Pyrosphere[1] (パイロスフィア, Pyrosphere) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage is set in the Pyrosphere area of Metroid: Other M.
Overview
The main body of the Pyrosphere stage is fairly long aerial platform with a metallic surface. Above it float four platforms, arranged in a parallelogram shape. These platforms are also metallic, with a strip of green along the side. The lava appears pouring in the background, but doesn't affect the playing area.
As the stage boss, Ridley attacks players and can destroy floating platforms. He can increase his strength from absorbing energy from the tanks under the ledges, blackening his skin in the process. If he receives enough damage, he will become an ally to the attacker. Defeating him counts as a point. FG II-Grahams, Joulions, and Zeros appear as enemies on the stage as well. FG II-Graham units are mobile turrets that fire straight shots when hit. Joulions inflate then explode after being attacked. Zeros are heavy enemies that can be picked up and thrown.
Origin
Pyrosphere is a significant area in Metroid: Other M. The stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is based on the Geothermal Power Plant in the Pyrosphere inside of the Bottle Ship. It is there that Samus Aran would encounter and battle the newly-cloned Ridley. This area's appearance in Other M is mostly the same as it is in SSB4; the bridge that Ridley burns down, the magma-eruption port that Samus destroys to light the area, and the hole in the wall that Ridley creates while escaping are all in their post-battle state in SSB4, though the hole has been moved slightly to the right and there is another hole to the right of the door for unknown reasons. Also, the four floating platforms of the stage are not present in Other M.
During the fight at the Geothermal Power Plant against Ridley, he could harden his skin to render himself invulnerable to Samus' Plasma Beam, which was marked by his blackened skin. In SSB4, he absorbs the energy from the vats on either side of the stage to further augment his strength. The result is erroneously stated as a transformation into Meta Ridley.
Ω Form
The main platform is used in the Omega form. Ridley, smaller platforms and other hazards do not appear.
Glitches
- There is a glitch where when Ridley is about to dive onto the stage, a Dragoon attack will make Ridley function in the background instead of the foreground. However, fireballs and platforms act normally. The player can only defeat Ridley by using a Dragoon.

Update history
1.0.2
- Added 8-player mode version of the stage (already had an 8-player omega form). This version of Pyrosphere removes Ridley and other stage hazards.
Trivia
- Ridley's specific role in the Pyrosphere stage was withheld from Miiverse over a year after its announcement on August 20, 2013, when Masahiro Sakurai revealed the stage with a caption stating "An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…" On the April 8, 2014 Nintendo Direct, a shadow of Ridley could be seen chasing Pikachu, though only part of Ridley's wings and tail were seen. Ridley's role as a stage boss was ultimately confirmed in the October 2014 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza.
- The Pyrosphere appears as a stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions as the "Geothermal Power Plant", with Ridley as a stage hazard but without floating the platforms featured in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. This makes it one of five stages in the Super Smash Bros. series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, the others being the Boxing Ring, Green Hill Zone, Suzaku Castle, and Midgar.
