Pirate Ship is a stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The main setup is a a slightly curved main platform like a boat and two upper platforms, showing the mast of the ship. The surrounding ocean gives players the ability to swim. All fighters are on a cruising ship which passes along an enemy lookout that fires bombs at the ship. Anyone that comes in contact with the bombs will take heavy damage. Any player that runs into the front or back of the pirate ship while in the water will be automatically KO'd. The King of Red Lions occasionally makes an appearance on the right side of the stage. The ship will also run into a small island from time to time, giving players a newly-shaped terrain to fight on. The ship will eventually right itself as the island sinks, forcing players to return to the norm. There is a catapult on the front of the ship that will appear on occasion. If you are standing on it, you will go flying. Also, another hazard is that a storm will sometimes cause a cyclone to come from the background, throwing the ship high into the sky, eliminating the option to swim around near the ship. The ship will fall back down after a short time and land back in the water. While falling, the players have improved jumping abilities.

Trivia

• The rain on this stage actually is not rendered in 3-D. It is actually just 2-D sprites falling in the foreground and background. To see this, pause the game and tilt the camera. The same thing happens on the Distant Planet stage.
• The King of Red Lions is larger than he originally was in Wind Waker and the sail is on the outside edge of the boat rather than inside it.
• The catapult in the front will kill you if you have enough damage.
• When falling from the cyclone, King Dedede can avoid battle by using his Up B recovery, allowing him to avoid the battle for 10 to 15 seconds.
• In Wind Waker, Tetra's Ship had only one platform on the mast, not 2.
• If a projectile hits the catapult, it will launch automatically.
• The bow is a one way platform.
• The enormous cyclone that occasionally appears is derived from the power used by the half-god of wind, Cyclos. It may also refer to the Wind Waker song Ballad of Gales, which was needed to warp around the Great Sea.
• While invincible, a character can go under the ship without dying. This means that the boat itself does not kill a character, but knocks them into the lower blast line.
