The '''Online Practice Stage''' (informally known by other names, such as the "Wi-Fi Waiting Room" or the "Waiting Room") is a non-selectable stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is used when a player waits for a [[Wi-Fi]] match to begin; the player is also given the opportunity to practice for the match against [[Sandbag]] or a [[artificial intelligence|CPU opponent]], using their selected character. In {{for3ds}} and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the stage is also used when waiting for a local wireless match to begin.

The stage is completely flat with a pair of edges on each side, similar to a larger {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. The stage also has its own unique, short music track that can be heard in the [[Sound Test]]. When Sandbag touches the bottom or side [[blast line]]s of the stage, or is [[item swallow|eaten]], it reappears in the center.

Unusually, the shadows of characters will always appear on the stage itself, even if they are underneath the stage.
With the shutdown of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] on 20 May 2014, it became impossible to access the stage without hacking. Althrough, the track music can be heard in the main menu and in the sound test.

===Use in hacks===
Via hacking, the stage can be used in [[Versus Mode]], and various ''Brawl'' mods allow it to be chosen on the stage select screen - whether as its own separate stage as in ''[[Balanced Brawl]]'', or replacing an unpopular stage such as [[New Pork City]] as in ''[[Brawl-]]''. These hacks generally do not remove Sandbag, as it can act as a dynamic barrier to attacks. If the player hacks to have this stage chosen in Versus Mode, then unless a music hack is also used, the music playing will be of whatever stage was meant to be chosen.

When under the stage, the shadow of the character will still appear on the stage itself. The player can usually only see the shadow, however, when the Sandbag has been launched off the top of the screen.

The stage's shape bears a resemblance to that of {{SSB4|Battlefield}}'s [[Ω form]], but has a differing design. The background, like in ''Brawl'', is white and featureless.

Sandbag's current percent now appears on screen; it will reset to 0 if enough time passes without dealing damage to Sandbag.
 
If playing [[With Anyone]], this stage is replaced with the stage selected for the next match. A CPU opponent will appear instead of Sandbag, using the same character as the player; up to two more such opponents can appear, and will eventually attack the player.

This stage, unlike the 3DS version, is more rectangle-like, similar to most Ω stages. The stage's design, however, is similar to that of the [[Miiverse]] stage, albeit without platforms and without the messages in the background. The stage's background has white hexagons all around it, and will occasionally light up in a wave-like pattern.

[[Tips]] will appear near the top of the screen. Like in ''for 3DS'', the stage and Sandbag are replaced when playing With Anyone.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
This stage is set on a flat grid pattern identical to the {{b|Training|stage}} stage, with a flat camera angle. The layout and blast lines are the same as {{SSBU|Battlefield}}. This layout is also present in the Training stage.
Similar to [[With Anyone]] in ''Smash 4'', the player(s) will initially fight a CPU opponent using Player 1's character; up to two more opponents can appear unless this would result in more than 4 total characters. Two options have also been introduced that affect these opponents:
* '''Training Partners''': Can set the number of CPU opponents manually.
* '''Training Partner Behavior''': Attack or Stop.
The total KO's the player(s) have scored is indicated with a medal icon. Additionally, items will occasionally spawn, including [[Sandbag]]. Items cannot be turned off.
