Shadow Moses Island (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Shadow Moses Island appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see its article on the Metal Gear Wiki.
Shadow Moses Island is an active stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted halfway through Season 18 and is the 67th stage to debut overall.
==Stage overview==
This stage consists of flat ground, with a single soft platform above it. There are two smaller soft platforms in-between that are attached to gigantic watchtowers.
Initially, the only way you can kill anyone on this stage is by the top kill zone. However, the watchtowers can be attacked, thus making the side kill zones accessible; both large platforms extend past the watchtowers and have walk-offs. The top halves of the towers can take 60% before being destroyed, while the bottom halves can take 90%. When a watchtower is completely destroyed, it will be rebuilt after two minutes, with any fighters beyond the towers being pushed back to the center of the stage to prevent a softlock (this is not foolproof, however; some fighters can jump over the towers).
Spotlights appear on the stage every now and then. If they find a fighter, the "!" sound plays and the spotlight will stay focused on that fighter for 15 seconds. Unlike in the actual Metal Gear games, this is purely aesthetic. Finally, in the last two minutes of a timed battle, the roof will break apart, exposing either Metal Gear REX or RAY, or two Gekkoes.
Finally, Snake has a special taunt he can perform on this stage, where he engages in a Codec Conversation with Col. Roy Campbell, Mei Ling, or Otacon about one randomly-selected opponent. Unlike in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Codec Converstations are up-to-date and can involve characters not in Brawl; to get around the hang-up the Japanese had over recording new taunts for Ultimate, conversations for characters that debuted after Season 40 do not involve the Colonel.
==Changes==
None.
==In its own universe==
Shadow Moses Island, allegedly in Alaska, is one of the major areas of Metal Gear Solid 1. Solid Snake, who had been retired for some time prior to the game's events, is called out of retirement to infiltrate the place and take down Metal Gear REX before Liquid Snake can launch its nukes. Metal Gear RAY comes from MGS2: Sons of Liberty, while the Gekkoes seen on this stage come from MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.
