'''Lylat Cruise''' ({{ja|ライラットクルーズ| | '''Lylat Cruise''' ({{ja|ライラットクルーズ|Rairattokurūzu}}, ''Lylat Cruise'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is situated on an original spacecraft called the ''Pleiades'' as it flies around various areas of the [[Lylat System]]. The original [[Great Fox]], [[Arwing]]s, and [[Wolfen]]s can be seen at various points in the stage. In ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', Wolf is fought here when being unlocked, while Falco is fought here in his unlocking battle in ''Brawl''. | ||

The stage itself has few hazards — the ship tilts to-and-fro as it makes turns and avoids shots from other ships, and the ledge is quite thin, so recovering characters may be caught under the ledge (as can happen in ''[[Melee]]'''s {{SSBM|Battlefield}}). The tilting can affect the way some items (such as [[Barrel]]s) move around the stage or how effective some attacks (such as [[Blaster]] and [[Green Missile]]) are due to the slope. | |||

Similar to the [[Corneria]] and [[Venom]] stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the ''Star Fox'' characters can perform a [[Star Fox Smash Taunt]] that allows them to contact their teammates. The conversation that ensues, as well as the characters involved, depends on who initiates the call and where the Pleiades is currently flying. The talk box is slightly updated in graphics compared to the ''Melee'' version. | Similar to the [[Corneria]] and [[Venom]] stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the game is more focused on showing all five backgrounds in the shortest amount of time as possible; backgrounds yet to appear in a match have a greater chance of appearing than the ones that already did. In addition, it's possible for the first background to be the Star Fox/Star Wolf dogfight or starry space, unlike in ''Brawl''. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the game is more focused on showing all five backgrounds in the shortest amount of time as possible; backgrounds yet to appear in a match have a greater chance of appearing than the ones that already did.

In the beginning of ''Star Fox: Assault'', remnants of [[Andross]]' army of Ape Soldiers, lead by Andrew Oikonny, attacked the Lylat System and a space battle between Andross' army and the Cornerian Defense Force began. In order to win, the Star Fox Team are called to help assist the Cornerian army. The first level of ''Star Fox: Assault'' takes place in this battle. One of the areas that Pleiades flies through in this stage is the battle between the Cornerian army and the remnants of Andross' army. The design of the ships seen in this stage are somewhat different from the ships seen in ''Star Fox: Assault'' and the ships still fire lasers as they did in ''Star Fox: Assault''. | |||

The Star Wolf team would try to stop Star Fox's plans to defeat Andross | In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' (''Lylat Wars''), the mercenary group Star Wolf made their first appearance. The Star Wolf team would try to stop Star Fox's plans to defeat Andross and the two teams would battle each other until either team retreats. Star Wolf also appear in ''Star Fox: Assault'' with the design of the Wolfen being different and a new member. The place that the two teams battle in ''Star Fox Assault'' is in the Sargasso Space Zone. In this stage, the ''Pleiades'' flies through a battle between the Star Fox team and the Star Wolf team. The design of the ships appear as they do in ''Star Fox 64'', but the area that they are battling looks similar to the Sargasso Space Zone. | ||

In the original ''Star Fox'' (''Starwing''), the player has to try to get through the level without getting hit by asteroids and not being killed by enemies. The player can also shoot the asteroids to destroy them. The asteroid field in ''Star Fox 64'' is called "Meteos". The goal of this level is the same as the asteroid belt in ''Star Fox''. The player can also shoot to destroy the asteroids like in ''Star Fox'', but now there are larger asteroids that can't be destroyed. In order to get around those asteroids, the player has to maneuver around them. In this stage, the Pleiades flies and maneuvers through an asteroid belt. There are also the larger asteroids seen in ''Star Fox 64''. An Arwing can also be seen, shooting the smaller asteroids and going around the larger asteroids. | ||
''Star Fox: Assault'' has a multiplayer mode where players can battle each other. One of the stages in the multiplayer mode takes place alongside the Great Fox above Corneria's clouds. In the Lylat Cruise stage, the Pleiades goes into Corneria's atmosphere. The area looks very similar to the multiplayer stage in ''Star Fox: Assault'', but the Great Fox is absent. | ''Star Fox: Assault'' has a multiplayer mode where players can battle each other.

In tournaments, this stage is almost always neutral, due to its fair layout and no stage hazards. However, it was banned in the Japanese ruleset since characters can get caught in the thin edges of the stage while recovering, and the tilting can significantly affect the viability of some recoveries, particularly short ones. That being said, however, the tilting of the stage is '''not''' random; the event occurring in the background dictates exactly how the stage will tilt.

Notably, the 2017 recommended ruleset for ''SSB4'' initially listed Lylat Cruise as a banned stage in tournaments. This decision was met with mixed reception; one notable example of opposition to this change is from {{Sm|ESAM}}, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg9cqpCvBlY who made a video] addressing his feelings on the subject.

* | *The stage's underside has been completely redesigned, losing its visual accuracy in exchange for allowing characters to recover up the sides without hitting a ceiling. A similar change was made to its Ω form. Despite this, the walls at the stage's edges are now smaller and therefore still somewhat glitchy, albeit to a lesser extent. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
''' | *Lylat Cruise is the first, and currently only, ''Star Fox'' stage in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series which does not take place on the Great Fox. | ||
**It is also the only location not based off of a specific location (rather, it is several locations). | |||
*Unlike the other ''Star Fox'' stages in the series, the Arwings and Wolfens do not shoot the players, making it the only ''Star Fox'' stage in the series to not have any damaging hazards. | |||
**Along these lines, it is also the first and currently only ''Star Fox'' stage in the series that is not [[banned stage|banned]] from tournament play. | |||
*In ''SSB4'', if this stage is played in an Angled Smash, the space warp will have an altered appearance. | |||
