A home stage is a stage or set of stages associated with a character by certain game modes.
Overview
Characters' home stages are normally from the same universe as the character. However, in all the Super Smash Bros. games there are playable characters who do not have a stage belonging to their universe; such characters are instead assigned a home stage from another universe.
Super Smash Bros.
In Super Smash Bros., a starter character's home stage is the stage on which they are fought in 1P Game, while an unlockable character's home stage is the stage on which they are fought to be unlocked. (Luigi, the only unlockable character to also be fought in 1P Game, uses the same stage in both instances.)
Each of the eight starter characters has a unique home stage from their universe, while the four unlockable characters share stages with starter characters. Two of the unlockable characters (Luigi and Jigglypuff) share both their universe and their home stage with a starter character; the other two unlockable characters (Captain Falcon and Ness) have home stages from different universes, due to there being no stages from their own universes (F-Zero and EarthBound, respectively).
Mushroom Kingdom, an unlockable stage from the Mario universe, is not the home stage of any character.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters have different home stages in different game modes. All characters have a home stage for All-Star Mode, most have one or two home stages for Classic Mode, and unlockable characters have a stage for their unlock challenge fight. Additionally, all characters have a home stage the All-Star Match series of event matches.
All universes with playable characters have at least one Melee-introduced stage (i.e. non-past stage), except Fire Emblem. However, even for characters that have a stage from the same universe, in some game modes they will use a stage from a different universe as their home stage.
- In All Star, every stage serves as the home stage for at least one character, except Big Blue and past stages. This results in several characters (Bowser, Ganondorf, Young Link, Pichu, and Mewtwo), in addition to the Fire Emblem characters, having their All-Star home stage be from a different universe.
- In Classic Mode, in addition to the Fire Emblem characters, Bowser and Mewtwo each have a stage from a different universe as one of their home stages.
- In character unlock challenges, in addition to the Fire Emblem characters, Falco, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo have a stage from a different universe (Super Smash Bros.) as their home stage.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, home stages are used in Classic Mode and All-Star Mode. Each character can have multiple home stages.
All characters use all of the Brawl stages (i.e. non-Melee Stages) from their own universe as their home stages, with the exception of R.O.B., who instead uses Mario Bros. as his home stage (while Mario universe characters do not use it as their home stage).
- ^ R.O.B.'s home stage is Delfino Plaza in Classic Mode and All-Star Mode when Mario Bros. is not unlocked.
Super Smash Bros. 4
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, home stages are used in Classic Mode. Each character can have multiple home stages.
Unlike in previous games, Past Stages also serve as home stages. All characters' home stages are all of the stages from their own universe, unless there are no stages from their own universe. Characters from universes without stages have all of the stages whose universes lack characters as their home stages. The Mii Fighters' home stage is considered to be Battlefield, as they are part of the Super Smash Bros. universe and are only fought in Classic Mode as enemy teams.
- ^ This stage was added as a free stage in the 1.1.1 update. When playing an older version, the "miscellaneous" stages used by R.O.B. and Wii Fit Trainer are used instead. When trying to unlock Duck Hunt, they will be fought on Battlefield regardless of which version of the game is being played.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, home stages are used in All-Star Mode.
- ^ As R.O.B. doesn't have a stage from his own universe, Wrecking Crew is considered to be his home stage as he is fought here in his unlocking battle.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, most unlockable characters fight on their home stage during their Challenger Approaching battle.
Additionally, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site depicts a stage in the background of each fighter's page; for unlockable characters this stage is usually the stage on which their Challenger Approaching battle occurs, whereas for DLC characters it is the stage included in their Fighters Pass. R.O.B. has no stage on his page, as his series has no stages.
In World of Light, awakening battles where the characters are fought to be unlocked mostly take place in Ω forms of stages, some differing from the usual Challenger Approaching battle.
While Sephiroth does not have a Challenger Approaching or World of Light awakening battle, the Sephiroth Challenge takes place in the normal form of Northern Cave on Easy and Normal and in its Ω form on Very Hard.
