Contrary to popular belief, Poké Floats is not an auto-scrolling stage but rather the camera stays in place as the floats move across the screen. The match takes place on top of giant floating models of Pokémon (hence the name) which are in a constant cycle and whose movement, while deterministic, keeps getting more complex until the cycle is reset. Staying on a float too long can cause the player to lose a [[stock]], as the floats can cross [[blast line]]s as they leave the battlefield. | Contrary to popular belief, Poké Floats is not an auto-scrolling stage but rather the camera stays in place as the floats move across the screen.
