'''The Ruined Zoo''' ({{ja|荒廃した動物園|Kouhaishita Doubutsuen}}, ''Ruined Zoo'') is the seventh (7th) stage of the [[Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Overview==
{{SSBB|Lucas}} is seen dejectedly walking through an old and broken-down zoo. Before too long, [[Shadow Bug]]s fall from the sky, and form [[Primid]]s. Lucas gets scared, when suddenly, a [[Pig King Statue|giant Porky statue]] crashes down and chases after Lucas.

The Ruined Zoo is a side scrolling area in which Lucas must run away from the Pig King Statue before he knocks him out. The camera scrolls forward (to the right) as the statue walks on. The higher the difficulty, the faster the statue will go. At one point, the statue will fall into the water; however, the statue respawns shortly thereafter by falling from the sky. When Lucas reaches the end, he trips and gets caught on a branch. Just when the Pig King Statue almost has him, {{SSBB|Ness}} arrives and destroys the statue, revealing [[Porky Minch]]. The two fight and defeat Porky, but {{SSBB|Wario}} appears and attempts to turn Ness into a trophy with his [[Dark Cannon]]. However, when Ness proves to be too difficult to hit, Wario sets his sights on Lucas instead. Noticing this, Ness sacrifices himself, pushing Lucas out of the way while he himself turns into a trophy. When Wario leaps from his perch to claim his prize, Lucas runs away in fear. 

He eventually runs into the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, who uses his {{SSBB|Squirtle}} to fight off oncoming Primids. Afterward, Lucas decides to stick with the Pokémon Trainer in order to save Ness and get revenge against Wario.

==Origin==
[[File:PodunkZoo.png|thumb|Ninten in front of the {{s|wikibound|Choucream Zoo}} in ''Mother''.]]
The concept of characters from the ''Mother''/''EarthBound'' series exploring a ruined zoo may be based on the Choucream Zoo thrown into chaos in ''[[Mother]]'' by the forces of a Starman Jr. until the game's protagonist, Ninten, stops the Starman Jr. and restores order to the zoo.

==Trivia==
*This is one of three levels (alongside [[Midair Stadium]] with {{SSBB|Mario}} and one of {{SSBB|Peach}} or {{SSBB|Zelda}} alongside [[The Jungle]] with {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}) in the Subspace Emissary where the player can play as a character (in this case, {{SSBB|Ness}}) during the level and not unlock them at the end. As Ness is the only one of these to be an unlockable character in general, completing this level does not unlock him for other modes.
