Reset Bomb Forest (初期化爆弾の森, Initialization Bomb Forest) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It is based on Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Overview

The stage after the Reset Bomb is detonated.

The stage begins in a castle-like area with two main platforms that are separated by a pit, which has a wooden soft platform in the middle to decrease the danger of early KOs. Above and to the right of it are two similar platforms, one above the other. After approximately a minute, Viridi appears in the distance, dropping a massive Reset Bomb in the background. The explosion engulfs the stage, destroying the castle and creating a white flash; at this point, the stage vanishes, and the players fight on an invisible platform with the lower blast line becoming temporarily inaccessible. In the aftermath, the players are inside the titular forest that the bomb created, and what appears to be the ruins of the castle can be used as erratic platforms, most of which are destructible. A Lurchthorn can be seen flying near the lower blast line, which hurts players that touch it. After about a minute, the stage is reset to its original conformation.

When played online in For Fun, some of the platforms in the stage's third transformation are removed, and the Lurchthorn also does not appear.

Origin

The Reset Bomb Forest as it originally appeared in Kid Icarus Uprising

During the tenth chapter of Kid Icarus: Uprising, the evil god of the underworld, Hades, seeking to obtain as many souls as possible for his own power, sparks a war between human forces over the Wish Seed, which he claims to be able to grant wishes but actually has no power whatsoever. During the following chapter, Pit and Palutena attempt to intervene. In the eleventh chapter, the war is interrupted when an unexpected third party, the Goddess of Nature, Viridi, drops a "Reset Bomb" on the humans in retaliation for their disturbing the delicate balance of nature with their wars and conflicts. The bomb annihilates both armies and causes a warped forest to grow over their battlefield, returning the human city to a more natural state as Viridi intended. Pit battles through the forest to a confrontation with Viridi's general, Cragalanche.

In chapter eleven, enemies known as Lurchthorns make their first appearance in the game. They are flying enemies whose body consist of segments that act as cannons. In this stage, a Lurchthorn can be seen flying; which acts as a stage hazard.

Trivia

Viridi's original appearance on the stage.

• In early builds of Smash 4, Viridi's art on the stage was much smaller, and it also featured roses in her headband.
• When played on this stage, the track Wrath of the Reset Bomb syncs with the events on the stage; as a result, pausing the game causes the track to stop playing.
