Frigate Orpheon (stage)

The Frigate Orpheon stage.

Frigate Orpheon is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl based on the Space Pirate frigate of the same name that was investigated in Metroid Prime. The Parasite Queen appears in the background, occasionally roaring at the player, but it has no impact on the gameplay. The stage will occasionally sound an alarm and flip itself 180 degrees. Any player that does not jump into the air in time risks falling off the edge when the stage flips. Each side of the stage features different terrian. The first is a flat area with a single floating platform to the left, the right side occasionally sinking farther down then the rest of the floor before moving up, making it a brief spot for hiding or ambushes. The other side features a gentle "U" shaped slope through the middle, with a floating platform above it, making it more built for constant engagement. Sometimes the stage will suffer blackouts, making difficult to determine where the edges, though one can still figure out where by watching the blue lights that occasionally travel through the floor. A single floating platform sometimes appears off the edge of the stage, that can be be used as a brief place to escape, but it will eventually move offscreen.
