Big Blue is banned in tournaments, in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. The primary reasons are that the track can easily cause [[SD]]s, the abundance of platforms causes the stage to favour good jumpers, and it allows excessive [[circle camping]] and [[stalling]] to be performed easily. | Big Blue is banned in tournaments, in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.

Big Blue is a race track that has first appeared in ''[[F-Zero]]'' and later appeared in ''[[F-Zero X]]''. In the manual for ''F-Zero'' is a comic book of Captain Falcon's first bounty missions. Captain Falcon manages to shoot and kill a criminal for money, which makes rival bounty hunter [[Samurai Goroh]] angry. Captain Falcon escapes from Samurai Goroh with his Falcon Flyer and flies away. The Falcon Flyer never appeared in the game ''F-Zero'' itself or in ''F-Zero X''. The Falcon Flyer seen in this stage looks very similar to the Falcon Flyer in the manual comic. The overall design of this stage resembles the Big Blue tracks in ''F-Zero X'' (such as the buildings in the far background and the design of the dolphin signs) with the overall straight design possibly coming from Big Blue Quick Turn (fifth track on the Queen Cup in the game), whose corkscrew layout gives the track the illusion of being a long stretch sometimes; however, ''F-Zero X'''s Big Blue does not feature jumps or a loop and the layout of the track in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' is randomly generated. The F-Zero machines are taken from the F-Zero machines featured in ''F-Zero X''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2_0apEvZjw]</ref> The race seen in the [[F-Zero Grand Prix]] stage of [[Adventure Mode]] also happens on Big Blue, but this one seems to be based instead on Big Blue Cylinder (fifth track of the Jack Cup in ''F-Zero X''), given the tubular structure on the background on which the racers are seen before speeding through the stage. | |||
