Restriction Stages are a type of level introduced in the Version 5.7 Update. As their name suggests, these stages contain restrictions (also known as Battle Restrictions) which limit the Cat Units that can be used or reduce the Cat Deploy Limit. When viewing a Restriction Stage on the map, the word "Conditions" will appear under the level name and there will be a magenta "Conditions" button that can be tapped on to see the restrictions.
Cats that don't meet a stage's restriction can still be included in a player's lineup and activate Cat Combos, but their icons will have a red tint and trying to deploy them will cause the text "This unit cannot be deployed!" to appear on screen.
There are 5 different types of restrictions:
- Rarity Restrictions only allow Cats of certain rarities.
- Max # of Deployable Cats changes the Cat Deploy Limit.
- Cat Deploy Cost makes you unable to spawn Cats above or below a certain cost.
- Deploy from Row 1 only prevents spawning of any Cats in Row 2.
- Unit Restrictions either prevent spawning of specific Cats or only allow specific cats.

Trivia[]
- Black Hole, Dogsville Annex and the 4♛ versions of Merc Storia: Mystery's stages are currently the only stages to have two different restrictions.
- Prior to version 8.5, Legend Rare Cats were not usable on any stage with a Rarity Restriction.
- Babies First is the only Restriction Stage to allow Uber Rare Cats but not Legend Rare Cats.
- Even though the Iron Wall Cat normally counts toward the Cat Deploy Limit, it can still be used when the max number of units is reached in stages with the Max # of Deployable Cats restriction.
