Orbital Gate Assault (オービタルゲート周域, Orbital Gate Area) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U based on Star Fox: Assault. It is partially set aboard the Great Fox, as with the previous Star Fox stages Sector Z, Corneria, and Venom. There are also sections set on top of missiles and on Arwings. It was confirmed as a stage on October 1, 2014, although a Pic of the Day teased it more than two months prior. Having every player hold what is usually the shield button upon choosing the stage will result in conversations taking place via various characters while the battle is going on.
Overview
The players start on top of the Great Fox with some Arwings flying over Unlike previous games, the Great Fox faces right instead of left. The ships jet blast can inflict damage as long as players are in contact with it.
An Aparoid missile shows up on screen and the Great Fox flies away forcing players onto the missile. An aparoid fighter will crash onto the missile damaging any player, but will release an item if they're turned on. Arwings can quickly fly off screen KOing anyone who remains on them. Like the Great Fox, the missile's jet blast damages players. The missile accelerates briefly until crashing into the Orbital Gate's force field. The shockwave can inflict damage and knockback but any KOs from it only counts as a self-destruct regardless of which is the last player to damage the opponent.
Three Arwings will destroy the missile briefly tossing anyone who stands on it in the air and everyones lands on the Arwings. The Arwings will fly through the gate and will barrel roll away dropping players on to the second missile.
Like the first missile, the second missile accelerates and hits the force field this time facing left.
The Arwings destroy the missile again forcing the players on top of them. The arwings will try to evade Mini-missiles and one of them will explode, damaging whoever was in the blast. The arwings will eventually drop players back on the Great Fox.
Origin
This stage is based on the eighth story mission in Star Fox: Assault. This mission sees the parasitic Aparoid race mount a direct attack on the Star Fox team's homeworld, Corneria, in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the deployment of an Aparoid-eradicating virus. In an Arwing-only battle within the planet's orbit, the team works with rival unit Star Wolf along with the Cornerian Defense Force to repel the Aparoid forces and destroy several missiles targeting the space station on which the virus is being developed.
Ω Form
The Omega form features a platform with the design of the orbital gate. It takes a different path than the normal version. The Great Fox and the fights between Cornerians and Aparoids are absent. Arwings can still be seen flying in the background, but they do not affect the play area.
Trophy Description
The site of a battle in Star Fox: Assault. After locating the enemy homeworld, the Star Fox team was standing by at the Orbital Gate to begin the final attack, but the Aparoids suddenly mounted an offensive of their own! In the Smash Bros. stage, you fight atop the Arwings and enemy missiles as they battle it out.

Trivia
- According to Sakurai, the stage took an entire year to develop. [1]
- This stage comes from Mission 8 in Star Fox Assault but includes new voice conversations for each character on the Star Fox team. What is odd about these conversations is the lack of the Star Wolf team, which was actually also present in helping protect the gate from incoming missiles. Not only is the Star Wolf team missing, but Krystal does not make an appearance either.
- This is the first Star Fox stage to lack any appearance of Wolfen.
