Hollow Bastion (ホロウバスティオン, Hollow Bastion) is a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on the location of the same name from the Kingdom Hearts series. It is the home stage of Sora, and is bundled with him as part of Challenger Pack 11.

Stage overview

The stage is primarily a floating, traveling platform, with one extra platform on top, that soars in the skies around the outside of the Hollow Bastion castle.

When time, stocks, or health are running low, the stage transforms into Dive to the Heart (ダイブ・トゥ・ハート, Dive to Heart), which keeps the same layout, but features multiple intricate designs in the background, based on the platforms themselves. One of seven artistic designs, based on the platforms in Dive to the Heart, will appear in the background, with cameos from different characters and objects:

• Sora's design has Riku, Kairi, a Paopu Fruit, and a raft.
• Riku's design has Sora, Naminé, and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
• Roxas's design has Axel, Xion, and Riku, as he appears in 358/2 Days.
• Xion's design has Axel, Saïx, Xemnas, and Sora.
• Terra's design has Ventus, Aqua, and the Wayfinders they each possess.
• Ventus's design exclusively has Wayfinders, uniquely lacking any other characters.
• Aqua's design has Terra, Ventus, Vanitas, and Xehanort.

Ω form and Battlefield form

The platform is kept the same, albeit reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield's size.

Origin

Hollow Bastion serves as the penultimate world in the original Kingdom Hearts, traveled to after visiting Neverland. After a brief encounter with Riku, Sora loses the Keyblade, Donald, and Goofy, due to their mission being to stay with the wielder of the Keyblade. With help from Beast, Sora travels through the giant castle to make his way to Riku, and ultimately fights him after the Keyblade returns back to Sora after a heartfelt speech.

Dive to the Heart serves as the starting location in the original Kingdom Hearts, and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials. In the numbered Kingdom Hearts titles, the player learns basic combat and game controls.

Trivia

• Sora's station design, as it originally appears, has Donald Duck and Goofy appear as well, though they were removed in Ultimate. This is likely due to Disney's stand on copyright, or also because Goofy and Donald are not characters that originated from a videogame.
