## **Stage Info**

Ninjabread Man is a diligent trainee of all manner of whole-baked martial arts. Here is his dojo, where the Ninjabread Master once resided and set him on the warrior's path. The Ninjabread Dojo is based partially off of the training level in our hero's titular masterpiece, with pancake-and-ice cream ridges painting the canyon in its background alongside a pink cotton candy sky. The dojo itself is a gingerbread house, of course!

## **Stage Layout**

The Ninjabread Dojo is flanked by a Battlefield-sized length of chocolate chip cookie-land on either side. The fight begins inside of the dojo, which in itself is a flat, gingerbread floor surrounded by two gingerbread walls and a thatched gingerbread ceiling in a mighty gingerbread house. The roof and ceiling can be attacked, eventually crumbling the dojo to the ground for upwards of 20 seconds before it is rebuilt by the might of a dozen helpful, giant Kirby-sized bees that fly onto stage and set the crumpled pieces back into place. The bees themselves are benevolent and fly back from whence they came rather quickly after the house is built back up from the earth, though they can "bee" provoked. The dojo is about the size of Mishima Dojo. Unlike Mishima Dojo, its walls can simply be walked through—large door openings are present on either side. Although, their sides can also be attacked, resulting in the same crumbling of the gingerbread dojo if attacked too much. If the dojo crumbles, its base floor with two raised ramps on either side will remain, keeping the area that the dojo will reform a smidge above the rest of the cookie earth.

In the background, fighters can observe bees, snapping cupcakes, and monstrous hopping jelly blobs stalking about the ninjabread countryside along with other cameos from the game, including floating collectibles and a high-rise of multiple mushroom-like platforms. Ninjabreadtastic!

## **Stage Hazards**

### **Bees**

A handful of bees will be present on the foreground while reconstructing the Ninjabread Dojo. If they are hit, they will turn into a frenzy, and their horde mentality will be focused on the ones who hit them for a moment's time as they attack them in a cloudy flurry. This will result in the fighter being left with a potential confused state with scrambled controls for a number of seconds that corresponds to how much damage they've racked up. The bees come and go so quickly that, although not totally impervious, it's best to stay away.

### **Jelly Blob**

Roving Jelly Blobs will occasionally slip onto the stage, sliding back and forth and hopping along like a toad, two to three Kirbys in length at a time. Their only form of attack is to jump on top of their foes, encasing them within their gelatinous confines for a moment's time. Scramble to break free, and you'll break them apart, too!

### **Snapping Cupcake**

Every so often, a Snapping Cupcake will wander in from either side of the stage, slowly snapping back and forth in its lackadaisical cruise around the dojo. No land is off-limits for it, and it will wander into the dojo if it so feels like. If it comes into close proximity with a fighter, it'll begin rampantly chomping as it careens forward, biting at them. A few hits will dispatch of the sweet foe, which will tend to explode into a collection of dessert-based Food to nab.
