Mute City is unlocked from the start. It is also Captain Falcon's home stage and you face him and his teammates in All-Star mode. F-Zero fans will recognize the stage's design as a perfect recreation of the Mute City 1 track from F-Zero X.

The stage begins on the track at the starting point of the race. A sign will appear and say "GO!!!". Then a platform will come out from under your character. It will hover over the track. If you touch the track while the platform is hovering, you will take damage. The platform will stop for a moment, then you can fight on the track again. This is a set pattern and will occur in the same way each time. The exception to this rule is the loop at the end of the track, where the platform will take off from the track altogether and fly through the air. Any player falling off the platform and unable to recover here will die. The stage then touches back down on the track for the last time and reveals its last variation before going back to the finish line, where the stage loop is restarted.

The race cars are another level hazard, they drive around the track and will damage any player upon contact and send them upwards. The race cars can be damaged and even destroyed by hitting them with explosives, powerful attacks/items and immovable Pokémon. The process will keep repeating itself, where the platform will rise up and take you to another part of the track to battle on. Towards the end of the track, the platform will hover over open space. If you fall too far down, then you will die. The platform will then arrive at the finish line again and the stage will start over.

Trivia

• In the "Special Video" during Pikachu's scenes (when it uses its down b), one of the "stops" of the stage is shown with two spining platforms, when in every mode there is only one platform, and it moves lateraly. These two platforms do appear in the trophy of mute city (under the main platform, inside the track).
