The background of the stage has an image of a coffee shop (or pub) in [[wikipedia:Palo Alto|Palo Alto]], California, hence its nicknames. The platforms are all gray polygons and come in different sizes, with no textures. Some of these platforms are immobile, while some move vertically. The stage is very wide and stretches out at a long distance. The player can use any [[item]], [[enemies]], or other objects that the debug menu allows players to use. The [[Corneria]] stage music plays on this level.

It can be assumed that this stage was meant to be a test for Adventure Mode. The obnoxiously long length of this stage, and the way the platforms are placed, support this theory. It is safe to assume that it may have been for a Mario stage (Adventure Mode Stage 1, which would fit the Test theme) or a Starfox Stage (the music).

The background of the stage has an image of a coffee shop (or pub) in Palo Alto, California, hence its nicknames. The platforms are all gray polygons and come in different sizes, with no textures. Some of these platforms are immobile, while some move vertically. The stage is very wide and stretches out at a long distance. The player can use any item, enemies, or other objects that the debug menu allows players to use. The Corneria stage music plays on this level.

The background image, while looking highly unusual for a Smash Bros. game, is actually a common test image used in 3D graphics. Some OpenGL books have exercises that involve adding the texture of a coffee shop or a bar to round objects or similar models.
