The '''''Electroplankton'' universe''' ({{ja|エレクトロプランクトン|Erekutoropurankuton}}, ''Electroplankton'') is one of the many unique universes represented in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The universe consists of only a single title (excluding the DSiWare re-release, split up as the game's 10 stages for individual sale): a relatively obscure music creation software. In ''Brawl'', its only representation is a stage, [[Hanenbow]], and a few stickers. In ''Ultimate'', the Hanenbow stage returns with a new music track and a [[Spirits (characters)|Spirit]].

==Franchise description==
''Electroplankton'' initially released for the Nintendo DS on April 7, 2005 in Japan and early 2006 worldwide. Satoru Iwata explained in a 2005 interview that the game was the idea of Toshio Iwai, who developed the entire game by himself. This is why his name is printed on all packaging and marketing.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/04/08/electroplankton-live Interview with Satoru Iwata about development]</ref> It is less of a game and more of a music creation tool. There are ten different stages, or "instruments", in the game: Tracy, Hanenbow, Nanocarp, Beatnes, Rec Rec, Lumiloop, Luminaria, Sun Animalcule, Marine Snow and Volvoice. Each instrument uses different sounds that the player can experiment with. The game is split into two main modes: Performance and Audience. Performance mode involves the player directly interacting with the stage and the plankton to make various noises and music. Audience mode cause the plankton in the stage to act on their own for the player to watch and listen, though they can still be interacted with.
 
The game was indirectly rereleased in 2009 for DSiWare. All ten instruments were split up and sold separately for 200 Nintendo Points each. This was a cheap alternative for those that only wanted a portion of the game.

*[[Image:Icon-hanenbow.gif|right]]'''[[Hanenbow]]''' is a secret stage in ''Brawl'' representing the Electroplankton universe. It is unlocked by finishing [[Event 28: Flower Blooms in the Echoes]]. Hanenbow is the only stage where [[My Music]] does not work; the music is generated by the actions of the players and the Hanenbow that fly around the stage. The leaves change color and angle when struck.

==Trivia==
* ''Electroplankton'', {{uv|Metal Gear}}, and {{uv|Miiverse}} are the only primary universes to be entirely dropped from a ''Smash'' game, with ''Metal Gear'' and ''Electroplankton'' having no content whatsoever in ''SSB4'' and ''Miiverse'' having no content in ''Ultimate''. {{uv|Ice Climber}}, while having its sole playable character(s) not returning and not having any stages in the same game, is still represented by trophies, two music tracks and the [[Polar Bear]]'s appearance in [[Smash Run]]. However, both ''Metal Gear'' and ''Electroplankton'' made a return in ''[[Ultimate]]''.
