Announced at E3 2001, Template:Nihongo is a starter stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and is essentially a smaller version of Fox's old stage, Sector Z stage in Super Smash Bros. Corneria is also featured as one of the Melee Stages in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The fighting still takes place atop the Great Fox, but it is now scaled down in size and the background is now Corneria rather than Sector Z. Arwings still fly around and occasionally fire. The Great Fox has two laser cannons in the front that will charge and fire when players fall below the hull on the left side. Characters caught in the blast usually have no chance of survival. However, one can use energy-projectile absorption moves like PSI Magnet and Oil Panic to benefit from these shots instead.

Corneria is usually banned from standard tournament rulesets because of the attacking stage elements such as the Arwings as well as issues with camping and chain grabs against the wall.

In All-Star Mode in Melee, this stage is where one fights Fox and any of his teammates.

Origin

Corneria City as seen in Star Fox 64.

Corneria first appeared in the original Star Fox and it's sequel Star Fox 64. This stage is from the Star Fox 64 version of Corneria. In Star Fox 64's Corneria, the player has to fly on from the beginning of the stage to the other side of the side to confront the boss. One of the areas that the player flies through and his or her why to the boss is a city named Corneria City. Corneria City is almost completely destroyed due to enemy attacks. In this stage the Great Fox takes the same route as a player would have to take through Corneria (including Corneria City). However, Corneria City in this stage is much denser and the buildings aren't destroyed.

The Great Fox is the mobile headquarters for the Star Fox team and it is a battleship/carrier. The Great Fox first appeared in Star Fox 64. The overall design of the Great Fox seen in this stage look almost exactly as it looked in Star Fox 64, but the Great Fox has been greatly scaled down. Ever since the first Star Fox, the Star Fox team's main aircraft that they pilot are Arwings. The Arwings have been redesigned in Star Fox 64. In this stage can be seen Arwings flying over the Great Fox. The Arwings main weapon are lasers that shoot the player's enemies. They is also an upgrade that let's the player shoot two lasers at once. The design of the Arwing are designed like they are in Star Fox 64 and they shoot the upgraded lasers. In Star Fox 64 there is a mercenary group called Star Wolf. The team also first appeared in Star Fox 64 and they have aircraft that is similar to the Arwing called Wolfens. The design of the Wolfens in this stage resemble what how they were designed in Star Fox 64. [1]

The music for this stage is, ironically, from the planet Venom in Star Fox, mixed in with pieces of the main theme of Star Fox. [2]

Stage Functions

Arwings and Wolfens fly down to fire lasers at players, usually coming from the right hand side or from up above. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past blast lines. The Great Fox's cannons can also damage characters, though they can be destroyed (which also stops them from functioning as a platform).

Fox and Falco can perform a special easter egg on this stage in which they contact other characters from the Star Fox games. It is performed by pressing down on the D-Pad for one frame.

The level is also apparently scrolling slightly, as items that should remain stationary in the air like Flippers and Party Balls will move slowly. Also, the Great Fox's wings will sometimes touch the sea under it, though swimming is impossible even in Brawl.

When Pokémon Trainer is used on this stage, there will be an extra smaller ship for the trainer to stand on in the background.
