Prism Tower (プリズムタワー, Prism Tower) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It originates from the Pokémon universe, and is set in Lumiose City of the Kalos region.
Overview
The stage begins on the streets in front of the tower's base in broad daylight. A few seconds into the battle, moving platforms will appear and must be jumped onto to begin the ascent to the top. Near the top, the sun begins to set, and it turns nighttime once at the top, where the players can continue to fight.[1] Eventually, the platform flies away from the tower, then down back to the front of the tower's base as daylight returns. The stage always plays out in a set order for the same amount of time.
Like Saffron City, Pokémon Stadium 2 and Spear Pillar, there are Pokémon that appear in the background. Helioptile and Shinx can be seen on the ground, while Magnemite, Zapdos and Yveltal can be seen while the platform flies around the tower.
Origin
In Pokémon X and Y, Lumiose City is at the center of the Kalos region and is currently the largest city in the Pokémon world. The Prism Tower, in Centrico Plaza, is actually the Lumiose Gym, where the player battles Clemont, an Electric-type specialist, for the Voltage Badge, the fifth badge in the Pokémon League, after solving a series of questions involving Pokémon. The design of Prism Tower is based on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and Lumiose City itself is based on Paris.
