'''Moray Towers''' ({{ja|タチウオパーキング|Tachiuo Pākingu}}, ''[[wikipedia:Largehead hairtail|Beltfish]] Parking'') is a {{uv|Splatoon}} series stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. {{SSBU|Inkling}} is fought here for their unlock battle.

Moray Towers has multiple floors to it, each at an angle. When the player runs towards a floor, they go on the downwards floor. The floors also act as [[soft platform]]s, allowing for multiple levels of fighting.

[[Judd]] and {{s|inkipedia|Li'l Judd}} can be seen sleeping in the background of the stage. When a player is KO'd, they will jump into the air. When only one minute remains in a [[time]] match or when two players are left and one is on their last [[stock]], they will hold up victory flags from ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon}}'' and ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'', to identify which player/team is in the lead, but if player slots are skipped outside of a team battle the flags may be miscolored (e.g. if during a two player match P3 is against P4, the flags will be red and blue instead of yellow for P3 and green for P4). [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] players use the player slot they occupy (so an AI set in player 1 will have a red flag for example). If two players/teams are in the lead, they will hold up a flag for each one, but if more than two are in the lead, they will not hold up any flags.

 

 

 

 

 

===Ω form and Battlefield form===

Moray Towers is a stage from ''Splatoon'', and was one of only two stages from the original game to be available at launch in ''Splatoon 2''. Like in ''Smash Bros.'', the stage has escalating paths for players to cover in ink - one on each side, for each team -  with a main area at the bottom for combat. The spawn points are located at the top of the stage, and players have to work their way down if they want to return to the forefront. Unlike the layout in ''Smash Bros.'', the paths are not strictly on top of one another, instead forming a valley-like shape. Additionally, the stage in general has ''Splatoon 2'''s more saturated color scheme.

 

 

Moray Towers is banned due to the very long vertical zigzag of soft platforms as well as the wall on the corner of the stage being a cave of life in addition to allowing for very early KOs if the tech is missed. This layout encourages camping and frequent use of anti air moves with characters such as {{SSBU|Snake}} being able to effectively camp below the opponent with little risk. Inkling is also able to use Splattershot to ink the platforms, and while the effect is purely aesthetic, it grants players the unfair advantage of concealing themselves easier.

* Whenever the [[Match timer|timer]] reaches thirty seconds, a shortened version of the ''Splatoon'' music track "Now or Never!" will play. The version of "Now or Never!" used depends on which song is playing on the stage: regular songs from ''Splatoon'' use the original version, "Ink Me Up" uses the Splatfest version, regular songs from ''Splatoon 2'' use that game's version, and Splatfest songs from ''Splatoon 2'' use that game's Splatfest version. This will not occur if "Split & Splat", "Octoweaponry", "I Am Octavio", "Calamari Inkantation", "Deluge Dirge", or any of the four new remixes are playing on the stage.

**This makes Moray Towers one of five stages in the ''Smash Bros.'' series to change music when there is only thirty seconds left during a timed match, the others are [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)]], [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], and [[Suzaku Castle]] (if any type of one of the sixteen character themes from ''Street Fighter II'' or ''Super Street Fighter II'' is currently playing).

*Moray Towers can be seen in the city area of the Light Realm overworld in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s [[World of Light]] mode.

*Using their neutral special [[Splattershot]], the {{SSBU|Inkling}}s are able to lay down ink on the stage's platforms. This only occurs on this stage in its regular form, and doesn't seem to slow down opponents unlike the [[Splat Roller]]'s ink.

*When playing as {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, they will stand on the top floor of the parking garage in the background if they are Player 1 or Player 2, or on a lower floor if they are Player 3 or Player 4.

*The following [[Assist Trophies]] cannot appear on this stage: [[Color TV-Game 15]], [[Devil]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Arcade Bunny]] and the [[Ghosts]]. Additionally, [[Alolan Exeggutor]] and [[Eevee]] cannot be summoned from [[Poké Ball]]s.
