Designed stages will be available to play in a new tab on the Stage Select screen and can be shared online via the new Smash World service for the Nintendo Switch Online app.
Next up is the Video Editor! Edit your matches you’ve saved to our console, and offers both subtitles and sound effects to make a more personalized edit of your matches. Once you’re ready you can upload your videos to the new Smash World service.

Lastly is Smash World, a new hub that players use to share their videos, download new stages built in Stage Builder and share the best levels created with Stage Builder. Using this feature requires a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online.
