Big Blue (stage)

Big Blue is a race track of the F-Zero Grand Prix set on an ocean-covered planet appearing as an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and returning in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Melee, the stage is unlocked by playing 150 total Vs Matches. In Brawl, the stage is unlocked by playing 10 Vs Matches as Captain Falcon.

The stage is side-scrolling at a high-speed and the fight takes place on top of several F-Zero Racers, as well as Captain Falcon's personal spacecraft, the Falcon Flyer. Players can use the race cars as platforms, as well as several other platforms that appear frequently throughout the stage. Players who stand on the race track itself will be carried to the left and will be KO'ed if they don't jump off in time.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, a soundtrack based on Mach Rider's theme can be played as an alternate track. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the track was moved to the new Port Town Aero Dive stage, and is replaced with Melee's rendition of Mute City's theme.

Events

 * No 43: Birds of Prey (Melee)
 * Co-op No 12: Come Back, Falcon Flyer! (Brawl)
