DLC was first confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4 in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza Nintendo Direct. Downloadable content for the game includes new playable characters, stages, and even new features. Paid content can be found for purchase on the Nintendo eShop in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and in an in-game DLC shop in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.

In a similar vein to clone characters, DLC characters are recognized by being placed in their own area on the character select screen, regardless of which franchise they hail from. DLC characters that have not been purchased or otherwise obtained can still be encountered online, and their amiibo can still be used. If more than four DLC characters have been purchased on the 3DS version and all other characters unlocked, the DLC characters get a seperate page on the selection screen. It is currently unkown if this also appear when you purchase all seven DLC characters for the WiiU version with all other characters unlocked.

Stages
