In ''Ultimate'', it is renamed to distinguish it from the [[Mute City (SSBM)|similarly named ''Melee'' stage]], despite the fact that it is not in the game.

The stage consists of a racer below acting as a platform, flanked by two floating platforms at slightly different elevations swaying to and fro above it. The racer perpetually drives laps of the original Mute City track, occasionally getting sideswiped by other racers, which act as additional platforms. When two racers are onscreen, one will eventually be driven off the track and therefore off past the [[blast line]], as indicated by the word "CHECK" pointing to the racer about to be shoved off. If a racer drives over the track boundaries, any player standing on it will suffer moderate damage and knockback. In addition, the main racer will occasionally drive over a ramp and be popped into the air, during which its sides and bottom will become powerful active [[hitbox]]es until it lands back on the track. Also, the racer will occasionally race through the pit stop at the start of laps, indicated by a beam of light repairing the vehicle. The device emitting the beam is solid, acting as a ceiling and wall.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] is similar to the Ω form in ''SSB4''; however, it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s are based on the two soft platforms of the normal form. The characters are still flat, which also flattens the hitboxes and alters gameplay significantly as a result. 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.

This stage is based on the track Mute City 1 from ''{{s|fzerowiki|F-Zero}}'', and is graphically taken straight from the game in its original 2D appearance. The {{s|fzerowiki|Blue Falcon}}, along with other F-Zero {{s|fzerowiki|machine}}s appear on this stage and are also directly based on their 2D sprites from ''F-Zero''. ''F-Zero'' was one of the 2 launch titles for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan and, alongside US launch title {{uv|Pilotwings}}, was intended to show off a graphical effect known as {{iw|wikipedia|Mode 7}}, which allowed background layers to be rotated and stretched in a variety of ways akin to Sega's "Super Scaler" used in titles such as ''Out Run'' and ''After Burner'', with the most well known use of the effect being to flatten out backgrounds to be used as faux-3D floors, an effect also replicated by the [[Pilotwings]] stage, and especially common among racing games and vehicle levels on the system.

 

Additionally, the platform used in the Ω version in ''for 3DS'' is based on the {{s|fzerowiki|Official Recorder}} from the ''F-Zero'' series, which refills the player's energy in pits and, in the original ''F-Zero'', resets them if they stray too far from the intended route. In the Battlefield and Ω versions in ''Ultimate'', the main platform uses an original design resembling the Official Recorder.

This stage is banned from all tournaments barring the [[Gentleman's Clause]] because of many reasons. There is no bottom blast zone which is usually an automatic ban, inconsistent platforms in the racecars that can carry fighters to their doom, and the track itself deals moderate damage and [[knockback]] if touched. The Battlefield and Ω forms are also banned due to the character's flat hitboxes.

|image=MuteCityTrophy3DS.png

|desc-ntsc=F-Zero is an interstellar race spread over nine different planets. The Blue Falcon sprints through Mute City, the first circuit in the Knight League. Fighters must do battle as they move between the various racing machines, being careful not to get knocked off and left behind in this high-speed stage.

|desc-pal=A metropolis in the heart of the Space Federation, where all the racing leagues begin in the original F-Zero game. In this tricky stage, you fight on top of the Blue Falcon as it thunders along the track, switching to different vehicles suddenly as the race rages on. Whatever you do, don't fall onto the track. That's sure to hurt!
