The fight takes place in an underground lair with magma deep below Brinstar. This stage is unique due to it being a giant irregular stone (with one continuous "floor") with two floating smaller companion stones at the top and bottom of the stage (though the terms "top" and "bottom" are loosely applied). The lava at the bottom of the screen is merely graphical (unlike [[Brinstar]]'s acid) and functions only as a [[blast line]]. Often [[Kraid]], the giant alien monster in the background, will rotate the stage in either direction, moving the whole rock for only a few seconds at a time. However, no limit is set regarding to what extent it may be rotated in total, meaning it can flip upside down. Even if Kraid rotates the stage to how it began, its position is unlikely to be precisely the same, due to the fact that the rotations are slightly randomised in duration. Also of note is that in ''Melee'', [[ledge]]s are completely absent, though [[wall-grapple]]s remain effectual.  However, in ''Ultimate'', ledges do exist at various points along the continuous floor.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set on a flat version of the normal form's main platform that is also the same size and shape as {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s' designs are the same as the walkway of the main platform. Kraid is absent. The stage also does not rotate.

 

As with some other Ω forms, the stage select preview of the Ω form of this stage is an early version of the stage, and the final version differs slightly in design. Notably, there are no such discrepancies on Ω Brinstar, which suggests that the changes were made so that the 2 Ω forms would not have completely identical main platforms.

{{s|metroidwiki|Kraid}} first appeared in ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid|game}}'' as a boss and as the boss for {{s|metroidwiki|Brinstar}} in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. However, his appearance in ''Super Metroid'' was dramatically changed and remained as such in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Zero Mission}}''. Kraid's appearance in this stage is based on his character design in ''Super Metroid''. The stage itself, however, bears no resemblance to his lair in either game. The name of the stage is a reference to the proximity of Kraid's lair being deep below Brinstar in ''Metroid''.

*In ''Ultimate'', Brinstar Depths and [[Brinstar]] share the same main platform and soft platforms for their [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]], but with some very minor differences.

*For unknown reasons, both [[Super Mushroom|Super]] and [[Poison Mushroom]]s never appear on this stage in ''Ultimate''.

*This is the only ''Metroid'' stage in ''Ultimate'' not to have any unlockable characters fought on it.

*The following [[Assist Trophies]] cannot appear on this stage: the [[Moon]], [[Nikki]] (due to the dark background obscuring her drawings), and [[Squid Sisters]].

**[[Poké Ball]] summons that can only appear on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage are [[Alolan Exeggutor]], [[Lunala]] and [[Marshadow]].
