The raised and lowered sections of floors featured in the "Tekken 4" levels were removed for the fifth installment. This change made gameplay throughout each stage generally similar, aside from wall placements. In addition to removing the uneven nature of the "Tekken 4" styled stages, the design team returned to the style of stages from previous games by having some stages without barriers by allowing them to be infinitely scrolling. For walled stages, the fights take place in fairly symmetrical boxes without any uneven walls (again, removing a feature introduced in "Tekken 4"). Floors could also crack after one of the characters hit it hard enough. Only one part of a stage can be cracked at a time, however.
