Meta Crystal has two platforms, one on top of another. The top platform is a small [[soft platform]]. The bottom platform is the main platform that slants upwards to the right, and downwards to the left.


In this stage the goal is to simple KO Metal Mario but since he is metal he receives little knockback even when his damage counter is in the 200+ range. The easiest way to defeat him is to accumulate damage on him and grab him near the edge and throw him off the stage. Since he is made of metal, he is heavier and drops quicker making him easy to KO when thrown.
The stage is quite small, probably to counter how difficult it is to hit Metal Mario offstage. [[Item]]s have a very low spawn rate.

There are two platforms on this stage, one baseline and one platform. The solid base is slanted upward toward the right giving the player an advantage with projectiles. The other platform center above the other can be jumped and dropped through.

This stage is based on Mario's [[Metal Box]] power-up in Super Mario 64.

The [[Metal Box]] mentioned earlier is an [[Items|item]] appearing in Melee as well, allowing every playable character to become metal.
Additionally, the skybox of the stage, an overgrowth of dark blue crystals, loosely resembles the background of the ice cave levels in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

Meta Crystal (メタ・クリスタル),[1] also known as Metal Mario's Stage, Metal Cavern, and a variety of other names, is the stage on which Metal Mario is fought in the 1P Game of Super Smash Bros. This stage can be accessed only in 1P Game or through cheat codes, hacks, or other devices.

Layout[edit]

Pikachu and Metal Mario in Meta Crystal.

Meta Crystal has two platforms, one on top of another. The top platform is a small soft platform. The bottom platform is the main platform that slants upwards to the right, and downwards to the left.

The stage is quite small, probably to counter how difficult it is to hit Metal Mario offstage. Items have a very low spawn rate.

Origin[edit]

Metal Mario in the Cavern of the Metal Cap.

This stage is loosely based Cavern of the Metal Cap, a secret area in Super Mario 64. It can be accessed within the Hazy Maze Cave level by jumping into a pool of liquid metal hidden behind a set of double doors in the Underground Lake area of the cave. Upon entering the cavern, Mario will transform into his metal power-up form for a short time. Hitting the Metal Cap Switch will activate the green Metal Boxes in the game, which will allow Mario to transform into Metal Mario by breaking them.

This stage features elements from both levels. The stage's setting takes place in an underground area decorated with glimmering crystals similar to the Cavern of the Metal Cap. The platforms and the wire walls are similar to those found in the Hazy Maze Cave. The large glimmering crystals resemble a design previously featured in the underground levels of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Additionally, the skybox of the stage, an overgrowth of dark blue crystals, loosely resembles the background of the ice cave levels in the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3.
