Game Modes and Features
3DS
Smash Run
This game contains a mode called Smash Run, exclusive to the 3DS version of the game. The mode drops up to four players in a large "dungeon-like area", where the objective is to explore, defeat enemies, and open chests in order to obtain power ups before facing off against the other players. These enemies consist of characters from the previous Super Smash Bros. game's adventure mode, and other various Nintendo titles, such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and Kirby. This mode is meant to be similar to City Trial in Kirby Air Ride, as acknowledged by Masahiro Sakurai.
Enemies from the Kirby series include:

Smash Tour
Smash Tour is essentially a board game and can be played with up to four players. The objective is to collect as many fighters and stat boosts before all turns are over. Once the game concludes, the players fight in a stock battle using the fighters they collected. There are three boards: a small board, a medium board, and a large board.
Occasionally, Tac will appear on the board and will drop a massive amount of Stat Boosts if a player touches him on the board.
Trivia

- Bandana Waddle Dee was the most voted Kirby series fighter in the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot.[2]
