Palutena's Temple is big enough to put every Ridley joke to shame. Combined.

Layout
Palutena's Temple is huge. There's no way around it, the size is simply unreal. Possibly even bigger than New Pork City, definitely bigger than Temple and Gaur Plain.
For ease of discussion, I'll break the layout into 4 sections: the Temple in the upper left, the Dungeon in the lower left, the Bridge in the middle, and the Exterior on the right.
The Temple's most obvious feature is the fountain where Player 1 spawns. The solid structure above it forms a cave of life, with a solid pillar atop that. The floating temple structure in the far upper left corner occasionally floats up and offscreen, killing players standing on it at the time, before descending again about 10 seconds later. The floor is solid except for a small passthrough section, which leads to the Dungeon.
The Dungeon is filled with solid structures. A spring on the bottom lets players access the level immediately above where a second spring bounces players high enough to land on the floating temple structure. The nearby spiked ball does 8% damage on contact. A small solid platform sticking out of the left wall occasionally retracts before emerging again. Stalactites attached to the underside do 4% damage and meteor smash players on contact.
To the right of the Temple and Dungeon is the Bridge. The bridge itself acts as a standard platform but is also destructible, with approximately 100 HP. It reforms about 15 seconds after being destroyed. A solid platform overhead moves left and right with spikes on the underside that do 10% damage, with an additional solid platform to the right, this one stationary. Underneath the bridge is a large empty space with three platforms moving clockwise in a vaguely circular pattern. A cloud moves back and forth across this gap as well, bridging the Dungeon and lower half of the Exterior.
The Exterior takes up the entire right side of the stage. The upper half is dominated by a circular stone platform that is solid from above but can be jumped through from below and moves up and down. When in the lower position, it fills a hole in the ground, while in the upper position it is accompanied by a trio of platforms that spawn while it is nearby. A ladder to the right leads to a cloud that is level with its upper position. Underneath are a smattering of earthen platforms and a tree whose boughs also provide standing room. A small section of spikes attached to the wall do 5% damage.
Players 1 and 2 start in the temple next to the fountain and beside the ladder in the exterior. Players 3 and 4 start on either side of the bridge. The Omega form floats over a void.
Other than the spikes noted above, Palutena's Temple has no damaging hazards. The only other dynamic stage features are the destructible bridge and assorted moving platforms.
Palutena's Temple in its oversized glory. Moving platforms and spiky things abound. Refer to the descriptions above for additional details. For extra credit, find Palutena. (She blends in surprisingly well when the camera is zoomed out like this.)

Summary
- Huge. Like wow, Ridley has nothing on this.
- Spiky things hurt, don't touch them. Damage ranges from 4-10% depending on which spiky thing you're touching.
- Floating temple in upper left moves offscreen.
- Assorted moving platforms all over the place.
