It was published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console in 2014. The game is the fourth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, following Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and preceding Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo Switch.

The premise of the game is to fight against other players or computer-controlled characters using characters from various franchises owned by Nintendo. Players can use items to damage their opponents or help themselves in battle. The objective is to knock out opponents off-screen, which will result in a victory screen where they are shown being sent flying off into the distance; alternatively, if one player has more life remaining than their opponent when time runs out, they are declared the winner instead.
