==Tournament legality==
Because of Small Battlefield's neutral and hazard-free layout, it is expected to be either legal in tournament play in some way, or banned due to being too similar to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. However, due to [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19]], this remains to be seen.
Small Battlefield has been warmly received by the competitive community, which had lamented the lack of small stages appropriate for competitive play, and the consequent slant in stage lists towards large and/or open stages. However, its layout has been deemed fairly similar to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], albeit with several notable differences such as their size; as a result, the stages do not usually appear together as starter picks, with one or the other often being available as a counterpick instead. Nevertheless, Small Battlefield has become one of the most popular stage choices in competitive play.

Small Battlefield (小戦場, Small Battlefield) is a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was released in the 8.1.0 update on August 4, 2020 (August 5 in some time zones).

Stage overview[edit]

As the name suggests, Small Battlefield is a slightly smaller version of Battlefield. The main change from the original Battlefield is that the top platform is removed, and the two soft platforms of Small Battlefield are slightly closer together than the bottom two platforms of normal Battlefield. This also makes it fairly similar to the hazards-off versions of Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2. Additionally, the stage's blast zones are identical to that of Final Destination.[1]

Visually, Small Battlefield has the exact same background as Battlefield. It is set in a futuristic ruins-like setting, while having other floating islands with crumbled buildings on them in the background.

Ω form and Battlefield form[edit]

Small Battlefield's Battlefield and Ω forms are exactly identical to regular Battlefield's.

Tournament legality[edit]

Small Battlefield has been warmly received by the competitive community, which had lamented the lack of small stages appropriate for competitive play, and the consequent slant in stage lists towards large and/or open stages. However, its layout has been deemed fairly similar to Pokémon Stadium 2, albeit with several notable differences such as their size; as a result, the stages do not usually appear together as starter picks, with one or the other often being available as a counterpick instead. Nevertheless, Small Battlefield has become one of the most popular stage choices in competitive play.
