The Pirate Airship is the 37th event match in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which is unlocked, along with Events 29-36 and 38-40, after all playable characters are unlocked. The player plays Toon Link and must KO two Yoshis when the whirlwind picks up the ship into the sky. If a Yoshi is KO'd when the Pirate Ship is on the water, it respawns at 0%.
Strategy
Rack up as much damage as you can on the two Yoshis, and avoid using dair, smash attacks, and Spin Attack (Up B). When the whirlwind picks up the ship, use Up-Smashes, Forward-Smashes, dair, and more of Toon Link's powerful moves. At least one of them will probably survive, so when the ship lands, camp and use your bow and boomerang to put more damage on them. If they get close, use your Neutral A combo. After the second whirlwind, you'll probably either win or have one left. One's much easier than two, so repeat the camping strategy. It should be a breeze from there.
Hard Mode: They're harder to kill, but use the same strategy as above, incorporating more powerful moves while they're at low percents. It's still easy, but it takes patience.
Trivia
- Beating this event unlocks Song of Storms for the Pirate Ship stage.
- The only Pirate Ship event that occurs during this match is the hurricane. There will be no rocks, bomb towers, etc. that you must wait for.
