After completing Classic Mode, the {{ssb|credits}} will roll. During the credits, [[Blast Away! -Gummi Ship II-]] plays for Sora.

When a fighter is on their final stock or low on health, or if the timer is at one minute, the stage transforms into the [[Dive to the Heart]]. The layout remains the same, but the large platform is now a generic station, and the smaller platform now resembles part of the stained glass staircase. The background features a random Station of Sora, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Terra, Ventus, or Aqua.

Excluding Ventus's Station, the designs of each characters' Station of Awakening are the versions used in the 15th anniversary merchandise: Sora's, Riku's, Aqua's, and Terra's stations are from the Square Enix Cafe's coaster design, while Roxas's and Xion's stations are from the [[Memorial Stained Glass Clock]] event. Ventus's station however is directly from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. With hazards off, the stage does not transform into the Dive to the Heart, even in Battlefield and Ω forms.
