'''Outside the Ancient Ruins''' ({{ja|エインシャント遺跡外部|Einshanto Iseki Gaibu}}, ''Ancient Ruins Outside'') is the twentieth stage of [[The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Overview==
The level opens with many [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] pecking at something, which a change in camera angle reveals to be a giant {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} in a dormant state. Further changes in view reveal hundreds of Pikmin attacking it. The R.O.B. activates and [[Arm Rotor|spins its torso]], sending all but a few Pikmin to their deaths upon contact with the ground. The camera cuts to show a terrified-looking {{SSBB|Olimar}} on the ground nearby, surrounded by about a dozen Pikmin. A lone red Pikmin taps Olimar on the leg to get his attention and points behind him.

Olimar turns to see the [[Blue Falcon]] racing down between ruined columns. Suddenly, the vehicle stops and its hatch pops open, sending its occupant flying forward. With a shout of "[[Falcon Punch]]!", the camera shows Captain Falcon performing the signature move of the same name. The punch lands between the R.O.B.'s eyes, knocking it over and defeating it. Captain Falcon's momentum sends him sliding along the ground, accidentally killing all of Olimar's Pikmin except the one at his side. The captains team up for the level at this point.

After a section of the stage, another cutscene shows the new duo arriving at a cliff overlooking the great ocean of the [[World of Trophies]]. They see a flying platform (the [[Smash Skiff]]), guarded by [[Primid]]s, that also holds the chained trophy of {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}. The camera cuts to show an [[Arwing]] flying after the platform, flown by {{SSBB|Falco}} but also containing a very cramped {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}. Falco performs a barrel roll, allowing Diddy to drop out of the Arwing. To keep himself aloft in the air, he fires up his [[Rocketbarrel Boost|Rocketbarrel Pack]]. He then fires his [[Peanut Popgun]]s at the Primids on the platform, sending them flying. Seeing this action, Captain Falcon smiles, grabs the once again terrified Olimar, and jumps off the cliff towards the platform.

Diddy Kong then lands on the platform, and immediately touches the base of Donkey Kong's trophy. The revived Kong breaks out of his chains. The captains land on the platform next to the ape buddies. More Primid are seen encroaching on the platform, at which point the four team up to drive them off. After this, the ape buddies are seen doing a victory dance with each other, where Falco flies off, giving a thumbs-up, and Diddy waves him goodbye. 

After defeating the [[Subspace Army]] enemies, the platform flies into a hangar on the Isle of the Ancients, and the level is clear. Donkey Kong, Olimar and Captain Falcon then join the player's team.

==Playable Characters==
Playable for the whole level:

==Trivia==
[[File:ROB statue SSE.png|thumb|300px|The decaying R.O.B. statue]]
[[File:GoldenRobStatue.png|thumb|300px|A partially built R.O.B. statue.]]
*There exist multiple golden R.O.B. statues strewn throughout the level, including an old decaying statue near the start of the level, and multiple partially built statues in the background of the bonus room.
**Oddly, despite being in a more prominent location, the decaying statue is much lower-poly, and uses lower quality textures.
*The turquoise [[cube]] in the level will only release the [[Hocotate Ship]] trophy.
*Captain Falcon's introduction bears a resemblance to the iconic [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujC7rxFVZ18 Falcon Punch scene] in the {{uv|F-Zero}} anime.
*The opening scene of this level may be in reference to ''{{iw|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'', where one is able to find and interact with the severed head of a R.O.B. as a {{iw|pikipedia|treasure}} called the {{iw|pikipedia|Remembered Old Buddy}}.
