A stage transformation is a feature that is used for certain stages starting in Super Smash Bros. Melee on. Stage transformations vary greatly in differences, with some stages changing minimally, while others will become noticeably different. Typically, transforming stages in the Super Smash Bros. series are banned from tournament play, depending on how majorly a transformation can affect a match.

Stage Transformations

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Stage	Games	Tranformation type	Notes
Brinstar Depths		Complete Transformation	As the players are fighting, Kraid will occasionally appear in the background, swiping at the stage with his claws. When hit, the stage will slowly spin either left or right, depending on which claw Kraid uses.
Mute City		Scrolling	This stage starts as a platform and floats along the track, occasionally dropping down on the road, leaving players vulnerable to the racers driving through.
Pokémon Stadium		Complete Transformation	There are five variations: Basic, Grass, Water, Fire, and Rock. One can determine which variation it will change into on the large screen in the background. The layout of the stage will depend on which variation is used. For example, the Water variation features a pond, a windmill that functions as a spinning platform, and two platforms to the right.
Princess Peach's Castle		Platform Appearance	At various points during a match, buttons will appear on the stage. If a player were to press it, platforms and "!" Blocks appear in varying colors, depending on the color of the button pressed.
Venom		Scrolling	While the stage layout itself does not change, the stage will fly through a cave, capable of causing launching players to bounce off of a ceiling or wall.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Stage	Games	Tranformation type	Notes
Castle Siege		Complete Transformation	This stage has three different forms, transforming into the second form about 40 seconds into a match. The first form takes place on top of a kingdom, the second stage is in a throne room, with destructible statues functioning as platforms, and an underground level with a somewhat similar layout to Final Destination, before reverting back to the first form.
Delfino Plaza		Scrolling	Much like Mute City in Melee, Delfino Plaza starts on a platform, floating across the Delfino Plaza and making occasional stops in the various areas. Unlike Mute City however, there are no stage hazards.
Flat Zone 2		Complete Transformation	This stage has four forms: Fire, Oil Panic, Lion, and Chef, all of which are based on the Game & Watch games that were released back in 1981.
Frigate Orpheon		Complete Transformation	Every so often, lights will flash and an alarm will sound, and the stage will flip upside down. This can become troublesome, as players can become disoriented by its sudden change and could cause them to self-destruct.
Halberd		Scrolling	Starting as a floor with walkoff blast lines, the floor later opens and a platform rises out of it, then becoming similar to Mute City, until stopping on top of the Halberd, becoming a flat stage with a single platform above.
Luigi's Mansion		Complete Transformation	The mansion is completely destructible, divided into four sections. When all sections are destroyed, the stage then has a similar layout to Final Destination, before the stage rebuilds itself.
PictoChat		Complete Transformation	PictoChat contains 27 different variations, including Standard, the standard version, Fire, a variation with fire as stage hazards, and Missiles, a variation with missiles as stage hazards.
Pokémon Stadium 2		Complete Transformation	Functions almost identically to Pokémon Stadium. The variations are Basic, Electric, Flying, Ground, and Ice, all with layouts and background Pokémon relating to the variation.
Port Town Aero Dive		Scrolling	Functionally identical to Melee's Mute City.
WarioWare, Inc.		Complete Transformation	Around every 30 seconds, the door in the background opens and the players must play a Microgame. There are nine possible Microgames that can be played.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Stage	Games	Tranformation type	Notes
Arena Ferox		Complete Transformation	Starting out as a flat stage, platforms occasionally rise from the ground, some of which being destructible.
Coliseum		Complete Transformation	Strikingly similar to Arena Ferox in function, albeit with walkoff blast lines instead.
Flat Zone X		Complete Transformation	Exactly the same as Flat Zone 2, except with the addition of Helmet from Melee's Flat Zone.
Kalos Pokémon League		Complete Transformation	This stage contains five forms: The Main Hall, the Dragonmark Chamber, the Blazing Chamber, the Ironworks Chamber, and the Flood Chamber, each one containing background Pokémon and stage elements relating to the type represented. Rarely, Legendary Pokémon can be encountered, each with unique special effects that affect the stage.
Living Room		Complete Transformation	Objects, such as blocks and a toy mouse, will appear at the top of the stage and fall to the ground, changing the layout of the stage and damaging any players that happen to be underneath it.
