Moray Towers (タチウオパーキング, Beltfish Parking) is an upcoming stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Stage layout

Moray Towers has multiple floors to it, each at an angle. When the player runs towards a floor, they go on the downwards floor. The floors also act as soft platforms, allowing for multiple levels of fighting.

Right before the match starts, during the on-screen appearances, off-screen Inklings will fire ink at the stage, though this is solely for aesthetic purposes. When a player is in the lead, Judd and Li'l Judd will hold up the victory flags from Splatoon and Splatoon 2, with appropriate coloring for the player (red if Player 1, blue if Player 2, etc.), and will also get launched into the air when a player gets KO'd. The stage also appears to have a day-night cycle.

Origin

Moray Towers is a stage from Splatoon, and was one of only two stages from the original game to be available at launch in Splatoon 2. Like in Smash Bros., the stage has escalating paths for players to cover in ink - one on each side, for each team - with a main area at the bottom for combat. The spawn points are located at the top of the stage, and players have to work their way down if they want to return to the forefront. Unlike the layout in Smash Bros., the paths are not strictly on top of one another, instead forming a valley-like shape.

Judd serves as the referee in Splatoon, showing up at the end of matches to determine which team won the match. He is accompanied by Li'l Judd in Splatoon 2.

Trivia

• If the timer has reached 30 seconds in a timed match, a shortened version of the Splatoon music track "Now or Never" will play. This track is used to signal the final minute of a Turf War in Splatoon. Splatoon 2 uses a different version of "Now or Never".
  • However, if it is currently night time in the stage, a shortened version of the version of "Now or Never" that is played during a Splatfest in Splatoon will be played instead.
    • This makes Moray Towers one of the few stages in the Smash Bros. series to change music when there is 30 seconds left during a timed match, the others are Mushroom Kingdom (SSB), Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM), Mushroom Kingdom II, and Suzaku Castle (if Ryu Stage Type A/B or Ken Stage Type A/B is currently playing).
