'PictoChat (ピクトチャット, PictoChat) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS based on the PictoChat software for the Nintendo DS. It retains the same general layout as the previous PictoChat stage, but has different drawings (with rivaling variety), each with different effects on gameplay. Two of the drawings include Pac-Man-like shapes that apparently move around the screen (based on Pac-Pix) and a street, which is designed to look like it has depth. R.O.B. is fought here when he is being unlocked.

Variations

There are at least 27 sketches that can be drawn in PictoChat 2, 26 in the normal form and one in the Ω form of the stage. Like in its predecessor, dark lines can be walked on or can affect the players depending on the sketch, and faint lines are intangible.

Name	Description	Image
Seesaw	A seesaw appears in the center of the stage. This can be used to determine which characters weigh more than others, as a heavy character can weigh down the seesaw more than a lighter character.	File:PictoChat Seesaw.jpeg
Paper Airplanes	Paper airplanes fly in from the left and right, which swoop down to the platform and rise slowly back up. They can be ridden by players, even to the blast line.	File:PictoChat Paper Airplanes.jpeg
Car	The empty space to the left and right of the main platform is filled by two lines. However, after two horn sounds, a car will drive through the stage from the left or right, dealing heavy damage and launching players. If they land on a certain part of the car, they can ride it, but this is not recommended as the car's speed can easily send players to the blast line before they could react. Sometimes a car will instead drop from the sky before driving off.	File:PictoChat Car.jpg
Clouds	Three clouds float by, moving to and fro at different speeds.	File:PictoChat Clouds.jpeg
Poles	Two bars appear on both sides of the stage, with little stickmen hanging from them. When a player stands on a platform, it will wobble and then fall, respawning after a few seconds.	File:PictoChat Poles.jpeg
Escalator	Three escalators are drawn, two at the blast lines and one in the center of the stage. The escalator will pull players upward and drop them off at the base of the next escalator, as represented by sketches of humans riding them.	File:PictoChat Elevator.jpeg
Sunset	A stage-wide line appears above the main platform, with part of the sun visible. Over time, the sun will slowly secede into the horizon. There are two lines representing birds that can be used as very small platforms.	File:PictoChat Sunset.jpeg
Gusty Gus	Gusty Gus will cover the entirety of the main platform and can be walked on, though players who happened to be standing on it can jump up onto his face. This time, Gusty Gus will blow upward, any player in range being sent up a fair distance.	File:PictoChat Gusty Gus 2.jpeg
Donkey Kong	A layout vaguely resembling the first stage of Donkey Kong appears, with the titular character throwing barrels down the stage. The barrels can either fall off the edge of a platform, or roll down. They deal moderate knockback and damage to players it touches.
Girders	A layout resembling a part of World 1-2 of Super Mario Bros. appears, with the girders on the left moving downward, the ones on the right moving upward.	File:PictoChat Girders.jpeg
Noses	Two noses from WarioWare Touched bounce around the stage. Players can stand atop the noses to ride them.	File:Pictochat Jellyfish.jpeg
Dolphins	Dolphins jump out of the main platform in both directions. Can be ridden, but one must be very careful as their fast speed can quickly send them to the blast line.	File:Pictochat Dolphins.jpeg
Script	A jar of ink is first drawn, along with "paper." Then, a pen appears that draws lines that function as platforms.	File:PictoChat Script.jpeg
Tornado	A tornado will appear that sweeps across the stage. Any players caught i it will be first sent to it's center, then flung upwards, causing no damage but leaving them wide open to attacks, as they'll move in an extremely predictable pattern. Characters with good recoveries, like R.O.B., can escape the tornado.	File:PictoChat Tornado.jpeg
Sparks	Two platforms are drawn, and two sparks orbit them, another orbiting the main platform. They function similarly to Hotheads and deal minor electrical damage.	File:PictoChat Sparks.jpeg
Shooting Star	The entire background is covered in black, presumably to replicate the night sky. Shooting stars will fly in from the right, and split into two smaller stars when they land on the platform. They deal moderate damage on hit.	File:PictoChat Shooting Star.jpeg
Staring Contest	Two intangible faces appear, and a large damaging spark will slide along a gray line. After a while, it will vanish, and another will appear. Sometimes, a heart would appear instead of a spark, that heals the player when touched.	File:PictoChat Staring Contest.jpeg
Infinity	An infinity symbol will appear at the center of the stage. Although the whole drawing is a thick line, viewing the drawing with the system's 3D active reveals that only the upper-left/lower-right diagonal is a platform, with the other half in the background.	File:PictoChat Infinity.jpeg
Clock	Unlike the Clock from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this clock is much, much larger, only one quarter of it on screen. The center of the clock can be on the left or right. The minute hand turns clockwise, whereas the hour hand does the same but far slower.	File:PictoChat Clock.jpeg
Road	A drawing of a road, lined with trees and leading toward mountains, appears in the background. The thick lines at the sides of the road form long diagonal platforms above the stage.	File:PictoChat Road.jpg
Pac-Pix	Drawings of Pac-Man in his ball form appear and move around the stage, damaging players on contact.	File:Pictochat PacPix.jpg
Pipes	Multiple pipes appear, which can move the player to another pipe. The paths are chosen at random, but they remain the same the entire time they are present.	File:Pictochat Pipes.jpg
Faucet	A running faucet appears. The water pushes players along the stage and off the edge.	File:Pictochat Faucet.jpg
Policeman	The background is covered in black and a stick-figure policeman with a flashlight appears on the stage. The triangular beam from the flashlight damages players	File:PictoChat Policeman.jpeg
Moon	The background is covered in black and a new moon appears above the stage, which then progresses through a full lunar cycle. Once the moon disappears, the whole stage goes dark for a short while, making the fighters invisible.	File:PictoChat Moon.jpeg
Boots	A few pairs of boots walk across the stage, burying any fighter they walk over. Sometimes cleats will appear that damages fighters.	File:PictoChat Boots.jpeg
Changing Weather (Ω form only)	The weather in the background cycles through sun, approaching clouds, rain, receding clouds, and sun with rainbow.	File:PictoChat Omega.jpg
