Announced in the [[E3]] 2001 trailer, '''Fountain of Dreams''' ({{ja|夢の泉|Yume no Izumi}}, ''Fountain of Dreams'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' which returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
Announced in the [[E3]] 2001 trailer, '''Fountain of Dreams''' ({{ja|夢の泉|Yume no Izumi}}, ''Fountain of Dreams'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' which returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


In ''Melee''’s [[All-Star Mode]] or when in his unlock battle, this stage is played on when the player faces {{SSBM|Marth}} and any of his teammates. Unusually, in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, {{SSBM|Bowser}} is fought on this stage during the giant battle, despite this being {{SSBM|Kirby}}'s stage and the abundance of {{uv|Mario}} stages. In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|King Dedede}} is fought here for his unlocking battle.

On the bottom of the stage there is a solid pillar which characters can [[wall jump]] on. It is not possible to pass underneath the stage due to this pillar.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
Of particular note is the stage's artistic design, which some players consider one of the most beautiful in the game.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is suspended in the air, and it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are based on the ones in the normal form and are stationary.

===Hazards Off===
With hazards turned off in ''Ultimate'', the left and right soft platforms do not move. This is similar to the stage's Battlefield form, though the pillar underneath remains.

This stage is loosely based on the {{s|wikirby|Fountain of Dreams}} located on {{s|wikirby|Planet Popstar}} in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Adventure}}'' and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}''{{'}}s ''{{s|wikirby|Milky Way Wishes}}''. It is powered by the [[Star Rod]] (which is absent from the fountain itself in ''Smash'' due to its reoccuring role as an item) and gives good dreams to the inhabitants of {{s|wikirby|Dream Land}}. In this stage, the overall design of the Fountain of Dreams and its surroundings are different than how they appear in either game; however, this stage would later become the basis for how the fountain and surrounding area appear in future ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' games after ''Melee'''s release, such as in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land}}'', ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star Ultra}}'', and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Fighters Deluxe}}''.

In ''Kirby's Adventure'', the Fountain of Dreams is where {{s|wikirby|Kirby}} fought and defeated {{s|wikirby|King Dedede}} after he stole and broke the Star Rod into seven pieces. Kirby then restored the Star Rod and put it back into the fountain; however, this freed the evil [[Nightmare]], a dark creature that corrupted the fountain, which King Dedede had sealed away by breaking the Star Rod. Afterward, Kirby fought and defeated Nightmare using the Star Rod. In ''Kirby Super Star''{{'}}s ''Milky Way Wishes'', there are multiple Fountains of Dreams on Popstar's neighboring planets; Kirby awakens them in order to summon the {{s|wikirby|Galactic Nova}} to grant a wish.

Line 52: Line 40:
Fountain of Dreams benefits characters who gain safer recovery mixups due to the ability to wall jump and/or the very low position of the lower blast zone relative to the stage, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}. It also benefits characters who have largely horizontal KO options but are more vulnerable to being KOed off the top, such as {{SSBM|Peach}}, due to the high ceiling and narrow side blast zones. Fountain of Dreams hinders characters who rely greatly on precise movement, as the moving platforms can mess up the timing of their [[wavedash]]ing or [[waveland]]ing, and the small size of the base stage prevents them from utilizing their [[dash dance]] to the fullest potential. This stage is considered excellent for {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBM|Marth}}, as they realize all of the above advantages of the stage; Marth, in particular, can control space much more effectively due to the small stage size. It is considered {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s worst stage, and also one of {{SSBM|Fox}}'s and {{SSBM|Falco}}'s weakest stages, although some top Fox players do not mind this stage.

Despite its balance in singles matches, the Fountain of Dreams is often [[banned stage|banned]] in [[doubles]] tournaments, due to its small size for doubles matches and the water reflection effects potentially causing framerate drops, especially when the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} are present. Framerate drops disrupt patterns that rely on knowing exact [[frame]] timing, which are commonly used by experienced players.

===''Ultimate''===
==Trophy information==
Fountain of Dreams, including its [[Battlefield form]] and [[Ω form]], is usually banned in all modes due to framerate issues, particularly with [[Wario Bike]] turning around on the water, which disrupts patterns that are based on exact frame timing. Also, with hazards off, the base stage is considered to be too similar to [[Battlefield]]. Most of the framerate issues were fixed in ''Ultimate'' as of version 8.0.0, meaning the Battlefield and Ω forms are usually no longer banned, though the status of the regular version remains unchanged and a few issues persist with Wario Bike, leaving legality up to the tournament organizer most of the time.

==Update history==
''This mystical fountain in Dream Land uses the power of the Star Rod to create a gush of pleasant dreams that flow like water. The dreams then become a fine mist and drift over the land, bringing peaceful rest to one and all. It's been confirmed that there are identical facilities on other planets near Pop Star.''

==Teeter drop==
[[File:Teeter-drop.gif|thumb|{{SSBM|Marth}} performing a teeter drop.]]
In ''Melee'', the '''teeter drop''' (or T-drop) is a technique specific to Fountain of Dreams. It can be performed by [[teeter]]ing on either edge of the stage, then turning around and pressing shield. This will cause the character to [[edge slip]] and quickly grab the ledge.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'', the reflection in this stage's water is based on the lower-resolution models also used in [[hoop damage|offscreen bubbles]]. These models cannot show changes in facial expressions such as characters blinking. This can best be seen by using {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Rest]] or by crouching with {{SSBM|Pichu}}.
*In ''Melee'', the reflection in this stage's water is based on the lower-resolution models also used in [[hoop damage|offscreen bubbles]]. As a result, it cannot show changes in facial expressions such as characters blinking. This can best be seen by using {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Rest]] or by crouching with {{SSBM|Pichu}}.
*In ''Ultimate'', there are water physics present on the stage. These include splashes, projectile reflections, and proper reflections for every single move. Characters being [[Screen KO]]'d can also be seen for a brief moment.
*The [[Bowser Challenge]] relies on this stage's small size to provide its difficulty. (This may also be part of the reason why Giant Bowser is fought here in ''Melee''{{'}}s Classic Mode - to make him harder to avoid and to give his attacks more effective reach.)
**However, the reflections will disappear if [[8-Player Smash|five or more characters are present]].
*The Fountain of Dreams appears as a stage in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Fighters Deluxe}}'', making it one of six stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, with the others being the [[Pyrosphere]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Midgar]], [[Suzaku Castle]], and [[Dracula's Castle]].
*The [[Moon]], [[Nikki]], and the [[Squid Sisters]] cannot be summoned by [[Assist Trophy]] on this stage. In particular, Nikki cannot be summoned due to the dark background obscuring her drawings.
