Boxing Ring (特設リング, Special Ring) is a stage in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. The stage is set in the boxing ring used in the World Circuit of Punch-Out!! for the Wii.

Overview

A generic indoor stadium with a jumbotron, with a visible audience in the background, and fights taking place in a boxing ring. It has been shown that characters can stand on the ropes surrounding the ring and perform spring jumps off of them for extra height. In addition, the light fixture above the ring can be stood on, and it can be destroyed when players attack it, dropping it onto the ring and dimming the lighting of the entire stage. The light fixture can damage players as it falls and cause potential KOs at high percentages.

It was shown to have "Smash Bros." signs and symbols initially, which made it unclear what universe the stage was from or if it was an original Smash stage. At Little Mac's reveal however, the Smash symbols were shown replaced with Punch-Out!! logos, showing that the stage is indeed a Punch-Out!! stage as was speculated since the stage's reveal. This led people to believe the Smash symbols were just placeholders to hide the fact it was a Punch-Out!! stage and by extension Little Mac's inclusion in the earlier trailers, but in a later Miiverse post by Sakurai, it was confirmed that the earlier seen Smash version will be another version of the stage. They are identical besides aesthetics.

Only images of the Wii U Boxing Ring had been revealed for a large duration of Smash 4's pre-release, and it was only with the official announcement of Little Mac that the 3DS version was finally revealed. While the same in terms of layout, the WiiU version of the stage has the exclusive feature of showing a custom versus splash on the screen in the style of the original Punch-Out Arcade game, complete with the characters having unique titles.

Origin

The boxing ring for the World Circuit as it appeared in Punch-Out!! for the Wii.

In every home-console Punch-Out!! game, the player plays as Little Mac as he works his way up in professional boxing circuits to become the World Video Boxing Assocation (WVBA) champion. The last circuit that Little Mac goes through is the World Circuit. The Punch-Out!! variation of this stage is loosely based on the World Circuit boxing ring that appears in Punch-Out!! for the Wii. The design of the ring itself has been retained in Super Smash Bros. 4, as well as the scrolling text in the background; however, the text in Punch-Out!! read "World Circuit" rather than "Punch-Out!!".

Trivia

  • As Punch-Out!! is itself a fighting game series, Boxing Ring is one of only three stages in the Super Smash Bros. series to be featured as a stage in fighting games outside of the Super Smash Bros. series, the others being Green Hill Zone and Pyrosphere.
  • When a character performs their Final Smash, the scrolling text says "Chance!" instead of "Punch-Out"/"Smash Bros.".
    • In addition, whenever a character gets a KO, the scrolling text says "KO!". It also says "KO!" on the screen.
  • Holding the L trigger while selecting the stage will load an alternate version of the level where the symbol in the middle of the ring is the Super Smash Bros. logo.
