'''Green Hill Zone''' ({{ja|グリーンヒルゾーン|Gurīn Hiru Zōn}}, ''Green Hill Zone'') is the stage that represents [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{for3ds}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is unlocked after {{SSBB|Sonic}} himself is unlocked in ''Brawl'' but is available from the start in subsequent games. In ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', Sonic is fought here for his unlocking battle.

The stage consists in a single piece of land with a bridge on its left, walk-offs at both sides and a depression in the middle. The ground of the middle part is split into three sections that are susceptible to attacks, and the sections will crumble away if they sustain enough damage (125{{GameIcon|SSBB}}/100{{GameIcon|SSB4-3DS}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}} damage), transforming the center of the stage into a pit. The sections will naturally break after a random amount of time between 90-150 seconds, regardless of how much damage it has taken. The broken parts regenerate after 20 seconds.

On March 17th 2009, the [[SmashBoards|BBR]] announced that the stage should be banned, as opposed to its former status as a counterpick, and the stage has since been universally banned in tournament play. Many players take issue with Green Hill Zone for its extremely campy nature: the most effective strategy when fighting here is to camp the signposts, which have a centralising effect due to their significant defensive power for an already highly defensive game,  can severely elongate the flow of the match.  Another major issue with the stage is its deep slope design, which, besides being awkward to fight on, can create a [[cave of life]] effect since players can [[DI]] and [[tech]] into the ground. Furthermore, both sides of the stage have permanent walk-off edges, favoring [[chain throw]]s or simply camping the edge; the frequent absence of a lower blast-line also negates any off-stage play.

Green Hill Zone is universally banned for many of the same reasons as in ''Brawl''. While turning off stage hazards mitigates some issues like camping, other issues are left unadressed.

*When playing as [[Pokémon Trainer]], they will stand on top of the loop.
*Despite appearing as a cameo in this stage in ''Smash'', Silver had not been playable on Green Hill Zone in a ''Sonic'' title at the point of ''Brawl''{{'}}s release - however, he is planned to be added in a future update to the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Roblox}}'' game ''Sonic Speed Simulator'', making this cameo retroactively relevant to a non-''Smash'' Sega game.
*Unlike Sonic, [[Shadow]], and Knuckles (as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate''), Tails, Knuckles, and Silver use their ''Brawl'' models (which in turn is based on their appearance in ''Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)'') in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', rather than using their updated appearance from ''Sonic Unleashed'' onwards.

*When playing as [[Pokémon Trainer]], they will stand on top of the loop.
*Due to the slope being destructible and triggering [[hitlag]], the bridge will sometimes slow down attacks like [[Spin Dash]] or [[Wario Bike]]. This is rather ironic considering that, in the ''Sonic'' series, a player would ordinarily use the Spin Dash in an area with this stage's layout in order to quickly accelerate to max speed and jump high into the air.

*A mistake currently exists in the Spanish and United Kingdom versions of the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!|DOJO!!]] of this stage's page: instead of displaying the ''Sonic'' universe icon, Sonic's head's silhouette, it has the symbol of the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' universe]], which is a mushroom.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/es/stages/stage27.html]</ref>
