The name "Battlefield" is retroactively applied to this stage, as redesigns of this stage that have appeared in later games in the series share that name. This stage's official name in Japanese, {{ja|デュエルゾーン}} (Duel Zone), doesn't match the name for Battlefield in the Japanese versions of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', both of which use the name {{ja|戦場}} (''Senjō'', Battlefield). Because of the similarities to the later Battlefield stages and the disagreement with the Japanese name, this stage has no clear name in English.

Duel Zone (デュエルゾーン, Duel Zone),[1] also known as Battlefield or the Fighting Polygon Stage,[citation needed] is a stage in Super Smash Bros., home to the Fighting Polygon Team in the 1P Game.

The name "Battlefield" is retroactively applied to this stage, as redesigns of this stage that have appeared in later games in the series share that name, and no name in other languages was widely-known before the Battlefield name was popularized. However, this stage's official name in Japanese, デュエルゾーン, Duel Zone, doesn't match the name for Battlefield in the Japanese versions of Melee and later games, all of which use the name 戦場, Battlefield. In addition, the music for this stage appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate under the title "Duel Zone", while event tournaments Hailing from the '90s and The Year Is 200X each feature one of Battlefield and Final Destination but not the other (despite both debuting in the 1999 release Super Smash Bros. before being selectable stages in the 2001 release Super Smash Bros. Melee), suggesting its English name as also dissimilar from its successors.

Stage overview[edit]

Duel Zone in a hacked VS Game.

Like its successors, it features a large main platform with three overhanging soft platforms. It's overall smaller than the Melee and Brawl versions, and also lacks Melee's infamous ledges on its main platform. It also has a higher ceiling than its Melee counterpart. The only way to use the stage for a multiplayer match is through hacking.

Tournament legality[edit]

The stage is generally banned in competitive play: besides the fact that it needs a hacking device to be accessed, there is also a glitch where characters are automatically KO'd if they Smash DI into the stage. However, some tournaments that use specialized rulesets (such as GENESIS 5 and GENESIS 6) allow the stage as a legal counterpick stage for doubles, provided that the glitch has been fixed.

Trivia[edit]

  • This is the only Battlefield that is not a playable stage in VS Mode without hacking.
