'''Sector Z''' ({{ja|セクターZ|Sekutā Z}}, ''Sector Z'') is a default [[stage]] appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' based on the ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' level ''Sector Z''. It is called "Sector Z" because of the red nebula in the background which resembles the letter "Z". This stage did not return in any later game, but a near-identically-shaped albeit much smaller stage also taking place on the [[Great Fox]], [[Corneria]], appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and later as a returning stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

This stage did not return in any later game, but a similar stage atop the [[Great Fox]], [[Corneria]], appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and later in in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{for3ds}}.

The Great Fox is the only platform on this stage but it has three different terrain levels. The front two-thirds of the ship are the first terrain with the tip of the wing acting as a good vantage point for projectile throwing. The back third of the ship near the engines and the Arwing bay is another terrain with the left wall being a good place to rack damage on another player.

[[Arwing]] fighters will occasionally fire at the players, dealing large amounts of damage and knockback. Also, a character standing on a fighter may be KO'd if the fighter flies offscreen to the top or side; however, the Arwings do tend to barrel roll or fly upside down, which essentially pushes the character off. 2D sprites of Arwings can alse be seen in the background from a distance. Unlike the Arwing fighters or the Great Fox's appearance in Corneria, though, the main guns of the Great Fox cannot be stood on and do not fire.

==In competitive play==
The stage is banned throughout almost all rulesets due to the knockback of the lasers disrupting gameplay, and the excessive size of the stage allowing various types of [[camping]] and allowing characters to live up to unusually high percentages. The lower area of the stage also allows easy circle camping and wall combos.

This stage is based on the {{s|lylatwiki|Sector Z}} level from ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' (''Lylat Wars'' in the PAL region), in which Invader III ships attempted to ambush the {{s|lylatwiki|Great Fox}}, [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]]'s mobile headquarters, by firing six Copperhead Missiles at it; however, Star Fox was able to destroy the missiles and drive away the enemy forces. Sector Z also appears as a multiplayer stage in ''Star Fox 64''.
This stage is from the ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' level Sector Z.  As mentioned earlier, Sector Z is a level in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', the fifth level when taking the hard path. The level takes place in a nebula en route to [[Venom]] when the [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] and the Great Fox are ambushed by Andross' fighters that have missiles. These missiles also appear in the background of the stage. The player must protect the Great Fox in this level by destroying the enemy fighters and missiles. Sector Z was also a multiplayer level in ''Star Fox 64''. This area was probably chosen for the setting of this stage because it is the only stage where the Great Fox is prominently seen in its normal form and the Great Fox acts as a great platform.
 
In this stage, the Great Fox acts as the main platform of the stage, and space junk and Copperhead Missiles occasionally fly past in the background. Also in this stage are {{s|lylatwiki|Arwing}}s, Star Fox's signature aircraft, that occasionally fly above the stage and are based on their appearance in ''Star Fox 64''. They also appear to have one {{s|lylatwiki|Laser Upgrade}} as they fire two lasers at once as opposed to the standard one.

==Trivia==
Ever since the first ''Star Fox'', [[Arwings]] have been the Star Fox team's signature craft. The Arwings have been redesigned in ''Star Fox 64''. In this stage Arwings can be seen flying over the Great Fox. Their main attack is firing lasers. There is also an upgrade that lets the player shoot two lasers at once. The design of the Arwing are designed like they are in ''Star Fox 64'' and they shoot the upgraded lasers.
*Sector Z and [[Planet Zebes]] are the only ''Smash 64'' stages that do not return in any future game, having been functionally replaced by [[Corneria]] and [[Brinstar]] respectively. Because of this, {{SSBU|Fox}} is paired with {{SSBU|Kirby}} during {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} route in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
