The very high ceiling of the stage provides a large advantage for [[floaty]] characters, as it makes them significantly less vulnerable to quick vertical KO setups, such as {{SSBM|Fox}}'s up throw to up aerial combo or {{SSBM|Marth}}'s up tilt. Additionally, the large stage size and higher platform placement compared to other three-platform neutral stages allow for greater flexibility in movement and spacing, especially for characters like {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, Fox, and {{SSBM|Falco}}. The placement of the highest platform also serves as an outpost for certain characters to escape pressure, allowing easier camping and employment of defensive strategies. Due to this, Dream Land greatly benefits players who are stronger in the neutral game, and generally fosters slightly slower and more methodical gameplay compared to smaller neutral stages. | The very high ceiling of the stage provides a large advantage for [[floaty]] characters, as it makes them significantly less vulnerable to quick vertical KO setups, such as {{SSBM|Fox}}'s up throw to up aerial combo or {{SSBM|Marth}}'s up tilt.

However, Dream Land hinders characters who rely on platform pressure or require close quarters to pressure opponents. The Ice Climbers are perhaps the most hindered by this, as their harder matchups become even more difficult. The large stage size gives characters like Fox and Peach more room to camp them, avoid [[wobbling]], and employ hit-and-run strategies that they cannot properly combat due to their poor aerial game. Marth is also hindered by Dream Land; while the stage enables him to make better use of his movement, the higher platform placement makes it harder or impossible for his grounded attacks to strike through them from below, hindering his ability to pressure opponents on platforms. | However, Dream Land hinders characters who rely on platform pressure or require close quarters to pressure opponents.

In addition, Dreamland's large ceilings make Marth's weaknesses shine more, as he is infamously less capable of killing than other adjacent top tiers. | ||
