'''Brinstar Depths''' ({{ja|ブリンスタ深部|Burinsuta Shinbu}}, ''Brinstar Depths'') is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In ''Melee'', it can be unlocked by playing 50 battles in [[Versus Mode]]. It is also one of {{SSBM|Samus}}'s [[home stage]]s, but the player plays against {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} and his teammates on this stage in [[All-Star Mode]]. 

==Stage overview==
This stage is unique, due to it being a giant irregular stone (with one continuous "floor") with two floating smaller companion stones at the top and bottom of the stage (though the terms "top" and "bottom" are loosely applied). The lava at the bottom of the screen is merely graphical (unlike [[Brinstar]]'s acid) and functions only as a [[blast line]]. Often [[Kraid]], the giant alien monster in the background, will rotate the stage in either direction, moving the whole rock for only a few seconds at a time. However, no limit is set regarding to what extent it may be rotated in total, meaning it can flip upside down. Even if Kraid rotates the stage to how it began, its position is unlikely to be precisely the same, due to the fact that the rotations are slightly randomised in duration. Also of note is that in ''Melee'', [[ledge]]s are completely absent, though [[wall-grapple]]s remain effectual.  However, in ''Ultimate'', ledges do exist at various points along the continuous floor.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set on a flat version of the normal form's main platform that is also the same size and shape as {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s' designs are the same as the walkway of the main platform.

==Origin==
[[File:KraidBattle.png|thumb|left|Samus battling Kraid in ''Super Metroid''.]]
{{s|metroidwiki|Kraid}} first appeared in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' as a mini-boss and as the boss for {{s|metroidwiki|Brinstar}} in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. However, his appearance in ''Super Metroid'' was dramatically changed and remained as such in future ''Metroid'' titles. Kraid's appearance in this stage is based on his character design in ''Super Metroid''. The stage itself, however, bears no resemblance to his lair in either game. The name of the stage is a reference to the proximity of Kraid's lair being deep below Brinstar in ''Metroid''.

==Tournament legality==
Brinstar Depths is [[Tournament legal (SSBM)|banned]] in both [[singles]] and [[doubles]] tournaments, primarily due to its low blast line, which strongly favours vertical KO moves. Additionally, the stage lacks edges that can be grabbed giving characters who have strong recoveries an advantage. Similarly, some small platforms can quickly become isolated thus creating [[stalling]] opportunities. Depending on the placement of such platforms, [[cave of life|caves of life]] can also become a problem.

==Trivia==
*In ''Ultimate'', Brinstar Depths and [[Brinstar]] share the same main platform and soft platforms for their [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]].
*For unknown reasons, both [[Super Mushroom|Super]] and [[Poison Mushroom]]s never appear on this stage in ''Ultimate''. This may be due to the stage's dim lighting making it difficult to distinguish them.
*This is the only ''Metroid'' stage in ''Ultimate'' not to have any unlockable characters fought here.
