A '''home stage''' is the stage that is most commonly associated with a character, by the game and/or by players. The subject of home [[stages]] can at times be somewhat confusing in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. In both ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', there are playable characters who do not have a stage belonging to their "[[universe]]". In addition, certain characters in SSBM have more than one stage. As secret characters are fought on stages specific to each of those characters, and SSBM's [[All-Star mode]] also gives each character a "home" stage, it's possible to determine which characters "own" which stages, even though the results may occasionally cause confusion.

==''Super Smash Bros.''==
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each of the eight [[starter character|starter characters]] has their own stage. Of the four secret characters, two - ([[Luigi]] and [[Jigglypuff]]) - share their stages with the starter characters from their universe ([[Mario]] and [[Pikachu]], sharing [[Peach's Castle]] and [[Saffron City]], respectively). The remaining two characters have their home stages defined by where they are fought when they are unlocked. [[Captain Falcon]] is fought at [[Samus Aran|Samus']] [[Planet Zebes]], while [[Ness]] is unlocked by defeating him at [[Kirby|Kirby's]] [[Dream Land|Dream Land]] stage. Thus, Captain Falcon and Ness may be considered to have these stages as their home stages. There is another stage from the Mario series, [[Mushroom Kingdom]], which is sometimes considered as Luigi's stage.
 
==''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the situation is somewhat more complicated. While secret characters all have a stage of their own for the purpose of unlocking them, all characters have a stage associated with them for the purposes of [[All-Star mode]].

==''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the situation becomes even more complicated, and not all characters have a home stage. However, when a character must be fought in order to be unlocked, either another stage from their universe, the stage Battlefield, or the stage Final Destination are used. A partial list is below:
 
* [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]] - [[Mario Circuit]]/[[Mushroom Kingdom: Rainbow Cruise]]

Other home stages:
 
* Nintendo DS - [[PictoChat]]
* [[Electroplankton]] - [[Hanenbow]]
* [[Animal Crossing]] - [[Smashville]]
* [[Fighting Alloy Team]] - [[Battlefield (SSBB)]]
* [[Master Hand]]/[[Crazy Hand]]/[[Tabuu]] - [[Final Destination (SSBB)]]
* [[Sandbag]] - [[Home-run Stadium (SSBB)]]
* [[All-Star Mode]] - [[All-Star Teleporter]]
* [[Target]] - [[Target Smash!!]]
* [[Subspace Emissary]] - Subspace Emissary Stages
* [[Stage Builder]] - [[Sample Stages]]/[[CD Factory]]
 
 
[[Master Hand]],[[Crazy Hand]] and [[Tabuu]] are non-playable characters.
 
[[Sandbag]] and [[Target]] are inanimate characters.
 
[[Subspace Emissary]],[[All-Star Mode]] and [[Stage Builder]] are only game modes.
 
Nintendo DS, [[Electroplankton]] and [[Animal Crossing]] are representative elements.
 
==Home advantage==
There is no clear or consistent benefit to a character fighting on his "home stage." In some cases it may be to a character's disadvantage to be fighting on his home stage, for example [[Ness]] is unable to use his third jump when knocked between buildings in [[Fourside]](''Melee''). In ''[[SSBB]]'', [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]]'s [[Final Smash]] makes him immobile. If used on [[Rumble Falls]], a scrolling stage, it will possibly result in a self-destruct, but when he is using his airborne, he moves along with the stage.
However, in contrast, some stages do offer advantages to some characters. For example, [[Zelda (SSBB) | Zelda]]'s [[Light Arrow | Final Smash]] is much easier to use, and harder to dodge on the [[Bridge of Eldin]].
