Banned stages are stages that are banned from most competetive tournaments. These stages can be banned for several reasons, including:

  • Providing an unfair advantage for certain characters (such as excessive camping)
  • Allowing players to abuse glitches in the game
  • Completely re-vamping the strategies needed to win (such as Temple and Icicle Mountain)
  • Having a significant amount of slow-down during a match
