Wii Fit Studio[1] (Wii Fit スタジオ,Wii Fit Studio) is astage inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.Wii Fit Trainer is fought here for her unlock battle inUltimate.
Stage overview[edit]
Wii Fit Studio is awalk-off stage, consisting of a large floor extending to the lateralblast lines, with no pits of any kind. The background features a giant mirror reflecting the battle, which allows viewers to see beyond the normal limits of the screen, but not beyond the blast lines. The mirror can at times disappear, being replaced with a white background featuring silhouettes which demonstrate the following yoga positions:
Half Moon,Warrior,Tree,Sun Salutation,Dance,Bridge,Gate
While the mirror is active, two or three Wii Balance Boards acting assoft platforms can descend from the ceiling, remaining present for some time before ascending again. The layout of the platforms is randomly selected from 125 different configurations. Like the platforms onUmbra Clock Tower,Prism Tower, andMagicant, they disappear just before touching the upper blast line, preventing fighters from being KO'd by them.
An animatedWii Balance Board waddles around and occasionally stops and stretches facing the camera, but has no bearing on the battle. At times, a Wii Fit Trainer's voice can be heard, giving instructions on yoga positions. InUltimate, the human silhouettes from various on-screen indicators in theWii Fit series appear as background characters, performing yoga and using the exercise machines.
Star KOs andScreen KOs are disabled on this stage, due to the mirror.
In8-Player Smash, the mirror does not appear.
Ω forms and Battlefield form[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, theΩ form removes the walk-offs, the walking Wii Balance Board, and Wii Balance Board platforms, and the platform extends below theblast line. The mirror does not appear, instead having only the background with the trainer's silhouette, but the trainer's voice lines can still be heard.
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Ω form andBattlefield form are similar toSSB4's Ω form; however, the main platform does not extend below the blast line and is resized and reshaped to matchFinal Destination andBattlefield, respectively. The threesoft platforms of the Battlefield form are Wii Balance Boards, which in turn are based on the soft platforms of the normal form.

Hazards Off[edit]
With hazards off inUltimate, the back wall remains in mirror form for the whole match, and while the stage still selects random positions for the floating platforms, they never leave their place.
Origin[edit]
The stage is based on the Wii Fit Trainers' studio inWii Fit, which they appear in during yoga lessons.
The Wii Balance Board is a Wii accessory that is used to play theWii Fit games and is available as part of the control scheme of some other select games. An animated Wii Balance Board acts as the player's advisor in theWii Fit games.
Tournament legality[edit]
Wii Fit Studio is universally banned from tournaments due to the presence of walk-off blast lines which encourage camping and allow for early KOs. Additionally, the mirror in the background can increase the chance of lag occurring, as well as potentially create a distraction to players.

The stage is now available for 8-player mode. For performance reasons, The background does not change to a mirror while in this mode. Ω form remains at a maximum of 6 players.

Trivia[edit]
- Uniquely, the main platform in the 8-Player Ω form differs from that of the regular Ω form's main platform, as the exercise equipment is not resized with the rest of the platform. The only other stage to have this trait isMinecraft World.
- It is normally impossible to beStar KO'd orScreen KO'd on this stage. Using game modifications, it is possible to enable these KOs on the stage, resulting in strange effects. Star KO'd characters will appear to fly closer to the stage and at some angles will even appear to be in front of the stage. Screen KO'd characters will be seen in the mirror and will sink into the ground. This allows viewing of characters' Screen KO models and animations in their entirety.
- InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,Alucard is one of seven Assist Trophies that don't appear on this stage. During a tournament hosted by Nintendo Spain on December 14, 2018, it was stated that he doesn't appear because the stage has a giant mirror, referencing how vampires are traditionally said not to cast reflections in mirrors.Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow shows that this also applies to Alucard.[2] IfUltimate is hacked to spawn him in Wii Fit Studio, he does have a reflection; his appearance was most likely disabled to avoid having to program special behavior for his reflection.
- The other Assist Trophies which cannot appear on this stage are: theMoon (due to the stage being indoors),Nightmare,Andross,Devil,Nikki, andYuri Kozukata. Additionally, the followingPoké Ball Pokémon cannot be summoned:Abra,Lugia andLunala. Aside from Nikki and Abra, all of these characters move into the stage's background, which could cause issues with the mirror. Abra is excluded due to this being a walk-off stage.
- The mirror in the background is not actually a mirror, but simply the entire stage flipped on the z-axis. This is a common trick in video games, as it is much easier than making a texture that reflects perfectly. This means that the player is actually controlling two character models at the same time during a game.
- This causes a side effect where actions with random elements, such asPac-Man'sNamco Roulette, would often not show the same effect on both sides. This is prevented by simply removing the effects on the mirror side.
- The silhouettes of the trainers doing poses in the background are 3D models. Normally, they are reduced to a monochrome silhouette, but if theSquid Sisters are playing on theΩ orBattlefield forms, the harsh lighting right next to the trainer will reveal the features of their body, making it possible to see their model in some detail, includingZ-fighting where some limbs join.
