Midgar (ミッドガル, Midgar) is a Final Fantasy stage in Super Smash Bros. 4 which will be made available as downloadable content, as part of a set with Cloud.

Stage layout

The basic layout of the stage is very simple, similar to Battlefield. However, several summons can appear to disrupt the battle:

  • Odin: Cuts right through the stage's center with its sword causing the stage to split similar to Brinstar. Anyone sliced by it will take vertical knockback. Greatly resembles Zantetsuken.
  • Leviathan: Floods the arena, making the main platform surf across a huge body of water. Resembles Tsunami.
  • Ramuh: Electrifies the three floating platforms. Resembles Judgment Bolt.
  • Ifrit: Attacks with fire magic, tilting the stage to the side. Resembles Hellfire.
  • Bahamut Zero: Attacks with a devastating flare, which destroys the city in the background and creates a damaging pillar of light on the stage. Resembles Teraflare.

Origin

Midgar is the the first area visited in Final Fantasy VII and is the location for much of the game's beginning. Midgar is the capital city and power base of the Shinra Electric Power Company, the city is divided up into nine sectors. In SSB4, the stage appears to take place on Midgar's top plates, above the ground-level slums that were commonly explored in the original game.

The Shinra Building, one of the most iconic locations in Final Fantasy VII, is visible in the background. A prominent dungeon within the game, it is the headquarters for the Shinra company which plays a central role in FFVII's storyline.

Trivia

  • Midgar is the first stage in the series to be based on a game that has never been released on a Nintendo system in any form.
  • Midgar also appears as a stage on Dissidia Final Fantasy.
