The Subspace Gunship is an incredibly large warship, approximately as long as the whole of the [[Isle of the Ancients]]. It consists of a slender and mostly cylindrical forward half and a thicker back half, the entirety of which is colored a dull and steel-like gray. A pair of pointed ends reminiscent of a shark's fins come out of the bottom of the Gunship, while the sides of the back end are circular domes. A large number of vertical segments resembling skyscrapers stretch out of the Gunship's core both upwards and downwards; their purpose is unknown.

The Gunship has a small elevated platform in the center of its back half where Ganondorf and Bowser command it. It is unknown how their commands are issued, as there is no apparent means of interface with the Gunship itself on this platform; it does however seem to respond to Ganondorf's gestures. | The Gunship has a small elevated platform in the center of its back half where Ganondorf and Bowser command it.

The Subspace Gunship has a battery of five turrets stationed around its main weapon. They are its main armament for engaging other ships. These turrets fire thick and orange blasts of energy. The circular sides of the Gunship house a quintet of turrets each that fire smaller green blasts. The primary turrets are used for shooting down small ships, whereas the fire of the secondary turrets appear to have a weak homing ability, judging by how the shots curve; the primary shots only fire straight, but when all turrets are firing, it can literally fill the sky with projectiles. These weapons managed to destroy the Halberd but failed to destroy or even hit the four smaller ships piloted by {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Samus}}, one of the {{uv|Star Fox}} [[fighter]]s and {{SSBB|Olimar}}; whether this is fault of its weaponry, the skill of the pilots or both is unknown. | The Subspace Gunship has a battery of five turrets stationed around its main weapon.

The Gunship's main | The Gunship's main weapon comprises the entire front half of the vessel. It fires a chaotic purple beam vaguely resembling a bolt of lightning with a ground-shaking blast that replicates the detonation of a Subspace Bomb upon impact. Prior to firing, conduits around the weapon's barrel glow purple while a quartet of prongs at the end of it focus the blast in front of the barrel. The blasts are said to be capable of "infinitely rending space", but it is unknown how long the Gunship must recharge between said blasts due to it only uses this cannon a single time in the only cutscene in which it appeared in. | ||
