We're a day late with this article, so our apologies. As is always the case Masahiro Sakurai took to the Super Smash Bros. Director's Room on Miiverse to share screens of Super Smash Bros., even doing so during the main Holiday week. He has confirmed that the pic of the day feature is taking a short break until 6th January; it's a well deserved rest too, Sakurai-san.
Last week did bring us the reveal of Zelda as a new challenger, which was certainly good news. Sakurai-san did bring us some intriguing information on a Rainbow Road stage for the 3DS version of the game and explained that Rosalina has an anti-gravity effect; both add to the potential awesomeness of these games.
The last screens of 2013 are below, and as always you can click on the date heading to visit the Miiverse posts in question and give them a Yeah.
23rd December
24th December

Zelda for the win!!
So how about Starfy becomes a playable character and we get a new Starfy game here in the states. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Voted for the yellow one
@Baum897
I voted for the same thing too
Rosalina is very tall. Very.
Rainbow Road is so gorgeous! 1 SSB for 3DS SOLD I hope there's a remix, or original version of the Super Mario Kart RR theme (my all-time favorite Mario Kart song) on this stage!
@Baum897 @Rosalina I did as well! :3
I would've gone for Zelda, but we all knew she would be returning anyway, so my vote this time goes out to the Rainbow Road stage reveal!
This falls under the "Inappropriate content" section of our rules -Lz
I vote for Peach pinching Link's pits with Zelda promising vengeance in the background...
have they shown any new playable pokemon yet?
@photofool83 How about we get ANY Starfy game in Europe
That Zelda pic. Just... that pic.
I voted for the Rainbow Road stage!
...it was a tough choice between that and the first one...
...but the Rainbow Road one has Rosalina in it too! I didn't abandon you Rosalina!!!
Rainbow Road. The last 3DS screenshot shows one of the best exclusives the portable version has to offer.
Heres hoping the Wii U version of Rainbow Road looks alot better than the awful, bland 3DS one. Ugh....
Gotta go with number one here. Love me some tall girls I guess this means she'll be light and KO'd easily, based on what Sakurai says. So...the opposite of her Mario Kart portrayals...
@Ichiban: IMO, the 3DS version looks better, graphically... have you seen the 3DS screenshots on a 3DS? They look gorgeous!
I'd say the 3DS version is utilizing its respective hardware more fully than the Wii U version is. But again, just in my opinion.
@Gioku yeah im sure ill eat my words once i see it in action!
Mines not shown on here...that screen with Zelda and DK...DK's face was just awesome. xD
points to @DestinyMan's avatar lol
Definitely Rosalina. I thought I wouldn't be bias, but I am. Mario definitely has a better choice in her. Make of that as you will! C'mon Smash U!
@Dark-Luigi Rosalina's fan base FTW!!!
Voted for Rainbow Road, because that stage is too awesome.
very happy to see zelda back. can't wait to play
Rosalina is pretty bad donkey, deffo in Mario 3D world =P
Starfy's gonna come back as an assist trophy once again, it's common sense since sakurai does the HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! thing everytime a new fighter is revealed, same applies for xerneas.
I think the 3DS installment is going to be the better version.
I love Raibow Road, all of (Double Dash's was okay). Would love to see one on the Wii U based of the Wii's Rainbow road or 64.
RAINBOW ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAADDDDDD!!!!!
(Is awesome and swell)
@3MonthBeef
I hadn't even thought of that.
Starfyyy!
Looks like luma has a nose here (due to the shine)
As if Mario wasn't looking already short enough next to Peach XD
But geez... leave some blondies to the others you greedy plumber!!! >o<#
shouldnt it say "as a returning character" and not new character announced? o.o
That first one is pure 18+ material...
That RAINBOW ROAD STAGE! YEEEEESSSS!
Why bring back starfy he's useless he's the only assist trophy you can kill
Can we please get Toon Zelda as a new character since we already have Link and Toon Link?
