Layout
Onett is a walk-off stage with no lower. The stage consists of the Drug Store in the middle which features two awnings that function as. To the right is a blue house with a festoon over it, which acts as a soft platform, and to the left is a yellow house, which has tree branches over it which act as soft platforms.

Stepping on the awnings enough times makes the Drug Store sign tilt, and stepping on it more will make the sign fall off and awnings drop, making the awnings unusable, however after a little while they will respawn back to their original state.

Occasionally cars will pass by from the right of the stage a warning sign signifying that their about to pass. They all deal 30% damage to a player. They are:


 * A blue coupe: Launches players forwards and slightly upwards. In Melee it used the "whistle" horn.


 * A taxi cab: Launches players straight forwards. In Melee it used the "whistle" horn.


 * A pink coupe: Launches players straight backwards. In Melee it used the "two beep" horn.


 * The Runaway Five bus: Has a effect. Launches grounded players straight upwards, capable of KOing at 90%. Launches airborne players downwards. In Melee it used the "one beep" horn.

Starting with Brawl they have low set knockback and have lost their unique horns.

When stage hazards are turned off in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, The awnings will not drop along with the Drug Store canopy. The cars also do not drive by and hit the fighters.

EarthBound references
Various elements from Onett in EarthBound appear on this stage. In the background Ness and his neighbor Porky's house on the hills can be seen. At the top of the mountain is the meteor that landed during the start of the game, although it sticks out of the ground more than it originally did. To the right is is a sign that reads;
 * "CAUTION A black van driven by this guy has been spotted racing recklessly through town. Be careful!"

The man in the sign is one of the Runaway Five band members Lucky. Past the sign is the arcade where Ness takes on the Sharks and their leader Frank Fly. In front of the stage is a bicycle and also a stand similar to the ones in Twoson's Burglin Park, and baseball field. In the background is a digger similar to the one in Dusty Dunes Desert. Other minor elements in the background include a hotel and a hospital.

The Runaway Five bus is one of the hazards on this stage, and the taxi cab could be referencing the Mad Taxi enemy.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the takes place on the roof of a taller and wider version of the drug store. On the roof is a trash can that could be referencing when Ninten meets Lloyd in EarthBound Beginnings, where Lloyd is hiding inside a trash can on the roof of the Twinkle Elementary School.

Trivia
