'''Spirit Train''' ({{ja|汽車|Kisha}}, ''Train'') is a stage in {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' based on the Spirit Train that travels through New Hyrule in the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks}}''.

==Overview==

Characters can fight inside the carriage of the train. The roof of the carriage is a soft [[platform]]. The train is also towing another platform behind it. An aerial platform will occasionally appear on-screen. Players can also stand on top of the train itself. The train is being driven by Link in his conductor appearance from ''Spirit Tracks''; he stands in the background and does not interact with the fighters. However, if any one of [[Link]], [[Toon Link]] or [[Young Link]] are fighting, Alfonzo will be conducting the train instead. In Local Wireless, neither of them appear, leaving the train with no conductor regardless of which characters are fighting.

{{iw|zeldawiki|Dark Train}}s and {{iw|zeldawiki|Armored Train}}s also appear on the stage. Armored Trains affect the train by ramming into it and pushing it towards the opposite blast line. Dark Trains may leap on the train (which can KO characters on top of it) and explode. The Dark Train may also dud once in a while, similar to a [[Smart Bomb]]. Players can additionally attack the Dark Train to detonate it.

Any item that touches the tracks immediately disappears, except the [[Soccer Ball]], [[Sandbag]] and [[Smash Ball]]. This makes defeating [[Assist Trophies]] much easier than on other stages, since all fighters need to do is knock them onto the tracks instead of depleting their health.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'',  the [[Ω form]] replaces the train with a flat platform resembling the flatbed rail cars. The stage is set higher above ground so the tracks aren't seen, even when the game is paused and the camera is angled down.

The Spirit Train first appeared in ''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks'', where Link drives it around New Hyrule to reach various destinations. The Spirit Train's design is how it appears in ''Spirit Tracks'' with the [[zeldawiki:Train Cars#Spirit_Train|Solid Passenger Car]], which comes with the locomotive itself, and different rear carriages that can appear on the stage, one of them being the {{iw|zeldawiki|Trusty Freight Car}} add-on from ''Spirit Tracks''. Dark Trains are enemy trains in ''Spirit Tracks'' that attack by pursuing the Spirit Train attempting to crash into it, causing an instant game over. Conductor Link wears his Driver outfit from ''Spirit Tracks''.

You'll travel the lovely Forest Land as you fight, but be careful where you're standing—the last car can come uncoupled from time to time. You may see Linebeck III's shop, and Alfonzo drives if Link or Toon Link are busy fighting.

|desc-pal=The Spirit Train from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks takes you on a picturesque tour of the Forest Land while you, um... battle. Stay on your toes – the last car has a habit of decoupling and recoupling itself. Linebeck's shop also makes the odd appearance, and Alfonzo will drive the train if Link or Toon Link are busy with the brawl.

*In early showings of the stage, the floating platform was originally carried by birds.

*In ''for Nintendo 3DS'', a [[Character customization|custom]] {{SSB4|Sonic}} with all speed-based equipment under the effect of a [[Bunny Hood]] and [[Superspicy Curry]] is able to outrun the train.

*In ''for Nintendo 3DS'', if the player [[tech]]s on the tracks, they will clip through the locomotive, and be placed in the frontmost carriage.

*This is the only ''Zelda'' stage based off of an exclusively handheld installment in the series.

*In ''Ultimate'', fighters who land on the track will be swept to the right at a faster speed that the train is actually moving across the track; more than double this speed. As such, the only way to outrun the train is with very extreme circumstances, by equipping Sonic with a 3-slot spirit with the weight ↓ ability, trained in Runner Style, with 3 speed ↑ support spirits. Then Sonic must collect the [[Bunny Hood]], and the [[Super Mushroom]], and only then will he just barely be able to outrun the train.

*The models used for Conductor Link are noticeably different from the playable Toon Link.

** The model in ''Ultimate'' is based on Toon Link's model from {{forwiiu}}, so it does not account for the design changes made to Toon Link's model between games.

* The Spirit Train in the stage moves significantly faster than it originally did in ''Spirit Tracks'', and it doesn't slow down.

* It is illogical that the Conductor Link will be replaced if Adult Link or Young Link are already on the stage, since they are all canonically from different time periods.

*In ''Ultimate'', the following [[Assist Trophies]] can only appear on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage: [[Chain Chomp]], [[Waluigi]], the [[Moon]], [[Midna]], [[Mother Brain]], [[Chef Kawasaki]], [[Starman (Earthbound)|Starman]], [[Jeff]], [[Ashley]], [[Burrowing Snagret]], [[Kapp'n]], [[Riki]], [[Color TV-Game 15]], [[Devil]], [[Dr. Wright]], [[Isaac]], [[Nintendog]], the [[Squid Sisters]], the [[Ghosts]], [[Knuckles]] and [[Rathalos]]. [[Nightmare]] and [[Andross]] cannot be summoned on this stage at all. Additionally, the following [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon can only be summoned on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms: [[Alolan Exeggutor]], [[Togepi]], [[Metagross]], [[Arceus]], [[Zoroark]], [[Xerneas]] and [[Marshadow]]. [[Alolan Raichu]] cannot be summoned here at all.

**This is the highest amount of Assist Trophies that cannot be summoned on a specific stage.
