Hanenbow (pronounced Hay-nin-bow) is a new unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It comes from a music-themed Nintendo DS game, which features extensive interactivity with the microphone; called Electroplankton.
The stage consists of multiple stems with leaves branching out on each stem. It also features the Hanenbows being fired at the stage's platforms, which make a musical note on contact depending on the angle of the platform. The platform's angle, position, and color can be changed by attacking them. Note that the branch on the left can't be stood on (although it serves as Pokémon Trainer's platform).
This stage is the one of the only two where a character can't swim in its water, the other being Corneria. It is also the only one to have completely interactive music.
Interestingly, all characters in this stage and the stage itself are in 2-D.
Unlock Hanenbow
It is unlocked by clearing Event 28: Flower Blooms in the Echoes.
Trivia
- When all the leaves on the right-most tree are red, a flower grows on top of the tree.
- An assembling Dragoon, Snake's taunt and final smash, and the Ice Climbers Final Smash (along with "sparks" that appear when a character is hit) are the only things in 3D.
- This stage has no My Music, even though an ambience track can be found in the game's data.
- With Sonic, stand on either of the two leftmost platforms on the top, or the leftmost platform on the bottom, and do his Side-B, you will go flying directly to the right and off the stage. For more information, see Spin Glitch.
- All leaves can turn red, except the one in the bottom left corner.
- When a fight begins, the sound of a full orchestra tuning can be heard. This is ironic as the only sound made by the hanenbow striking the leaves is that of a xylophone.
- Hanenbow and Flat Zone 2 are the only stages in 2-D.
