The Boxing Ring (特設リング Tokusetsu Ringu?, "Special Ring") is a stage appearing in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and has returned in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This stage originates from the Punch-Out!! Series, but it has an alternate version, where it is themed for the Super Smash Bros. series. The Boxing Ring was featured in Little Mac's reveal trailer, as well as Ken's and Incineroar's.
Design[]
A generic indoor stadium with a jumbotron, with a visible audience in the background, and fights taking place in a boxing ring. It has been shown that characters can stand on the ropes surrounding the ring and perform spring jumps off of them for extra height. It has also been shown that the lights high above can be knocked down to make the room darker, with the falling lights causing a powerful explosion.
It was shown to have "Smash Bros." signs and symbols initially, which made it unclear whether the stage was from Punch-Out!!, or if it was an original Smash stage. At Little Mac's reveal, however, the Smash symbols were shown replaced with Punch-Out!! logos, showing that the stage is indeed a Punch-Out!! stage as was speculated since the stage's reveal. This led people to believe the Smash symbols were just placeholders to hide the fact it was a Punch-Out!! stage and by extension Little Mac's inclusion in the earlier trailers, but in a later Miiverse post by Sakurai, it was confirmed that the earlier seen Smash version will be another version of the stage. It's unknown at this time if there will be any non-aesthetic differences between the versions. Players can choose which version they want to play on the 3DS by pressing the R Button and the ZR Button on the Wii U for the Smash Bros. version or the Y Button for the Punch-Out!! version. Otherwise, the version will be random.
Initially this stage seemed to be exclusive to the Wii U version of the game, though with Little Mac's reveal, a 3DS version has been confirmed.
Origin[]
In every home-console Punch-Out!! game, the player plays as Little Mac as he works his way up in professional boxing circuits to become the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA) champion. The last circuit that Little Mac goes through is the World Circuit. The Punch-Out!! variation of this stage is loosely based on the World Circuit boxing ring that appears in Punch-Out!! for the Wii.
The concept of the ring itself seems to originate on King Dedede's boxing ring from the early Kirby games, as well as taking its modern-day elements from the recent Punch-Out!! games, including the scrolling text in the background; however, the text in Punch-Out!! read "World Circuit" rather than "Punch-Out!!".
Character titles[]
The giant screen of this stage in the Wii U version and Ultimate reenacts the multi-screen effect seen in the arcade version of Punch-Out!!, it will also display their aliases:

Trivia[]
- This is one of the 9 stages in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U that does not appear in the Classic Mode for that game, the other 8 being Jungle Hijinxs, 75m, Temple, The Great Cave Offensive, Flat Zone X, Palutena's Temple, Gaur Plain, and Miiverse.
- As Punch-Out!! is itself a fighting game series, Boxing Ring is one of only four stages in the Super Smash Bros. series to be featured as a stage in fighting games outside of the Super Smash Bros. series, the others being Green Hill Zone, Suzaku Castle, and Pyrosphere.
- Holding the Left and Right shoulder buttons will always make the Boxing Ring be the Smash Bros. variant in the 3DS version, holding the L button, will be a Smash Bros. themed stage and by pressing the Y button, it will be a Punch-Out!! themed stage. Selecting it normally will choose the theme randomly.
- The alias for R.O.B. is a clear reference to the Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where the Ancient Minister (being the R.O.B. that joins the party), is the last one that left after the rest of them are gone with the island.
- The aliases for Marth & Ike were said by Lucina & Robin on their reveal trailer.
- The jumbotron may not say "K.O." due to a glitch.
- Hacked cameras revealed that the other side of the jumbotron also displays imagery.
- Fox's alias in the European version is a quote both his father and Peppy Hare say in Star Fox 64.
- Luigi’ alias in the American version is the same as the one used in Super Smash Bros. upon unlocking him.
