'''Ω forms''' ('''Omega forms''', also known as '''Final Destination forms''') ({{ja|終点化|Shūten ka}}, lit. ''Final Destination forms'') are alternate versions of stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' which have a [[Final Destination]]-like layout, consisting of a single flat platform with all stage hazards removed.
'''Ω forms''' ('''Omega forms''', also known as '''Final Destination forms''') ({{ja|終点化|Shūten ka}}, lit. ''Final Destination forms'') are alternate versions of stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' which have a [[Final Destination]]-like layout (referred to as a "floating island" by Masahiro Sakurai<ref>[https://youtu.be/2Iiu1k16Ukc?t=62 Writing Game Proposals <nowiki>[Work Ethic]</nowiki>]</ref>), consisting of a single flat platform with all stage hazards removed.


Pressing the X button on the stage select screen in the [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|3DS version]] of ''Smash 4'' will fill the circular cursor with either {{ja|終点|Shūten}} (Japanese), Ω (other languages) or DF (PAL French version, 3DS only), allowing Ω form stages to be selected. There is also an option in the rules to have the game automatically select Ω form stages at random; this is how stages are selected in [[For Glory]] mode. Ω form stages can also be selected at random by pressing the X button and selecting Random on the stage select screen. Final Destination itself can be selected as a Ω form stage, but this doesn't change its layout.
Pressing the {{button|Wii|A}} (horizontal Wii Remote), {{button|Wii|1}} (Wii Remote with Nunchuk) or {{button|3DS|X}} (every other controller) on the stage select screen in ''Smash 4'' will fill the circular cursor with either Ω, {{ja|終点|Shūten}} (Japanese), or DF (PAL French version, 3DS only), allowing Ω form stages to be selected. There is also an option in the rules to have the game automatically select Ω form stages at random; this is how stages are selected in [[For Glory]] mode. Ω form stages can also be selected at random by enabling the Ω form cursor and selecting Random on the stage select screen. Final Destination itself can be selected as a Ω form stage, but this doesn't change its layout.


In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Ω forms are accompanied by a new stage option known as [[Battlefield form]]s.

In the introduction of Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] stages in the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that they differ only in music and aesthetics.<ref name="E32018Direct">{{cite web |url=https://youtu.be/L93H7YC-83o |title=Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - E3 2018 - Nintendo Switch |accessdate=2016-06-20 |date=2014-06-12 |publisher=Official Nintendo YouTube channel }}</ref> Unlike in ''Smash 4'', the terrain and blast lines no longer vary between stages. This means all Ω forms are the same length as {{SSBU|Final Destination}}, in turn being shortened to the same length as {{SSBU|Battlefield}}.

Despite this, stages that have the 2D flattening effect in the regular stages also have it in their Ω form, which alters how hitboxes function. Stages where Star and Screen KOs are disabled continue to have them disabled as well.

**Likewise, during ''[[Brawl]]''{{'}}s reveal during E3 2006, {{SSBB|Mario}}, {{SSBB|Link}}, {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, and {{SSBB|Kirby}} were seen fighting on a variant of {{SSBB|Battlefield}} without the smaller platforms (with {{SSBB|Snake}} hiding, and later revealing himself, in the background). This was eight years prior to the announcement or addition of Ω forms.
