| '''New Pork City''' ({{ja|ニューポークシティ|Nyū Pōku Shiti}}, ''New Pork City'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' based on the location of the same name in ''Mother 3''. In ''Ultimate'', it is where Lucas is fought when being unlocked.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Stage overview==
| | '''New Pork City''' is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', hailing from the game ''MOTHER 3''. It is a massive stage, approximately the size of the [[Hyrule: Temple|Temple]] stage in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Brawl''. It is comprised of dozens of buildings, giving the impression of a large city. However, the battle area consists of a series of platforms that seem to have no connection to the city itself. |
| New Pork City presents itself as a massive stage, being by far the biggest stage in ''Brawl''. It is composed of dozens of buildings, giving the impression of a large city (hence the name), though the battle area consists of a series of platforms that seem to have no connection to the city itself. | |
|
| |
|
| On the very right side of the stage, there are a series of thin platforms vertically arranged on top of each other, from which it is possible to do a [[stage jump]] with some characters. The top of these is the highest point on the stage, being about 3/4 of the way up to the upper blast line. To the left of these platforms is a swinging "pendulum" platform, resembling the swinging ship ride seen in the city's original appearance in the game. Directly below this is a large, sloped platform. The left edge of this drops down to a platform of wooden planks with a painting of a building laying flat. This platform is breakable, and can result in early deaths if one is not careful. The left side of this platform is connected to another bumpy platform, connected to a slope facing downwards to the left. Directly above this are two very thick, floating cubical platforms connected to each other. The rightmost point of this is slightly to the left of the rightmost point of the slope. Directly left of the sloped platform is a small floating slope. This is between the large cubical platforms and a small, thin platform connected to a larger, cube-shaped one. To the left of this is the left-most point on the stage, a flat, small platform with medium thickness. The bottom-most point of the stage is a small limousine that flies from the left to the right of the stage, though this only appears sometimes. Far into the background is a silhouette of an actual city, despite the fact that New Pork City itself is floating and unconnected to it. Interestingly, the camera does not zoom in very much, even if all characters are near each other, even though it zooms in when the game is paused.
| | Like the Temple stage, this stage is banned in many tournaments for being too large as well as the Ultimate Chimera hazard. |
|
| |
|
| The [[Ultimate Chimera]] appears a major hazard in this stage. Appearing randomly on the large right platform, the bottom platform with the breakable floor, or the two large leftmost platforms, it walks slowly and its bite attack results in 100% damage with very high [[knockback]] in ''Brawl'', usually a guaranteed [[one-hit KO]] if not [[tech|teched]] - which turns out to be quite helpful in [[event match]]es set in the stage, such as [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]], as the knockback applied is strong enough to trump the factor of the amplified weight of the giant opponents. The attack has 2 hitboxes which can both damage the player simultaneously, potentially resulting in 200% damage. In ''Ultimate'', the bite no longer launches fighters, and instead deals an [[instant KO]] - likely as a result, the Ultimate Chimera roars when it first appears without attacking, giving nearby players a chance to get away. If the combo menu is open, it can be seen that the attack still deals 100% damage. | | ==Ultimate Chimera== |
| | The '''Ultimate Chimera''' is a hazard in [[New Pork City]]. Appearing randomly in any part of the stage, it walks slowly and its bite attack results in a [[One-hit KO]] and deals 100% if you are by the edge of its mouth, and 200% if you get trapped inside. It is possible to [[tech]] the attack. |
|

|
| ===Ω form and Battlefield form=== | | ===Chimera Facts=== |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is set on a metallic structure designed similarly to the metallic [[hard platform]] structures of the regular form, and it is the same size and shape as {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s' designs resemble the soft platforms of the regular form. The Ultimate Chimera is also absent.
| | *It is possible to get rid of the Ultimate Chimera when it is situated on the breakable platform on the bottom of the stage by breaking the platform. This can be done safely from a distance with the [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]], [[C4]], etc. |
| <gallery widths="200px">
| | *It is possible to [[air dodge]] through the Chimera. |
| File:SSBU-New Pork CityOmega.png|Ω form in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''
| | *When the Chimera appears the field becomes darker (like when a Smash Ball has been broken), and it will also make a *ching* sound--the same sound heard when it would notice [[Lucas]] in ''[[MOTHER 3]]''. |
| File:SSBU-New Pork CityBattlefield.png|Battlefield form in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
| | *It is posssible to survive the Chimera's bite even when not using a metal box. If bitten under a solid ceiling, you might be saved. |
| </gallery>
| | *It is also possible to survive the Chimera's bite after using a [[Metal Box]]. If bitten, a character will still suffer knockback and damage, although both will be significantly reduced. However, the Metal state will be lost after the character is bitten. |
| | [[Image:Ultimate_Chimera.jpg|thumb|250px|The Ultimate Chimera]] |
| | *For some reason, when [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Giga Bowser]] walks over the Ultimate Chimera, the Chimera will not even try to bite; in fact it will completely ignore Giga Bowser. |
| | *If the player completes [[All-Star Mode]] with [[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]], the congratulations screen will picture him in the mouth of the Ultimate Chimera. |
| | *The sound effect used for its roar in ''Mother 3'' can be heard after defeating [[Porky Minch]] in the Subspace Emissary. |
| | *It actually is possible to walk into Ultimate Chimera and not get hit. If your character is on a platform, and Chimera appears with you, he won't attack the player until he/she drops off the platform. |
| | *Unlike in Mother 3, the Ultimate Chimera cannot be turned off. |
| | *In ''MOTHER 3'', the Ultimate Chimera doesn't wander around the city; it was always found indoors. |
|
| |
|
| ===Hazards Off=== | | ===In ''MOTHER 3''=== |
| With hazards off in ''Ultimate'', the Ultimate Chimera does not appear, the flying limousine does not fly into the playing field, the breakable floor can no longer be hit, and the swinging platform does not swing.
| | In ''MOTHER 3'', The Ultimate Chimera is first seen in the Chimera Factory (in chapter 7) then appears in the Empire Porky Building in New Pork City, inside a bathroom (in Chapter 8). When it sees or is near Lucas's party, it will pursue them. Engaging it in battle is futile; as soon as the Ultimate Chimera catches up with Lucas's party, it will open its cavernous mouth wide and chomp them, resulting in a Game Over without even commencing an actual "battle." The Ultimate Chimera DOES have an "off" button on his back, but after a few minutes, the chick that rests on its head will jump on the button and turn it back on in ''MOTHER 3'', and the button is impossible to press in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. |

| | *''Porky's Theme'' |
| New Pork City is the final location in ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 3}}'', where one of the {{s|wikibound|Seven Needles}} is located. The city was built by [[Porky Minch]], who forcibly brainwashed and gathered the inhabitants of the {{s|wikibound|Nowhere Islands}}—along with various peoples across different time periods—in order to commemorate the destruction of the world by the {{s|wikibound|Masked Man}} pulling the final Needle. [[Lucas]] and his partners were the only people invited to the city, chauffeured by a flying limousine. There are many attractions in the city, including an amusement park, a movie theater, an arcade, a restaurant, and the [[Porky Statue|King Statue]]; however, most of the buildings in the city are actually just wooden billboards. The most prominent building, however, is the {{s|wikibound|Empire Porky Building}}, which is a 100-story skyscraper where Porky resides. In this stage, the city itself is in the background and, for the most part, uses the original sprites from ''Mother 3''; however, the size of the city has been greatly increased. The swinging platform bears resemblance to the pirate ride in the amusement park, and the destructible wooden platform on the bottom has a face of a building painted on it.

| In ''Mother 3'', Porky gathered various scientists from different times and ordered them to create {{s|wikibound|chimera}}s—creatures made through mechanizing animals or combining them with each other. The {{s|wikibound|Ultimate Chimera}} was designed to be a killing machine; it is an incredibly dangerous creature feared even by its creators, and if Lucas approaches it, he'll be instantly defeated by its powerful bite. It was created in the {{s|wikibound|Chimera Laboratory}} in the {{s|wikibound|Murasaki Forest}}, and appears again on the Empire Porky Building's restroom floor.

| ==Tournament legality==
| | '''Songs in bold must be unlocked''' |
| New Pork City has been banned universally in tournament play since the beginning of ''Brawl's'' competitive scene. The most significant of its problems is its extreme size and extreme amount of empty space; characters can live to absurd [[damage]] percents without the aid of a [[cave of life]], and can easily outcamp slower characters just by running away. Besides being able to cause [[broken|game breaking]] [[camping]], this can make it impossible for matches here to finish without going to [[time out|time]], and greatly prevents matches from flowing smoothly. The stage is additionally difficult to traverse due to irregular [[floor]] design and [[platform]] placement and the aforementioned extreme amount of empty space, and the [[camera]] has issues with being able to zoom in properly, which further disrupts gameplay within the stage. The stage also has several walls, allowing for wall [[infinite]]s and [[zero death]]s, as well as places to [[tech]] against to extend survival even farther. The final major problem is the Ultimate Chimera, which while can be reasonably (and arguably easily) avoided, still has guaranteed OHKO power if a player is bitten by it in a stage where characters can realistically approach [[sudden death]] damage percents consistently, making it an overly powerful stage hazard that can have too large of an impact in a match regardless.

| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| | New Pork City was a location in ''Mother 3''. Porky ruled this city and gathered various people from different timelines to live in it, and eventually managed to get all of the Nowhere Islanders to move here too, sometimes by force. Porky gathered various scientists from different timelines to work in a laboratory called the Chimera Lab, which is not located in New Pork City itself. He gave orders to create creatures called Chimeras, which were hybrids of multiple different animals or plants, or mechanized versions of animals. The Ultimate Chimera was one of these, and, fitting the name, was the most powerful one, and was feared even by its creators. The Ultimate Chimera was eventually moved here as well, and was discovered by Lucas and company in the bathrooms of the Empire Porky Building, which is why the Ultimate Chimera appears as a stage hazard here. The background contains multiple sprites from ''Mother 3''. Notably, the Empire Porky Building, a 100 story building, can be seen in the background, and it expands all the way up to the upper boundary line. Sprites of some of the ''Mother 3'' characters can also be seen. However, the actual arrangement of platforms used here (disregarding the limousine) was never a part of the city in ''MOTHER 3'', although their design is based on the parking lot. |

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| [[File:NewPorkCitySkyscraper.png|thumb|The Empire Porky Building, as seen with an unrestricted camera in ''Brawl''.]] | | *In the background on the right side of the stage one can see the [[Porky Statue]]. |
| *In ''Brawl'', the model for the Empire Porky Building extends far above the stage, and it even pierces the stage's skybox. | | *The flying limo acts as a platform, but only when it appears at the bottom of the screen. |
| *Although this stage originates from ''Mother 3'', ''Brawl''{{'}}s stage selection screen labels it ''EarthBound'' (''Mother'' in the Japanese version). This was changed to ''Mother 3'' in all versions of ''Ultimate''.
| | *The buildings in the background are not rendered in 3D. Instead, they are the original 2D sprites from ''MOTHER 3''. The Super Smash Bros. DOJO!! describes them as being like billboards. |
| *When {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} is selected, he will stand on the streets in the background. | | *On the American version, the stage selection screen refers to the stage as hailing from EarthBound, although it is not from said game. It is probable that if ''MOTHER 3'' had been released outside of Japan and been given an official logo, then it probably would have been used to refer to the game from which the stage hails. It is also probable that it was referring to the series as a whole, which also makes sense considering the possibility that it might have been translated as "EarthBound 2." |
| *The Pigmask's logo appears stamped on all solid [[platform]]s. | | *In ''MOTHER 3'', The Empire Pork Building has 100 floors. This fact is stretched in Brawl as the height of the building is unspecifyingly tall and in fact still goes off the top of the screen when Olimar uses End of Day. |
| *{{SSBB|Fox}}, {{SSBB|Falco}}, and {{SSBB|Pit}} can perform the [[Laser Glitch]] here in ''Brawl''.
| | *When Pokémon Trainer is selected, the trainer stands on the streets in the background. |
| *[[Shadow Sneak]] will sometimes warp Greninja off the ground in this stage.
| | *The Pigmask's logo appears stamped on all the platforms. |
| *In ''Ultimate'', the following [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]] can only appear on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage: [[Metroid (creature)|Metroid]], [[Kapp'n]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Arcade Bunny]], and the [[Ghosts]]. [[Color TV-Game 15]] and [[Nikki]] (due to the dark background obscuring her drawings) cannot be summoned on this stage at all. Additionally, [[Alolan Exeggutor]], [[Lunala]] and [[Marshadow]] can only be summoned from [[Poké Ball]]s on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms. | | *Despite the presence of trophies for most stage elements, there is no trophy of the Ultimate Chimera. |
| | *If you pause the game and move the camera left or right you will see a real life 2D city. |
