Including DLC characters, this installment features a total of 58 playable characters. These consist of 37 veterans and 21 newcomers. Certain characters from the previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games have been removed from the rosters of both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions in order to keep them consistent, partly due to limitations with the Nintendo 3DS version. Unlike the previous games in the series, with the removal of in-game transformations, [[Sheik]], [[Zero Suit Samus]], and [[Charizard]] are now standalone characters. Of the playable character roster, if excluding [[Mii Fighter]]s and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], eleven originate from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] and its spin-off series (eighteen if counting each of the Koopalings), with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]] being playable. | Including DLC characters, this installment features a total of 58 playable characters.
