Midgar (stage)

Midgar is a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, bundled with Cloud Strife. It is based on and shares a name with the city of Midgar, a massive, technologically-advanced city on the planet Gaia and a central location in Final Fantasy VII.

The Midgar stage's overall layout resembles Battlefield, with the city itself in the background. However, at various intervals in the match, Summon Materia appears on the stage, although this does not occur in 8-Player Smash. Collecting a materia causes one of the game's various summons to appear and cause an effect on the stage:


 * Odin cuts the stage in two with its sword, which also launches any fighters he hits.
 * Leviathan floods the underside of the stage, Ramuh electrifies and changes the positions of the three platforms
 * Ifrit moves and tilts the stage with a pillar of fire
 * Bahamut ZERO uses a beam attack that strikes the city before it reaches one portion of the stage, dealing heavy damage to any fighter caught in its blast.

The stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If the player does not have Challenge Pack 8 containing Sephiroth and Northern Cave, Midgar has the fewest number of possible songs to play on the stage with only two songs, although this trait is now shared with Flat Zone X. However, if the player has downloaded the pack, more songs from Final Fantasy VII are added, which can be played on Midgar.
