The stage begins on the streets in front of the tower's base in broad daylight. A few seconds into the battle, moving platforms will appear and must be jumped onto to begin the ascent to the top. Near the top, the sun begins to set, and it turns nighttime once at the top, where the players can continue to fight.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFysvtvtA</ref> Eventually, the platform flies away from the tower, then down back to the front of the tower's base as daylight returns. The stage always plays out in a set order for the same amount of time.

Like [[Saffron City]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Spear Pillar]], there are Pokémon that appear in the background. {{pkmn|Helioptile}} can be seen on the ground, while {{pkmn|Magnemite}}, [[Zapdos]], {{pkmn|Emolga}}, and {{pkmn|Yveltal}} can be seen while the platform flies around the tower (save for Yveltal, all the appearing Pokémon are Electric-type, matching the theme of the Lumiose City Gym). The base of the tower features two televisions that cycle between advertisements. These include advertisements for {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon-Amie}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Trainer PR Video}}s, {{iw|bulbapedia|Roller Skates}}, the {{iw|bulbapedia|Gogoat Shuttle}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Holo Caster}}s, and film advertisements featuring Kalos Champion {{iw|bulbapedia|Diantha}}, a [[Lucario]], and another indistinguishable character.

==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
In {{for3ds}}, Prism Tower was a counterpick stage. However, despite not having intrusive hazards, it still has many features considered unusual for legal stages in ''SSB4'', such as being a touring stage with an initial walkoff section and another section with multiple platforms with grabbable edges. Its status as a legal stage is largely owed to the poor availability of competitively suitable stages in the 3DS version, and due to its unpopularity in competitive settings, Prism Tower is hardly ever seen in competitive play.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Prism Tower is universally banned, thanks to the larger availability of more conventional competitive stages.

In ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}'', Lumiose City is at the center of the Kalos region and is the largest city in the Pokémon world. The Prism Tower, in Centrico Plaza, also serves as the {{s|bulbapedia|Lumiose Gym}}, where the player battles {{s|bulbapedia|Clemont}}—an Electric-type specialist—for the {{s|bulbapedia|Voltage Badge}} after solving a series of questions involving Pokémon. The design of the Prism Tower is based on the {{s|wikipedia|Eiffel Tower}} (Lumiose City itself is based on {{s|wikipedia|Paris}}).

In terms of design, the tower in ''Smash'' has a composite between its game version (with the more arched entrance, the yellow gym leader symbol, and more outside flora) and its anime version (with more tinted windows and glass doors). In addition to the elements of both versions, the entrance also has monitors with advertisements, which could be found throughout the rest of the city in the original game.

With the exception of the legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Yveltal, the Pokémon that appear in the background seem to reference Clemont's team in his Gym Battle; Emolga, {{s|bulbapedia|Heliolisk}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Magneton}} (the latter two being evolved forms of Helioptile and Magnemite).
