Tortimer Island (コトブキランド, Kotobuki Land) is a stage in the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It was confirmed on March 7th, 2014. Its layout is assigned at random each time the stage is played on.

Layout

In Tortimer Island, the island itself is the arena. It appears to be a single platform surrounded by water, although the layout of the stage is assigned at random every time it is used. It is possible for a pool of water to appear in the middle of the island. The shop can be seen in the background and, as it appears with the available screenshots, Leila and Tortimer appear as background characters by the shop. Kapp'n also appears as a background character on the dock, which is now located on the side of the island. He comes and goes from time to time, and whenever he does, he is on his motorboat, which can be used as a stationary, solid platform until he leaves. A shark can be seen in the water, possibly as a sort of hazard. It has also been shown that the tops of the palm trees can be stood on by characters. Some screenshots show various fruits lying around, but it is currently unknown how they appear, or what their purpose will be.

Origin

Four players on Tortimer Island as it originally appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Tortimer Island first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. To access the island, the player pays Kapp'n to drive him/her to the island with his motorboat. When the player lands on the island, the player starts inside the shop where rarer items can be purchased. Kapp'n's family, Grams, Leilani, and Leila, work in the shop. Tortimer himself greets the player on his/her first visit, but Kapp'n appears in his place afterwards. The shop itself is located on the north edge of the island and is connected to the dock. The rest of the island consists of trees that grow fruits that can not be found anywhere else, flowers, bushes, and a beach that goes all around the island.

The island in New Leaf does not have a different layout each time a game is started, although the island may have a different appearance on another save file of the game. However, a pool of water will never appear on the ground of the island, as it can in Super Smash Bros. 4.

In the Animal Crossing games, the player can go fishing with a fishing rod to catch various kinds fish during certain seasons of the year. Ever since Animal Crossing: Wild World sharks have been able to be caught. In this stage, sharks appear in a currently unknown capacity.
