The [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set far above the ground overlooking the field. The main platform resembles the ring of the normal form, but resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are metallic and are unique to this form. The invisible walls of the normal form are removed in keeping with the stages of their respective forms. The character cameos remain present in both forms, appearing in the background of the main platform. The additional effects that occur after a KO remain in both forms. | The [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set far above the ground overlooking the field.

Rather than being a stage based on Terry, such as his iconic Transcontinental Railroad stage, King of Fighters Stadium is an original design based on the various arenas from ''The King of Fighters'' series. Its overall open-field design, muted metallic tone, and design of the stands along with the jumbotron bearing the ''King of Fighters'' logo, most prominently resembles a mixture of the Stadium stage from ''XII'' and the Antonov Super Arena from ''XIV''. However, the bold green design of this logo is completely original to ''Smash'', and the circular design of the main platform appears closest to Kagura Stadium from '''96'', including the "''KOF''" logo in the center, which has a [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash'' logo]] in place of the "''O''". While these stadium stages in ''The King of Fighters'' series all appear to be dedicated venues for fighting tournaments, the one seen in ''Smash'' is an adapted American football stadium. | Rather than being a stage based on Terry, such as his iconic Transcontinental Railroad stage, King of Fighters Stadium is an original design based on the various arenas from ''The King of Fighters'' series.

"King of Fighters" is a recurring tournament in SNK's gaming universe. The concept was first introduced in ''Fatal Fury: King of Fighters'', although canonically, the first time a King of Fighters tournament was ever held was in ''Art of Fighting 2''. Recently, the tournament's most prominent appearances are in ''The King of Fighters'' series, which was based on the idea developed in both series, as well as Ryo Sakazaki's appearance as a secret extra opponent in ''Fatal Fury Special''. | "King of Fighters" is a recurring tournament in SNK's gaming universe.
