Orbital Gate Assault (オービタルゲート周域, Orbital Gate Area) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U based on Star Fox: Assault. It is partially set aboard the Great Fox, as with the previous Star Fox stages Sector Z, Corneria, and Venom. There are also sections set on top of missiles and on Arwings. It was confirmed as a stage on October 1, 2014, although a Pic of the Day teased it more than two months prior. Having every player hold what is usually the shield button upon choosing the stage will result in conversations taking place via various characters while the battle is going on.

Origin

This stage is based on the eighth story mission in Star Fox: Assault. This mission sees the parasitic Aparoid race mount a direct attack on the Star Fox team's homeworld, Corneria, in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the deployment of an Aparoid-eradicating virus. In an Arwing-only battle within the planet's orbit, the team works with rival unit Star Wolf along with the Cornerian Defense Force to repel the Aparoid forces and destroy several missiles targeting the space station on which the virus is being developed.

Ω Form

The Omega form features a platform with the design of the orbital gate. It takes a different path than the normal version. The Great Fox and and the fights between Cornerians and Aparoids are absent.
