Is it still worth playing?
The first Smash on a handheld, released on October 3, 2014 for the 3DS and directed by Masahiro Sakurai. The roster is shared with the Wii U version, 58 fighters with the downloads, seventeen of them newcomers: the Villager, the Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Mega Man, Pac-Man and the Mii Fighters among them. Smash Run is this version's own mode, out of Kirby Air Ride's City Trial: five minutes loose in a big map fighting computer enemies for power ups, and then a match with what you gathered. The stages come from the handheld games, and online splits into For Fun, with items, and For Glory, stock matches on flat stages with a record kept. Smash Run is still the one Smash mode where the fight starts after five minutes of scavenging, which is its draw today.
