The stage has a very basic layout; three static, floating soft platforms above the main solid platform. In the background of the stage resides [[Whispy Woods]], a recurring boss who first appeared in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Whispy Woods slowly blows fighters off to one side of the stage from time to time. [[Bronto Burt]]s and [[King Dedede]] can also be seen flying in the far background as cameo appearances.{{clr}} | *[[File:DreamLandIconSSB.png|right|link=Dream Land (SSB)]]'''{{SSB|Dream Land}}''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): This stage is a small area of colorful grassland based on the generic look for many grass levels in the ''Kirby'' franchise.

*[[File:Icon-halberd.gif|right|link=Halberd]]'''[[Halberd]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): The Halberd has been seen in several incarnations throughout the ''Kirby'' franchise; in Smash, it is based on the ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' portion of ''Kirby Super Star''. The stage starts off in a hangar located on the high seas, which opens up not long afterwards. The Halberd takes off into the air along with the platform the players fight upon, and the Halberd flies around the backdrop of the now-floating stage. During the fight, the platform will land on the ship itself, which draws heavy fire from nearby cannons.{{clr}} | *[[File:Icon-halberd.gif|right|link=Halberd]]'''[[Halberd]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): The Halberd has been seen in several incarnations throughout the ''Kirby'' franchise; in Smash, it is based on the ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' portion of ''Kirby Super Star''.

*[[File:HalberdIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Halberd]]{{GameIcon|SSBB}}'''[[Halberd]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): Staged on the main deck of Meta Knight's flying fortress from "{{s|wikirby|Meta Knight’s Revenge}}", one of the sub-games from ''Kirby Super Star''. The stage is somewhat transitionary: it begins on a flying platform that flies from the ''Halberd''{{'}}s launch bay before landing on its deck. During a match, the ship fires powerful projectiles and uses its protractible arm to attack fighters. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. Only its [[Ω form]] can accommodate [[8-Player Smash]], which is a [[Final Destination]]-like platform.{{clr}} | |||
*[[File:TheGreatCaveOffensiveIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=The Great Cave Offensive]]'''[[The Great Cave Offensive]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): An expansive labyrinth based on the [[wikirby:The Great Cave Offensive|eponymous sub-game]] from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}''. It is an elaborate stage and the second largest in the game. It contains rideable minecarts, rotating cannons, and magma-covered walls called Danger Zones capable of KOing opponents at high damage percentage. This stage is large enough to accommodate [[8-Player Smash]]. Its [[Ω form]] is staged on a [[Final Destination]]-like platform. This stage was originally going to be based on ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}''.{{clr}} | *[[File:TheGreatCaveOffensiveIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=The Great Cave Offensive]]'''[[The Great Cave Offensive]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): An expansive labyrinth based on the [[wikirby:The Great Cave Offensive|eponymous sub-game]] from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}''.
