'''Planet Zebes''' ({{ja|惑星ゼーベス|Wakusei Zēbesu}}, ''Planet Zebes'') serves as the lone {{uv|Metroid}} installment stage for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Its environment rapidly changes due to the rising and falling acid.

This is {{SSB|Samus}}' stage. It is also considered {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s stage, as he is fought here to be [[unlockable character|unlocked]].

Planet Zebes consists of a rough, jagged base, three main platforms (one of which is sloped at an angle), and a smaller platform ascending and descending to the far right of the stage. Hazardous acid surges below, periodically submerging most of the base and two of the three main platforms, though never rising high enough to reach the topmost platform.

According to the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' website, Planet Zebes occupies "an extremely unstable space station." Although not drawing homage to any particular game, this stage is based on {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}}, the planet on which ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid|game}}'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'' are set. A clear reference is the yellow acid featured in some rooms in ''Metroid''. The rising and falling acid is a reference to ''Super Metroid'', wherein the lava in some Norfair and Tourian rooms would rise after earthquakes. The stage's platforms, composed of green bubbles with red highlights, are a direct reference to the aesthetics of Norfair in both games.

==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
The stage is commonly [[Banned stage|banned]] in N64 Backroom [[tournament]]s, largely due to the acid's interference with [[gameplay]]; [[star KO]]ing at unexpected moments, covering up parts of the stage, and forcing opponents to avoid the acid causes the fighting space on the stage to become extremely small. Additionally, the sometimes awkward camera can make gameplay unnecessarily difficult. However, the stage is occasionally allowed in non-official tournaments for its large size, making it an ideal choice for aerial [[combo]]s and a counterpick to [[Peach's Castle]].
