing range is increased and the user is less likely to drop items when attacked. |
 |
Defense (防御, Defense) | A blue item resembling a generic shield. Makes it more difficult to launch characters; it is currently unknown whether this is an increase in weight or a decrease in knockback taken (which may also result in flinch resistance). Additionally, the shield becomes harder to break and the timing for a perfect shield becomes more lenient. |

Origin
Smash Run is based in concept on City Trial from Kirby Air Ride, another game directed by Masahiro Sakurai, who explained that he wanted to recreate the mode in the game. In that mode, players would explore a large city to collect power-ups for their vehicles before proceeding to race or battle with those power-ups active.
