Super Smash Bros. Ultimate saw the long-awaited return of an adventure mode to a Smash Bros. title, as it had been 10 years since Brawl’s lengthy, cinematic Subspace Emissary. While World of Light may not be filled with high-quality cutscenes or follow as grand of a narrative, this new adventure mode still has plenty to offer.

Taking a look at the full map in World of Light shows just how massive it is, with an absolute ton of spirits to fight and miniature puzzles to solve. Within this massive overworld lies lots of references, easter eggs, and secrets to be discovered.

10 The Nintendo City

The urban areas found in World of Light take up a pretty good portion of the map, and they hold a bunch of tiny secrets. The area with the most secrets is this main city area, where a lot of the buildings are nods to Nintendo’s plethora of handhelds and home consoles.

Taking a closer look at this section of the map reveals an orange GameCube, a purple Nintendo 64, the Nintendo 64 logo, a Wii and Wii remote, a SNES mouse, SNES button building, and a GameBoy Micro.

9 Lumiose City

The second of the bigger urban areas shows a striking resemblance to Pokémon X & Y’s Lumiose City. If the Eifel Tower-like structure in the center with the surrounding buildings wasn’t an immediate giveaway, then a Pokémon Center can be spotted around where it would appear in the actual game.

Pokémon X & Y have a surprising amount of representation within Smash Bros., with Greninja taking the spot as the Gen 6 Pokémon representative along with a full Lumiose City stage.

8 Mario Kart Signs

There’s a small area of the map dedicated to Nintendo’s racing titles, with Mario Kart being the prime showcase. Looking closely reveals many of the advertisements seen on signs in many Mario Kart titles, even if this area isn’t solely dedicated to the series.

Running around this area as Captain Falcon must be torture for the poor man as he may be doomed to an eternity of an F-Zero drought.

7 Sheikah Tower

This reference is a bit more blatant than others, but it’s still an easy miss with how well it blends into the background. This is obviously a Sheikah Tower from Breath of the Wild, and Link’s design change plus the new Zelda stage made it an inevitability that one of these towers would be on the map.

There’s no kind of interaction that can be done with it, but the Sheikah Tower serves as one of many details that Sakurai and his team included in every single part of this massive world.

6 The Giant Beanstalk

Gargantuan beanstalks have been a staple in various kinds of media since the early 18th century with the English fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, and they have made several appearances within Nintendo’s iconic franchises.

The series that beanstalks are seen in the most is Mario. One appears in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and has an entire episode based around it, while there is a beanstalk-themed track in Mario Kart 8 in the form of Cloudtop Cruise.

5 The Spirit Train

Even the simplest of actions within World of Light can have some nod or reference to gaming, including the section of the map littered with train tracks. The train rode during this section is none other than the Spirit Train from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

This train is also featured in its very own Spirit Tracks themed stage. Between the Sheikah Tower, the Spirit Train, the enormous Sacred Land section of World of Light, and the six Zelda characters, Zelda has a ton of representation this time around.

4 Bunnies? Aliens?

This is, undoubtedly, one of the weirdest finds on the entire map, as it doesn’t really seem to reference anything specific or have any clear-cut explanation. It’s found in the area right below Galeem in the candy-filled grasslands.

It has a sort of crop-circle look to it, and having aliens appear in the World of Light wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary. For now, fans are left to speculate.

3 Shop Themes

The various shops around the World of Light map show off a bunch of different characters from various Nintendo franchises, but it may be harder to notice that most of these shops have a distinctive look based on the series they’re from and the characters who inhabit them.

Just to name a few, there’s Nook’s Cranny from Animal Crossing, the Ammo Knights weapon shop from Splatoon 2, and Anna’s shop from Fire Emblem.

2 The Lylat System

Riding the Great Fox through this solar system is an obvious reference to the Star Fox franchise, but the area of the map itself is a less blatant nod. This area closely resembles the Lylat System map seen in Star Fox 2.

It isn’t a 1-to-1 recreation of the Lylat System, but the purple ringed planet resembling Eladard and the orange planet resembling Macbeth, along with the other planets being in similar locations and having comparable colors to the ones found in Star Fox 2, makes it a pretty clear design choice.

1 The Broken, Snowy Peaks

99% of the World of Light map is a gorgeous, hand-drawn work of art to traverse, but the very corner of the map shows an odd bug that was never fixed. Taking the camera to the very top-left corner of the map reveals an out-of-place square texture over the background.

No other corner or portion of the map has anything close to this. Considering Smash Ultimate has had numerous updates and patches so far, it is strange that this glitch has remained intact.
