An unlockable stage is a stage that is not available at the beginning of the game, unlike a starter stage, but must be received through other means.
In Smash 64, the game did not use placeholders for unlockable stages. In Melee, this was the only installment which used placeholders for unlockable stages. The only unlockable stages which appeared as placeholders was Mushroom Kingdom II, Brinstar Depths, Fourside, Big Blue, and Poké Floats. The other 6 unlockable stages (Flat Zone, Past Stages, and Special Stages) did not appear as placeholders. The placeholder slots were removed in Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate.
