'''Terrain''' is the type of material that a [[platform]] of a [[stage]] is composed of. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' are all known to use different types of terrain in their stages, and each game introduces new types of terrain for new uses.

Terrain can produce different footstep noises or visual effects when characters and other objects step or land on it. The main functional effect of terrain is [[traction]]; some types of terrain can increase or decrease traction, which means characters and objects will slide less or more, respectively, from movement on the terrain. There are also some types of terrain that are used to [[damage]] and [[Knockback|launch]] players upon contact.

Terrain also affects the behaviour of some [[special move]]s. In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Yoshi}}'s ability to accelerate during [[Egg Roll]] and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s ability to turn around during [[Rollout]] are affected by terrain. In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s [[Pikmin Pluck]] has its speed and the type frequency of resulting {{b|Pikmin|species}} affected by the terrain he is standing on. In ''Ultimate'', terrain affects what materials {{SSBU|Steve}} will obtain through [[Mine / Craft / Create Block|Mine]], except for [[Battlefield form]] and [[Ω form]] stages, which have a standard selection.

==''Melee'' terrains==
The different types of terrain have little effect on gameplay outside of cosmetics, with the exception of ice and other slippery surfaces.  However some special moves such as [[Egg Roll]] and [[Rollout]] may be minorly influenced by terrain, with Rollout being able to turn around an additional time on grass terrain.

The colours in this table are taken from ''Melee'''s {{SSBM|debug mode}}.

The frequency of different types of Pikmin from [[Pikmin Pluck]] is based on the type of terrain that {{SSBB|Olimar}} is standing on.

==''Smash 4'' terrains==
''Smash 4'' has 33 different terrain types. Most of them only differ cosmetically, but a few have different [[traction]], which is listed as a multiplier in the table below. Several of the terrain types are unknown and may be dummied leftovers from ''Brawl'', while others are known but have unknown usage and may be unused.

In ''Smash 4'' onwards, {{SSB4|Olimar}}'s [[Pikmin Pluck]] is not random and is not affected by the type of terrain he is standing on.

==''Ultimate'' terrains==
''Ultimate'' has 44 different terrain types as of the latest version; the base game had 43 types. Most of them only differ cosmetically, but a few have different [[traction]], which is listed as a multiplier in the table below. It appears that most terrain types in ''Smash 4'' carry over to ''Ultimate'', but notably, Grass no longer has increased traction.
