Pirate Ship (stage)

Pirate Ship is an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It is from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and is the home stage of Toon Link. The Great Sea is done in a cel-shaded style, made to copy the style used in The Wind Waker. It takes place mainly on Tetra's Ship, a small boat from The Wind Waker, with sea platforms occasionally appearing. These sea platforms will fire bombs at the boat, damaging players who get hit. The King of Red Lions will also appear as an additional platform. The background features different weather, sunny, rainy and stormy, as well as whirlwinds which can catch the ship and take it above clouds for a short time. The ship may also run aground a rocky island, which can be used as a platform. If a player stands on the ship's catapult, they may be thrown away by it. Touching the ship's front hull results in an instant KO.

This stage has a very minor role in the Subspace Emissary. After defeating Tabuu, the player can go back to The Forest stage. There, towards the beginning of the stage, is a newly placed floating red door. Upon entering it, the player will be taken to the Pirate Ship, to battle Toon Link. If defeated, he will become playable. If the player is defeated, they will be taken back to the Emissary map.

The Pirate Ship stage returns as DLC in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, for the price of US$1.49. The Omega version of the stage takes place on top of one of the sea platforms. The Pirate Ship itself can be seen sailing in the background.

Trivia

 * Not counting Big Battlefield, this stage along with Super Mario Maker are the first and so far only stages in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U to reuse songs from other stages in the game.
