Hollow Bastion | {{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion}} is an important world in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, appearing in multiple cutscenes and repeatedly being alluded to leading up to its appearance as the penultimate world of the first game. Outside of this, it reappears as a playable world in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' (as {{iw|khwiki|Radiant Garden}}), ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III''{{'}}s DLC, while it makes a non-playable appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. | ||
{{iw|khwiki|Dive to the Heart}} serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials. In the numbered ''Kingdom Hearts'' titles, the player learns basic combat and game controls here. Each character has their own station adorned with symbols and important individuals, and often appear as a dreamlike realm. Battles atop the station can occur whenever an individual enters another heart, such as {{iw|khwiki|Roxas}} briefly attempting to overpower Sora while the former was merged with the latter. | |||

==Tournament Legality== | |||
Due to the stage lacking stage hazards and possessing a layout similar to the hazards-off version of the already legal [[Smashville]] (albeit slightly larger main platform) and having the same blast zone distance as [[Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination]], Hollow Bastion is often considered as a counterpick in many tourneys, and a starter in some. | |||

*Hollow Bastion is the only stage to change its background for the remainder of the match when a certain condition is met. Additionally, said condition is time running low, being on one stock, or having low stamina, meaning this stage is also the only one to do something besides changing music when this occurs. | *Hollow Bastion is the only stage to change its background for the remainder of the match when a certain condition is met.

*Hollow Bastion's Battlefield and Ω variants will turn into their respective Dive to the Heart variants if stage hazards are on, but not if they are off. This makes Hollow Bastion's Battlefield and Ω variants one of two stages where the Battlefield and Ω variants have differences between hazards on and hazardless versions, the other being [[Figure-8 Circuit]] (where Shy Guy racers do not appear in hazards off versions of the Battlefield/Omega forms) | *Hollow Bastion's Battlefield and Ω variants will turn into their respective Dive to the Heart variants if stage hazards are on, but not if they are off.

*This stage's default [[My Music]] settings are non-standard. By default, ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Kingdom Hearts|Fragments of Sorrow}}'' is the most likely song to appear, while ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Kingdom Hearts|Night of Fate}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Kingdom Hearts|Hand in Hand}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Kingdom Hearts|Hollow Bastion}}'', and ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Kingdom Hearts|Scherzo Di Notte}}'' are all equally set as the second-most likely choices. | |||
*Hollow Bastion features seven Dive to the Heart stations. This coincidentally is the same amount as the {{iw|khwiki|Seven Guardians of Light}}. | |||
**The stations of four of these guardians are featured on this stage: [[Sora]], {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}, {{iw|khwiki|Ventus}}, and {{iw|khwiki|Aqua}}. | |||
***Two additional guardians, {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}} and {{iw|khwiki|Lea}} through his nobody {{iw|khwiki|Axel}} also appear in these stations. | |||
*In a [[YouTube]] video, Masahiro Sakurai showed various changes made to Hollow Bastion before the final release:<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqjXBzWX3_A&t Odds and Ends of Supervising: Sora Edition <nowiki>[Graphics]</nowiki>]</ref> | |||
**The colors of the rising falls were tweaked to not look like ice. | |||
**Dive to the Heart was initially too dark and caused visibility issues. | |||
**The cloud density in the background was too uneven initially. | |||
**The pipes on Hollow Bastion initially looked to flat, so their gradation was tweaked to look more 3D. | |||
**There were issues of background elements contrasting too much and blending into the foreground. | |||
**A progression of the stained glass background was shown. | |||
**A structure on Hollow Bastion initially looked too much like a churro. | |||
**Characters initially blended into the stained glass too easily. | |||
**The drop through platforms in Dive to the Heart were changed to be easier to see. The platforms also had a visual bug where they changed hues depending on location. | |||
**The Dive to the Heart floor was made less vibrant for visual clarity. | |||
