Quick notes
- Stage requirements can be very specific. Some stages follow a character unlock, while others need a named fighter’s action.
- Items change the immediate objective. A Smash Ball, recovery item or powerful weapon can make control of one area more valuable than pursuing an opponent across the whole stage.
- Omega forms simplify the battlefield. Many stages offer an Omega version with a flat fighting surface.
- Use a familiar stage to learn a new item. Test the item’s startup and effect before relying on it beside a blast zone.
