Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the latest entry in Nintendo's crossover fighting series.

General Comments
The game's art style is mostly cartoonish, but some characters have more realistic proportions than others. The fighting, while frantic and fast paced, is not graphic in its violence.
Animal Abuse
The characters Fox, Yoshi, Bowser, Bowser Jr., King Dedede, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Duck Hunt, Falco, Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, Jigglypuff, and Greninja, are or could reasonably be interpreted to be animals, and they can and are repeatedly attacked. In addition, some summoned Pokémon can be attacked.
Aquatic Violence
The balloon fight stage has a fish that will bite a character and drag them down to a KO. This fish is pixelated. The rising acid in the Brinstar level will damage characters and send them flying.
Body Horror
Some trophies, such as Pseudo-Palutena may contain elements of body horror.
Bones
Some trophies contain bones.
Canines
The characters Fox and lucario resemble bipedal canines.
Clowns
Bowser Jr. pilots a "Junior Clown Car" at all times. In addition, some trophies resemble clowns.
Darkness
The Pictochat 2 stage can go completely dark, and the only indication of where characters are will be their Player Indicator Arrow.
Dead Bodies
Some Smash Run enemies and trophies depict corporeal undead.
Depiction of Disaster
The Mushroomy Kingdom Stage depicts a post-apocalyptic World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros.
Depiction of War
The Reset Bomb Fortress stage has armies battling in the background.
Drowning
It is possible to fall off of the bottom of levels that are seemingly covered in water, and in some cases the player character can be dragged underneath the water.
Electrocution
Many characters have electrical attacks in their arsenal.
Explosions
Many characters use explosive devices as part of their arsenal, and many items create explosive effects. The Reset Bomb Fortress has a giant explosion as part of the stage’s evolution.
Eye Horror/Eye Trauma
A number of Smash Run enemies consist almost entirely of eye, and it is possible to attack them.
Fire
Many characters use fire as part of their arsenal, and many items can conjure fire.
Ghosts
Pac-Man's smash attacks summon ghosts. In addition, ghost trophies exist, and ghost enemies appear in Smash Run.
Guns
Multiple characters use guns as weapons, and gun items exist that let other characters fire projectiles.
Heights
Multiple stages contain the risk of falling long distances, and that is one way to lose a match.
Insects
Some trophies may resemble insects. Some enemies in Smash Run are or resemble insects. There is an item that resembles a mechanical insect, and another that is a spaceship that resembles an insect.
Fighting Master hand on Infernal or higher difficulty can result in the fight being replaced with a black shadow creature. One of the forms it can take resembles a scorpion.Jump Scares
With items appearing randomly, it is possible for explosive items to spawn in front of a player as they are attacking in such a way as to make it appear that the character simply spontaneously exploded.
Needles
Several enemies have needle like structures in their anatomy. Megaman’s up-smash converts his hands into needles.
Rats/Rodents
Pikachu is a rodent, and Meta-Knight has bat-like wings.
Reptiles
Bowser, Yoshi, Charizard, Greninja, and Bowser Jr., are or resemble reptiles (or amphibians in the case of Greninja)
Sexualization/Objetification
The design of some characters is sexualized, most notably Zero Suit Samus. Some trophies also depict sexualized designs.
Snakes
Some trophies resemble or contain snakes.
Spiders
Some trophies resemble or contain spiders.</div>
Supernatural Evil
Some Trophies, assist trophies, and enemies in Smash Run mode resemble demons.
Undead/Zombies
Some trophies and enemies in Smash Run resemble undead creatures, including ReDead from the Legend of Zelda series (specifically the version from Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask).
Vehicular Trauma
Several characters have attacks that make use of vehicles. It is possible to be struck by vehicles on the Rainbow Road and Mute City stages. The Spirit Train level also can cause injury to characters with parts of the train. Some minigames on the Warioware level use vehicles.
Violence Against Children
The characters the Villager, Bowser Jr, Toon Link, Diddy Kong, Kirby, and Ness, are or could easily be interpreted to be children. In addition, Miis of children could be created.
Weapons
As a fighting game, weapons abound.
