The Ω (Omega) Form is a feature in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4 that modify stages to that of Final Destination, consisting of a single flat platform with all stage hazards removed. Ω Form stages are not all functionally identical, however, as the shape of the platform's underside varies, with some stages having walls all the way down to the lower blast line. This can have a significant impact on characters' recovery; for example, Little Mac gains a tremendous advantage on an Ω Form stage with walls, as despite his normally abysmal recovery, he has a very strong wall jump, aiding his recovery significantly. Other characters, such as Mario and Mii Gunner also gain advantages to varying degrees. This advantage, however, is strangely not applicable to Pac-Land as it is impossible to wall jump despite the presence of walls.
The Ω Forms of Battlefield, Boxing Ring, Castle Siege, Duck Hunt, Gamer, Jungle Hijinxs, Kalos Pokémon League, Luigi's Mansion, Lylat Cruise, Onett, Pokémon Stadium 2, Skyloft, Temple, Town and City, Umbra Clock Tower, and Windy Hill Zone all have marginally shorter top blast lines compared to Final Destination, while Coliseum, Halberd, and Palutena's Temple all have marginally taller top blast lines.
The Ω Forms of Mario Galaxy, Mushroom Kingdom U, The Great Cave Offensive, Windy Hill Zone, and Yoshi's Island have increased traction where there is grass, which can affect several techniques such as sliding up smashes and glide tosses.
Pressing the X button on the stage select screen in the 3DS version will fill the circular cursor with either 終点 (Japanese), Ω (other languages) or DF (PAL French version, 3DS only), allowing Ω Form stages to be selected. There is also an option in the rules to have the game automatically select Ω Form stages at random; this is how stages are selected in For Glory mode. Ω Form stages can also be selected at random by pressing the X button and selecting Random on the stage select screen.
Final Destination itself can be selected as an Ω Form stage, but this doesn't change its layout.
