==Stage overview==

The building on the left has a slanted, triangular roof. A crane in its background keeps a floating [[soft platform]] suspended over it. Occasionally, the crane activates and moves the platform: it starts almost completely over the roof, then it moves to the left until it is fully over the pit, then slighly upwards, then to the right over the building, then down to its starting position.

It also has a dark and bizarre parallel version, {{s|wikibound|Moonside}}, created by the power of the evil {{s|wikibound|Mani-Mani Statue}}. Moonside is primarily made up of neon lights and features inhabitants who behave and speak erratically. Once the Statue is defeated by Ness and [[Jeff]], Moonside disappears. While Fourside is set during the day in ''EarthBound'', it appears at night in ''Smash'', causing it to more closely resemble Moonside's darker color palette; however, it lacks the shining neon lights that make up the majority of color in Moonside.

The top of the left building in this stage resembles Fourside's {{s|wikibound|Dinosaur Museum}}. However, the museum is not a skyscraper in ''EarthBound'' and is much farther from the Monotoli Building.

==Tournament legality==

Fourside is often [[Tournament legal (SSBM)|banned]] due to the various ways in which players can camp and stall due to the large size and unusual geometry of the stage. The lack of large, flat platforms also hampers fighting between players, particularly in doubles. In addition, the UFO provides a platform that is too close to the upper [[blast line]], thus potentially causing early vertical KOs. The presence of pits between buildings gives relevant advantages to some characters, such as {{SSBM|Peach}} (who can stall indefinitely by using [[Peach Bomber]] repeatedly against the walls), while greatly crippling characters with primarily horizontal recoveries, such as {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}, who are even more susceptible than usual to early KOs from [[meteor smash]]es and [[spike]]s. The narrow pits also give an advantage to characters capable of [[Wall jump|wall jumping]] such as {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and makes recovery very difficult for {{SSBM|Ness}} should he fall between them due to the wide angle needed for [[PK Thunder]] to be used correctly, making directional [[air dodging]] his only form of recovering.

==Trivia==

*Despite its [[unlockable stage|unlockable]] status, this stage can be seen multiple times in ''Melee'' prior to its unlocking: it appears in some characters' {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} endings (such as {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}) as well as in the [[Gargantuans]] [[event]]. Additionally, the stage shows up in Captain Falcon's vignette in the [[Special Movie]].

*Due to its slipperiness mechanic, in ''Melee'', repeatedly [[wavedashing]] on the UFO can cause a huge momentum boost, benefiting characters like {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}}, who both lack a long wavedash.

*In ''Ultimate'', the inside of the Monotoli Building and the buildings right are fully modeled and textured.

*Fourside briefly appeared in the E3 2018 Direct, and in the background was a [[:File:Unused Fourside Grand Department Store.jpg|skyscraper with the text "Department" going down its facade]]; in reference to the {{s|wikibound|Grand Department Store}} in ''EarthBound''. In the final release, the skyscraper is still present; however, the text is absent.
