==DLC==
Main article: Super Smash Bros. Next/DLC 
Downloadable content is introduced to the series in this game. It features several characters and/or stages combined into packs.
==Beta elements==
There are many beta elements on the disc of Super Smash Bros. Next, including empty files for Shadow the Hedgehog, Pitoo, and Dry Bones as fighters. One of the more interesting ones is an unused victory animation and theme for Tails because it's very different than the one seen in-game. 
==Trivia==
*There are plans to release a port of this game for the Nintendo 4GDS. However, the system has not been selling very well, so it's possible that the port has been cancelled. 
*The tentative title for this game was "Super Smash Bros: The Next Generation" or "Super Smash Bros. 5."
*A hidden secret lies within the game's Story Mode. Can you find it in the pictures?
*In early trailers for the game, a character whom wasn't in the final product was seen. That character was Mr. Game and Watch.
