The main body of Pyrosphere is a fairly long platform with a metallic surface mounted on top of a tall metal shaft extending down below the surface of the lava. Above it floats four metallic platforms sporting green glowing strips wrapped around them. The lava appears pouring in the background, but does not affect the playing area. | The main body of Pyrosphere is a fairly long platform with a metallic surface mounted on top of a tall metal shaft extending down below the surface of the lava.

[[Ridley]] | [[Ridley]] will appear periodically to attack players and destroy floating platforms. He can increase his strength from absorbing energy from the tanks under the ledges, which blackens his skin in the process. If he receives enough damage, he will become an ally to the last attacker. Defeating him counts as a point in [[Time]]d matches. | ||
[[FG II-Graham]]s, [[Joulion]]s, and {{b|Zero|Metroid}}s appear as enemies on the stage as well. FG II-Graham units are mobile flying turrets that fire straight shots when hit. Joulions are floating enemies that inflate and explode after being attacked. The weighty Zeros crawl slowly on the ground, and can be picked up and thrown. | [[FG II-Graham]]s, [[Joulion]]s, and {{b|Zero|Metroid}}s appear as enemies on the stage as well.

Attacking Ridley with the [[Dragoon]] when he is about to dive onto the stage will make him function in the background instead of the foreground. However, his fireballs remain potent, and he can still destroy the floating platforms. In this state, he can only be defeated by the use of Dragoons. | Attacking Ridley with the [[Dragoon]] when he is about to dive onto the stage will make him function in the background instead of the foreground.

*Added 8-player mode version of the stage (already had an 8-player Ω form). This version of Pyrosphere removes Ridley and other stage hazards. Additionally, there is no flowing lava in the background, even though the lava flows in the 8-player Ω form. | |||

*The specifics of Ridley's role on Pyrosphere was withheld from [[Miiverse]] over a year after its announcement on August 20, 2013, when [[Masahiro Sakurai]] [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAABnUYnWb9pUTQ revealed] the stage with a caption stating "An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…" On the April 8, 2014 [[Nintendo Direct]], Sakurai | *The specifics of Ridley's role on Pyrosphere was withheld from [[Miiverse]] over a year after its announcement on August 20, 2013, when [[Masahiro Sakurai]] [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAABnUYnWb9pUTQ revealed] the stage with a caption stating "An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…" On the April 8, 2014 [[Nintendo Direct]], Sakurai showed a clip of Pikachu being chased by Ridley on the stage - although only his shadow, wings, and tail could be seen - implying that he was set to appear on the stage. Ridley was eventually shown and his role as a stage hazard was ultimately detailed in the October 2014 {{forwiiu}} 50-Fact Extravaganza. | ||
