'''Green Hill Zone''' ({{ja|グリーンヒルゾーン|Gurīnhiruzōn}}, ''Green Hill Zone'') is the stage that represents [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{for3ds}}. It is unlocked after Sonic himself is unlocked, and also the stage where he is fought for his unlocking battle. The stage in the Nintendo 3DS version may be referring to, or hinting towards Green Hill Zone in Sonic Generations for the 3DS. | |||

The ground of the middle part is susceptible to attacks, and chunks of it crumble away if they sustain enough damage, transforming the center of the stage into a pit. The broken parts regenerate over time: players below it when this happens will fall through it. | ||

They are normally blue, but when attacked they turn red and start spinning: in this state they are able to hurt players other than the original attacker. They only deal 10% damage, but cause decent [[knockback]] with KO capabilities. After a few seconds, spinning lampposts stop and can be attacked again. They disappear on their own after a while. | ||

=== | ==Tournament legality== | ||
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''=== | |||
On March 17th 2009, the [[BBR]] announced that the stage should be banned, as opposed to its former status as a counterpick, and the stage has since been universally banned in tournament play. Many players take issue with Green Hill Zone for its extremely campy nature: the most effective strategy when fighting here is to camp the signposts, which have a centralising effect due to their significant defensive power for an already highly defensive game, can severely elongate the flow of the match. Another major issue with the stage is its deep slope design, which, besides being awkward to fight on, can create a [[cave of life]] effect since players can [[DI]] and [[tech]] into the ground. Furthermore, both sides of the stage have permanent walk-off edges, favoring [[chain throw]]s or simply camping the edge; the frequent absence of a lower blast-line also negates any off-stage play. | |||

This stage originates from the eponymous level in the first ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog|1991 video game}}'' game; it later appeared as an Easter egg in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Adventure 2}}'', its first 3D appearance, and as the opening stage of ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Generations}}''. It is depicted as a lush paradise, with many plants and a peculiar checkered ground design. Some parts of the ground, often located at the edge of cliffs, crumble when stepped on. | |||
Green Hill Zone | Shuttle loops, which have to be ran through by building up enough speed, first appeared in Green Hill Zone, and became a prominent feature in later ''Sonic'' games. | ||
Item Boxes are another recurring element in ''Sonic'' games: they display a picture depicting the item they contain. If the image is Sonic's head, they grant the player an extra life. | |||
Throughout ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' several lampposts, which act as checkpoints, appear. They are activated when the player runs past them: when this happens, the blue orb on their top turns red and spins for a short time. | |||
The characters which appear in the loop are: Miles "Tails" Prower, Sonic's friend who first appeared in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog 2}}''; Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic's rival who made his debut in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog 3}}''; and Silver the Hedgehog, who debuted in the 2006 ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog|2006 video game}}''. | |||

* | *When playing as [[Pokémon Trainer]], he stands on top of the loop. | ||
*The bridge will sometimes slow down attacks like [[Spin Dash]] or [[Wario Bike]]. This is rather ironic considering that, in the ''Sonic'' series, a player would ordinarily use the Spin Dash in an area with this stage's layout in order to quickly accelerate to max speed. | |||
*A mistake currently exists in the Spanish and United Kingdom versions of the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!|DOJO!!]] of this stage's page: instead of displaying the ''Sonic'' universe icon, Sonic's head's silhouette, it has the symbol of the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' universe]], which is a mushroom.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/es/stages/stage27.html]</ref> | *A mistake currently exists in the Spanish and United Kingdom versions of the [[Smash Bros.
