Spring Valley (Stage)
Job #??: NiGHTS Stage - Spring Valley

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nid/images/0/09/SpringValley.png/revision/latest?cb=20210217154937

Spring Valley is the series' most prominent stage, as it is Claris' first world in NiGHTS into Dreams (even though Elliot also visited it in some of the cutscenes, Christmas NiGHTS, an Archie comic and a storybook), being the only accessible world in its Christmas version, appeared as a pinball table in Sonic Adventure & Pinball Party, mini-games on Game Boy Advance & SEGA Superstars, a "Dream Valley" circuit in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, referenced in Burning Rangers as a square, one of the teams in a baseball scene from the Sonic movie and IDW's recent 30th anniversary comic (complete with Badnik versions of Shleeps and Hollows), etc.

Players are fighting on a floating platform as it flies through a structure at the start, a few sections with sparkling water from the melted snow in a mountain, lush vegetation and spring atmosphere. While a platform is traveling, the terrain will damage fighters and launch them back by turning into small hills if they touch it (like in F-Zero stages). In the background, the Nightopians and Mepians can be seen doing many things such as singing, dancing, rolling, walking, whistling, clapping, making bubbles and fishing cake.

Enemies such as Shleeps (inflating themselves when close enough), Hollows (shooting small energy orbs), Kircles (grabbing fighters to drag them down and then blowing up) and Alarm Eggs (paralyzes fighters when hit) will appear as hazards to attack fighters, though they can be easily defeated, and Rings hover around the stage, which can launch anything (such as fighters and items) that jumps or falls in.

At the end of a rotation when a platform returns back to the start, a jellyfish-like machine called Ideya Capture, can be seen on the lower section of a structure. By collecting 20 Blue Chips scattered around the stage (like Pac-Dots in Pac-Maze on SSB4's 3DS version) and approaching the machine, it will explode and allows the player to retrieve the Ideya for a random buff. After a certain amount of time is passed, the machine will recover with an another Ideya locked inside it.

Wizeman the Wicked (Boss)
The fight takes place in Bellbridge, as the player fight Wizeman the Wicked on a long floating platform close to the clock tower while he floats around after emerging from a dark portal in the starry sky on his intro, much like his boss fight in Journey of Dreams, complete with D'Force Master (Journey of Dreams) playing in the background.

Attacks
Wizeman the Wicked has multiple different attacks on his disposal during a boss fight:
 * Levitates around the stage/arena, trying to keep long distances away from the player.
 * Every time he uses one of his attacks, the entire environment/background will change such as space (meteors), a snowy mountain (snowballs), castle (fireballs), deep sea (water tornadoes), stormy sky (clones), etc. even though a platform stays.
 * Shooting small and fast fireballs. He can also concentrate his energy to fire a bigger one which does more damage.
 * Shooting a big blue energy orb from his hand's eyes, like in the Nightmare Zone DLC from Sonic Lost World.
 * Summoning meteors that will float up and down. He will either use them to protect himself or shoot towards the player.
 * Shooting big, slow snowballs which freezes the player, though they can grab and throw them back if they're fast enough.
 * Summons giant water tornadoes, which has a small gap between them where the player can stay in to dodge them.
 * Uses a invisible force-field which goes visible when the player tries to attack him with close-range attacks.
 * Everytime he gets hit by the player, Wizeman will teleport far away from them.
 * Creates clones of himself, multiplying his attacks to summon more projectiles for the player to dodge. They can be destroyed with the player's attacks.
 * Based on the cutscene in NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Wizeman charges up and then shoots a purple laser beam, which does massive damage when it directly hits the player. It is his most powerful attack in this boss fight.
