Smashville is a stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, based off of the Animal Crossing franchise. Players battle on a platform with a moving horizontal jump-through platform suspended above an Animal Crossing town while spectators watch on. The stage's scenery changes from night to day depending on the Wii's internal clock. If the stage is selected during the day, if either Blathers or Celeste (both owls) are present in the background, they will be asleep and not pay attention to the match.
Incidentally, it is impossible to name a town "Smashville" in Animal Crossing or Animal Crossing: Wild World - the maximum amount of characters allowed is eight, but "Smashville" is ten letters long.
The stage goes along with Wii built-in clock. At night, it gets darker save for a few lights. Also, on Saturdays 8.00 PM-12.00 AM, K.K. Slider will perform one of six different songs.
Though there is an Animal Crossing stage, there is no Animal Crossing playable character.
Also, small, red balloons sometimes float overhead, usually holding food, however, the balloons can be popped with one hit. This is a reference to how sometimes in Animal Crossing, balloons carrying mysterious presents would come floating by.

Animal Crossing version controversy
The debate over which version of Animal Crossing Smashville is based on is a source of controversy within both the Smash community and the Animal Crossing community.
There are some features of the stage which contradict the Stage Select screen, where it states it is based on Animal Crossing: Wild World (AC:WW):
- The song "2 a.m." does not appear in AC:WW at any point, even while playing at 2-3 in the morning.
- The characters in the background have been rendered since their appearances in AC:WW.
- The name "Smashville" is too long for it to be the name of a town. "Smashville" has ten characters, while AC:WW only allows for eight.
This has lead some to believe the stage is based on the Wii sequel, Animal Crossing: City Folk (AC:CF). However there are also observations to suggest it is not based on AC:CF:
- In AC:CF, bridges are arched. Smashville's bridges are clearly flat.
- AC:CF towns will have 'cliffs'. The background in Smashville shows a flat terrain.
- Some background characters on Smashville appear in AC:CF's new City feature (Gracie has her own store, GracieGrace for example), hinting they will not come to town as a visitor in AC:CF.
Therefore, there is no conclusive proof that the stage is based on either AC:WW or AC:CF, only speculation, leading some to conclude that Smashville is simply a generic Animal Crossing stage only.
