One minute into the match, the platform lands on the Halberd itself, in front of the Combo Cannon, a boss from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' that interferes by locking on to one player and shooting a blast of energy, by extending its arm to swipe at the players, and shooting powerful cannonballs, which is similar to how it attacked in the aforementioned original game<!--including the giant cannonball attack-->. The platform then rises above the ship and returns to the bridge later again. The platform never revisits the hangar. The process repeats until the match ends. | ||

This stage is from '' | This stage is from ''Kirby Super Star''. In the sub-game ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', Meta Knight attempts to take over Dream Land using an airship known as the Halberd. In order to stop Meta Knight, [[Kirby]] must infiltrate the airship and destroy it from the inside. The Halberd in ''Smash'' is loosely based on its appearance in ''Super Star'', though it has a more streamlined design, which would become the basis of its design in later ''Kirby'' games. | ||
At the beginning of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', a cutscene is shown that depicts the Halberd flying out of a hangar, similarly to the beginning of this stage. The cutscene also depicts the Halberd flying over the ocean at sunset, which serves as the basis for the stage's backdrop. | At the beginning of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', a cutscene is shown that depicts the Halberd flying out of a hangar, similarly to the beginning of this stage.

As its name implies, the Combo Cannon has two barrels: one that fires cannonballs, and another that fires lasers. It also has an arm that will try to grab Kirby. In this stage, the main platform lands in front of the Combo Cannon. The Combo Cannon has retained its ability to fire cannonballs and lasers, but the arm does not grab players as it did in ''Revenge of Meta Knight''; rather, it will extend and damage players. | ||

== | ==The Combo Cannon== | ||
'''{{ | The '''Combo Cannon''' is a weapon onboard the Halberd. It comes with a beam cannon, a cannon that shoots cannonballs, and a large mechanical arm. It's a boss in the ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' chapter of ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star Ultra}}'', the latter of which renamed the cannon "Main Cannon #2." | ||
The Combo Cannon is one of the main hazards of the Halberd stage in ''Brawl''. Unlike in the original game and its trophy description, the arm doesn't hold on to players, but instead collides with them, doing damage and knockback. In the [[Subspace Emissary]], the Combo Cannon can be seen fighting against {{SSBB|Fox}}'s [[Arwing]] twice, until it was eventually destroyed. The arm also held the [[Great Fox]] as the Halberd crashed it into the [[Glacial Peak]]. | |||

:''The main gun of the battleship Halberd. As the name references, it has two guns--the top one shoots out slow-moving shells, and the bottom one fires a powerful laser. There's a mechanical arm at the base that is used to grab enemies and hold them to be blasted by the laser cannon. It has a wide attack range and once shot down [[Dyna Blade]] after she aided [[Kirby]].'' | |||

The Halberd is being commandeered as the mother ship for the Subspace Army during the story. It also engages {{SSBB|Fox}} in an Arwing twice and the [[Great Fox]] once. In all these cases the Halberd was too much for its attackers. It is used to drop off [[Shadow Bug]]s. While under the control of the Subspace Army, it is piloted by a group of Shadow Bug duplicates of {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, which afterwards coalesce into [[Duon]]. Near the end of the story, Meta Knight regains control of the ship and picks up the other protagonists. The ship is later destroyed when it attempts a direct assault on the [[Subspace Gunship]]. Despite this, it still appears in [[The Great Maze]]. | |||

| | |||
It was later revealed in a post on the Smash Bros DOJO website that at some point prior to the start of the game, the Subspace Army stormed the Halberd and captured it. During the fight, Meta Knight was distracted by King Dedede, which allowed the Subspace Army to steal the ship. It is during this incident that King Dedede learns of Tabuu's true motivations. This is what prompts him to construct the Dedede Brooches later. According to the DOJO post, this was originally supposed to be shown in a cinematic, but the scene had to be cut due to time constraints. | |||

== | ==Glitch== | ||
There is a glitch on this stage that involves going "inside" the solid platform on the second portion of the stage (when the flying platform lands on the front of the ship). It is mainly a [[stalling]] technique, and it can be performed using [[Drill Rush]] or [[Aether]]. It is possible to jump back out, or get hit by an attack that knocks the staller up far enough. This technique is obviously heavily discouraged in competitive play, though the large difficulty of performing it and it being extremely situational makes it a pretty minor problem, along with the fact that it can only be done until the stage moves on from that portion. | |||
