A '''stage element''' is simply, any aspect of a [[stage]]. There are many kinds of stage elements and they may exist conceptually, as events, or as tangible parts and their abstractions. A stage is typically made up of many elements, the most common of which are backgrounds, a large central [[platform]], and [[edge]]s. There are some things that appear during gameplay on stages that are not a part of a stage, such as [[character]]s and most [[item]]s. | |||

Some elements may even serve multiple roles, intentional or not, such as the [[Shy Guy]]s on [[Yoshi's Island]] who may bring food or accidentally obstruct [[projectile]]s. | ||
The elements in official stages cannot be removed or altered in any in-game way except those that are dependent on whether or not items are turned on. The [[Stage Builder]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' introduced the first way for players to create their own stages, although all the provided parts (except for the theme and background) are exclusively tangible and there is no way to create abstractions or events. | The elements in official stages cannot be removed or altered in any in-game way except those that are dependent on whether or not items are turned on.

Some loops have virtually zero impact on gameplay, such as changing backgrounds, while some feature global shifts as on [[Rainbow Cruise]] - the game state will begin on the cruise ship, which will eventually drop below the lower blast line as the players make their way around obstacles, eventually circling around the stage where a new cruise ship will be waiting for them to begin the loop again. | Some loops have virtually zero impact on gameplay, such as changing backgrounds, while some feature global shifts as on [[Rainbow Cruise]] - the game state will begin on the cruise ship, which will eventually drop below the lower blast line as the players make their way around obstacles, eventually circling around the stage where a new cruise ship will be waiting for them to begin the loop again. | ||

Incidentally, several stages from the [[Star Fox]] franchise feature rails. | ||
