Boxing Ring (特設リング, Special Ring) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Dream. This stage is set in the World Circuit boxing ring from the Punch-Out!! series.

Stage layout[edit | edit source]

The boxing ring lies inside of an indoor stadium. An overhead light fixture hangs above the ring, along with a jumbotron in the background with large speakers astride of it. The stadium additionally features various lights, green krypton lasers, background pyrotechnics, fog machines along the entrance platforms, a scrolling LED panel hanging around the walls, and a visible audience surrounding the entirety of the ring.

Both sides of the stage feature sloped entrance platforms that incline downwards towards the ring. Players can spring off of the ropes strung around the left and right sides of the ring. These ropes can also be used to reach the light fixture hanging above. This light fixture can be stood on and even damaged to the point of it dropping down into the ring and breaking, consequently dimming the lighting of the stadium. It can deal damage on the way down and may potentially KO players who have high damage percentages.

The jumbotron displays the action in the ring. Both the surrounding scrolling LED panel and jumbotron display "KO!" when a character scores a KO, and "SUDDEN DEATH" during Sudden Death. When the Smash Ball appears, the scrolling text says "CHANCE!" instead of "PUNCH-OUT!!" or "SMASH BROS." The screen can display a versus splash with unique titles for the character shown, a character's KO and damage totals, and the time left in the match. If the battle is not timed, the time display will have dashes in place of numbers.

There are two aesthetic variants to this stage: one is the standard Punch-Out!! World Circuit boxing ring, and the other has a Super Smash Bros. motif. While each variant of the stage is chosen at random, players can also manually choose which variant of the stage they would like to play on at the stage select screen.

Origin[edit | edit source]

The boxing ring for the World Circuit as it appeared in Punch-Out!! for the Wii.

In every home console Punch-Out!! game, the player plays as Little Mac as he works his way up in professional boxing circuits to become the W.V.B.A. (World Video Boxing Association) champion. The World Circuit is the final circuit in the game. The Punch-Out!! variation of this stage is loosely based on the World Circuit boxing ring that appears in Punch-Out!! for the Wii, though the text displays "Punch-Out!!" rather than "World Circuit." The jumbotron hanging above the ring is taken from the Punch-Out!! arcade game, though in addition to displaying player stats like in said game, it also shows the action from the ring in real-time.
