Outside the Ancient Ruins

Outside the Ancient Ruins (, Ancient Ruins Outside) is the twentieth stage of The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
==Overview==
The level opens with many Pikmin pecking at something, which a change in camera angle reveals to be a giant R.O.B. unit in a dormant state. Further changes in view reveal many dozens of Pikmin attacking it. The R.O.B. activates and spins its torso, sending all but a few Pikmin to their deaths upon contact with the ground. The camera cuts to show a terrified-looking Olimar on the ground nearby, surrounded by his remaining Pikmin. A lone Red Pikmin taps Olimar on the leg to get his attention and points behind him.
Olimar turns to see the Blue Falcon racing down between ruined columns. Suddenly, the vehicle stops and its hatch pops open, sending its occupant flying forward. With a shout of "Falcon Punch!", the camera shows Captain Falcon performing the signature move of the same name. The punch lands between the R.O.B.'s eyes, knocking it over and defeating it. Falcon's momentum sends him sliding along the ground, accidentally killing all of Olimar's Pikmin except the one at his side. The captains then form an alliance at this point.
After a section of the stage, another cutscene shows the captains arriving at a cliff overlooking the World of Trophies's ocean and spot the Smash Skiff. The camera then cuts to show an Arwing pursuing the platform, flown by but also containing a very cramped Diddy Kong. Falco performs a barrel roll, allowing Diddy to drop out of the Arwing. To keep himself aloft in the air, he activates his Rocketbarrel Pack and then fires his Peanut Popguns at the Primids on the Smash Skiff, sending them careening off it. Seeing this action, Captain Falcon smiles, grabs the once again terrified Olimar and jumps off the cliff towards the platform.
Diddy Kong then lands on the platform and immediately rescues Donkey Kong as the captains land on the platform next to the Kongs. More Primids soon board the Smash Skiff, at which point the quartet team up to drive them off. After this, the Kongs are seen celebrating their victory and reunion, whereupon Falco flies off, giving a thumbs-up to Diddy as he waves him goodbye. 
Afterwards, the platform flies into a hangar on the Isle of the Ancients and the level is clear. Donkey Kong, Olimar and Captain Falcon then join the player's team.
