Battlefield (戦場, Battlefield) is a stage in both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. It was the very first stage revealed for both games during the Nintendo Direct of E3 2013. A bigger version, Big Battlefield, is also available in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U only.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Duck Hunt's unlocking battle is fought here due to their stage being added to the game as free downloadable content in update 1.1.1, which released in September 2015, a year after the game was available.
Stage overview[edit]
Like its predecessors, Battlefield consists of a central, solid platform, with ledges at its sides that can be grabbed. Above this platform, there are three more soft platforms, arranged in a triangular layout. In the same manner as the Battlefield stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the background shifts between the time of day, to show a dawn, day, evening and night appearance.
Visually, Battlefield differs between the two versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, there are trees, a floating archway with stairs, and pillars of rock. The stage houses a pool of water, which drains off the front of the stage. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the stage is surrounded by floating islands with ruins.
Ω form[edit]
For Battlefield's Ω form, the soft platforms are removed, and the length of the stage is increased slightly to match that of Final Destination. The time change cycle is still present.

Trivia[edit]
- In the Developer Direct video from E3 2013, Battlefield in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U can be seen in a few instances without its three floating platforms during Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer's sections. This was later shown to be Battlefield Ω, which would not be officially revealed until the Smash Direct.
- In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Trophy Rush stage and the All-Star Rest Area share their background with Battlefield.
