Editing DUMMY

'''DUMMY''' is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' which can only be found via [[Action Replay]]. When activated in [[Debug Mode]], it normally crashes the game, though another hack can force the game to present the stage. It merely consists of empty space, save for a lone invisible platform in the center that can only be seen using the debug menu.

A somewhat popular technique used in DUMMY is to add [[blast line]]s, which the stage normally does not have, and then activate an infinite-double-jumping hack, allowing for a midair fight. Attacks, however, such as Kirby's [[Final Cutter]], will freeze the game when performed off the edge.

The purpose for DUMMY remains unknown to this day; while other stages, such as [[Test (stage)|TEST]] and [[IceTop]] were most likely used for programming testing, DUMMY has nothing to show what it was used for. It has been speculated, however, that the stage is used for the victory screens, or the background of the debug menu, along with the screen that Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu ran across in the first trailer for SSBB before the screen changed to Battlefield.

-'''DUMMY''' is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' which can only be found via [[Action Replay]]. When activated in the {{SSBM|debug menu}}, it crashes the game because the game does not specify a pointer for background music. This can be rectified through [[Debug menu (SSBM)/Codes#DUMMY crash prevent|another hack]] that presumably forces the game to present the stage without background music. DUMMY is primarily composed of empty space over a black background, save for a lone invisible platform in the center that can only be seen using the debug menu.
-Contrary to popular belief, the stage does have a standard set of [[blast line]]s, although they are located extremely far from the stage's center; as a result, the game will [[crash]] before players come in contact with them, due to the game being unable to process the character's position on the screen.

-While other unplayable stages, such as [[TEST]] or [[ICETOP]], were likely used for programming tests or acted as potential ideas for playable stages, DUMMY's purpose is unknown and no information within the games suggests what its intended purpose was. It has been speculated, however, that the stage is used for the [[results screen]].

-==Trivia==
-*It is actually possible to play on DUMMY outside of the debug menu, but the player needs the hack mentioned above, or the game will crash. To do this, one must simply do the [[Master Hand glitch]] on the [[Target Test]] menu. The reason it loads DUMMY is because the game assigns a stage ID to each character to load their Target Test. Master Hand, however, was never intended to be playable, so the game sets his stage ID to 0, which just happens to be DUMMY's ID.
