As well, every Console-only Stage offers 8-Player Versions and the Handheld offers &-Player versions. Most franchises received a new stage and there are a number of new franchises to be represented, thus far, by a stage. These include: Swapnote, Steel Diver, and Wii Sports.

==Game Modes==
Super Smash Bros. 5 has a number of new and old modes and a considerable increase from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. In addition, both the console and handheld have a number of game mode differences that highlights on various aspects of the series.
===Single Player===
====Classic Mode====
Much like in the previous Super Smash Bros. titles, Classic Mode pits the player against a number of computer players in various stages. There are 6 matches per Classic Mode with the end boss being Master Hand and/or Crazy Hand. Completing Classic Mode rewards the player with artwork and a character trophy. Both versions differ in layout, matches, and rules.
Handheld Version
The handheld version resembles Arcade Ladders, a type of style popularized by Mortal Kombat where players fight opponents that are visible in the ladder and continue up to the end boss. Prior to the battles, players can choose between:
*Easy
*Normal
*Hard
*Insane
They are then giving a brief preview of the ladder that they chose with harder difficulties having more opponents. Defeating opponents progresses the player up the ladder and results in rewards given. Players can also gamble on Gold prior to a match which rewards players on how well they do in the match. At times, characters may be replaced with an even more difficult opponent or a Special Smash involving more than one opponent or particular effects placed within the match. Going flawless through the ladder without any deaths and remaining under 50% for every match on Normal or higher results in encountering Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Doing this on Hard results in encountering Master Core instead.
Console Version
Players progress on a horizontal plane with 10 matches. Each match is color coded with:
*Red: Indicates a normal match
*Green: Indicates an Event match )(such as Home-run Contest, Target Blast, or Multi-Man Smash)
*Blue: Indicates a Special Smash which has certain rules and effects
*Yellow: Indicates that 2-3 other players will join the battle as well.
When you arrive on the spot, a spinner appears with character shadows on it. Players place how many Gold they want to invest in the match which indicates the difficulty as well as the rewards given. They then spin it and the portion that the pointer lands on indicates the opponent. Much like the handheld, going flawless with 70% of the matches being normal and up results in Master & Crazy Hand and going flawless 100% on Hard results in Master Core.
Available on only the console version is Make your Own Classic which allows players to create their own Classic Modes and share it with anyone or friends. Here is a list of content that can be customized:
*Number of rounds (6 to 15)
*Types of rounds (standard, team, group, special)

*Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and/or Master Core
Note: Completing a created Classic Mode does not reward the player with a standard character trophy.

The character is randomized and each character has his or her own rival character drawn from the roster. This doesn't change based regardless of the match up. There isn't a set difficulty but progresses meaning that the first round is the easiest while the last round is the hardest.

Any sort of stat upgrades will dispense the upgrades between the teammates. The camera is at a top view much like how the Classic Mode was like in the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. Players can perform all of the attacks in the game but from this viewpoint. They also have the same command inputs as in normal matches though the control stick moves the player forward rather than jumping and the jump input is mapped to the X button. Inputting the directional attacks such as tilts, smashes, and specials remain the same. The 4th player works as Master Hand on the Gamepad; placing obstacles and enemies down onto the map for the team to try and destroy. Reaching the end without losing all the team results in a win for the team.
====Stadium====

Home-run Contest returns as a multi-player mode where players must beat up Mr. Sandbag and then launch them via the Home-run Bat. The multi-player feature returns on both versions.

These Smash Challenges are typically general in nature and involve game play rather than focusing on characters. A Character Challenge are only available in the console version and are divided by characters.

According to Sakurai, this mode took a lot of manpower to create and build and was created to allow players a deeper understanding of the characters they love. The Animation Workshop allows players to view models of characters and view all of the animations they have including walking, jumping, attacks, special attacks, etc. It also allows the player to speed up, slow down, and pause the animations and view them at a 3D angle. It can also show the hitboxes, the damage percentage, and the trajectory path of an attack. In addition, players add additional fighters to the workshop. This mode, according to Sakurai, will revolutionize the Smash meta game. In addition, players can bookmark certain animations and share them between friends. They can also record video or take pictures of the animation.
==New Features==
Super Smash Bros. 5 will contain various new features that range from game play to game modes, characters, and other content. It has been confirmed via Sakurai that characters will undergo a huge overhaul in terms of design and performance; citing that move sets may be changed. According to Sakurai "In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, we included Custom Special moves as a way to shake things up. We took things even further in this next instalment. The gameplay has been overhauled to make it fresher and exciting but still true to the Super Smash Bros. formula." Sakurai also said in a later interview "The amount of content and features in this new title is staggering. It's really amazing how much stuff we could pack into it!" Here is a list of new features within Super Smash Bros. 5:
====Custom Sets and Moves====
Players now have access to two different Special Move sets which are labelled "Set A" and "Set B". For a veteran, Special Set A is the special move set that they have had since they were included into the roster. Special Set B is an entirely new special move set or one that incorporates previous removed moves (i.e. Mario Tornado for Mario). Some characters, such as Ganondorf, has his move sets switched. The Special Set B can be unlocked by complete a Character Challenge. Both sets has Customized Specials that can also be unlocked by various ways.
====Final Smashes====
Final Smashes also receive a new feature. First, players now have access to two Final Smashes which can be performed through inputs. Standard special executes Final Smash 1 while special plus attack activates Final Smash 2. Secondly, players can still disable the Smash Ball but still do a Final Smash. When the Smash Ball is deactivated, players can gain a Final Smash a number of ways:
*Damaging opponents
*KO'ing an opponent
*Avoiding damage
*Not being KO'd
*Having a higher sore/stock count
You can tell just how close a character is to getting a Final Smash based on the percentage icon which will begin to flash rapidly with light as they get close. Once they can activate the Final Smash, the screen changes as if they opened up a Smash Ball.
====Stages====
How stages are constructed and used in Super Smash Bros. 5 has been revamped and changed drastically:
*Omega and Alpha Versions: Mentioned earlier, players can choose between playing on a standard version, an Omega Version, and an Alpha Version. The Omega Version is based off of Final Destination while the Alpha Version is based off of Battlefield.
*8/6-Player Smash: All console stages all have 8-Player Smash versions while handheld has a 6-Player Smash version.
*Randomized Stages: Players can indicate what stages they want or don't want to be included in random .
*Stage Hazards Toggle: Players can not toggle in the Match Rules on how much hazards a stage will have. They can also set a preference in Options on the Main Main; indicating what stages will have which stage hazards. The options are:
Standard: No change
High: More hazards, damage, and knockback.
None: All hazards are removed and only do small knockback in certain situations.
*Stage Themes: Final Destination and Battlefield have Stage Themes which can be unlocked or possibly purchased and downloaded. These themes are based on various franchises such as Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon. This alters the background, stage design,and even the available music.
====Cheerpals====
Cheer Pals are miniature figures that can be collected by completing challenges or rewards. These will cheer on a player who is doing well in a match and are separated into various franchises. Some include Big Boo from Super Mario Bros., Groose from The Legend of Zelda, and Slippy from Star Fox. You can either select which ones represent you, limit which ones will appear, or turn them off completely. You can also have 8 active total.
====Item Customization====
Players can now customize items by adding certain power ups to them. Each item can have up to 5 additional upgraded versions. Collecting various upgrades throughout the game will allow for customization. These items are called "Smash Ore" and can change an item drastically.
====Character Aesthetics====
Aesthetically, character have a much more vibrant feel compared to previous games. Masahiro Sakurai stated that he wanted character to visually "pop out" for players. The team also tried to combine the realistic design of Super Smash Bros. Brawl with that of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Besides visual aesthetics, characters also are much more expressive and seemingly aware of their surroundings. Characters will often follow the other player in front of them with their eyes and faintly move their head up or down to follow the movement of the other player. If the player's character's back is to another player, he or she may slightly look behind themselves.
In addition, when a match is started, a character expression and idle/fighting stance is balanced as if they are getting ready to fight. The more damaged they become, they more angry their faces are and more erratic their idle/fighting animation are. Likewise, whenever a player gets a KO; they perform a very quick victory pose. If a player knocks another but they manage to get back to the stage; they show a sign of surprise/frustration. If a player is currently in the lead, the expression is happy and confident with more sure idle/fighting animations. However, if a player is losing, they appear more upset in their idle/fighting animations.
=====Customizable Character Content=====
Players can now unlock new customizable content that can be accessed on the "Smash Files". New on-screen appearances, character select screen animations, victory animations, losing animations, and so on can be unlocked. They can then be selected or set at random to be used in a game.
====Color Swaps/Costumes====
Players have access to a total of 10 color swaps/costumes as well as three locked costumes. In addition, some costumes also have color swaps (i.e. Doctor Mario from Mario) available when unlocked.
====Character Victory Themes====
Every character has a unique victory theme save for veterans who represent a franchise like Link and Mario. They retain the old victory theme.
====Customizable Mechanics====
Players can now customized game mechanics slightly to mold how they play the game. Targeted towards players who want a more personalized experience, players can change a number of aspects of the game such as:
Slower game speed
Faster game speed
More floaty mechanics
More launch resistance
Longer hitstun
Closer blast boundaries
====Smash Cloud====
Players are able to store information, data, records, and videos on the Smash Cloud. A Smash Cloud is a free service provided through Nintendo and is connected to the Nintendo Cloud. Players are able to download information, character data, content, and other forms of data from the Smash Cloud into the system they are using. Purchasing the game allows the player to register for the Smash Cloud and utilizing the Smash Cloud can unlock various features and content. The Smash Cloud stores data for:
*Character Records
*High Scores
*Medals
*Created Mii Fighters
*Rules
*Recorded videos
*Collected trophies and other items
*Misc Information
The account is awarded a Cloud Power rating that is dependent based on their playing records, character records, data information, and amount of content unlocked. The higher the number, the more successful the player is. Visiting another players Smash Cloud results in a Cloud Battle which is a non-playable battle between the players account and the visitors. The character used in the battle can be decided upon when making the account though it will use character with the highest character record if a character is not chosen. The outcome of the match is decided upon by the comparisons between the two accounts. However, there is really no winner or loser as both sides receive prizes and experience when in contact. Prizes include in-game Gold, custom outfits/items, power-ups, trophies, and other collectables. The winner obviously gets more than the loser of the battle. One account can battle 5 times per day.
===New Items===
===New Assist Trophies===
===Poke Ball Pokemon===
===Cheerpals===
Cheerpals are collectable characters players can find throughout the game such as Single and Multiplayer modes, bought at the Cheerpal Store, awarded for completing Event Matches or Challenges, or gifted from friends. You can select up to 10 Cheerpals to represent you. When you doing well during a match, a Cheerpal will appear on the side of the screen. while not always, it will appear when the crowd cheers for an opponent. The Cheerpal will also appear alongside the player during his or her victory animations.

==Development==
Development for Super Smash Bros. 5 came about shortly after the Wii U release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. At the time, the development team had begun focusing on including various content into Super Smash Bros. 4 though began to cut the content has time progressed on. It was decided by the team to create a pack that included a variety of content, patches, and graphic enhancements. However, while the pack was released with the patches and graphic enhancements, the actual content was severely cut due to development time. This led the team to, rather focusing on including in a future instalment. With the success of the Super Smash Bros. titles, Nintendo wishes to see the next installment as a launch title for the next generation of Nintendo consoles and handhelds which were slated to be released simultaneously.
Series creator, Masahiro Sakurai had a fairly uninvolved hand in starting this project until a year or two later though he did have creative control over much of it. However, he did indicate that he didn't want to be the chief directing force and it was decided to incorporate more than one director that would oversee a particular aspect of the game. Nintendo then began pooling resources under this project though largely kept it a secret; naming it "Project Nintendo". According to development, it was the goal to create the ultimate Super Smash Bros. title that was encapsulate the past, present, and future of Nintendo. Nintendo gave a large amount of resources and funded to create the perfect testament to Nintendo's image.
During development, a huge emphasis was placed on game play design and characters. Both directors wanted to revolutionize the characters within Super Smash Bros. and to change the formula within the game. According to Masahiro Sakurai, they went about working on this as a reboot and focused on portraying the series in a different, more expansive light. Each character has a wide range of customizable features and includes content from their own universes.
According to Sakurai in the statement he released during development "Fans can expect the characters to be totally revamped; built from the ground up. The models, play styles, move sets, and other features are all not only going to look a bit shinier but some may change entirely in order to bring freshness." This was further proven by Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the Super Mario Bros. franchise who tweeted "In the Smash 5 studio helping out with Mario, Bowser, and Peach. They are much different than before!" Producer of the Legend of Zelda series Eiji Aonuma made mention in an interview that we will joining the Super Smash Bros. 5 team in helping create Legend of Zelda related content.
In a Nintendo Developer Direct, Masahiro Sakurai invited cameras into the Smash 5 studio. The video showed a little bit about the process of creating the game, how characters are decided on and created, and what sort of work goes into the game. Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that various directors and producers form the franchises that are included into Super Smash Bros. 5 will be brought on board to not aid in the development of those characters but the content as well. Sakurai stated "This is to ensure the characters and content are closest to the source as possible. The creators of these franchises are decided on important factors and what should go in or be taken out. This is less about being a solo project but a collaboration between countless studios and directors. This is truly the biggest crossover ever created."
===Involved Directors, Producers, and Development teams===
