I will discuss the tree-level four particle scattering amplitudes of mass-deformed N=2 Chern-Simons theory (CSM) and N=2 Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory (YMCS). The on-shell SUSY algebras for these theories greatly constrain the amplitudes, and allow, in the case of CSM, for a compact superamplitude expression. I will also discuss BCFW recursion for massive theories in three-dimensions and its applicability to CSM and YMCS.
