The stages also seem to be slightly larger in size than before. None of these stages will be used as a character's [[home stage]] in [[Classic Mode]] or [[All-Star Mode]].

-Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a majority of the playable stages in these games are returning stages. Because of this, they are grouped with the new stages, and they fo not have any special distinction. In ''Smash 4'', past stages can be used as [[home stage]]s in [[All-Star Mode]] (and [[Classic Mode]] in {{for3ds}}, while the concept is absent altogether in ''Ultimate''
+Returning stages no longer have any specific in-game name (though in ''Smash 4'', they were referred to one time as '''Familiar Stages''' in the [[Nintendo_Direct#Super_Smash_Bros._Direct_(April_8,_2014)|April 2014 Direct]]). In ''Smash 4'', new and returning stages are freely mixed on the stage selection screens of both versions with no visual distinction, while in ''Ultimate'' there is a trivial distinction as stages are sorted in chronological order. In all of these games, returning stages can now be used in Classic Mode.
+==Trivia==
+*Somewhat notably, almost all non-DLC past stages across both versions of ''Smash 4'' appeared in the directly-preceding game, ''Brawl'', with [[Kongo Jungle 64]] in ''for Wii U'' being the sole exception.
+*[[Temple]] appears to be the only past stage in ''for Wii U'' to have received a significant graphical upgrade, possibly due to an intention to promote it for [[8-Player Smash]]. During the [[Nintendo_Direct#Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U:_50-Fact_Extravaganza_(October_23,_2014)|50-Fact Extravaganza video]], it was presented alongside 8-Player Smash, [[The Great Cave Offensive]], and [[Palutena's Temple]] in a segment about how the latter two stages were designed to show off the Wii U's then-new HD capabilities during 8-player battles.
