Halberd

Halberd is one of the stages that appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is from the Kirby series, and is based on Meta Knight's ship, the Halberd. It is first appeared in Kirby SuperStar for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, in the mini-game called Revenge of Meta-Knight.

The stage at first takes place on a platform, that is similar in design to the Battlefield stage. However, after a while, it lands on the Halberd itself. The stage continues to be a Battlefield-stage, however, the background has an added gimmick. A double-barreled battery is in the background, which also has an extended robot arm on its side. It will occasionally shoot ray beams, missiles, and even attack with its hand. This causes severe problems for the fighters. Players must use strategy to make the weapons hit their opponents. The Battleship Halberd is named after the creator of the Kirby series and Super Smash Bros. series, HAL Labs.

Subspace Emissary
In the game's Adventure Mode, it is somehow taken from Meta Knight. Throughout the game, the Ancient Minister (actually R.O.B.) and various Mr. Game & Watch drive the Battleship around the Smash Bros. World. The characters follow the Halberd around the world trying to stop the Ancient Minister from destroying it all. In the begining, after Kirby and Princess Peach or Princess Zelda (depending on which princess Kirby saved) hop on the Warp Star and leave the stadium before it blows up and soon they see the Halberd flying across the sky. They are forced to land on it, but soon, Fox in his Arwing fly by the Halberd. The Halberd starts shooting the Arwing however the Arwing dodges all the shots fired at it. However, soon, the Halberd manages to attack the Arwing and the Arwing flies down knocking Peach and Kirby off the Halberd while the Arwing continues downward and crashes on Donkey Kong Island.

Later, Falco, Fox and Diddy Kong ride a top the Great Fox and attempt to battle the Halberd with it however the Halberd attacks the Great Fox and crashes it into an ice mountain. Fox, Falco and Diddy are presumed to escape by riding the Arwings as shown later. After that, Lucario and Meta Knight climb aboard the Halberd (however, Ice Climbers try to but end up falling off the mountain) and they go inside.Solid Snake somehow found his way aboard the Halberd and he is hiding inside his box. However, after he thinks its safe to come out, he takes off the box and meets up with Lucario and Meta Knight. They all fight Primids and later they see the Peach and Zelda trophies trapped in cages that look the same as Petey Piranha's. Shadow Bugs come in and create clones of the princesses that the three guys fight. After the evil clones are defeated, Peach and Zelda are freed. Lucario and Meta Knight then advance to the top of the Halberd. Snake stays to tell Peach and Zelda something. Snake then leaves and Peach and Zelda think for a while.

Zelda turns into Sheik and the two advance to the top of the Halberd. They do not see Snake but Fox in his Arwing trying to rematch the Halberd. However, as the Arwing fires shots at the Halberd and almost hits Peach, Sheik thinks Fox is the enemy and jumps on the Arwing. She punches the Arwing, and the Arwing spins out of control. Fox and Sheik jump out of the Arwing, land in the Halberd and try to hurt each other. Peach stops them and tells them to drink some tea. Fox is confused and surprised but he decides to drink the tea. Meanwhile, Snake, Lucario and Meta Knight reach the Control Room filled with Mr. Game & Watch people. Snake runs in and kicks them all out of a window. Snake jumps out of the window with them, landing next to Peach, Sheik and Fox. The Game & Watches turn into Shadow Bugs which create another boss enemy. Falco in his Arwing, flies in and jumps off the Arwing. They all fight the boss and defeat them to see a Game & Watch trophy. Fox attempts to shoot it but Peach plays with it.

Meta Knight has taken control of the Halberd and, a long with Captain Falcon's ship, goes over to the desert, where they pick up all the characters in the game except for the villains, Ness, Luigi and King Dedede. They all hop in the Halberd and take off t the sky where they try shooting down Bowser and Ganondorf's ship but fail. However, Bowser and Ganondorf destroy the Halberd completly and blow it up to bits. Somehow, everyone inside the Halberd survive and end up in one of the other four ships (Samus's ship, Fox's Arwing, Falcon's ship and Captain Olimar's ship and later Kirby's Dragoon). All the spacecrafts fight Ganondorf and Bowser and defeat them.

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
''Meta Knight's battleship, built to help Meta Knight take control of Dream Land. It's crewed by Meta Knight and the Meta-Knights and is equipped with the Combo Cannon and a shrimplike robot called the Heavy Lobster. Kirby destroys the ship's reactor, causing the Wheelies who power the ship to flee. In the end, the ship crashes into the sea while the sun sets in the background.''
