Editing All-Star Rest Area

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y|ssbb=y|ssb4=y}}

 

The '''All-Star Rest Area''' ({{ja|オールスター休憩所|Ōrusutā Kyūkeisho}}, ''All-Star Rest Stop'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' which appears in the [[All-Star Mode|All-Star]] and [[Boss Battles]] modes. Players appear in the stage between each of the game's fights to regroup before the next bout. The stage contains a teleporter which brings players to the next level, and also has up to three [[Heart Container]]s  (or six if playing in co-op mode) which heal all of the player's damage, instead of the usual 100%.

The ''Melee'' version of the teleporter is a sort of hybrid between the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' universe]] and the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' universe]]. The area consists of a path winding through what appears to be a lightly forested park. A resting area with a bench and fountain, complete with large lights, can be seen in the background.

 

 

Due to a glitch, if the player enters the teleporter after picking up one of the Heart Containers, their damage will remain at the percentage it was at when they entered, regardless of whether or not the player has finished healing. The player should wait until their damage is reduced to 0% before entering the teleporter. This glitch was fixed in subsequent installments.

The All-Star Rest Area is available through ''Melee'''s {{SSBM|debug menu}} (known internally as '''HEAL'''), and it can be used as a stage for versus battles. However, the stage's design renders it impossible to KO opponents. Furthermore, if player 1 touches the teleporter, either the screen will fade to black as usual and [[game crash|freeze the game]], or the match concludes.

Characters can move out of the screen in the All-Star Rest Area but will not suffer [[Hoop damage]].

The stage reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in both the All-Star and [[Boss Battles]] modes. In ''Brawl'', it is a dimly lit cave where light shines down onto the teleporter from a hole in the ceiling. There are two kinds of flowers in this cave: a small one resembling a clover whose bloom glows white under the character portraits; and a large flower, resembling either an orchid or a lily, glowing a translucent indigo on the right wall, above the Heart Containers. Note that playing All-Star or Boss Battles with two players will result in there being 6 Heart Containers instead of 3. Trophies can again spawn in the area.

Like its ''Melee'' counterpart, it can be played through hacking, but once Player 1 or 2 goes into the teleporter, the stage goes pitch black. {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s icon will always be in the background when hacked (because he is the first to be fought in All-Star mode), despite the fact that this not possible in actual gameplay. No one can be KOed, as the stage is completely enclosed. The Heart Containers can be used.

The concept of a resting area between fights with optional healing items comes from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', with both ''[[The Great Cave Offensive]]'' and The Arena sub-games as possible inspirations.

''The Great Cave Offensive'' features special rooms which allow [[Kirby]] to save the game. They contain a button that spawns a [[Maxim Tomato]] to fully restore not only Kirby's health, but also his partner's if he has one. The mode also involves Kirby collecting items from other video game series (including {{uv|Zelda}} and {{uv|F-Zero}}), which is similar to how All-Star involves collecting character trophies from other series. The music that plays in ''Melee'''s All-Star Rest Area is also a remix of the music played in the Save Cottages in ''The Great Cave Offensive'' from ''Kirby Super Star''.

The Arena, however, works more similarly to ''Smash Bros.'''s All-Star Mode. It is a boss rush, where Kirby has to fight the bosses in the game one by one. At the end of each fight he is transported to an area which contains three Maxim Tomatoes - which, if collected, in subsequent visits become apples and then disappear - as well as two random [[:wikirby:Copy Ability|copy abilities]], a picture of the upcoming opponent and a teleporter to the next battle. Notably, in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' the original Arena background music was replaced with the Save Point theme.

*Prior to ''SSB4'', the player could still accumulate damage in the area using moves which are capable of damaging the user, whether it was from [[recoil damage]] like from Roy's [[Flare Blade]] or damaging hitboxes like Snake's [[Hand Grenade]]s. ''Smash 4'' negates all damage done to the player in the All-Star Rest Area.

*In ''Melee'', [[Mr. Game & Watch]] could heal himself in the All-Star Rest Area by spawning fruit if he rolled a 7 with [[Judge]], making him the only character in the game with this capability.

*Using {{SSB4|Wario}}'s [[Chomp]] to consume any of the healing items in ''Smash 4's'' All-Star Rest Area will not heal him by 1.5 times the item's normal healing power like they do in combat.

*Interestingly, the portraits of {{SSB4|Lucas}}, {{SSB4|Roy}} (as pictured above), and {{SSB4|Ryu}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' use their in-game models rather than their official renders.

**This is also the case for {{SSB4|Corrin}} by looking at the in-game files, but his portrait never gets used due to being one of the opponents fought in the first stage.
