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 based on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and is the home stage of Toon Link.

The stage takes place mainly on Tetra's Ship from The Wind Waker, as it sails across the Great Sea. If a player falls into the water, they temporarily swim, though touching the front hull of the ship acts as a meteor smash. At certain points, the ship will sail by a sea platform, which fire bombs at the boat that damage any nearby opponents. The King of Red Lions will also appear as an additional platform from the right side of the stage for a short time. At certain points the weather will change from sunny to stormy, and a whirlwind appears which catches the ship and throws it above clouds for a short time before it falls back into the sea, also temporarily decreasing gravity. 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.

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 a downloadable stage 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, while the Pirate Ship itself can be seen sailing in the background. The normal version of the stage is unavailable in 8-Player Smash, while the Omega form allows a maximum of eight players.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the unlock match for Toon Link takes place here.
