Battlefield

""While a similar stage known as Duel Zone appeared in the original Super Smash Bros., Battlefield as we know it debuted in Melee. With only three soft platforms and no gimmicks, it's as simple as a platfighter stage gets!""

Battlefield is a stage in Nexed, being directly lifted from the stage of the same name featured in the Super Smash Bros. series. While Battlefield has taken four incarnations within the series (five if the original's Duel Zone is counted), the version of the stage seen in Nexed resembles the version seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

History
Battlefield first appeared in the original Super Smash Bros. under the name "Duel Zone", serving as the area where the Fighting Polygon Team is fought during the 1P Game campaign. The stage was fairly similar layout-wise to future incarnations, although it had a blockier design. However, it was unavailable in the standard game, making it impossible to play multiplayer matches on it without the use of hacks or mods.

Battlefield would return in every future Super Smash Bros. game, using its current name starting with Melee and being available outside of single player modes (although it retains its role as the location where each game's multi-man teams are fought). While the aesthetic and specific layout details change with every installment, the stage's three-platform layout remains the same.

Layout
Battlefield takes place in a dark void, with the background displaying a color gradient which shifts between purple, green, and red as the match progresses. The appearance of a wired grid indicates the transition between backgrounds.

The stage takes place on a flat body of land with an angled bottom (including an area in the center where players can stall by wall-jumping off the ribcage-like protrusions). Three soft platforms are placed above the stage in a pyramid pattern. The only major change made from Battlefield's Melee incarnation is the expansion of the stage's ledges, while they were notoriously finicky in its original form.

Hazards
Battlefield has no hazards. In addition, the layouts of its normal form and "Tournament B" form are identical, due to the latter using the stage's layout as a base to begin with.

Trivia

 * All versions of Battlefield from across Smash were considered to appear; Melee's incarnation was chosen because Faz thought it looked the coolest.
