This stage is | This stage is very large and complex, its size comparable only to [[Palutena's Temple]], due to having been designed specifically for [[8-Player Smash]]. | ||
All the [[blast zone]]s are accessible, albeit only in specific spots, and the side ones can be walked off. However, they are not the only way to KO an opponent due to the existence of [[Danger Zone]]s, pools of lava spread throughout the stage which [[instant KO|instantly KO]] on touch any fighter with over 100% damage, dealing 25% damage with heavy knockback otherwise.

However, they are not the only way to KO an opponent due to the existence of [[Danger Zone]]s, pools of lava spread throughout the stage which [[instant KO|instantly KO]] on touch any fighter with over 100% damage, dealing 25% damage with heavy knockback otherwise. However, it is possible for a character being launched toward a Danger Zone to [[tech]] on it without receiving damage or being KO'd. | ||
The | The [[Spike (stage element)|spikes]] which appear under the right side of the largest top platform and in the bottom right of the stage deal 10% damage and decent knockback on contact. | ||
[[Minecart]]s sometimes appear on the top of the brick platform on the middle right and on the lone floating soft platform on the middle left. When entered by a character - or on their own after about 15 seconds from their appearance - they start going forward, dealing 10% damage to any character they hit. The right one can carry characters beyond the left blast line if not dismounted, while the left one crashes in the bottom right corner of the stage (just below the spikes), dealing no damage to its passengers. | |||
The two cannons constantly rotate, not smoothly but jumping between the eight cardinal and intercardinal directions. They work like [[Barrel Cannon]]s: once entered they hold the character, and once a button is pressed they shoot them in the direction they are pointing | The two cannons constantly rotate, not smoothly but jumping between the eight cardinal and intercardinal directions. They work like [[Barrel Cannon]]s: once entered they hold the character, and once a button is pressed they shoot them in the direction they are pointing at, however characters cannot stay in the cannons indefinitely. Care must be taken not to hit a Danger Zone or a blast line. | ||
If the [[item switch]] is on, treasure chests randomly appear throughout the map. If hit by an attack they release an [[item]], though they will occasionally explode. | If the [[item switch]] is on, treasure chests randomly appear throughout the map.
