Pyrosphere is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage is set in the Pyrosphere area of Metroid: Other M.

Overview

The main body of the Pyrosphere stage is fairly long aerial platform with a metallic surface. Above it, float four platforms, arranged in a parallelogram shape. These platforms are also metallic, with a strip of green along the side. In the background, there is a flow of fire, but it is unknown if this affects the stage.

On Miiverse, Masahiro Sakurai provided a caption when revealing the stage, which reads "An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…" Because of this, some speculate that a character such as Ridley will appear as a stage hazard, but this is unconfirmed.

Origin

Pyrosphere is a significant area in Metroid: Other M. The stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is based on the area of Pyrosphere, named the Geothermal Power Plant, that Samus Aran would encounter and battle Ridley. This area's appearance in Other M is the same as it is in Smash 4; the bridge that Ridley burns down appears destroyed in Smash 4 as well as the magma-eruption port that Samus destroys to light the area. However, the four floating platforms of the stage are not present in Other M.

Trivia

• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the second fighting game to feature the Pyrosphere as a stage. Because Team Ninja helped develop Other M, they were able to include a Pyrosphere stage in Dead or Alive Dimensions using the name "Geothermal Power Plant". It resembled the Super Smash Bros. stage, but lacked the floating platforms.
  • During gameplay, Ridley would attack the combatants with fireballs, and would scrape them along the wall as a stage hazard, which furthers speculation that Ridley will appear as a stage hazard in Pyrosphere.
