'''Midair Stadium''' ({{ja|空中スタジアム|Kūchū Sutajiamu}}, ''Midair Stadium'') is the first [[stage]] of [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is available as soon as a new file for Adventure Mode is created, and contains no orange boxes or other secrets, besides [[Petey Piranha]]'s boss trophy.  The Stadium is host to a large [[crowd]] of unknown identity.
Midair Stadium also appears in the [[How to Play video (SSBB)|How to Play video in ''Brawl'']], where it models a battle between {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Bowser}}, similar to the [[How to Play video (SSBM)|How to Play video in ''Melee'']]. The stage itself is retextured from the main platform of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], but is longer in length and lacks the 2 small platforms that stage has.
After clearing this stage the first time, it cannot be replayed until the mode is cleared, due to a [[Subspace Bomb]] being detonated in the area.
==Overview==
A cutscene opens the stage, zooming in from afar to Midair Stadium, which floats above the ground. A blue arena can be seen inside. The camera moves to show special guest spectators {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Peach}} looking on from the crowd. {{SSBB|Mario}}, in trophy form, is tossed into the arena as the crowd roars, and is transformed into its fighter form. The same happens with {{SSBB|Kirby}}. A versus screen appears with both Kirby and Mario's faces, and the player is allowed to select whom they shall fight as. In Co-op, Player 2 is a color change of whichever character Player 1 picks.

'''Midair Stadium''' is the first stage in ''[[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]'' for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is available as soon as a new file for Adventure Mode is created, and contains no orange boxes or other secrets, besides Petey's boss trophy. Midair Stadium cannot be replayed until Adventure Mode is clear because it is engulfed by Subspace before completion.

The player is then dropped onto a standard arena in a 1-stock match against the other fighter. After the opposing fighter is [[KO]]'d, the battle ends.


In the following cutscene, {{SSBB|Pit}} is shown viewing the battle from {{b|Skyworld|SSE}}. After this, Mario/Kirby wins the match and revives Kirby/Mario who was turned into a trophy.<ref>The character not selected is turned into a trophy</ref> After the revival, a shadow covers Midair Stadium. The [[Battleship Halberd]] descends through dark red clouds, dropping [[Shadow Bug]]s into the Stadium, which form [[Primid]]s. Zelda uses [[Farore's Wind]] to warp to Kirby and Mario, and Peach drops down using a parasol. The player is now allowed to select a character for the next segment between Mario, Kirby, Peach and Zelda.
Midair Stadium also appears in the [[How to Play]] video of Brawl, where it models a battle between Mario and Bowser, similar to the How to Play video of Melee.


Combat resumes on the same arena as before. The player must face a number of lesser Subspace foes, including Primids, [[Boom Primid]]s, [[Sword Primid]]s, and [[Spaak]]s.
==Walkthrough==


After all of the enemies are defeated, a new cutscene begins. In the cutscene, the [[Ancient Minister]] is introduced as he descends from the Halberd. He drops a [[Subspace Bomb]] onto the stadium, and two [[R.O.B.]]s activate the device. Mario dashes towards the device in an attempt to deactivate it, but is blown out of Midair Stadium by a cannonball. Kirby turns to watch, hears screaming, and turns back to see Peach and Zelda in cages held by [[Petey Piranha]]. Kirby approaches Petey as he roars.
{{spoiler}}


The player must now defeat Petey, the game's first boss. Petey has three attacks. He will either swing Zelda's cage, swing Peach's cage, or leap. All three attacks can be dodged by well-timed jumps. After Petey loses about 2/3 of his health, he will glow red and roar. This indicates a slight increase in the speed of Petey's attacks. To defeat Petey, the player must destroy either Peach's cage or Zelda's cage. Each cage has a separate health bar: attacks to a specific cage decrease its health only. Attacks to Petey himself will damage both cages. Petey dies when the player depletes one of the cage's health bars to zero.

The camera moves to show [[Peach]] and [[Zelda]] looking on from the crowd. [[Mario]], in trophy form, is tossed into the arena as the crowd roars, and is transformed into fighter form. The same happens with [[Kirby]]. A versus screen appears with both Kirby and Mario's faces, and the player is allowed to select who they shall fight as.


After Petey is defeated, he gets set on fire, and the cages holding the princesses break. Kirby and Zelda/Peach land safely only to watch {{SSBB|Wario}} appear with a [[Dark Cannon]]. Wario turns to see a weakened Peach/Zelda and aims the cannon at her<ref>The character whose cage the player did not destroy will be shot by Wario</ref>. A black arrow comes out of the cannon and pierces her body, turning her into a trophy.
The player is then dropped onto a standard arena in a 1-stock match against the other fighter. After the opposing fighter is KO'd, the battle ends.


Kirby and Zelda/Peach will attempt to chase after Wario in a bid to save their friend, but Kirby notices that the bomb is about to explode, and then makes his escape riding a [[Warp Star]] from Midair Stadium before it is consumed by Subspace, taking Zelda/Peach with him<ref>The character whose cage the player destroyed will be rescued by Kirby</ref>.
In the following cutscene, the winning character revives the loser. This means that there are two possible cutscenes to be seen; since you will not see cutscenes when replaying stages in The Subspace Emissary, you will need to create a new Adventure mode save file to see the other cutscene. After the revival, [[Pit]] is shown viewing the battle from Skyworld. After this, a shadow covers Midair Stadium. The [[Battleship Halberd]] descends through dark red clouds, dropping [[Shadow Bug]]s into the Stadium, which form [[Primid]]s. [[Zelda]] uses Farore's Wind to warp next to Kirby and Mario, and Peach drops down using a parasol. The player is now allowed to select a character for the next segment.


==Music==
Combat resumes on the same arena as before. The player must face a number of lesser Subspace foes, including [[Primid|Primids]], [[Boom Primid|Boom Primids]], [[Sword Primid|Sword Primids]], and [[Spaak|Spaaks]]. After all of the enemies are defeated, a new cutscene begins. In the cutscene, the [[Ancient Minister]] is introduced as he descends from the Halberd. He drops a [[Subspace Bomb]] onto the stadium, and two [[R.O.B.|R.O.Bs]] activate the device. Mario dashes towards the device in an attempt to deactivate it, but is blown out of Midair Stadium by a cannonball. Kirby turns to watch, hears screaming, and turns back to see Peach and Zelda in cages held by [[Petey Pirhana]]. Kirby approaches Petey as he roars.
*During the opening cutscene and the Kirby vs Mario battle, ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Menu (Super Smash Bros. Melee)}}'' plays.
*During the battle against Subspace Army enemies, ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Menu 1}}'' plays.
*During the battle against Petey Piranha, ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Mario Bros.|Airship Theme (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}'' plays.


==Playable Characters==
The player must now defeat Petey, the game's first boss. Petey has three attacks. He will either swing Zelda's cage, swing Peach's cage, or leap. All three attacks can be dodged by well-timed jumps. After Petey loses about 2/3 of his health, he will glow red and roar. This indicates a slight increase in the speed of Petey's attacks. To defeat Petey, the player must destroy either Peach's cage or Zelda's cage. Each cage has a separate health bar: attacks to a specific cage decrease its health only. Attacks to Petey himself will damage both cages. Petey dies when you deplete one of the cage's health bars to zero.
Playable in all three segments:
*{{SSBB|Kirby}} (Joins team after level)
Playable in opening battle and ambush:
*{{SSBB|Mario}}
Only playable in ambush:
*{{SSBB|Peach}} (Joins team after level if freed first)
*{{SSBB|Zelda}}/{{SSBB|Sheik}} (Joins team after level if freed first)


==List of Enemies==
After Petey is defeated, the character whose cage you destroyed will be rescued by Kirby. [[Wario]] will appear and use a [[Dark Cannon]] to capture the character whose cage was not destroyed. This is another moment where two cutscenes are possible; again, the player must play through another save file to view the cutscene that was missed.
*[[Primid]]
*[[Boom Primid]]
*[[Spaak]]
*[[Sword Primid]]


==Bosses==
Kirby will attempt to chase after Wario, barely notice the bomb about to explode, and escape from Midair Stadium before it is consumed by Subspace, taking the saved princess with him.
*{{SSBB|Kirby}} or {{SSBB|Mario}} (depending on who the player chooses to fight)
*[[Petey Piranha]]


==Notes==
The stage is clear after the cutscene.
{{reflist}}
 
==Trivia==
[[File:Mariotrophyeyemissing.png|thumb|Mario's right eye is missing as marked by the red circle of this photo.]]
*If the player defeats Petey Piranha in [[The Great Maze]], and then revisits the Midair Stadium, the player will find two platforms floating above the main stage in a similar nature to [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Oddly enough, these are never seen outside of the Great Maze.
*This is one of the only levels without [[door]]s, along with [[The Ruined Hall]], [[Battleship Halberd Bridge]], and [[The Canyon]].
*If the player chooses to play as Kirby in the Kirby vs. Mario match at the beginning of the Subspace Emissary, once the player defeats him, there will be an error in the cutscene which shows Mario turned into a trophy: While the left eye of Mario's trophy is present, the right eye is missing. In all other cutscenes which show Mario's trophy, though, the right eye is present.
*In an early trailer of the game, featuring various gameplay clips from both matches and the Subspace Emissary, Mario is shown fighting Petey Piranha as part of the SSE stage. This trailer is available to watch as a [[Movies|movie]] in the [[Data]] tab under the name Game Intro.
*During the [[Ambush]], the player can choose to play as {{SSBB|Sheik}} via [[Transform]], despite the cutscenes picturing Zelda instead.
*Despite the presence of a Subspace bomb, Petey Piranha has no time limit to defeat, unlike [[Meta Ridley]].
