Franklin County High School (SSS)

Franklin County High School is, essentially, the flagship stage representing St. Clair Publications on Super Smash Stadium, as well as the official first such stage (although Malt Shop, in the Scooby-Doo: The Afterlife incarnation, had debuted nearly a full season prior). It's an active stage on SSS that debuted close to the end of Season 32 and is the 98th stage to debut overall.
Holds the record for being the home stage of the most characters, although only Ashley Nikiwawa and Coach Ellington actually debuted WITH it.
Is especially notable for the fact that the Smash Ball is the item that debuted with the stage, thus bringing Final Smashes to the show and forever revolutionizing the game.
Also, in the video game, this stage's layout, which seems to be a "favorite" of St. Clair Publications and is shared across a bunch of other stages that don't appear in a canon Smash game, is the basis for the Gamma Format, one of five alternate formats that stages can take during stage selection.
==Stage overview==
The stage takes place inside a high school gym during a basketball game. Despite the indoor venue, all kill zones except the bottom are open; the side ones are walk-offs. The game begins a minute into the match, and ends when one minute is left. The basketball game is a lot more intense than the volleyball game seen on Zack Island, with the basketball and players all acting as stage hazards that do quite a bit of damage and knockback if you get hit by them.
You can interfere in the game by hitting the ball and players, but knock out all five FCHS players, and the crowd will storm the court, likely killing you in the process! The game is somewhat realistically run like a high school basketball game, the possibility of uneven teams aside, and even features an announcer commentating on actions. The game ends early should all players on one team be taken out. The opposing team is another real-life high school from the "St. Clair Publications Universe", typically Salem High School or any or high school.On primetime specials, and have sometimes been featured instead!
==Changes==
On February 6, 2018, the gym endured a palette swap to match its "new" appearance in the Life in FCHS revival, as well as the new-ish colors that FCHS had been using since at least Season 7 (black, red, white, and gray as opposed to just red and white).
==In its own universe==
Franklin County High School, in (touching , even), is where Alex went to. As such, the original version of Life in FCHS was literally made while he was in FCHS, although he extended the show for a further six seasons afterward. He revived the show in 2016, ironically to replace Back to Coolsville, his intended replacement for Life.
