Hollow Bastion
Hollow Bastion is a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, released on October 18, 2021 along with Sora. It is set on a platform that floats around the Hollow Bastion castle from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. The stage was announced on the same day as Sora, on October 5, 2021.
The platform begins at Rising Falls before floating towards the castle. Different characters, locations and miscellaneous references to the Kingdom Hearts series appear in the background of the stage. If either time is running low in the battle or a player has a low stock count, the stage transitions into a different, darker environment with the background featuring murals of characters from the series. This second part of the stage is based on the "Dive to the Heart" realm from the series.

Trivia
- The murals in the Hollow Bastion stage use the similar Mural designs from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. However, in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse are removed from Sora's and Riku's mural, due to Masahiro Sakurai's rule to only keep video game originated characters in the Super Smash Bros. franchise.
