The level opens with many [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] are seen 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. One of them, a red one, taps Olimar on the leg to get his attention and points behind him.

Further changes in view reveal many dozens of Pikmin assaulting it. The R.O.B. activates and [[Arm Rotor|spins its torso]], sending all but a few Pikmin onto the ground to their deaths. The camera cuts to show a terrified-looking Olimar on the ground nearby, surrounded by his remaining 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 {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} performing the signature move of the same name. The punch lands between the giant 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 single red 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]], that also holds the trophy of {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} in chains. 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 Primid 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.

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.

Outside the Ancient Ruins (エインシャント遺跡外部, Ancient Ruins Outside) is the twentieth stage of The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Overview[edit]

The level opens with many Pikmin attacking something, which a change in camera angle reveals to be a giant R.O.B. unit in a dormant state. Further changes in view reveal many dozens of Pikmin assaulting it. The R.O.B. activates and spins its torso, sending all but a few Pikmin onto the ground to their deaths. The camera cuts to show a terrified-looking Olimar on the ground nearby, surrounded by his remaining 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. Falcon's momentum sends him sliding along the ground, accidentally killing all of Olimar's Pikmin except the one at his side. The captains then form an alliance at this point.

After a section of the stage, another cutscene shows the captains arriving at a cliff overlooking the World of Trophies's ocean and spot the Smash Skiff. The camera then cuts to show an Arwing pursuing the platform, flown by Falco but also containing a very cramped Diddy Kong. Falco performs a barrel roll, allowing Diddy to drop out of the Arwing. To keep himself aloft in the air, he activates his Rocketbarrel Pack and then fires his Peanut Popguns at the Primids on the Smash Skiff, sending them careening off it. 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 rescues Donkey Kong as the captains land on the platform next to the Kongs. More Primids soon board the Smash Skiff, at which point the quartet team up to drive them off. After this, the Kongs are seen celebrating their victory and reunion, whereupon Falco flies off, giving a thumbs-up to Diddy as he waves him goodbye.

Afterwards, the Smash Skiff 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.
