The brand-new Spring Stadium stage will be included along with Min Min and 18 songs from ARMS when Challenger Pack #6 launches for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate next week.
Spring Stadium, fellow ARMS character Spring Man’s home stage in ARMS, was showcased during this morning’s Mr. Sakurai Presents presentation on Challenger Pack #6.
Spring Stadium includes cheering crowds in the background along with an electronic billboard that cycles through various ARMS fighters like Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Mechanica, Twintelle, and more.
The stage also features jumping platforms that appear on either side; if players jump while standing on them, they’ll soar vertically through the sky and damage opponents they make contact with.
Spring Stadium includes ceiling arches over the arena. Players that get launched into the arches can bounce off them and follow-up afterward with a combo.
“These will cause many unexpected incidents, but you can try to break your fall the moment you make contact, for example,” series director Masahiro Sakurai explains in the above video. “Sometimes, that can save you, so please try it out.”
If players have items turned on, “ARMS Drones” carrying items will sometimes appear, which players will then have to free from their clasps.
Be sure to check out our list of all the ARMS songs that will play on Spring Stadium when it’s available, too!
Challenger Pack #6, which includes Spring Stadium, Min Min, and 18 music tracks from ARMS, launches Monday, June 29th; owners of Fighters Pass Vol. 2 should be set to download the DLC immediately, but the pack can also be purchased separately for $5.99 USD.
