Dream Land: Green Greens is a stage in the Super Smash Bros. series, first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It represents the Kirby series and is based on the first level of Kirby's Dream Land. Green Greens consists of three islands floating high above Dream Land's lush countryside somewhere near the coast. Star-shaped islands with blue snow-topped mountains and the ocean are visible in the distance. The tree boss, Whispy Woods watches from the background, occasionally interfering by trying to blow fighters around or dropping apples that can be used as weapons or recovery items. Fighters can break the falling Star Blocks that spawn in the gaps between islands but if they hit a Bomb Block they will take heavy damage (22%).
The stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In Brawl it is an unlockable stage, obtained by playing 20 matches as Kirby.
Stage Elements[]
Green Greens is split into 3 islands, separated by pits that fill with falling Star Blocks and occasionally Bomb Blocks. The outer two parts are 1/3 of the width of the main platform and symmetrical with each other. They are also slightly lower elevation than the main part.
The main island is much larger with one main platform and two higher passable platforms. Whispy Woods stands in the background watching the fighters. Whispy Woods effects the stage in two ways. First, he blows in the direction he faces, pushing back the players on the main part. He can also shake his branches causing apples to fall and land on the stage. If a fighter comes in contact with an apple as its's falling, they will take damage and knockback. Once they land though, they can be picked up either as recovery or as a thrown weapon.
The falling blocks fall randomly in a pattern of 3 columns and reach a maximum of four blocks height. They are in line with the outer platforms at the lowest. As the blocks are falling, players can get in the way. Star Blocks will just disappear but Bomb Blocks will explode. The blocks can also be destroyed by pretty much any attack though the Bomb Blocks will explode if attacked. Bomb Blocks do 22% damage and have high knockback.
Adventure Mode[]
Green Greens is the 5th stage of Adventure Mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Players fight a single Kirby followed by the Kirby Team, consisting of 15 Kirbys all wearing different ability hats. If the player completes both of these fights in under 30 seconds, an optional fight with a Giant Kirby will occur.

Origin[]
Green Greens is based off the level of the same name from Kirby's Dream Land and its Kirby Super Star remake, Spring Breeze. Many elements of its design are also inspired by Pop Star's first stage in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, which was the most recent Kirby game at the time of Super Smash Bros. Melee's release. Some design elements from Kirby 64 include; the checkerboard floating platforms, the pattern of the dirt road that fighters fight on and the white picket fence in the background, as well as Whispy Woods who sits in the background and attacks the foreground similarly to his boss fight in Kirby 64. The falling Star Blocks are likely based on a room in Super Star's Great Cave Offensive subgame and could also be inspired by the spin-off puzzle game, Kirby's Star Stacker.
Trivia[]
- Despite the Fantasy theme of the stage, the appearance of the containers are the classic wooden ones.
- Although Whispy Woods' design is taken from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star, his attacks are more like those of the Whispy Woods in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
