'''Final Destination''' ({{ja|終点|Shūten}}, ''Endpoint'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In ''Brawl'', Final Destination flies through exquisitely detailed backgrounds such as a galaxy, a wormhole, a starry sky, and finally, a "lovely ocean view", among many in-between scenarios, similar to the one at the end of [[Subspace Emissary]]. Unlike in ''Melee'', this stage is a starter in ''Brawl''. {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} is fought here when being unlocked.


'''Final Destination''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is a [[Special Stage]]. It has the feel of its ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' counterpart (also called [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]]), except that this time, the stage is slightly larger, though this difference is hardly noticed. It is a perfectly flat stage with no environmental hazards or background dangers (e.g. the combo cannon on [[Battleship Halberd]]). It functions exactly like the ''Melee'' version, but has updated graphics and a boxier bottom side. In ''Brawl'', Final Destination will fly through exquisitely detailed backgrounds such as a galaxy, a wormhole, a starry sky, and finally, a "lovely ocean view", among many in-between scenarios. It is possible to get caught under the ledge and be unable to recover, though it now is possible for characters with superb recoveries (i.e. [[Kirby]], [[Pit]]) to fly under it from one end to the other.
==Stage overview==
As in ''Melee'', Final Destination is presented as a simple, flat stage with no environmental hazards or background dangers. Compared to the ''Melee'' rendition of the stage, the bottom side is more box shaped, the stage is somewhat smaller, and perhaps most notably the ceiling is somewhat lower. Also, rather than a wide platform, its layout looks more like a walkway. Because the stage is for the most part just like it was in ''Melee'', many of the same combat tactics are employed, with grounded and projectile combat being given an edge on the stage. Characters without projectiles are often forced to go on the offensive against those with projectiles to negate the range advantage that said projectiles give. It is possible to [[stage jump]] from either ledge with some characters.


Fighting on Final Destination is often quite straightforward, as there are no platforms or hazards on the stage. Projectile combat is often employed because it is always a straight shot at your opponent. Characters without projectiles are often forced to go on the offensive against those with projectile to negate the range advantage that said projectiles give.
The stage starts with a milky way with a blue planet (resembling Uranus or Neptune) and multiple other milky ways, while meteors fly past the stage. After fading into a wormhole, the stage heads to a starry sky with clouds on both the top and bottom before entering another wormhole. The stage then fades into a ocean where the sun is setting (very similar to Brawl's opening and the Subspace ending), with the background slowly rotating and speeding up before getting overshadowed. The stage then fades to black, looping the cycle.


Given that the stage is, from a fighting perspective, the same as the one in Melee, the [[Special Stages:  Final Destination#Controversy in Competitive Play|controversy]] that surrounded the old Final Destination will apply to this one. Like its Melee counterpart, its neutrality is disputed. For example, many players complain about [[R.O.B.]]s taking advantage of the flatness of this stage by [[camping]], especially against slower moving characters with limited range or no projectiles, such as [[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]], [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]], and [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]]. While it's yet to be considered a counter-pick stage by the back room and such, many complain it is overused, overrated, and hardly neutral for these apparent reasons. Due to this, Final Destination and its neutrality has become heavily controversial.

The length of Final Destination is often used as a unit of measurement when describing attacks and/or techniques.

===Advantages===
==Tournament legality==
*No stage hazards or unusual features.
Final Destination, due to its simple design and lack of disruptive features, has always been considered to be one of the fairest stages, and is usually a starter stage.
*Large, but not too large, fighting area.
*No hiding places to wait out battles.


===Disadvantages===
Final Destination's flat layout favors characters with projectiles such as {{SSBB|Falco}} and {{SSBB|Pit}}, since the opponent does not have any platforms they can use to jump on. The stage's large size makes KOing more difficult than on smaller stages such as [[Smashville]], especially vertically. The large size also allows {{SSBB|King Dedede}} to [[chain grab|chain]] throw opponents more than he can on smaller stages. The stage lips are notorious for causing some characters' recoveries to be "caught" in them, which can cause them to miss the ledge sweetspot. The stage lips also allow [[stage spike]]s, such as {{mvsub|Donkey Kong|SSBB|forward throw|poss=y}}, that send the opponent vertically downward if they don't [[tech]].
*Boxier Bottom under edges that can cause deaths or SD's.
*Favors fast characters and characters with projectiles heavily over slow characters and characters without projectiles.
*You'll have a hard time escaping from opponents.

*This is also the only non-''Melee'' stage to have only one starting track in [[My Music]].
*While all other [[unlockable character]]s' fights (when unlocking) take place on a stage from their respective [[universe]] (if [[Mario Bros.]] is considered  {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s home stage), if [[The Subspace Emissary]] method is not used, {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s takes place on this stage when unlocking him, with ''{{SSBBMusicLink|The Legend of Zelda|Hidden Mountain & Forest}}'' playing.

Final Destination (終点, Endpoint) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Brawl, Final Destination flies through exquisitely detailed backgrounds such as a galaxy, a wormhole, a starry sky, and finally, a "lovely ocean view", among many in-between scenarios, similar to the one at the end of Subspace Emissary. Unlike in Melee, this stage is a starter in Brawl. Ganondorf is fought here when being unlocked.

Stage overview[edit]

As in Melee, Final Destination is presented as a simple, flat stage with no environmental hazards or background dangers. Compared to the Melee rendition of the stage, the bottom side is more box shaped, the stage is somewhat smaller, and perhaps most notably the ceiling is somewhat lower. Also, rather than a wide platform, its layout looks more like a walkway. Because the stage is for the most part just like it was in Melee, many of the same combat tactics are employed, with grounded and projectile combat being given an edge on the stage. Characters without projectiles are often forced to go on the offensive against those with projectiles to negate the range advantage that said projectiles give. It is possible to stage jump from either ledge with some characters.

The stage starts with a milky way with a blue planet (resembling Uranus or Neptune) and multiple other milky ways, while meteors fly past the stage. After fading into a wormhole, the stage heads to a starry sky with clouds on both the top and bottom before entering another wormhole. The stage then fades into a ocean where the sun is setting (very similar to Brawl's opening and the Subspace ending), with the background slowly rotating and speeding up before getting overshadowed. The stage then fades to black, looping the cycle.

Master Hand (and, under certain conditions, Crazy Hand) will fight the player here when playing Classic Mode. Additionally, both Hands are fought here during Boss Battles Mode in separate battles.

The length of Final Destination is often used as a unit of measurement when describing attacks and/or techniques. For example, when comparing Link and Toon Link's Final Smashes, it is stated that Link's Final Smash covers the whole length of Final Destination while Toon Link's only covers half.

The background of this stage transitions in time with the stage's default music.

Tournament legality[edit]

Final Destination, due to its simple design and lack of disruptive features, has always been considered to be one of the fairest stages, and is usually a starter stage.

Final Destination's flat layout favors characters with projectiles such as Falco and Pit, since the opponent does not have any platforms they can use to jump on. The stage's large size makes KOing more difficult than on smaller stages such as Smashville, especially vertically. The large size also allows King Dedede to chain throw opponents more than he can on smaller stages. The stage lips are notorious for causing some characters' recoveries to be "caught" in them, which can cause them to miss the ledge sweetspot. The stage lips also allow stage spikes, such as Donkey Kong's forward throw, that send the opponent vertically downward if they don't tech.

Backgrounds[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • Brawl's Final Destination was the first one whose surface is not in the shape of an octagon (especially if one ignores the thin panels on either side of the stage).
  • This is also the only non-Melee stage to have only one starting track in My Music.
  • While all other unlockable characters' fights (when unlocking) take place on a stage from their respective universe (if Mario Bros. is considered R.O.B.'s home stage), if The Subspace Emissary method is not used, Ganondorf's takes place on this stage when unlocking him, with Hidden Mountain & Forest playing.
