Rather than being a stage based on Terry, such as his iconic Transcontinental Railroad stage, King of Fighters Stadium is an original design based on the various arenas from ''The King of Fighters'' series. Its overall open-field design, muted metallic tone, and design of the stands along with the jumbotron bearing the ''King of Fighters'' logo, most prominently resembles a mixture of the Stadium stage from ''XII'' and the Antonov Super Arena from ''XIV''. However, the bold green design of this logo is completely original to ''Smash'', and the circular design of the main platform appears closest to Kagura Stadium from '''96'', including the "''KOF''" logo in the center, which has a [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash'' logo]] in place of the "''O''". While these stadium stages in ''The King of Fighters'' series all appear to be dedicated venues for fighting tournaments, the one seen in ''Smash'' is an adapted American football stadium. | Rather than being a stage based on Terry, such as his iconic Transcontinental Railroad stage, King of Fighters Stadium is an original design based on the various arenas from ''The King of Fighters'' series.

"King of Fighters" is a recurring tournament in SNK's gaming universe. The concept was first introduced in ''Fatal Fury: King of Fighters'', although canonically, the first time a King of Fighters tournament was ever held was in ''Art of Fighting 2''. Recently, the tournament's most prominent appearances are in ''The King of Fighters'' series, which was based on the idea developed in both series, as well as Ryo Sakazaki's appearance as a secret extra opponent in ''Fatal Fury Special''. | "King of Fighters" is a recurring tournament in SNK's gaming universe.

==Tournament Legality== | |||
King of Fighters Stadium has widely been considered banned in tournaments. The walls that can only be broken with sufficient knockback can allow for relatively easy 0-to-death combos if a player can back the opponent into the corner. The walls combined with the incredibly high upper blast zone also provide a borderline unfair advantage to characters with potent vertical K.O. options and high base knockback. | |||

*King of Fighters Stadium is based on stadiums that appear in ''The King of Fighters'' series, which makes it one of | *This stage's side blast zones have a special mechanic where if a fighter somehow gets beyond the blast lines, they will not be KO'd right away, but will be instead be KO'd after 100 frames (60 frames prior to 12.0.0) if they do not return to being within the blast lines. This is to prevent fighters from being KO'd by throws that can temporarily shift an opponent's position to beyond the walls and into the blast zones. | ||
**This mechanic can be seen using a glitch with {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Dream Home|Final]] [[Dream Town Hall|Smashes]], which when used right against the walls on an opponent, will cause said opponent to clip through the walls at the end of the moves. The opponent won't be KO'd right away, but instead is KO'd when the 100 frames elapse. | |||
**Prior to 12.0.0, it was possible to KO an opponent using {{SSBU|Ike}}'s back throw right up against the wall while he was under the effect of the critical super giant [[Spirit]] effect and a timer. | |||
*King of Fighters Stadium is based on stadiums that appear in ''The King of Fighters'' series, which makes it one of four stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to originate from another fighting game, the others being [[Suzaku Castle]], [[Spring Stadium]], and [[Mishima Dojo]]. | |||

One banner reads "Neo Challenger", as a reference to both the {{s|wikipedia|Neo Geo}} and Terry's status as a newcomer to ''Smash'', and another is SNK's logo edited to read "SSB". | ||

During a [[Mr. Sakurai Presents]], he claims Mai was excluded in order to keep the game's A rating from the CERO. | ||
**In the English localized script, Sakurai is dubbed saying "''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is for good boys and girls." This phrase became memetic in the ''Smash'' community to jokingly disconfirm certain characters and to point out the hypocrisy of characters like {{SSBU|Snake}} and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} already existing in the game despite originating from games with high age ratings, and how [[Lyn]] appears in a dress similar to Mai's. | |||
**In an interview, {{iw|wikipedia|Yasuyuki Oda}} was asked if he had any issues with Terry's inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and he lamented Mai's exclusion by referencing Sakurai's line.<ref>https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2024/mar/21/terry-smash-bros-ultimate-complaints/</ref> | |||
