(I wouldn't call it a billboard, but she does appear on the tvs at the start of the second loop. I want to say the unknown person is Korrina because she has a Lucario and the person appears to have a skirt like her, but the resolution and lack of giant ponytail makes it hard to determine. This is also mentioned on Diantha's bulba page but not the Prism Tower one) |

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.

Like [[Saffron City]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Spear Pillar]], there are Pokémon that appear in the background. {{pkmn|Helioptile}} can be seen on the ground, while {{pkmn|Magnemite}}, [[Zapdos]], {{pkmn|Emolga}}, and {{pkmn|Yveltal}} can be seen while the platform flies around the tower.

In {{for3ds}}, Prism Tower was a counterpick stage. However, despite not having intrusive hazards, it still has many features considered unusual for legal stages in ''SSB4'', such as being a touring stage with an initial walkoff section and another section with multiple platforms with grabbable edges. Its status as a legal stage is largely owed to the poor availability of competitively suitable stages in the 3DS version, and due to its unpopularity in competitive settings | In {{for3ds}}, Prism Tower was a counterpick stage.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Prism Tower is universally banned, thanks to the larger availability of more conventional competitive stages. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

With the exception of the legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Yveltal, the Pokémon that appear in the background seem to reference Clemont's team in his Gym Battle; Emolga, {{s|bulbapedia|Heliolisk}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Magneton}} (the latter two being evolved forms of Helioptile and Magnemite). | |||
