Spring Stadium (スプリングスタジアム, Spring Stadium) is a downloadable stage for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is the home stage of Min Min, as part of Challenger Pack 6, and was released on June 29, 2020.
Stage overview
This stage is set on a flat, floating hard platform in the middle of an arena-like stadium with a single soft platform floating above it. On both edges of the main platform are trampolines that occasionally appear, and the floating platform will also occasionally become a trampoline. If a fighter jumps while standing on a trampoline, they will launch upward with intangibility upon startup (frames 4-9) and deal damage to any opponent in the way (ranging from 8% to 21%; damage increases the earliest the hitbox connects). Small trampolines will also occasionally appear beside the main platform that will automatically launch fighters upward when landed upon. Trampolines can be jumped off of without the high bounce by short hopping. Items can bounce off of active trampolines. There are also two arches above the stage that act as ceilings. Uniquely, the arches are only solid on the bottom sides; therefore, fighters launched above the ceilings are able to fall back through. If items are turned on, ARMS Drones will occasionally carry items onto the stage.
The background consists of a cheering audience of fans dressed in Smash Bros.-themed attire, as well as a screen display. This display shows off visuals representing every playable character in ARMS.
Ω form and Battlefield form
The main platform of the Ω form and Battlefield form is identical to how it appears in the normal form; however, it is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The trampolines on both ledges are also absent. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form resemble the floating soft platform of the normal form and do not become trampolines. The ceilings above the stage are removed, as well as the other arches in the background. The occasional trampolines that appear to the side of the stage also do not appear.
Hazards off
With hazards off, the trampolines on the stage never activate. The small floating trampolines on either side do not appear, and neither do ARMS Drones. The arches that act as ceilings are still present.
Origin
Spring Stadium is a stage in ARMS that is owned and operated by the Spring Gym, and it is the home stage of Spring Man. In ARMS, Spring Stadium is a square, mostly flat stage with trampolines along the perimeter that can be used to jump on for height and bounce opponents off of. In Ultimate, the overall design of Spring Stadium is mostly retained; however, rather than being set on the ground, the stage is set on a floating platform in the middle of the arena with trampolines on the edges that fighters can use to jump off of.
In ARMS, if items are turned on, drones will randomly spawn carrying items that either deal damage to opponents or heal the user. In Ultimate, these drones also randomly spawn carrying items if items are on.
Update history
- The display for Spring Man on Spring Stadium's billboard now properly shows his "S" logo instead of Springtron's "T" logo.
Trivia
- Although Min Min is a fighter and Spring Man is not, the stage is the home stage of the latter. Min Min's home stage in the series is the Ramen Bowl.
- Spring Stadium is one of eight stages in the Super Smash Bros. series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, with the others being the Pyrosphere, Green Hill Zone, Fountain of Dreams, Suzaku Castle, Midgar, Dracula's Castle, and King of Fighters Stadium. Of these, Suzaku Castle, King of Fighters Stadium and Spring Stadium are the only ones that originate from a fighting game.
- When the stage was initally released, there was an error on the electronic billboard displaying the various ARMS fighters. Spring Man was erroneously shown alongside Springtron's stylized "T" logo on the bottom part of the billboard instead of his own "S" logo; even more confusing was the fact that his own "S" logo appears along the top. This was corrected in the 8.1.0 update.
- The Screw Attack will not spawn here, likely due to the trampolines.
- The Assist Trophies that can't be summoned are Arcade Bunny, Devil, and Moon. Additionally, Lunala can't be summoned.
