'''Ladders''' are present in certain stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. [[Character]]s are able to use ladders to quickly move vertically without [[jump]]ing.

When next to a ladder's base, pressing up on the [[control stick]]/[[d-pad]] will cause the character to grab onto the ladder; the same happens if standing at the top of the ladder and pressing down. While on a ladder, characters are considered to be in the air, so they are immune to [[sleep]] and other such effects. Characters can climb up or slide down ladders by moving the control stick up or down; all characters have the same speed on ladders. Multiple characters can occupy the same space on a ladder.

To release the ladder, a character can either reach its end (and dismount) or tap sideways.

Characters can grab ladders when passing by one in the air, even while [[helpless]]. This is done by pressing up or down; the character will grab the ladder and start climbing/descending. Ladders cause characters to regain all their jumps (with the notable exception of {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, the reason for this is unknown). 

While on a ladder, in ''Brawl'' and ''for Wii U'', characters cannot do anything other than climb, descend, or let go, which leaves them vulnerable to attacks if they remain on the ladder. Starting in ''Ultimate'', however, they can also use [[aerial attack]]s while remaining stationary on the ladder, a property known officially as a '''ladder attack''', giving them a means of fending off attackers.

Ladders appear in the following stages:
*[[Rumble Falls]]
*[[75m]]
*[[PictoChat]]
*[[Stage Builder]] stages (''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'' only)
*[[The Subspace Emissary]]
**[[Sea of Clouds]]
**[[The Lake]]
**[[The Ruined Zoo]]
**[[The Battlefield Fortress]]
**[[The Forest]]
**[[The Ruins]]
**[[The Swamp]]
**[[The Research Facility (Part II)|The Research Facility II]]
**[[The Glacial Peak]]
**[[Battleship Halberd Interior]]
**[[The Great Maze]]
*[[Wrecking Crew]]
*[[Palutena's Temple]]

==Trivia==
*Even though [[Bowser]] can climb ladders in ''Brawl'', he cannot do so in his playable appearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Paper Mario}}'', which was released before ''Brawl''.
*[[Diddy Kong]]'s climbing animations are a reference to the animation of climbing up and down vines in Donkey Kong Jr., except Diddy Kong is turned around.
*Mewtwo, Rosalina, and Bayonetta don't actually climb the ladders, let alone touch them. Instead they use their powers to rise up or float down.
*Oddly, R.O.B doesn't move his arms at all when climbing up the ladders.

-While on a ladder, in ''Brawl'' and ''for Wii U'', characters cannot do anything other than climb, descend, or let go, which leaves them vulnerable to attacks if they remain on the ladder. Starting in ''Ultimate'', however, they can also use [[aerial attack]]s while remaining stationary on the ladder, a property known officially as a '''ladder attack''', giving them a means of fending off attackers.
-Any aerial attack can be used while on a ladder, though some cause the user to let go of the ladder, namely:
-*All [[stall-then-fall]] down aerials (except {{SSBU|Bowser}}'s)
-*{{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Young Link}}'s down aerials
-*{{SSBU|Ivysaur}}'s down aerial
-*{{SSBU|Lucario}}'s down aerial
-*{{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}'s forward aerial
-*{{SSBU|R.O.B.}}'s back and down aerials
-*{{SSBU|Steve}}'s down aerial (with sufficient materials)
-Additionally, certain aerial attacks function differently when used as a ladder attack:
-*{{SSBU|Bayonetta}} cannot perform the extended versions of her neutral and up aerials, instead simply firing [[Bullet Arts]] once before going back to her ladder grabbing animation. Similarly, she cannot use the second and third hits of her forward aerial.
-*{{SSBU|Min Min}} cannot perform consecutive [[Punch]]es with her forward and back aerials, and remains stationary while attacking.
-*Steve cannot use his neutral and up aerials consecutively by holding the attack button (it has to be pressed repeatedly instead), and remains stationary when using his down aerial with insufficient materials (or if an anvil is already out).
-*{{SSBU|Sora}} can only perform the first attack of both his neutral and forward aerial, which means he won't be able to use his three-hit combo on a ladder.
