Article on Xeno Series Wiki Gaur Plain

Gaur Plain (ガウル平原, Gaur Plain) is a stage in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4 and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on an area from Xenoblade Chronicles. Shulk is fought here for his unlock battle in Ultimate.

Stage overview

There are two main rock platforms high up on each side of the stage with walk-off edges, with a giant chasm in between. A collection of smaller and mostly soft platforms appear below the main platforms, with the exact layout changing between the two versions of the game; the Wii U version of the stage also features, near the bottom, some more soft platforms and hard platforms with springs on them: characters can use the springs to bounce up to the top platforms. The Wii U version also has an extra soft platform on the upper left side, below the main platform.

In the 3DS version, the top blast line is very close to the stage, while in the Wii U version it is much further away. The side blast lines are also much closer to the platforms compared to the Wii U version.

The stage at night, featuring Metal Face.

The background shifts through a day/night cycle. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate only, there's a chance that Metal Face will appear at night, attacking the players with his claws and laser beams. His laser beam attack can target any of the two upper platforms, making them fall and destroying the platforms underneath. The original layout is automatically restored some time after he is defeated. If attacked enough, Metal Face can be defeated, causing him to explode; the explosion harms all characters in its range except for the one who landed the finishing hit. However, he may return when night falls again.

Ω forms and Battlefield form

In Super Smash Bros. 4, the Ω form is set on a rocky platform that is completely flat with a pillar at the bottom that extends below the blast line, which is solid in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U version but just part of the background in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Metal Face, springs, and walk-offs are removed, but the day/night cycle still occurs.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the main platform of the Ω form and Battlefield form is similar to SSB4's Ω forms; however, it is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are metallic and are unique to this form.

Hazards Off

With hazards turned off in Ultimate, the springs are absent and Metal Face does not appear. This is reminiscent of the stage's design in for 3DS, though the platforms not in that version are still present.

Origin

Gaur Plain as it originally appeared in Xenoblade Chronicles.

In Xenoblade Chronicles, Gaur Plain is a location within the greater Bionis' Leg area. It is a lush, large plain featuring bodies of water and several peculiarly shaped rock formations. Shulk and his friend Reyn traverse it in their path to the Bionis' Head. In Xenoblade Chronicles, the plain is much closer to the Bionis' knee than in SSB4.

Even though the Gaur Plain stage allows the fighters (including Shulk) to fight on top of the mountain arcs, getting onto these arcs was originally not possible in Xenoblade Chronicles, since they were simply a background element.

The gigantic figure seen in the distance is the Mechonis, the other of the two gigantic beings which make up the world in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is visible from Gaur Plain in the original game, but, due to the aforementioned position change, in this stage it appears to be farther away.

Tournament legality

While the Ω form of this stage is allowed, the standard stage is banned from tournaments due to it being very open, allowing for camping. Metal Face disrupts and even destroys the stage occasionally in the Wii U version. The stage also has walk-offs.

Trivia

  • In Ultimate, the following Assist Trophies cannot appear on this stage: the Moon, Nightmare, Devil, Nikki and the Squid Sisters. Additionally, the following Poké Ball Pokémon cannot be summoned: Abra, Alolan Exeggutor, Lugia, Metagross, Inkay and Marshadow.
  • Due to the addition of Cloud Sea of Alrest, the 11.0.0 update in Ultimate reorganized Gaur Plain's default My Music settings. All songs from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had their default priority lowered to zero, while all other Xenoblade Chronicles songs had their priority raised. The default "alternate" song was also changed from Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to Gaur Plain, making it the only stage to change one of its default songs in an update.
