{{cquote|''The tower in Lumiose City from ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. The platforms that the fighters battle on float around the tower itself.''|cite=[[Super Smash Bros. 4 Official Site|''Super Smash Bros. 4'' Official Site]]}}
'''Prism Tower''' ({{ja|プリズムタワー|Purizumu Tawā}}, ''Prism Tower'') is a stage in {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It originates from the {{uv|Pokémon}} universe and is set in {{s|bulbapedia|Lumiose City}} of the {{s|bulbapedia|Kalos}} region.


'''Lumiose City''' is a stage in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. The stage is set in Lumiose City of the Kalos region.
==Stage overview==
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. Near the top, the sun begins to set, and it turns nighttime once at the top, where the players can continue to fight.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFysvtvtA</ref> Eventually, the platform flies away from the tower, then down back to the front of the tower's base as daylight returns. The stage always plays out in a set order for the same amount of time.


==Overview==
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 (save for Yveltal, all the appearing Pokémon are Electric-type, matching the theme of the Lumiose City Gym). The base of the tower features two televisions that cycle between advertisements. These include advertisements for {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon-Amie}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Trainer PR Video}}s, {{iw|bulbapedia|Roller Skates}}, the {{iw|bulbapedia|Gogoat Shuttle}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Holo Caster}}s, and film advertisements featuring Kalos Champion {{iw|bulbapedia|Diantha}}, a [[Lucario]], and another indistinguishable character.
The stage's layout and other information about how the stage will play is currently unknown at this time, other than that players will be able to fight on the top of the tower, but won't be restricted to it for the entire match.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFysvtvtA</ref>
 
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the [[Ω form]] is set on a metallic platform far above the ground, with the city seen in the background.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to ''SSB4''{{'}}s Ω form; however, the main platform is redesigned, and it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form resemble the ones in the normal form. Unlike in ''SSB4'', where the stage always takes place at night, ''Ultimate''{{'}}s variants feature a day-night cycle.

==Tournament legality==
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, Prism Tower is hardly ever seen in competitive play.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Prism Tower is universally banned, thanks to the larger availability of more conventional competitive stages.
 
==Update history==
'''{{GameIcon|ssbu}} 3.1.0'''
*Prism Tower's on-screen appearances and revival platforms locations have been changed.


==Origin==
==Origin==
In ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}'', Lumiose City is at the center of the {{s|bulbapedia|Kalos}} region and is considered the largest city in the Pokémon world. It is home to {{s|bulbapedia|Professor Sycamore}}, who gives the player one of the three Kanto starters at his lab, [[bulbapedia:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]], [[bulbapedia:Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]] and [[Squirtle]] (earlier, he sends one of the three Kalos Pokémon to the player: [[bulbapedia:Chespin (Pokémon)|Chespin]], [[bulbapedia:Fennekin (Pokémon)|Fennekin]] and [[bulbapedia:Froakie (Pokémon)|Froakie]]). The Prism Tower, in Centrico Plaza, is actually the {{s|bulbapedia|Lumiose Gym}}, where the player battles {{s|bulbapedia|Clemont}} for the fifth {{s|bulbapedia|badge}}. It has 5 plazas, Magenta, Rouge, Jaune, Vert, and Bleu, and has 4 main roads, Vernal, Hibernal, Autumnal, and Estival, each one bursting with shops.
[[File:Prism Tower XY.jpg|thumb|left|Prism Tower as it originally appeared in ''Pokémon X and Y''.]]
In ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}'', Lumiose City is at the center of the Kalos region and is the largest city in the Pokémon world. The Prism Tower, in Centrico Plaza, also serves as the {{s|bulbapedia|Lumiose Gym}}, where the player battles {{s|bulbapedia|Clemont}}—an Electric-type specialist—for the {{s|bulbapedia|Voltage Badge}} after solving a series of questions involving Pokémon. The design of the Prism Tower is based on the {{s|wikipedia|Eiffel Tower}} (Lumiose City itself is based on {{s|wikipedia|Paris}}).
 
In terms of design, the tower in ''Smash'' has a composite between its game version (with the more arched entrance, the yellow gym leader symbol, and more outside flora) and its anime version (with more tinted windows and glass doors).
 
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).
