'''Brinstar''' ({{ja|ブリンスタ|Burinsuta}}, ''Brinstar'') is the default ''Metroid'' stage that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{for3ds}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is essentially a redesign of [[Planet Zebes]] from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. | |||

The stage consists of a main, rocky platform, two [[soft platform]]s on the side and a hovering metallic soft platform in the center. The main platform can be passed through from below, and it actually consists of two parts held together by a fleshy blob on the right side: said blob can be weakened by attacks, and when destroyed the main platform gets separated. The same can happen to the fleshy poles which keep the main platform and the side ones together: when they are destroyed, the platforms that were being supported tilt at a very sharp angle. | |||

The acid deals damage and heavy knockback on touch, though while it is rising it will prevent characters from being [[KO]]'d on the bottom [[blast line]]. It will rise and pause at various intervals, rarely reaching its highest point where it will cover everything except the topmost platform (and the tops of the side platforms if their supports are broken). After a while, the acid subsides. | ||

A large part of ''Metroid'''s gameplay is exploration, which often involves destroying blocks with [[metroidwiki:Morph Ball Bomb|Morph Ball bomb]]s to reveal secret passages: in particular, some blocks have a fleshy appearance similar to the one of the middle section of the stage. | ||

In ''Super Metroid'', {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo Statue}}s act as pedestals carrying items in their hands. Some of them are able to walk, carrying Samus with them and enabling her to reach hidden areas, while others, called {{s|metroidwiki|Torizo}}s, are hostile and act as mini-bosses. In this stage, a Torizo is seen in the background and will occasionally walk around. | |||

==Tournament legality== | ==Tournament legality== | ||
This stage used to be a counterpick stage because many did not see the acid as a major problem, and instead focused on its strange, but relatively non-obtrusive stage design. However, it was later banned in ''Melee'' and deemed more of a banned stage than a counterpick stage in ''Brawl'', not making the stage list in major tournaments such as [[Apex 2012]] despite the Unity Ruleset proclaiming it as a counterpick. This stage is still banned because many players agree that it gives monopolizing advantages to certain groups of characters. The acid reduces the stage to a very small size, forcing characters to stay in the air and giving unfair advantages to characters with good aerial games. Characters with good [[meteor smash]]es or [[spike]]s such as {{SSBM|Falco}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} also dominate as they can repeatedly rack up damage by thrusting unfortunate opponents into the acid, which knocks them back up to repeat the process. Additionally, {{SSBM|Peach}}'s [[float]] ability and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[rising Pound]] allow them to completely nullify the threat of being burned by the acid. | |||
