The Tutorial Stage (listed as Explain in the Debug menu) is a stage in Super Smash Bros., which cannot be unlocked or played on except via hacking. The stage is used in a tutorial video to demonstrate how to play the game, appearing when the player leaves the game idle after the introduction. It shows Mario and Luigi teaching the basics of controls such as attacks, jumping, dashing and more. In tournaments, outside of the difficulty of needing a GameShark to access it, it is banned in competitive play due to the strange boundaries, camera quirks, and asymmetry.

Features

• 1 soft platform, and the main solid platform, with only one grabbable ledge.
• Resembles an early form of Dream Land, as it contains the same background, main platform, and one of the three small platforms of that stage.
• The stage's left boundary is extremely small and can result in quick KOs.
• Left side is a normal size compared to the other stages but characters stay in a magnifying glass throughout the time.
• The upper boundary is lower than that of the standard.
• Due to never being intended to hold three or more players, P3 can glitch on this stage, in that they will be very light and unable to control their character.
