Poké Floats: Difference between revisions
(Undid edit by 94.126.199.110: doubtful, it's got no relation in Japanese and the English name much more strongly implies parade floats) |

Poké Floats (ポケモン亜空間, Pokémon Subspace) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In All-Star mode, Jigglypuff and its teammates are fought here.
The Sudowoodo trophy is unlocked along this stage.
Stage structure
Poké Floats is a stage similar to Rainbow Cruise, since both are naturally fixed-camera and scroll. Unlike in Rainbow Cruise, however, the background remains static. The fighting is on top of giant Pokémon floats (hence the name) which are in a constant cycle. Staying on a certain float too long will cause the player to lose a stock because the float goes behind the blast lines. A caution is that the floats tend to become harder to predict as the loop goes on, until it resets back to the first one.
List of floats in order of appearance
For a detailed description of each float's properties, see Debug menu (SSBM)/Stage data#Poké Floats.
- Squirtle (starting platform)
- Onix
- Psyduck
- Chikorita
- Weezing
- Slowpoke
- Porygon
- Wooper
- Sudowoodo
- Snorlax
- Venusaur
- Seel
- Wobbuffet
- Each letter of Unown, interspersed with the other floats until the level loops again
- Goldeen
- Lickitung
- Chansey
- Geodude
After Geodude, the last few Unown clear the screen just before resetting back to Squirtle, and the process starts again.
Tournament legality
Poké Floats was originally deemed legal as a counterpick, on the basis that its movement was entirely deterministic and not fast enough to cause an overreliance on mobility, though some characters could have trouble recovering or going from float to float. Eventually, however, the stage was banned from tournament play due to the possibility of stage spikes, and recovery being made difficult by the odd movements and collision detection of some floats, as seen in this clip.
Origin
While this stage does not directly come from a Pokémon game, the character models of the first generation Pokémon come from the models in the game Pokémon Stadium. The models for the second generation Pokémon come from Pokémon Stadium 2. The concept of "Poke Floats" was later reused in the WiFi chat rooms in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions. Kanto Skies comes from the Kanto region, which was explorable in the first games.
Trivia
- This is the only non-Past stage in Melee that does not appear in Classic Mode. However, the music will appear when fighting Mewtwo.
- Using the 0-Second Melee glitch on this stage will load all of the Pokemon balloons on screen at once. This glitch only works on version v1.00.
