Prism Tower (プリズムタワー, Prism Tower) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It originates from the Pokémon universe and is set in Lumiose City of the Kalos region.

Stage overview

The stage begins on the streets in front of the tower's base in broad daylight. A few seconds into the battle, moving platforms will appear and must be jumped onto to begin the ascent to the top. Near the top, the sun begins to set, and it turns nighttime once at the top, where the players can continue to fight.[1] Eventually, the platform flies away from the tower, then down back to the front of the tower's base as daylight returns. The stage always plays out in a set order for the same amount of time.

Like Saffron City, Pokémon Stadium 2, and Spear Pillar, there are Pokémon that appear in the background. Helioptile can be seen on the ground, while Magnemite, Zapdos, Emolga, and Yveltal can be seen while the platform flies around the tower.

Ω forms and Battlefield form

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Ω form is set on a metallic platform far above the ground, with the city seen in the background.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Ω form and Battlefield form are similar to SSB4's Ω form; however, the main platform is redesigned, and it is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form resemble the ones in the normal form. Unlike in SSB4, where the stage stayed in nighttime, Ultimate's variants feature a day-night cycle.

Origin

Prism Tower as it originally appeared in Pokémon X and Y.

In Pokémon X and Y, Lumiose City is at the center of the Kalos region and is the largest city in the Pokémon world. The Prism Tower, in Centrico Plaza, is actually the Lumiose Gym, where the player battles Clemont—an Electric-type specialist—for the Voltage Badge after solving a series of questions involving Pokémon. The design of the Prism Tower is based on the Eiffel Tower (Lumiose City itself is based on Paris).

Trophy

The Prism Tower trophy is exclusive to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
