== Differences from the 3DS version ==
*Certain stages that are in the 3DS version of the game aren't in the Wii U version. These stages include levels from Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS games such as 3D Land, Golden Plains, Paper Mario, and Spirit Tracks.
*In addition, the Wii U has exclusive stages of its own such as the Mario Galaxy stage.
*Smash Run is not available in the Wii U version of this game. Instead, it was replaced with Smash Tour which parodies the Mario Party series.
*This game features a total of 8 playable characters at a time.
*Event Matches are present in the Wii U version of this game.
*Certain characters, such as Jigglypuff and Ness, are starters in the Wii U version where, in the 3DS version, they are unlockable characters.
*Classic Mode is much different between the Wii U version and the 3DS version. In the Wii U version, the player has a certain rival character and must battle a horde of other characters before fighting Master Hand himself (or Crazy Hand or both on higher difficulties).
*Master Fortress is exclusive to the Wii U version, while there is nothing to replace it on the 3DS.
*On the Wii U disc, there is artwork of characters and even the Master Core forms, unlike the 3DS version.
