Tortimer Island (stage)
Tortimer Island is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate based on the island of the same name from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The stage's appearance is randomized each match, which affects its layout and the inclusion of some features.
It was first revealed on March 7, 2014, in the Director's Room Miiverse community,[citation needed] as well as on the official website for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.[citation needed]
Stage overview
Tortimer Island consists of a single platform with a slightly raised grassy area in the middle and a beach along the sides; the tour office can be seen in the background alongside Grams, Leila, Leilani, or Tortimer. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the water around the island cannot be swum in, with players simply falling through it, but it is swimmable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. On one end of the island is a pier, often in disrepair, that has a grabbable edge. Kapp'n will occasionally dock his boat, which serves as a solid platform, at the pier for a small amount of time before disembarking. In addition, a shark may sometimes linger near the island's shore, attacking players who get too close. On some variations of the stage, there is a shallow pool of water inland.
Fruit-bearing trees of various sizes that can be used as platforms may also appear on Tortimer Island. There are two types of trees: oak trees and palm trees. Oak trees only grow in the grass and function as a pair of platforms, producing apples, cherries, durians, lemons, lychees, mangos, peaches, pears, and oranges. Palm trees, on the other hand, only grow on the beach and function as a single platform, producing bananas and coconuts. Knocking the fruit to the ground allows players to interact with them. For example, every fruit besides coconuts and durians, which act as throwable items, can be used to recover health, and the five fruits considered native fruit in the Animal Crossing series rarely spawn as perfect fruit, which restore more health than their normal counterparts, as well. Occasionally, a beehive can be knocked out of an oak tree, though it is invisible to players until the oak tree holding it is struck.
Ω and Battlefield forms
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Ω form of Tortimer Island consists of a completely flat platform atop a cliff whose sides extend below the blast line. All stage hazards have been removed, though background characters will still appear next to the tour office.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the main platform no longer extends below the blast line in the Ω form, instead floating in midair. Like every stage in the game, Tortimer Island also has a Battlefield form, which is based on the Battlefield stage, and the three soft platforms found on it resemble the pier from the normal variant of the stage.

Tips
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
"The shallow waters around the island are home to some vicious sharks. They'll swim close and try to make a meal of an unsuspecting fighter."
"Durians and coconuts have no healing power, but sometimes they can explode when thrown."
"Kapp'n's boat will sail out to sea after some time has passed. Disembark before he sails you off the stage!"
"Beehives will occasionally fall from the trees. Unless you like swarms of bees attacking you, be careful not to hit those beehives..."
