History Main / TrainingStage

* The 2019 UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/{{Hellsinker}}'' for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} features a "Training Chamber" where you can get to grips with the game's unusually complex mechanics.
* The UsefulNotes/Atari2600 version of ''VideoGame/{{Spacewar}}'' had the UrExample in Game 14, which, while a MiniGame in its own right, the manual makes clear it exists so the player can practice maneuvering by braking the ship on the free-floating space module.

** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', the Danger Room from ''Franchise/XMen'' returns to serve this purpose, as it did in the original comics. In the ''Ultimate'' version of the latter, it even comes in two variants: Training Room (based on its ''[=MvC2=]'' appearance) and Danger Room (based on its ''[=CotA=]'' appearance).

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' franchise:

* ''[[VideoGame/{{SORA}} Acceleration of Suguri 2]]'' has "Before the War", which could count as this, since it consists of a grid-based background with TronLines. Bonus points for being based on the tutorial stage from ''VideoGame/{{SORA}}''.

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'' franchise:

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' has a simplistic shooting range taking place in a monochrome sepia VR space, consisting of humanoid and flying targets, with concentric rings around Snake to help determine the distance to the target. This particular game's iteration of ''VideoGame/MetalGearOnline'' had a similar feature where players could explore the multiplayer maps at their leisure, featuring the same targets from the single player shooting range. There's additionally holographic human targets to test damage or practice CQC on. In both cases, a feed on the bottom right of the screen shows how far each damage event was and how much damage was inflicted.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', the Pokémon League interior battle court has this appearance, set in an enclosed room with perfectly flat and rectangular floor, walls, and ceiling lined with square transparent glass tiles and a light turquoise glow from behind them, giving the appearance of a grid. Notably, it is the battle court for [=PvP=] with the plainest appearance by far and is the least processor-intensive background for it. The grid isn't necessary with the Pokémon series's TurnBasedGameplay though, nor is there any evidence of the battle court used for testing out Pokémon and their moves, but it does fit the look.

** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' has a more fleshed out training room called "The Void". Taking place in an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield surrounded by four large invisible walls, the player has access to a settings menu that's fairly similar to the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' games - players can change the training dummy and/or how they act, toggle on damage and input displays, and toggle infinite use of the player character's various ManaMeter-based and ammo-based moves.

** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' has an [[NotTheIntendedUse unintentional]] example with the Bloody Palace. It's ''supposed'' to be a Survival Mode, but as the arena is just the right shape and design, it's often hacked to not advance and used to either practice or show off.

** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', the Danger Room from ''Franchise/XMen'' returns to serve this purpose, as it did in the original comics. In the ''Ultimate'' version of the latter, it even comes in two variants: Training Room (based on its ''[=MvC2=]'' appearance) and Danger Room (basex on its ''[=CotA=]'' appearance).

** ''VideoGame/SmashRemix'', a GameMod of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'', has [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Mushroom Kingdom]]'s "Dream Land" and "Omega" variants serve this purpose; not only does it have identical dimensions and collisions to the most commonly used stage in competitive play (([[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Dream Land]]), but [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/577655757726810114/949094133794996244/IMG_0376.png the distance between the edges of bricks in the floor pattern is the same as the distance lines in the Home-Run Contest mini-game]], as well as two blocks in the stage builder grid in ''For Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' (and, in the case of the platforms, one block).

* ''VideoGame/SoulCaliburV'' has the Character Creation Stage to test out how a custom character looks in motion. It's only available in Creation Mode, though, and the opponent is always a DeliberatelyMonochrome Edge Master.

* ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' is similar to ''Street Fighter IV'' training stage but also features a height gauge due to the nature of aerial combat in the game.

** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', the Danger Room from ''Franchise/XMen'' serves this purpose, as it did in the original comics.

** 'VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' has the aptly-named "Training Stage", complete with an announcer voice clip. It's a featureless white room with black grid lines. Red lines flanked by gray boxes are seen running down the center of each wall, making it easy to find where the middle of the stage is. The stage is automatically selected for the combo trials mode, with the "sandbag" being none other than [[JokeCharacter Dan Hibiki]]. The stage was pretty notorious for being [[AbridgedArenaArray almost exclusively the only stage most high-level players played on]], since the grid lines helped with spacing and footsies.

* The UsefulNotes/Atari2600 version of ''VideoGame/{{Spacewar}}'' had the UrExample in Game 14, where the player's ship is alone, and which according to the manual only exists so the player can practice moving.
