Selected messages created by users appeared in the background, intended to cheer the fighters on. Users were able to post drawings for each character in dedicated Miiverse communities, which would then appear when that character participated in a match. The post's border color corresponded to the slot of the character the post was cheering for. During the results screen, players had the option to send a post directly to Miiverse community for to the character who won the match. This prompt occurred even if Miiverse was disabled on the system, but would not appear if playing with [[amiibo]], seemingly due to the inability to suspend the game while amiibo are in use.

This stage is not available when playing against others online, making it the only stage with that restriction. When playing locally, this stage can be played even with the Wii U not connected to the Internet. Doing so will cause no messages to appear; this was the case even when the service was active.

Miiverse is either considered legal as a purely cosmetic Battlefield alternative or banned due to its redundancy as a semi-clone of said stage. If the Wii U is not offline, the posts in the background can be distracting for players and may contain inappropriate material. However, with Miiverse now closed, no posts will appear in the background, helping its case for legality.

*Any [[snapshot]]s and [[replay]]s that were taken on this stage could not be [[share]]d, even before Miiverse was shut down, nor could snapshots taken there be painted on.
**Miiverse is also the first stage in the series to be added through a free update, followed by [[Duck Hunt (stage)|Duck Hunt]] in {{for3ds}} and [[Small Battlefield]] in ''Ultimate''.
*If a [[Nintendo 3DS]] is being used as a controller, the stage will be unavailable.

*If a [[Nintendo 3DS]] is being used as a controller, the stage becomes unavailable.
*Replays would record where and when posts appeared but did not record post content. Therefore, until Miiverse was shut down, it was possible to see different posts every time a replay was watched.

**Miiverse is also the only downloadable stage in ''SSB4'' (including returning stages) to not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is most likely because of Miiverse's discontinuation (and lack of inclusion on the Nintendo Switch) rendering the stage's gimmick ineffective, despite it being purely aesthetic.
**Miiverse is also the only downloadable stage in ''SSB4'' (including returning stages) to not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The exclusion is due to the discontinuation of the Miiverse service (and its lack of inclusion on the Nintendo Switch) reducing the stage to a basic clone of [[Battlefield]] and therefore redundant.
**If Miiverse is considered tournament legal after the service shut down, this would also be the only tourney legal stage to not appear in Ultimate.
**If Miiverse is considered tournament legal after the service shut down, this would also be the only tourney legal stage to not appear in ''Ultimate''.
*Due to the shutdown of the Miiverse service preventing posts from appearing in the background, Miiverse is the only versus mode stage in ''Smash'' history to no longer have all of its features function properly.
