Changes: Small Battlefield

Revision as of 06:34, 5 August 2020

Small Battlefield is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was added on August 4th, 2020 for free as a part of v8.1.0.

Stage overview

As the name implies, it is a slightly smaller version of Ultimate's Battlefield. Visually, it shares many of the same elements as the original, such as the waterfalls and floating ruins in the background. However, the major difference between the two is the missing top platform, with the minor changes being the top blast zone being lowered slightly and the remaining two platforms being moved slightly more inward.

According to Masahiro Sakurai, the stage was designed mainly for competitive 1-vs-1 battles, as he felt that the regular Battlefield was too wide and Final Destination was too empty for these sort of matches. As such, Small Battlefield was made to be the middle ground of the two.

Much like Big Battlefield, this layout cannot be chosen for the rest of the game's stages. To compensate for this, the development team has given it the option to play all the songs currently available in Ultimate (this ability was also given to Battlefield, Big Battlefield, and Final Destination as a part of v8.1.0)

Trivia

This is the third stage to be added for free, succeeding Miiverse for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Duck Hunt for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
- It is the first free stage in Ultimate.
