Planet Zebes: Brinstar

This article is about the Super Smash Bros. Melee'' stage. For the area in the Metroid games, see Brinstar.''

Brinstar is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee that depicts Zebes' deep caverns. The stage is unlocked from the start, and the player fights Samus Aran there in most of her appearances. In Adventure Mode, after the player fights Samus, he or she must evacuate Zebes in one minute.

Brinstar is argueably a hard stage to battle on. Lava constantly surges up and down from the core, providing damage but also a means to get back up if being KO'd. Two of the three floating platforms are held up by Bio-Barriers; these can be destroyed to tilt the platforms. Also, if one attacks the Bomb Parasites on the stage, it will split into two parts, making it harder for people to fight. All in all, it is a very cool place to battle.
