Suzaku Castle (朱雀城, Suzaku Castle) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. 4 based on Ryu's stage from Street Fighter II. The stage takes place on the rooftop of the Japanese castle, and features two long walk-off platforms on the right side of the stage and two smaller platform on the left side. Signposts located on the longest platform will break if a fighter is launched past them. Once all the signs are broken, they will eventually repair.
Ω Form
As the Ω Form of the stage consists of only the main platform centered without the smaller platforms and walk-off areas, it resembles a traditional Street Fighter match. Interestingly, the signposts can be broken even on the Ω version of the stage, making it the only Ω Form stage to have interactable parts (albeit background parts that don't affect the match).
Origin
Suzaku Castle is a stage in Street Fighter II. Ryu is the recurring fighter that the player has to face when they reach Japan.

Trivia
- On this stage, if the current song playing is Ryu Stage Type A or Ken Stage Type A and the timer reaches 30 seconds in a timed match, or the last opponent has one stock left in a stock match, or when the last opponent's HP is under 100 in a stamina match, or during Sudden Death, a sped-up version of the respective song will play. This references Street Fighter II, where the stage music speeds up when a fighter loses half of their health.
- During the video that showed off Suzaku Castle, it stated that the music changing was a series first; this is false, as the Mushroom Kingdom stage in SSB, and the Mushroom Kingdom and Mushroom Kingdom II stages in Melee, also had distinct music that would play near the end of a time match. However, the music on Suzaku Castle also changes when one player is down to one stock in a stock battle, which is a first for the series.
- If songs from this stage are selected in a custom stage, the music will not change when the time changes.

- The kanji written on the destructible signs are "風林火山", or "fūrinkazan", a Japanese expression meaning something along the lines of "As fast as the wind, as quiet as a forest, as daring as fire, and as immovable as a mountain", in reference to The Art of War. These same kanji appear on Ryu's obi.
- The Suzaku Castle is the only downloadable stage bundled with a DLC character - in this case, Ryu.
- On the Omega form of this stage, Ryu will walk right though a sign during his on-screen appearance if he is given the left-most or right-most spawn point.
