Stages

Minecraft World is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. True to the source material, it can take the appearance of various biomes, affecting the stage layout. The stage also has a day-night cycle. The background of this stage is seemingly based on Template:JE, due to terrain differences such as the abundance of tall grass in the Plains stage and snow layers not occupying the same block as plants in the Snowy Tundra stage.

Each biome can be forced to load by entering inputs in the stage select screen. The biomes are, as follows:

  • Plains - the default biome. Features a village in the background, with a bell and animal pen. The layout includes a broken-down house and a pile of hay bales. This biome is also used in the Battlefield and Omega layout of the stage. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn.
  • Birch Forest - features two platforms hidden in two birch trees. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn + Template:Nsbtn.
  • Savanna - has a double-canopy acacia tree, which hides a platform. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn + Template:Nsbtn up.
  • Taiga - features a single taiga village house in the background. The stage layout contains a cobblestone boulder and a spruce tree. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn + Template:Nsbtn right.
  • Snowy Tundra - features a snowy tundra village house in the background, along with a sheep pen and a lamp post. The stage layout has two platforms and an igloo in the middle. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn + Template:Nsbtn down.
  • Stone Shore - features a single platform and a cave-like stone formation, with an ocean separating the main stage from the mountains. Can be loaded by holding Template:Nsbtn + Template:Nsbtn left.

Music

Template:Tooltip Title Arrangement by Length Origin Description
1. "Halland / Dalarna" ACE (TOMOri Kudo / CHiCO) 2:52 Template:MCD Like the original songs, the arrangement is led by a piano, but the tempo is much faster paced. The song also incorporates electric guitar riffs, a modern drum kit, and string sections. The arrangement is synched to the day-night cycle of the Minecraft World stage, assuming the match isn't paused.
2. "Earth" Mitsuhiro Kitadani 2:47 Template:MCE An upbeat orchestral style remix with a drum-and-bass beat.
3. "Clockwork Crafter" N/A 2:59 Template:El This song is not arranged and is ripped directly from the original game.
4. "Toys on a Tear" Yuzo Koshiro 2:28 Faithful to the original, this arrange includes acoustic and electric guitars as well as the FM synth style instrumentation from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive's chip in place of the chimes, a style often used by the arranger.
5. "Dance of the Blocks" Yoko Shimomura 2:12 Much like the previous song, this is a faithful arrangement of the original track. It includes lighter percussion as well as a timpani, and is generally calmer and more subdued.
6. "Glide" Hiroki Hashimoto 2:48 The arrange is done in an orchestral style much like original, but loops and new instruments like the acoustic guitar are incorporated.
7. "The Arch-Illager" Motoi Sakuraba 2:41 Template:MCD An orchestral arrange that remains faithful to the original. It incorporates a choir, a modern drum kit, and elements of piano.

Mii Fighter costumes

  • Creeper (Brawler) - a model replacement costume for the Mii Brawler. The Mii's limbs are replaced by floating creeper legs.
  • Pig (Brawler) - another model replacement costume for the Mii Brawler in a similar vein to the Creeper (Brawler). The costume may be based on the famous pig model error.
  • Diamond Armor (Swordfighter) - a suit costume for the Mii Swordfighter, giving it diamond armor and a diamond sword.

Trivia

  • Steve is referred within the game files with the codename "pickel". In Japanese, the loanword pikkeru is used to refer to ice axes, deriving from the German word "Eispickel".
  • According to former Minecraft production director Daniel Kaplan, it took at least 5 years of negotiating between Nintendo and Mojang Studios for Steve to appear in Smash.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
  • Steve's alternate costumes each consist of a single texture taken from Minecraft and modified slightly presumably to account for the different lighting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This notably makes modifying them through file replacement extremely simple.
