In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Pit}} is fought here for his [[Unlockable character|unlocking battle]].

The stage consists of four floating cloud [[platform]]s, arranged in a pattern somewhat resembling [[Battlefield]], which each have sets of yellow stone platforms resting on them. The right-most platform is connected to the bottom one by a chain, and can raise and move right, or fall and move left. An additional stone platform occasionally appears, moving horizontally below the stage, from one end of the screen to the other.

All of the stone platforms are solid and cannot be passed through, and there are grabbable [[edge]]s on the far ends of each set. All of them except for the one that moves underneath the stage can be individually attacked, showing visible cracks after taking some damage, and will break if they are damaged enough. In addition to player attacks, the platforms can be damaged and broken by [[item]]s such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Hammer]]s, and [[Assist Trophy]] or [[Poké Ball]] summons.

If a platform is broken, the cloud underneath it will serve as the new platform. The clouds act as [[Platform#Soft platforms|soft]] platforms. Due to being made of the Cloud [[terrain]], players can pass through these clouds from above in powerful [[knockback]] from a [[meteor smash]] or [[stage spike]]. The clouds do not have any grabbable edges. After a certain amount of time, the breakable stone platforms will regenerate.

If the stone platforms at the edges are broken, this can hinder players' [[Recovery|recoveries]], as the clouds do not have grabbable edges on them. The moving platform below the stage can boost recovery, by giving players ground where there is normally none.

 

In ''Ultimate'', there are now grabbable edges on the sides of the stone platforms when an adjacent stone platform is broken. Most of the clouds no longer use Cloud terrain, and so players cannot be launched downwards through them. The clouds that still use Cloud terrain are the left-most cloud and the right-most, chained cloud. Additionally, the chained cloud's stone platform is no longer solid underneath, meaning that it can be passed through from underneath, preventing stage spikes when knocked towards the platform from below.

With stage hazards turned off in ''Ultimate'', the stone platforms cannot be destroyed, and the moving platform underneath the stage does not appear.

*[[Skyworld Hothead glitch|Another one]] involves a [[Hothead]]. If the left side of the highest platform is destroyed, the Hothead will rapidly move back and forth on the right side's top left corner while it circles clockwise.

*Ironically, {{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Final Smash]] in ''Brawl'', [[Palutena's Army]], is hindered in its effectiveness when used on this stage. The Centurions hit the breakable stone platforms and are knocked out of flight, allowing characters with a fast enough spot dodge to completely dodge the attack.

*In the [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza]], this stage is mistakenly labeled as part of the {{uv|Zelda}} universe, but it is correctly labelled as part of the {{uv|Kid Icarus}} universe in the "50 Must-See Things" version. In this case, it may have been confused with [[Skyloft]], which is part of the ''Zelda'' universe.

*One of the floating islands in the background features a temple with a Palutena statue. This statue is modeled after her [[:File:Palutena - KI.png|artwork]] from the first Kid Icarus game.

*The game logo for this stage on the stage selection screen has been different in every game it has appeared in: in ''Brawl'', the logo was a modified ''Kid Icarus: Of Myth and Monsters'' logo; in ''Smash for Wii U'', it was a modified ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' logo; and in ''Ultimate'', the logo was taken from the original American ''Kid Icarus'' box art.

*In ''Ultimate'', [[Lugia]] cannot be summoned from a [[Poké Ball]] on this stage.

*{{SSBU|Steve}} is unable to destroy the breakable platforms with his down tilt or down smash.

*{{SSBU|Steve}} picks up wool blocks instead of dirt blocks on this stage.
