'''Suzaku Castle''' ({{ja|朱雀城|Suzaku jō}}, ''[[wikipedia:Vermilion Bird|Suzaku]] Castle'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', available as [[downloadable content]] in a pack with {{SSB4|Ryu}}. The stage returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

==Layout==

===Ω Form===

The Ω Form of the stage consists of only the main platform centered without the smaller platforms and walk-off areas. The signposts can be broken even on this version of the stage, making it the only Ω Form stage to have interactive parts, albeit them being static.

In ''Street Fighter II'', Suzaku Castle (Japan) is Ryu's stage. Like all ''Street Fighter'' stages it is a simple flat surface with no hazards. The twilight setting and breakable signs in the ''Smash'' stage are inspired by the version of this stage which appears in the SNES version of the game.<ref>[https://youtu.be/tRMerBq4Hro?t=6m50s A battle on the original stage in ''Street Figher II''.]</ref>

This stage is banned from tournaments (except the Ω form) due to containing walk-off blast lines, and that the stage layout forces most of the gameplay to take place on the right hand side of the stage.

*On this stage, if the current music playing is {{SSB4MusicLink|Street Fighter|Ryu Stage Type A}}/[[List of SSB4 Music (Street Fighter series)#Ryu Stage Type B|B]] or {{SSB4MusicLink|Street Fighter|Ken Stage Type A}}/[[List of SSB4 Music (Street Fighter series)#Ken Stage Type B|B]] and either the [[Match timer|timer]] has reached 30 seconds in a [[Time|timed match]]; the last opponent has one stock left in a [[Stock|stock match]]; the last opponent's HP is under 100 in a [[Stamina Mode|stamina match]]; or during [[Sudden Death]], a sped-up version of the respective song will play. This references ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter II}}'', where the stage music speeds up when a fighter loses half of their health.

**This makes Suzaku Castle one of the four stages in the Smash Bros. series that changes music when there is 30 seconds left during a timed match or when Sudden Death occurs, the others are [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], and [[Moray Towers]].

*Suzaku Castle is one of five stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, with the others being the [[Pyrosphere]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Fountain of Dreams]], and [[Midgar]]. Of these, Suzaku Castle is the only one originating from a fighting game.
