'''Duel Zone''' ({{ja|デュエルゾーン|Dyueruzōn}}, ''Duel Zone''),<ref>[[Smabura-Ken]] [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Map.html Battle Field]</ref> also known as '''Battlefield''' or the '''Fighting Polygon Stage''',{{fact}} is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', home to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] in the [[1P Game]].

The name "Battlefield" is retroactively applied to this stage, as redesigns of this stage that have appeared in later games in the series share that name, and no name in other languages was widely-known before the Battlefield name was popularized. However, this stage's official name in Japanese, {{ja|デュエルゾーン|Dyueruzōn}}, ''Duel Zone'', doesn't match the name for Battlefield in the Japanese versions of ''Melee'' and later games, all of which use the name {{ja|戦場|Senjō}}, ''Battlefield''. In addition, the music for this stage appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' under the title "Duel Zone", while event tournaments [[Hailing from the '90s]] and [[The Year Is 200X]] each feature one of {{SSBU|Battlefield}} and {{SSBU|Final Destination}} but not the other (despite both debuting in the 1999 release ''Super Smash Bros.'' before being selectable stages in the 2001 release ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''), suggesting its English name as also dissimilar from its successors.

==Stage overview==

[[File:SSB64 BattlefieldVSHack.png|thumb|left|Duel Zone in a hacked VS Game.]]

Like its successors, it features a large main platform with three overhanging [[soft platform]]s. It's overall smaller than the ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' versions, and also lacks ''Melee''{{'}}s infamous ledges on its main platform. It also has a higher ceiling than its ''Melee'' [[Battlefield (SSBM)|counterpart]]. The only way to use the stage for a multiplayer match is through hacking.

==Tournament legality==

The stage is generally [[Banned stage|banned]] in competitive play: besides the fact that it needs a hacking device to be accessed, there is also a [[glitch]] where characters are automatically [[KO]]'d if they [[Smash DI]] into the stage. However, some tournaments that use specialized rulesets (such as {{Trn|GENESIS 5}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}) allow the stage as a legal counterpick stage for doubles, provided that the glitch has been fixed.

 

==Trivia==

*This is the only Battlefield that is not a playable stage in [[VS Mode]] without hacking.
