[edit] Battlefield
The Battlefield stage is one of the most basic stages in the game and a staple of the Super Smash Bros. series. This time around, rather than floating in a dark void, the level has an ancient ruins theme and floats above a large valley. The time of day changes during gameplay, with the sun rising and setting at regular intervals. The theme is not borrowed from any specific game.
[edit] Halberd
From: Kirby Super Star
The stage takes place on a small platform that soars around in the skies along with Meta Knight's ship, the Halberd. The platform eventually lands on top of the Halberd, where players are attacked by a double-barreled battery and a mechanical arm.
[edit] Bridge of Eldin
From: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
This stage is completely flat, and sometimes King Bulblin tackles you and throws bombs to the bridge to destroy it, but a portal will bring it back to its place.
[edit] Castle Siege
From: Fire Emblem
Castle Siege is the first stage of Fire Emblem and it has three known scenes of battle:
- Midst of Battle — The midst of battle is the first scene and it takes place in the outside castle. Here you can see the castle receiving really heavy damage.
- Throne Room — After time passes the floor shatters and you enter to the throne room. In this place you can destroy the stone statues.
- Underground — The underground is a place similar to hell. It is full of volcanoes and fire. Here you stand on a balanced pilar, so it moves right to left depending on the side that has more weight over it. After the Underground, you return to the Midst of Battle.
[edit] Delfino Plaza
From: Super Mario Sunshine
[edit] Distant Planet
From: Pikmin
This stage is conformed by a very bouncy base made of vines and a rock platform, but be careful in this rock platform because sometimes it rains and you may slip and lose a life.

[edit] Green Hill Zone
From: Sonic The Hedgehog (1991)
This stage is taken from the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog.

[edit] Mario Bros.
In this stage is quite difficult to make a KO because of the many floors it has, but if you hit a Shellcreeper or a Sidestepper you will be able to pick them up and throw them against an opponent, so that you can be able to knock the opponent sideways.

[edit] Mario Circuit
From: Super Mario Kart
The Mario Circuit level is a lot like the Mute City level from Super Smash Bros. Melee. It involves characters fighting at the intersection of the course and doging Shy-Guys driving thier karts. It´s a figure-8 track, so they will come from the back and from the sides.

[edit] Norfair
From: Metroid (1986–1988)
This stage is the Metroid stage. There are 5 platforms floating over lava that eventually rises to burn anyone who touches it, the only difference is that the lava will now come from the sides and even from behind like a lava wave. When the lava wave comes, a single safe area will appear. If a character fails to reach a safe zone before the lava strikes they will be KO'd.

You start fighting on Tetra's pirate ship, but eventually more and more boats come. They may appear in the background or as extra platforms. There is a small catapult that apears out of the front, so you can lure your foes to launch them if the time is right. Stay out of the water! If you hit the boat or the boat is sucked up by the storm, you will die!
- How to unlock
- Appears after Toon Link is unlocked.
[edit] Pokémon Stadium 2
From: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
The new Pokémon stadium is very similar to the Super Smash Bros. Melee level. While the background has been changed a bit, it still has two small floating platforms over the giant Poké Ball.
The terrain can now transform into "Electric", "Ground", "Flying", and "Ice". The electric stage turns the main platform into a conveyer belt, the flying stage makes the area very floaty, and the ice stage makes the floor slippery, making it hard to run.
[edit] Port Town Aero Dive
From: F-Zero GX
This stage is almost the same of the Mute City stage in SSBM. The only difference is the background and the stops.
[edit] Rumble Falls
From: Donkey Konga: Jungle Beat
This stage is very similar to Icicle Mountain from Super Smash Bros. Melee based on the fact that the screen will slowly scroll upwards, but this is with a Donkey Kong theme. Like Icicle Mountain, there are rock layers that impede progress, but there are also several spikes that send fighters flying far. On occasion, the words "SPEED UP" will appear, making the stage scroll faster than usual for a time.
[edit] Shadow Moses Island
The Metal Gear level is based on the helipad area of Shadow Moses Island from Metal Gear Solid. The level has high walls on the left and right that must be destroyed before characters can be smashed off the screen in those directions. A spotlight will search around the area, and, when a character is spotted, the character will pause and an exclamation mark will appear above its head. Occasionally, a Metal Gear will appear from the background. Snake will also receive communications about his opponents on this level.
[edit] Skyworld
From: Kid Icarus
This is the Kid Icarus stage. In Skyworld, the floor's crumbling construction makes it easy to shatter, giving it a more dangerous touch. The floor regenerates quickly.
[edit] Smashville
From: Animal Crossing: Wild World
Normally a nice, peaceful, and quiet place, this town is now a Smash Bros. Stage. The changing scenery from day to night (and vice versa) is determined by your Wii's internal clock. Another feature is that when you play this stage a Saturday at 8PM a live performance will take place behind the stage.
[edit] Spear Pillar
This is the place where you encountered Palkia and Dialga in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is composed of two parts: some kind of holy ground and a tunnel below it. When the "holy ground" is bluish, Dialga will appear. If it is purplish Palkia will appear.
Dialga's Effects:
- A laser beam may fall from the skies like a column of blue light.
- The stage may tilt sideways, however you will not slide downhill.
- The characters may get slower.
Palkia's Effects:
- The "holy ground" may crumble.
- A purple laser beam may project horizontally across the stage; it fires through the rocky, lower half.
- The stage may turn completely upside down, but since it is an illusion you won't be fighting on the ceiling.
- The stage may also be reversed as an illusion, making your left and right controls switched.
- Palkia may jump into the stage and attack as well.
There are three pokémon that may guest appear during a battle. These are Uxie, Mesprit, and Azlef. Sometimes neither Palkia nor Dialga will appear. Instead of them, Cresselia will appear.
Cresselia:
- The only attack she will use is Razor Wind, where she shoots curved projectiles through the stage, causing decent damage.
- How to unlock
- Beat Event #25.
[edit] Summit
From: Ice Climber (1985)
This stage is the peak of the Icicle Mountain. In this stage you will fight over the mountain until it cracks and breaks, sliding down until it reaches the sea, where a polar bear will try to sink the stage.
[edit] Wario Ware Inc.
From: WarioWare Inc.
This wacky stage, inspired by the game which shares its name, has the players not only fighting each other, but also having to contend with the stage, which changes into different WarioWare microgames that appear. Players are rewarded if they successfully complete a microgame.
[edit] Yoshi's Island
From: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
The Yoshi's Island stage has players battling in an area that changes seasons. Sometimes a Support Ghost may appear to aid you.
[edit] Melee Stages
A select number of stages are returning from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Most of the stages are already available at the start of the game, but some of them must be unlocked.
[edit] Big Blue
You will fight atop of F-Zero cars, in which the area moves to the left as the racers move to the right.
Avoid standing on the road, as that you might get KO'd, but use this to your advantage. Do a meteor smash to an opponent to make him go down to the floor and get swept away.
- How to unlock
- Play 10 Vs. matches as Captain Falcon.
[edit] Brinstar
Like Norfair's lava, this stage's lava will rise at regular intervals. Sometimes, it will rise up to the point where you'll fight at the one platform in the middle, at which you'll have to smash your opponents to the left or right.
Use meteor smashes when the lava is fully off the screen to get KOs, since the lava prevents players to get KO'd and take damage instead, or you can let them be burned and then smash them out for a KO.
[edit] Corneria
[edit] Green Greens
A stage from Melee. There are blocks here that you can destroy. Sometimes, they may be bomb blocks,so don't hit them. Also, Whispy Woods may blow you across the stage. He can also throw apples from his branches and hit you with them.
