Dream Land (Pupupu Land in Japan) is a stage that appears in the original Super Smash Bros. and returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee as Past Stages: Dream Land.

Dream Land can also refer to the area in which the following stages are located: Dream Land (from Super Smash Bros.); Fountain of Dreams, Green Greens, Past Stages: Dream Land (all from Super Smash Bros. Melee); and Battleship Halberd (from Super Smash Bros. Brawl).

The stage was first introduced in Super Smash Bros.. This is also the stage where you fight the group of Kirbys. This is a rather simple stage. It is similar to other stages like Super Smash Bros. Melee's Battlefield and Fountain of Dreams where it has 3 platforms floating over a main one. Whispy Woods, a recurring boss in the Kirby series, is also in the middle of the stage, facing left. He will blow toward one side of the stage every so often to mess up the battle. His wind seems a little more powerful than it is in Melee's similar stage, Green Greens, likely because that he blows it more often there. This stage is legal in SSB competitive play. Bronto Burts and King Dedede can also be seen flying in the far background.

Past Stages: Dream Land

Dream Land is also available in Super Smash Bros. Melee under this name, and is one of the three unlockable Past Stages from Super Smash Bros. You unlock this stage by beating target test with every character. Like all Past Stages it is completly unchanged.

This stage is neutral in SSBM.

This is considered Peach's, Samus's (against certain characters), and Ganondorf's best stage. It is also considered the most neutral Smash stage ever, according to a 2004 Japanese poll on Melee (which obviously did not include any stages from Super Smash Bros. Brawl).

Origins

Dream Land is the generic term used for Kirby's home land, paralleling Mario's Mushroom Kingdom or the Link's Hyrule. Whispy Woods was a common boss, and was the first boss of the entire Kirby series. A wind attack is used by Whispy Woods in the Kirby series; however, this attack consisted of air puffs that caused damage and could not push the player. King Dedede is the main recurring villian in the Kirby series and the Bronto Burt is a common enemy.

Trivia

• Kirby Beta Stage 1 and Kirby Beta Stage 2 each can be found in the debug menu.

• The stage is slightly larger in Melee than it is in SSB
