Saffron City

The Saffron City stage

Saffron City (Yamabuki City in Japan) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. and will be returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The stage is set upon the Silph Co. building and is the home stage of Pikachu and Jigglypuff (with the unlock match for the latter taking place here). The stage has the most features of any stage in the game. On the right side of the arena, there are floating platforms. On the left side of the arena, there is a door leading down the stairs, but when one tries to go down, a random Pokémon will jump out and attack the player. Here are all of the Pokémon that appear in the building:

	Name	Attack	Description
	Venusaur	Razor Leaf	Venusaur uses Razor Leaf to hit every character in front of it.
	Charmander	Flamethrower	Charmander breathes fire at other players.
	Electrode	Explosion	Electrode flashes for a while and then uses Explosion to instantly knockout anyone in its blast radius.
	Chansey	Softboiled	Chansey uses Softboiled to dispense eggs; they are identical to capsules.
	Porygon	Tackle	Porygon suddenly charges out of the building and causes high damage to players hit by it.

Trivia

• The Silph Co. logo is spelled as "Silf" in the Japanese version.
  • Also, the banner on the left side is slightly altered between both versions. The Japanese banner has an example of Engrish in which it reads "Got a catch 'em all!".
• The city seems to be modeled after the Pokémon anime, as the games' cities and towns are not as detailed (this includes major cities such as Celadon or Goldenrod).
• Saffron City is the only stage in Super Smash Bros. that did not return in or have a similar stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
