==Stage overview==
==Stage overview==
This stage is extremely large and complex, being the largest stage in the ''Smash'' series; only [[Palutena's Temple]] compares in size, due to both having been designed specifically for [[8-Player Smash]].
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, in ''SSB4'', it is possible for a character being launched toward a Danger Zone to [[tech]] on it without receiving damage or being KO'd.

The {{b|spike|stage element}}s 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.
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.


{{b|Minecart|vehicle}}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). No damage is dealt upon impact, although the resulting inertia will likely throw any passengers into the spikes anyway.

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. 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.

===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] is a single platform different from all the ones in the normal version, mixing the forest area on the top and the crystal area on the bottom right. It is notably the only Ω form to prominently use two different types of [[terrain]], with the grassy side having greater [[traction]] than the crystal side. The walk-offs, chests, danger zones, cannons, minecarts, and spikes are removed.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] is similar to ''SSB4'''s Ω form; however, it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form resemble the soft platforms in the upper portion of the normal form.

===Hazards Off===
With hazards off in ''Ultimate'', treasure chests and minecarts do not appear. Cannons, spikes, and Danger Zones remain on the map, and the latter still behaves as an [[instant KO]].

This stage originates from the sub-game ''The Great Cave Offensive'' from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. In the game, [[Kirby]] falls down a hole whilst taking a walk, and he must venture through an expansive cave full of various dangers to escape, while finding as much treasure as he can along the way.

Cannons like the ones in this stage appear in the Garden and Old Tower area, forming a maze which Kirby must traverse to proceed. Some of them fire automatically in a fixed direction while others rotate and fire upon a button press.

Some parts of the Old Tower area feature patches of lava on the floor and ceiling which act as hazards, dealing damage on touch and being able to KO Kirby if his hit points are completely depleted.

==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
This stage is banned in tournaments due to a multitude of reasons including its overly large size which can create [[camping]], disruptive hazards, walk-off blast lines, and being a giant [[cave of life]] due to the Danger Zones being techable, though this is only possible in ''SSB4''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*For unknown reasons, in ''Ultimate'', the burning sound effect does not play when a character hits a Danger Zone. This can be fixed by resetting [[Training Mode]].
**This means that the sound effect for the Danger Zones will never play in a regular match.
*Uniquely, in ''Ultimate'' the knockback dealt by Danger Zones is affected by the [[1v1 multiplier]], and by the Fixed Damage toggle in Training Mode, using the modified final percent values in both cases, rather than defaulting to the final percent if base damage was dealt. This means Danger Zones overall deal slightly more knockback in a 1v1 scenario.
**Oddly, this is not reflected in the Trajectory Guide, which will calculate launch distances assuming the standard rules apply.
*If {{SSB4|Wario}} uses his [[Wario Bike|bike]] at top speed at the top-middle area and jumps off before he collides with the Danger Zone, the bike will go through the platform and become stuck, so he can never use the move again.
