'''Hollow Bastion''' ({{ja|ホロウバスティオン|Horou Basution}}, ''Hollow Bastion'') is a [[downloadable content (SSBU)|downloadable]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', based on the location of the same name from the {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} series. It is the home stage of {{SSBU|Sora}}, and is bundled with him as part of Challenger Pack 11.

The stage is primarily a floating, traveling platform, with one extra platform on top, that soars in the skies around the outside of the Hollow Bastion castle.

When time, stocks, or health are running low, the stage transforms into '''Dive to the Heart''' ({{ja|ダイブ・トゥ・ハート|Daibu tu Hāto}}, ''Dive to Heart''), which keeps the same layout, but features multiple intricate designs in the background, based on the platforms themselves. One of seven artistic designs, based on the platforms in Dive to the Heart, will appear in the background, with cameos from different characters and objects:

*Sora's design has Riku, Kairi, a Paopu Fruit, and a raft.

*Riku's design has Sora, Naminé, and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.

*Roxas's design has Axel, Xion, and Riku, as he appears in ''358/2 Days''.

*Xion's design has Axel, Saïx, Xemnas, and Sora.

*Terra's design has Ventus, Aqua, and the Wayfinders they each possess.

*Ventus's design exclusively has Wayfinders, uniquely lacking any other characters.

*Aqua's design has Terra, Ventus, Vanitas, and Xehanort.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===

The main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is identical to how it appears in the normal form but resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form also resembles the floating soft platform of the normal form.

Hollow Bastion serves as the penultimate world in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', traveled to after visiting {{iw|khwiki|Neverland}}. After a brief encounter with {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}, Sora loses the Keyblade, {{iw|khwiki|Donald Duck}}, and {{iw|khwiki|Goofy}}, due to their mission being to stay with the wielder of the Keyblade. With help from {{iw|khwiki|Beast}}, Sora travels through the giant castle to make his way to Riku, and ultimately fights and defeats him after the Keyblade returns back to Sora after both a heartfelt speech and Donald and Goofy rejoin him. The group travels further to confront {{iw|khwiki|Maleficent}}, though after emerging victorious, Riku, now possessed by {{iw|khwiki|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness}}, stabs Maleficent with the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade of heart}}, unlocking the darkness within her. Sora once again faces Maleficent, now transformed into a dragon, and again emerges victorious. The trio finally confront Riku at the Grand Hall, where Riku reveals to Sora that {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}}'s heart is residing in him. After the two have an intense battle, Sora, realizing he is unable to lock Hollow Bastion's keyhole without all seven Princesses of Heart, stabs himself with the Keyblade of heart to free Kairi's heart. This causes Sora to fall to darkness, and Kairi, Donald, and Goofy leave him for gone, until they realize that he was turned into a {{iw|khwiki|Shadow}} and Kairi is able to return him to normal by a flash of light. The four escape Hollow Bastion, return to {{iw|khwiki|Traverse Town}} to request help from {{iw|khwiki|Cid}}, and return to Hollow Bastion to seal the keyhole and prevent Ansem from destroying the castle with a {{iw|khwiki|Behemoth}}.

Hollow Bastion returns as a location in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the efforts of {{iw|khwiki|Squall Leonhart}}, {{iw|khwiki|Yuffie}}, [[Aerith]], Cid, and {{iw|khwiki|Merlin}} (forming the {{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee}}) helping return the town to how it was prior to the events of the previous games. The location serves as an important plot device, with undoubtedly the most important event being {{iw|khwiki|King Mickey Mouse}} reuniting with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The three reveal to him that, within {{iw|khwiki|Space Paranoids}}, {{iw|khwiki|Tron}} can access the DTD dataspace with a password. Mickey, realizing that they can find where {{iw|khwiki|Ansem the Wise}} is, gives them the password. The three, joining Tron, are able to find the data, and copy it over, albeit in a very scrambled state. Shortly afterwards, they are alerted by an explosion, and, defying Mickey's order to search for Riku and Kairi, join the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, the {{iw|khwiki|Gullwings}}, [[Cloud]], [[Tifa]], and even {{iw|khwiki|Stitch}} in fighting off an immense wave of {{iw|khwiki|Heartless}}. Later, after Sora helps Tron defeat the {{iw|khwiki|Master Control Program}}, Tron gains access to the main computers of Hollow Bastion, and Ansem the Wise's full data, reminding everyone there of the town's original name: Radiant Garden. Radiant Garden's history is witnessed in ''Birth by Sleep'', where it is fully seen in its original state as a city of light.

Dive to the Heart serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials. In the numbered ''Kingdom Hearts'' titles, the player learns basic combat and game controls here.

*Many Dive to the Heart station designs have been changed from their original appearances for ''Ultimate''. This is likely due to Disney's notorious stance on copyright, as all the changes remove explicit references to other Disney properties. All of these changes are also seen in the 15th anniversary versions of the stations used in merchandise.<ref>[https://twitter.com/sorceted/status/1445431424341921792?s=20]</ref>

**Sora's is missing images of Donald Duck and Goofy. They have been replaced with icons of a raft and paopu fruit from the "Sora's Mind" station from ''Birth by Sleep''.

**Riku's is missing the image of King Mickey. He has instead been replaced with art of Sora originating from the cover of ''Re:Chain of Memories''.

*Hollow Bastion is the only stage to outright transform into another as part of the stage itself (unlike other transforming stages like [[Castle Siege]] and [[Reset Bomb Forest]], which are still considered to be the same stage).

**Additionally, said condition is time running low, being on one stock, or having low stamina, meaning this stage is also the only one to do something besides changing music when this occurs.
