Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Corneria''' ({{ja|惑星コーネリア|Wakusei Kōneria}}, ''Planet Corneria'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and is essentially a smaller version of {{SSB|Fox}}'s old stage, [[Sector Z]], which was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Corneria later appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[Melee stage]] and in {{for3ds}} as a [[familiar stage]]. In [[All-Star Mode]] in ''Melee'', this stage is where one fights Fox and any of his teammates. In ''Smash 3DS'' and ''Ultimate'', [[Falco]] is fought here when being unlocked. This stage returns once again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', although updated to resemble the stage's appearance in ''Star Fox Zero''.

[[Arwing]]s and [[Wolfen]]s fly down to fire lasers at players, usually coming from the right hand side or from up above. The lasers can damage players, but they will only make characters [[flinch]] very slightly and do no knockback, except in ''Smash 3DS'' where the shots explode on contact and can easily KO an unfortunate fighter. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past [[blast line]]s. The lasers fired by Arwings and Wolfens can be [[reflected]] or [[Absorption|absorbed]] by [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], and [[Mii Gunner]]. The Great Fox also has two laser cannons in the front. Players can stand on these laser cannons, but they will charge and fire on occasion. Characters caught in the crossfire usually have [[One-hit KO|no chance of survival]]. However, just like the Arwings and Wolfens, one can use energy-projectile absorption moves like [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Oil Panic]] to benefit from these shots. In all ''Smash'' games so far, the laser cannons can be destroyed, which also stopped them from being used as platforms.

The level is also apparently scrolling slightly, as items that should remain stationary in the air like Flippers and Party Balls will move slowly. Also, the Great Fox's wings will sometimes touch the sea under it, though [[swimming]] is impossible even in ''Brawl''.

The planet {{s|lylatwiki|Corneria}} first appeared in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' (''Starwing'' in the PAL region) and has appeared in numerous ''Star Fox'' titles since; however, this stage is based on its appearance as the first level of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' (''Lylat Wars'' in the PAL region), in  which Corneria City, the capitol of Corneria, is attacked by {{s|lylatwiki|Andross}}{{'}}s army. Unable to defeat the advancing army lead by Granga, {{s|lylatwiki|General Pepper}} of the Cornerian Army hires [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] to aid them. When Star Fox arrives, they fly through the ruined city to drive off the enemy forces and later fly outside the city to locate and defeat Granga. In this stage, the Great Fox flies the same route that Star Fox takes in ''Star Fox 64''; however, Corneria City is not damaged and is more densely populated. In ''Ultimate'', Corneria City bears resemblance to its appearance in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''.

While it was allowed as a counterpick stage in ''Melee'' in the past, Corneria is usually banned from standard tournament rulesets because of stage hazards such as the Arwings as well as issues with [[camping]], its very low ceiling (in ''Brawl''), and wall infinites such as {{SSBM|Fox}}'s shine infinite in ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s infinite [[chain throw]] in ''Brawl'', both done against the backside of the Great Fox's dorsal wing which functions as a wall. The Great Fox's laser fire also serves as an extremely powerful stage hazard.
