The game came with a special stand for you to use during game play (optional usage), which my son showed me how cool it looked on his 3DS, then quickly put off to the side in favor of regular handheld play. The game also came with six AR cards which give info on the characters/weapons on the cards. Another neat feature of the cards is that they are interactive, and you can actually have the characters on the cards battle with each other!

One of the things that I appreciated was the reversible cover art included with the game case. When you open the case, you can see pictures of Pit with various expressions on his face, and when you remove the instruction booklet and other paperwork included with the game, you can see various pictures of other characters in the game like Palutena and Medusa. Even nicer, when you remove the artwork from the game case, you see other visuals related to the game. Nice!
