Template:Stage Rainbow Cruise (Rainbow Ride in the PAL version) is a stage that appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is also one of Mario's home stages, and it is his stage in All-Star mode, along with any of his teammates.
Stage Layout
The battle starts off on a flying ship that is facing left. The ship has four propellers on the backside, three propellers on top, one on the front and two on the back, and six giant paddles. These make it fly. The anchor hangs off the front. The ship is flat in the center, but not on the sides. The bow of the ship is just a bit higher than the deck. The stern is clearly higher than the rest of the ship, including the bow. It is wide enough to fit two characters. The stern increases the height of the back of the boat, which is good for those who can wall-grapple. In the middle of the boat is the mast of the ship. It has two level to fight on. The space between the middle platform and the deck is slightly larger in comparison to the space between the top platform and the middle. The top platform is also shorter than the middle one. It is just large enough to fit Bowser. After about thirty seconds, the ship will crash into the next segment of the stage and sink. When the ship sinks, the characters will have to battle on the strange floating platforms that follow. The platforms are different and feature a rotating axle platform, flying carpets, and falling blocks. The stage moves in a clockwise order and at the end, flashing red arrows will appear that point downwards. They indicate that all players should descend to the lower parts of the stage before the camera zooms down. Those who do not make it to the boat, which is waiting below, can be KO'd off the top off the screen. The cycle continues from there. Because of its predictable pattern, Rainbow Cruise is allowed in some tournaments.
Melee Stages: Rainbow Ride
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Rainbow Cruise returns as Melee Stages: Rainbow Ride. The reason for the name change was likely because Rainbow Cruise was the debug name for the stage in Super Mario 64, while Rainbow Ride was the designation given to it in the actual game.
