Boxing Ring
The Boxing Ring is a stage that appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is set in a stadium with two flat areas on either side and the ring in the center, as well as a -like screen and a scrolling LED sign in the background. The stadium features a psychedelic light show that takes place in the background of the stage, including green krypton laser effects, and pyrotechnics.

While based on the  series, the stage also features a Super Smash Bros.-themed design, and its design is randomly chosen each match. The Punch-Out!! version is based on the World Circuit boxing ring from the Punch-Out!! game for Wii, while the Super Smash Bros. version of the ring is colored blue with the Super Smash Bros. symbol on the platform. In the Nintendo 3DS version, holding while selecting the Boxing Ring manually selects the Super Smash Bros. version of the stage, and holding  selects the Punch-Out!! version. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, holding down the button loads the Super Smash Bros. variant, while holding down  loads the Punch-Out!! variant.

The ropes surrounding the ring spring fighters up when jumped on, and can be used to reach the lights above the stage. However, if the lights are attacked numerous times, it will fall onto the main ring and damage anyone underneath it.

The Final Destination variant of this theme is set on an elevated boxing ring. The ropes around the ring are not present, and the overhead lights are a background object. This version of the stage also has Punch-Out!! and Super Smash Bros. variants, which can be chosen through the same method listed above.

In the Wii U version, the fighters will have a nickname on the jumbotron. For example, if the player uses Little Mac, then his nickname is "Bruiser from the Bronx". Additionally, if a character has a Final Smash in the Wii U version, the scrolling LED sign will say "Chance!" instead of "Punch-Out!!" or "Smash Bros." The same applies for getting a KO, which will say "K.O." on both the sign and the jumbotron as well as sending the match into Sudden Death, which will say "Sudden Death" on the jumbotron.

The Wii U version of Boxing Ring reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In addition, it acts as the setting for Ken and Incineroar's debut trailer, "A Clash of Flames."

Fighter nicknames
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the jumbotron in the background will occasionally display two fighters as well as nicknames for them. They are as follows:

Gaur Plain
Gaur Plain is a location in Xenoblade Chronicles in the lower area of Bionis' Leg that appears as a stage in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The stage takes place on two of the high ledges overlooking the Bionis' Leg, and consists of two main upper platforms with several smaller platforms floating underneath, over a body of water underneath the bottom boundary of the stage. Mechonis can be seen in the background. More platforms are included on the Wii U version, including two solid platforms that feature springs, which can take the player to the top of the stage. As time passes, the stage will change from day to night and back to day, like in the game of origin.

On the Wii U version of the stage, Metal Face, a Faced Mechon and recurring major antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles, may appear as a stage boss during the nighttime. He attacks players by swiping his claws and firing lasers that can destroy the platforms, causing the top platform to lower, though it is restored during the daytime. When leaving, he may also attack by flying across the stage. It is possible to defeat him by attacking him enough, which destroys him and damages any opponents nearby as he explodes. If Shulk is among the fighters, Metal Face utters special quotes directed towards him.

The Final Destination version of the stage is set on a flat, elevated platform.

Duck Hunt
Duck Hunt is an unlockable stage appearing in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It is unlocked by defeating at least one opponent in Cruel Smash mode. The stage is based upon the, taking place on the field that game is set on. The tree and bush serve as platforms. Because the stage is "4x3 fullscreen", the sides are pits. In addition, similar to the Game & Watch stages in previous games and Hanenbow in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the characters appear 2D. Duck Hunt was later released as part of a free update on September 30, 2015 for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. In the 3DS version's regular form, the stage's heads-up display is fixed to the 3DS screen as opposed to the stage itself. This is the only stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS to feature a song that does not appear in the Wii U version of the stage (in this case, Wrecking Crew Retro Medley, which is featured in Wrecking Crew instead).

Ducks from Duck Hunt fly across the screen as characters fight. They can be attacked and knocked out of the sky to add to the score on the bottom of the screen, and will occasionally drop items. When the dog briefly appears to collect the ducks, it can also be stood on as a platform. A large patch of grass may also appear on the stage, obstructing fighters behind it. When playing in 8-Player Smash, the dog and ducks do not appear.

The Omega form of the stage is set on just the field; the tree and bush are gone, and the ducks and dog also no longer appear.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the unlock match for the Duck Hunt character takes place here.

The Duck Hunt stage reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where its My Music library is now shared with Summit, Hanenbow, PictoChat 2, Balloon Fight, Living Room, Find Mii, Tomodachi Life, Wrecking Crew, Pilotwings, and Wuhu Island.

Wily Castle
Wily Castle is a stage that appears in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and a recurring location in the. The castle itself is based on its appearance from . While both versions are near-identical, the Nintendo 3DS version takes place during the day, while the Wii U version takes place at night. The main body of the stage is flat, with two floating platforms on either side, suspended beyond the body of the stage.

In the Wii U version of the stage, rails like the ones from Mega Man 2's Crash Man stage and the fourth Wily Castle stage appear around the left platform, and the platform moves along the rail. Similar to Guts Man's stage from Mega Man, these rails have gaps in them which, when the platform crosses them, cause the platform to drop temporarily until it reaches a solid rail again. There may be more than one possible rail configuration.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, platforms occasionally appear above the stage that fly back up after a while. In addition, the pendulum platforms from Bright Man's stage in Mega Man 4 occasionally appear on both sides of the main platform, and move back after a while.

At random times in both versions, the Yellow Devil appears in the background, disassembles and flies up, then descends and reassembles on the stage. When the Yellow Devil is formed, it attacks the players with its own body until it is defeated by taking a sufficient amount of damage from the players, though only its eye is vulnerable. Once defeated, the Yellow Devil explodes, and this explosion counts as an attack for the player who landed the final blow.

Wily Castle reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where hazards from both the 3DS and Wii U version make an appearance.

Super Mario Maker


In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Mario Maker was available as a downloadable stage between July 31, 2015 and the discontinuation of the Nintendo eShop service for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on March 27, 2023. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is available from the start.

Suzaku Castle
Suzaku Castle is a stage available as DLC in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It serves as Ryu's home stage, and is only available to purchase bundled with Ryu for USD$5.99 (USD$6.99 if the player purchases a bundle for both the 3DS and Wii U versions). The stage is based off the Ryu stage from the original , and is capable of holding up to eight players on both the normal and Omega forms.

Like with the original stage, Suzaku Castle is set on the rooftop of a Japanese castle. One side of this stage consists of two large platforms with a walkoff blast zone, while the other side consists of two smaller platforms, with a pit dividing each side. Only the bottom platform can be grabbed on either side of the stage. Also, on the both sides of the bottom platform on the right side are signposts with Japanese writing on it, which can be broken when characters are launched by an attack near them.

The Omega version of the stage consists of just the bottom right platform. The signposts still appear on both sides of the stage, however, and can still be broken.

Depending on the music that plays, the last 30 seconds of a match will replace it with a “pinch mode” version, similar to Street Fighter II.

Suzaku Castle reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Despite being the Street Fighter stage, neither Ryu nor Ken is fought here for their unlock battle; rather, they are fought in Battlefield and Boxing Ring respectively.

Midgar
Midgar is a massive, technologically-advanced city on the planet Gaia and a central location in . It appears as a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, bundled with the additional fighter Cloud Strife. Out of all the stages in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Midgar has the fewest amount of songs, with only two.

The Midgar stage's overall layout resembles Battlefield, with the city itself in the background. However, at various intervals in the match, Summon Materia appears on the stage, and collecting these causes one of the game's various summons to appear and cause an effect on the stage. Odin cuts the stage in two with its sword, which also launches any fighters he hits, Leviathan floods the underside of the stage, Ramuh electrifies and changes the positions of the three platforms, Ifrit moves and tilts the stage with a pillar of fire, and Bahamut ZERO uses a beam attack that strikes the city before it reaches one portion of the stage, dealing heavy damage to any fighter caught in its blast. In 8-Player Smash versions of the stage, the Summon Materia does not appear.

Midgar reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If the player does not have Challenge Pack 8 containing Sephiroth and Northern Cave, Midgar has the fewest number of possible songs to play on the stage with only two songs, although this trait is now shared with Flat Zone X. However, if the player has downloaded the pack, more songs from Final Fantasy VII are added, which can be played on Midgar.

Umbra Clock Tower
Umbra Clock Tower is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, based on the opening sequence from . The stage was released with Bayonetta herself, on February 3, 2016. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, both forms of this stage can be played with up to eight players.

The stage is a flat stage, taking place on top of the clock tower's clock as it falls down a cliffside. At various points, other pieces of the building will move on screen, temporarily providing platforms. Also at various points, the stage will enter into the realm of Purgatorio, where a number of Affinity angels can be seen in the background. The boss angels Inspired and Fortitudo also make appearances, though they have no impact on the stage. When playing with eight players, Purgatorio and the angels do not appear.

The Ω form of the stage takes place on just the falling clock, without any platforms appearing. The stage will still transition into Purgatorio at various points, and the angels still appear.

Umbra Clock Tower reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

While playing on this stage in either game, the clock face matches the current time set on the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo Switch internal clock, and moves in real time.
