This stage is based on the | This stage is based on the first area of Shadow Moses Island in ''Metal Gear Solid'': a helipad located outside a tank hangar and connected to a nuclear weapons disposal facility. Its design in ''Smash'' is slightly different than the original game: the staircases are missing, the truck that was parked in front of the building is gone, and the height of the searchlight towers have been extended. In ''Metal Gear Solid'', the facility's searchlights are focused on the helipad itself. If Snake gets into the light, the cover is blown and guards are called to kill him. The searchlights remain focused on him until he finds somewhere to hide. Ever since ''Metal Gear Solid'', if the player is seen by security, the trademark exclamation point is displayed over the enemy's head, and the corresponding sound effect plays. If a player gets caught by the searchlights in ''Smash'', an exclamation point will appear over the player who got caught, and the same sound can be heard. The searchlights will also follow that player for a short time. | ||

In ''Metal Gear Solid'', Snake was first commissioned out of retirement to infiltrate the facility to destroy Metal Gear REX before Liquid Snake could launch its nuke. In ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', the U.S. Marine Corps designed a new Metal Gear called Metal Gear RAY. It was designed as a counter to the immense amount of Metal Gear REX derivatives being constructed around the world. Both | In ''Metal Gear Solid'', Snake was first commissioned out of retirement to infiltrate the facility to destroy a nuclear capable mech, Metal Gear REX, before Liquid Snake could launch its nuke. In ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', the U.S. Marine Corps designed a new Metal Gear called Metal Gear RAY. It was designed as a counter to the immense amount of Metal Gear REX derivatives being constructed around the world. Both REX and RAY have a chance of appearing in the background of this stage; however, RAY never appeared on Shadow Moses Island until ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'', where Snake and Liquid Ocelot fight each other using REX and RAY. | ||

Unlike REX and RAY, Gekkos aren't able to launch nukes, so Gekkos aren't true Metal Gears. In ''Guns of the Patriots'', Gekkos appear on Shadow Moses Island. The design of the Gekkos resembles their appearance in ''Guns of the Patriots''; however, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was first released on January 31, 2008 in Japan, while ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' was released internationally on June 12, 2008, making ''Brawl'' the first game that Gekkos appear in. | ||
