'''Miiverse''' is a stage in {{forwiiu}}. It was revealed during the [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza]] on October 23rd, 2014, and added to the game in [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-Wii_U)#1.0.8|version 1.0.8]] on June 14th, 2015. It featured a unique stage element: user-created Miiverse posts drawn in support of a particular fighter would appear in the background. Due to the discontinuation of the Miiverse service, these posts no longer appear as of November 8th, 2017.  

Selected messages created by users appeared in the background, intended to cheer the fighters on. Users were able to post drawings for each character in dedicated Miiverse communities, which would then appear when that character participated in a match. The post's border color corresponded to the slot of the character the post was cheering for. During the results screen, players had the option to send a post directly to Miiverse community to the character who won the match. This prompt occurred even if Miiverse was disabled on the system, but would not appear if playing with [[amiibo]], seemingly due to the inability to suspend the game while amiibo are in use.

This stage was not available when playing against others online, making it the only stage with that restriction. When playing locally, this stage can be played even with the Wii U not connected to the Internet. Doing so will cause no messages to appear; this was the case even when the service was active.

Miiverse is either considered legal as a purely cosmetic Battlefield alternative or banned due to its redundancy as a semi-clone of said stage. When the service was active and the Wii U was connected to the internet, the posts in the background could be distracting for players and may contain inappropriate material. However, with Miiverse now closed, no posts will appear in the background, helping the stage's case for legality.

*Miiverse and [[Pirate Ship]] are the only downloadable stages in {{forwiiu}} not available on {{for3ds}}.

**Miiverse is also the first stage in the series to be added through a free update, followed by [[Duck Hunt (stage)|Duck Hunt]] in {{for3ds}} and [[Small Battlefield]] in ''Ultimate''.

*Any [[snapshot]]s and [[replay]]s that were taken on this stage could not be [[share]]d, even before Miiverse shut down, nor could snapshots taken there be painted on.

*If a [[Nintendo 3DS]] is being used as a controller, the stage becomes unavailable.

*Miiverse is one of five stages from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' not to return in ''Ultimate'', the others being [[Pyrosphere]], [[Woolly World]], [[Jungle Hijinxs]] and [[Orbital Gate Assault]].

**Miiverse is also the only downloadable stage in ''SSB4'' (including returning stages) to not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The exclusion is due to the discontinuation of the Miiverse service (and its lack of inclusion on the Nintendo Switch) reducing the stage to a basic clone of [[Battlefield]] and therefore redundant.

**If Miiverse is considered tournament legal after the service shut down, this would also be the only tourney legal stage to not appear in ''Ultimate''.

*Due to the shutdown of the Miiverse service preventing posts from appearing in the background, Miiverse is the only versus mode stage in ''Smash'' history to no longer have all of its features function properly.
