'''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.  
'''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 normally crashes the game, though another hack can force the game to present the stage. 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. Unusually, the stage lacks any [[blast line]]s, making it impossible to be KOed on the stage, and it is the one of two stages in the entire series to lack them, the other being the Test Room in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
 
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==
The purpose for DUMMY is unknown; while [[Test (stage)|TEST]] has been speculated to be programming tests, DUMMY has nothing to show what it was used for. It has been speculated, however, that the stage is used for the victory screens, the background of the debug menu, and the start of the [[E3]] trailer of ''Brawl'', among other theories.
*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.
