## **Stage Info**

Tortimer Island is a wonderful island where the weather is always sunny and all manner of summer-appropriate creatures can be found year long. The town’s mayor will only learn about this island after they’ve paid off their first home loan as after that Isabelle will introduce the mayor to their predecessor, Tortimer. Tortimer invites the new mayor to hangout at their island and tells them that all they have to do to get there is just talk to Kapp’n and have Kapp’n take them to the island by boat. There the mayor will be able to go on tours or receive rental items from a local gyroid named Lloid.

## **Stage Layout**

Tortimer Island is a (mostly) flat stage set in the middle of the ocean. While this stage doesn’t have any floating platforms, its layout can change from one match to the next and will sometimes feature small ledges that need to be jumped over or pools of water that can be ran through. There will however always be a boat dock to either the left or right side of the island. In Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, the water surrounding the island couldn’t be swam through and fighters would just fall right through it, however in all subsequence editions the water is swimmable.

A shack can be found in the background of the stage and by it fighters can spot a few different characters who are watching the fight. These characters won’t be the same everytime but will be chosen from Tortimer, Leila, Leilani, Grams, and Lloid.

## **Hazards**

### **Kapp'n**

Kapp’n can also be found on the stage from time to time as he pilots his boat towards the dock. When Kapp’n’s boat is on the stage, fighters can use it as an additional platform however when the boat starts to  leave the island they would be wise to get off of the boat or risk being driven past the blast zones.

### **Trees**

Trees can also be found at various points on the island where different fruits (or Beehives) can grow on them. These trees can be attacked to have them drop what is growing from them onto the ground. A list of what can grow on the trees can their effects is as follows.

* **Apple** - Heals the fighter 4% damage.
* **Banana** - Heals the fighter 3% damage then grants them a Banana Peel.
* **Beehive** - The Beehive item which can be thrown and have bees burst out of it to attack nearby fighters.
* **Cherry** - Heals the fighter 6% damage.

### **Shark**

A shark can sometimes be found swimming to either side of the island. This shark will attack fighters who get near it in the water and launch them up into the air. If the shark is in the water when Kapp’n’s boat starts to move, the shark will immediately despawn regardless of what side of the island it's on. Additionally, the shark cannot spawn while the boat is moving and will only spawn again once it's either docked next to the island or has disappeared past the blast zones.
