RIP Miiverse. It was a good stage :(

Stage layout

Functionally, its layout is similar to Battlefield, though it is slightly wider, the platforms are longer, and the ceiling is slightly higher, giving it the highest ceiling among SSB4's legal stage list.

Selected messages created by users appeared in the background, intended to cheer the fighters on. Users were able to post drawings for each character in dedicated Miiverse communities, which would then appear when that character is a participant in a match. The border color determined which character the post cheers for. During the results screen, players had the option to send a post directly to Miiverse related to the character who won the match. This prompt occured even if Miiverse was disabled on the system, but would not appear if playing with amiibo, seemingly due to the inability to suspend the game while amiibo are in use.

This stage is not available when playing against others online, making it the only stage with that restriction. When playing locally, this stage can be played even with the Wii U not connected to the Internet; doing so will simply caused no messages to appear, even while the service was active.

Certain events caused additional Miiverse posts to appear:

• When a Smash Ball appears, one message for each fighter popped up. When a character acquires one, numerous posts for that character quickly popped up and stayed that way until the character loses it or the Final Smash is over.
• When the crowd is about to cheer for a fighter, up to four messages appeared for that fighter.
• Ordinarily, a larger message would pop up cheering on a character who has attained a KO, but sometimes a message for the KO'd character would show up instead. If the KO is done via meteor smash, two messages would come up, and the message would shake when it appeared.
• When assembling a Dragoon or Daybreak, two messages appeared for the character who assembled it.

The Miiverse social network was discontinued as of November 8, 2017; after that date, this stage no longer has posts displayed in the background, and users are not able to post new drawings to its communities.

Ω Form

The Omega form removes the thin platforms and resembles the Online Practice Stage. While the service was active, Miiverse posts would still appear in the background as long as players were connected to Nintendo Network.

Tournament Legality

Miiverse is either considered legal as a purely cosmetic Battlefield alternative or banned due to its redundancy as a semi-clone of said stage. If the Wii U is not offline, the posts in the background can be distracting for players and may contain inappropriate material. However, with Miiverse now closed, no posts will appear in the background, helping its case for legality.

Origin

Miiverse's appearance is based on Miiverse's interface: they both feature a white and green color scheme, as well as a gray checkered background.

Trivia

• Miiverse is the only downloadable stage that is completely unavailable in 8-Player Smash.
• Miiverse and Pirate Ship are the only downloadable stages not available on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
• Any snapshots and replays that were taken on this stage could not be shared, even before the Miiverse network was shut down, nor can snapshots be painted on.
• If a Nintendo 3DS is being used as a controller, the stage will be unavailable.
• Replays would record where and when posts appear but did not record post content. Therefore, until the Miiverse network was shut down, it was possible to see different posts every time a replay was watched.
• Miiverse is the only stage from the Wii U version to not appear in the Special Orders mode.
