Gamer (ゲーマー, Gamer) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, based on the Gamer minigame from Game & Wario.

Stage layout

The stage is set on 9-Volt's desk. Its main platform is always present, but - like Tortimer Island - the rest of its layout is randomized and changes each time the stage is played. Sometimes 5-Volt, 9-Volt, 18-Volt, Spitz, and Ana will appear on the stage as stickers on the table. If the easel is present on the stage, it will flip pages to show pictures of Mona, Jimmy T., and Young Cricket.

Occasionally, 9-Volt's mother, 5-Volt, will enter the room and look for fighters. Her line of sight is represented by a beam of light, which fighters can escape by hiding behind furniture (the layout of the furniture changes every match). If 5-Volt spots a fighter, she will get mad and deal 20% damage and high knockback, and paralyzing the fighter. It is blockable, but deals enough shield damage to break a full shield. She can appear in the doorway (occasionally opening it again), window (occasionally smashing it and she will occasionally go back to the window), TV (occasionally jumping out of it and walking around to spot a fighter), or, if the stage is set a certain way, she will appear from a gaming pad or picture from an easel. Fake-outs can also appear.

In some instances, Pyoro (as seen in the Game & Wario minigame "Bird") will appear on the right side of the stage, and a building from the Game & Wario minigame "Shutter" will appear in the center. Both of these structures still provide ample cover room from 5-Volt.

Fake-outs

These 10 Fake-outs will occur just to scare players and are not harmful.

• A cat will appear at the door instead of 5-Volt.
• The door will crack open, but no one will be visible.
• A man wearing a wig will open the window instead of 5-Volt.
• 5-Volt will duck out of sight from the window, then come back up weirdly spinning like a top. Note that the suspenseful sound will keep playing until she leaves the window.
• 5-Volt may simply pass the window after meeting the man.
• The TV will be static, it can also show a hand making some kind of gesture.
• The TV will show a "SIGNAL LOST" screen.
• A cat will appear on the TV and jump out, running around the room.
• The Gamepad will turn to static, but instead of 5-Volt appearing, it will just power off.
• The suspenseful sound will play, then stops as the easel flips to show a picture other than 5-Volt.

Ω form

The Omega form only features a desk with no other features. 5-Volt will not pop out to attack players, though she'll still appear in the background, and the fake-outs still happen.

Origin

Gamer as it originally appeared in Game & Wario.

Gamer is a minigame in Game & Wario. The player would play as 9-Volt trying to play games past his bedtime (in the form of traditional WarioWare microgames on the Wii U GamePad) while his mother tries to catch him from different locations such as the windowsill and television.

Pressing the ZL and ZR triggers simultaneously makes 9-Volt hide under the covers to avoid her wrath; however, if he spends too much time under the covers, he will fall asleep, ending the game. If his mother spots him, the game ends.

Tournament Legality

Due to the stage's variable layout and the presence of 5-volt as a stage hazard, this stage is universally banned from tournaments.

Trivia

• This is the only stage to have an Original Games/Settings tip attached to it.
• Rarely, 5-Volt will get angry at a player for being in her sight, but the player will not be paralyzed.
• The suspenseful sound will only play if the song playing is gamer, this may make 5-volt catch players by surprise.
