[[File: | [[File:SSBU-Battlefield.png|300px|thumb|The Battlefield stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is an example of a typical stage in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.]] | ||
A '''stage''' ({{ja|ステージ|Sutēji}}, ''Stage''), also called a '''level''', '''map''', '''arena''', '''stadium''', or '''board''', is a location in which [[Fighter|characters]] fight or complete objectives. The word "stage" refers to the entire loaded location, but can also refer to the ground or large central [[platform]] within the level. Though versus mode stages are the most commonly recognized and utilized, single-player mode stages such as [[Race to the Finish]] or [[Trophy Collector]] exist as well for purposes other than fighting others. | A '''stage''' ({{ja|ステージ|Sutēji}}, ''Stage''), also called a '''level''', '''map''', '''arena''', '''stadium''', or '''board''', is a location in which [[Fighter|characters]] fight or complete objectives.

Most '''[[versus mode]] stages''' in each of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series games are available from the [[starter stage|start]], though a small number must first be [[unlockable stage|unlocked]] by completing certain objectives. Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' some stages are | Most '''[[versus mode]] stages''' in each of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series games are available from the [[starter stage|start]], though a small number must first be [[unlockable stage|unlocked]] by completing certain objectives. Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' some stages are made available through updates and are [[downloadable]]. Most stages, like [[Princess Peach's Castle]], are derived from places in playable characters' [[universe]]s. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' introduced two stages unique to the ''{{uv|Super Smash Bros.}}'' universe — [[Battlefield]] and [[Final Destination]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', stages derived from universes without associated playable characters were introduced, namely [[Smashville]], [[Hanenbow]], and [[PictoChat]]. Additionally, not every playable character has a stage from their own universe; the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe lacked one in ''Melee'' (though [[AKANEIA|one]] was planned), and the {{uv|R.O.B.}} universe has, for unknown reasons, never had a stage. Since ''Melee'', each ''Smash'' game has included several [[Past Stages]] that debuted in previous games. These stages have either no or minor alterations (an example being [[Dream Land]] in ''Smash 4'', where the top blast line is much closer to the stage than it was in ''64'' or ''Melee''). ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' changes this, giving older stages a more refined and detailed design. | ||
Stages range in size from the large [[The Great Cave Offensive]] and [[Rumble Falls]] to the small [[Yoshi's Story]] and [[Peach's Castle]]. Typically, stages involve a large central [[platform]] with [[ledge]]s, multiple smaller platforms, and [[blast line]]s above, below, and to the left and right of the visible area. Some stages, such as {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}} and [[Coliseum]], have floors that continue past the edge of the visible area and pass through a side blast line. These edges are known as "walk-off edges" or "walk-offs" because characters can walk offscreen without the need to become airborne. Stages with walk-off edges on both the left and right, like [[Bridge of Eldin]], are referred to as "walk-off stages", and only a select few, like {{SSBM|Yoshi's Island}}, have only one walk-off. Some walk-off stages, such as [[Onett]], have lower blast lines that are inaccessible normally, while others, such as [[Green Hill Zone]], only infrequently have the lower blast lines introduced; still others, such as {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, have permanently-accessible gaps where players can fall past the lower blast line while still having solid ground covering most of the lower blast line, including its intersections with the left and/or right blast lines. | Stages range in size from the large [[The Great Cave Offensive]] and [[Rumble Falls]] to the small [[Yoshi's Story]] and [[Peach's Castle]].

''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' features 42 stages total (seven of which are unlockable, shown in '''bold''', and eight of which are [[downloadable content]]).

'''''Bold and italic''''' text denotes stages that are unlockable in one version, but a starter/downloadable stage in the other. 13 stages appear in both versions (with some having changes), however, the majority of stages are exclusive to each version, with 3DS stages primarily pulled from handheld games and Wii U stages from console games (though, there [[Mute City SNES|are]] [[Balloon Fight|some]] [[Kalos Pokémon League|exceptions]]). In addition, this is the first game where stages from all the past entries return at once. | ||
