Big Blue (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Big Blue appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see w:c:fzero:Big Blue.
Big Blue is a stage on Super Smash Stadium. It was the first stage to debut in Season 30 and the 92nd overall. It's also only the second F-Zero stage.
==Stage overview==
The stage takes place on its namesake track, as was seen in F-Zero X, but with a twist: You are constantly moving on the track, and you fight on top of the cars, which, to you, appear to be moving slowly! Every now and then, floating platforms, metallic flying drones, and Captain Falcon's Falcon Flyer fly in. If you land on the track, you're pretty much dead if you miss the tech, as you have to be lightning fast to recover.
==Changes==
The extra platforms and drones weren't present on the first playing.
Before Season 42, Captain Falcon and his Blue Falcon would never be present on the track, while Samurai Goroh's Fire Stingray would be present even if he was fighting for that playing, and Jody Summer's White Cat would be present even though she is an Assist Trophy and uses this racer for her attack. This was all finally corrected that season.
==Notable playings==
This track seemed to be prone to malfunctions early on. In November of 2001, the F-Zero racers didn't show up for about 40 seconds, leading to an easy kill for the contestant in a Ninten vs. Mr. Game and Watch match, and ultimately a $6,924 win.
In October of 2002, two malfunctions happened on the track which led to an easy win for the contestant, who was playing Mario against Captain Falcon. First, the F-Zero racers weren't on the track, leading to a restart. Then, towards the end of the match, a wreck happened that Captain Falcon got caught in. This ultimately led to the contestant becoming the episode's big winner, taking home $28,216.
In multiple primetime specials throughout the 2000's, Podracers, X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and various other Star Wars series vehicles appeared instead, with the course going through various planets of the Star Wars universe, such as Tatooine, Naboo, Coruscant, Bespin, and Endor, with Mustafar appearing in post-Episode III playings. There was no floor in these playings; the ships were the only "ground" that the Smashers had to stand on. These playings were seen as ridiculously out-of-place, and Alex never made fully clear why this was done.
==In its own universe==
Big Blue is a racetrack in the F-Zero GP, so named because it's on a planet that consists almost entirely of water.
