Ω forms (Omega forms, also known as Final Destination forms) (終点化, lit. Final Destination forms) are alternate versions of stages in Super Smash Bros. 4 which modify them to have a Final Destination-like layout, consisting of a single flat platform with all stage hazards removed. Pressing the X button on the stage select screen in the 3DS version will fill the circular cursor with either 終点 (Japanese), Ω (other languages) or DF (PAL French version, 3DS only), allowing Ω Form stages to be selected. There is also an option in the rules to have the game automatically select Ω Form stages at random; this is how stages are selected in For Glory mode. Ω Form stages can also be selected at random by pressing the X button and selecting Random on the stage select screen. Final Destination itself can be selected as an Ω Form stage, but this doesn't change its layout.

Differences

Ω Form stages are not all functionally identical, as the shape of the platform's underside varies, with some stages having walls all the way down to the lower blast line. This can have a significant impact on characters' recovery; for example, Little Mac gains a tremendous advantage on an Ω Form stage with walls, as despite his normally abysmal recovery, he has a very strong wall jump, aiding his recovery significantly. Other characters, such as Mario and Mii Gunner also gain advantages to varying degrees. This advantage, however, is strangely not applicable to Pac-Land as it is impossible to wall jump despite the presence of walls.

Certain Ω stages also have top blast lines at slightly different heights compared to Final Destination. For example, Ω Battlefield, Duck Hunt, Jungle Hijinxs, Kalos Pokémon League, Luigi's Mansion, Lylat Cruise, Onett, Pokémon Stadium 2, Skyloft, Temple, and Town and City all have lower blast lines, while Halberd, Coliseum, and Palutena's Temple have higher blast lines. Ω stages with grass along the plane where battles occur also have increased friction, with the exception of Super Mario Maker.

Also, Ω Form stages have Star KOs and Screen KOs enabled. This does not occur in all Ω stages, however. Some stages such as Jungle Hijinxs have Star and Screen KOs if played in their original form, but when played in their Ω Form layouts, Star and Screen KOs are enabled.

Trivia

• The E3 2013 Developer Direct showed footage of Mario, Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer fighting on Battlefield Ω before the official announcement of the Ω Forms of stages in the Super Smash Bros. Direct.
• Suzaku Castle is the only stage to retain interactive elements from its original form in its Ω Form, as the signs that appear behind the fighters can still be destroyed.
