Town and City (村と街, Muratomachi) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage is set in the village and the city variants from Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii.

Overview

Fighters will fight on a single main platform consisting of two platforms. The main platform will travel in an upward circular-motion and stop in the village and the city. During each stop, a background platform with special Animal Crossers watching will hover behind the main stage. It is currently unknown how long each section of the stage is.

Like the previous Animal Crossing stage, Smashville, the stage has been shown to take place at different times of day, including day, evening, and night. Sometimes, the Roost can be seen in the background of the stage.

Origin

This stage originates from Animal Crossing: City Folk. One main platform joined with two smaller floating platforms are used as the fighting arena. The stage literally revolves around the Animal Crossing: City Folk village and city. An extra background platform consisting of Animal Crossers hovers behind the main arena whenever it stops. Some of the villagers are city/village exclusive.

In 2001, a Japanese Nintendo 64 game called Animal Forest was released, which is the first game in the Animal Crossing franchise. Animal Forest was translated, and ported to the GameCube as Animal Crossing (also known as Animal Crossing: Population Growing) with some added features, such as the Able Sisters building and the Museum. As Animal Forest is the first Animal Crossing game, the GameCube version is a remake of the same game.

Each Animal Crossing game is mostly set in a small town. A typical town can be seen in the Town variation of this stage. Here are all the buildings that appear in the background in the Town variation:

Building Origin Game Purpose
Able Sisters Animal Crossing Design patterns for shirts and umbrellas, which the player can then wear or trade.
Animal Villager Houses Animal Crossing (design from City Folk) Residence of the non-playable villager characters.
Fountain Animal Crossing: City Folk Appears in front of the gate after the second town fund is completed.
Museum Animal Crossing Where the player can donate their bugs, fish, paintings, and fossils that they caught for viewing.
Nook's Cranny Animal Crossing (design from Wild World and City Folk) The first incarnation of Tom Nook's store where purchases of a small variety of items can be made.
Player's House Animal Crossing (design from City Folk) Residence of the player who can buy furniture, wallpaper, and floor designs for the interior.
Town Gate Animal Crossing: City Folk (Castle style) Allows the player to visit another player's town.
Town Hall Animal Crossing: Wild World Where the player pays off his or her debt to Tom Nook, reports other villagers, send mail etc.

The town itself in SSB4 retains almost everything that can be seen in a town in the Animal Crossing series such as trees, rocks, flowers, a river, bridges, etc. The bus station in the Town can be seen by the Town Gate, and there a bus sign on the same platform as the arena itself.

In City Folk, the player can go to the bus stop in the town and take a bus to the city. The city contains various shops and hosts events. The overall design of the City variation of this stage in SSB4 is retained. The buildings that can be seen so far in the background include:

Building Purpose
Auction House Where items can be displayed and bid on by the player and their friends via Wi-Fi.
GracieGrace Where expensive furniture, clothes and accessories are sold.
Happy Room Academy Players can check their score here, and it is also where the model room is.
The Marquee A theater where the player can learn emotions.
