==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
Prior to 2017, this stage was legal in most tournaments, however, the 2017 recommended ruleset has made this stage banned in tournaments. Reasons behind this ban included the singular tree which promoted [[camping]] against characters with poor vertical movement (most notoriously {{SSB4|Little Mac}}), the low distance relative to the stage and the bottom/side blast lines, infamously the Duck Hunt dog itself who would occasionally interrupt gameplay (or even save a player from a punish) and the fact that the ducks, which would increase the score on the bottom of the screen when hit, may have been distracting for some players.

However, arguments against the stage's ban included the relative neutrality of the main platform and advantages offered by the tree, allowing it to be used as a [[stage legality|counterpick stage]] for characters with otherwise weak vertical finishers. Additionally, the ducks could be used as a technical advantage due to their ability to refresh [[stale move negation|stale moves]], similar to hitting balloons on [[Smashville]]. Overall, this decision has been met with mixed reception, with one notable example of opposition being from [[Smasher:ESAM|ESAM]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg9cqpCvBlY who has made a video] addressing his feelings on the subject.
