During battles, items related to Nintendo games or merchandise fall onto the game field. These items have purposes ranging from inflicting damage on the opponent to restoring health to the player.Additionally, most stages have a theme relating to a Nintendo franchise or a specific Nintendo game and are interactive to the player.
