Meta Crystal (メタ・クリスタル), also known as Metal Mario's Stage, Metal Cavern and a variety of other names, is the stage on which Metal Mario is fought in the 1P Game of Super Smash Bros.. This stage can be accessed only in 1P Game or through hacking.
Stage layout
The main platform of the stage is a large clump of metal crystals. Its upper surface is irregular and is slightly raised on the right and, to a lesser extent, on the left. A soft platform encased in metal wires hovers above the main one.
The stage is quite small, probably to counter how difficult it is to hit Metal Mario offstage.
Origin
Meta crystal is most likely based on Super Mario 64's Cavern of the Metal Cap, considering that both involve Metal Mario and contain various crystals. The platform and wire walls match those of Hazy Maze Cave, which is the only way to access Metal Cavern.
