Certain stages in the game support 2-to-6 or 2-8-player battles, but only for local play. The game includes standard 2-to-4-player battle modes, including both time and stock matches, playable via either local wi-fi or internet play. It is also possible to design a custom Mii-style fighter using parts and abilities unlocked throughout the game this character can also be transferred for use in the 3DS version of the game. Most of the fighters from previous entries have returned, along with numerous newcomers, including Mega Man, Pac-Man, Little Mac (Punch-Out), Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles), Palutena (Kid Icarus), Villager (Animal Crossing), and numerous others for a total of more than three dozen playable characters. As characters take damage, they are sent flying further by attacks, and if they fly - or fall - out of the arena, then they're out! The basic formula is unchanged since the previous title: up to eight characters, controlled by either human players or the computer, duke it out in arenas based on Nintendo games the list of available stages on the Wii U largely differs from the 3DS game's offerings. for Wii U is, along with its 3DS counterpart, the fourth entry in Nintendo's crossover fighting franchise, featuring dozens of characters from across Nintendo's catalog, along with a few special guests.
