}}{{cquote|''This stage rests on top of the spacecraft Pleiades.

'''Lylat Cruise''' ({{ja|ライラットクルーズ|Rairatto Kurūzu}}, ''Lylat Cruise'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is situated on an original spacecraft called the ''Pleiades'' as it flies around various areas of the [[Lylat System]]. The original [[Great Fox]], [[Arwing]]s, and [[Wolfen]]s can be seen at various points in the stage.  

In ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', Wolf is fought here when being unlocked, while Falco is fought here in his unlocking battle in ''Brawl''.

The stage itself has few hazards — the ship tilts to-and-fro as it makes turns and avoids shots from other ships, and the ledge is quite thin, so recovering characters may be caught under the ledge (as can happen in ''[[Melee]]'''s {{SSBM|Battlefield}}). The tilting can affect the way some items (such as [[Barrel]]s) move around the stage or how effective some attacks (such as [[Blaster]] and [[Green Missile]]) are due to the slope.

The ''Pleiades'' flies through many events:

Similar to the [[Corneria]] and [[Venom]] stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the ''Star Fox'' characters can perform a [[Star Fox Smash Taunt]] that allows them to contact their teammates.  The conversation that ensues, as well as the characters involved, depends on who initiates the call and where the ''Pleiades'' is currently flying. The talk box is slightly updated in graphics compared to the ''Melee'' version.

In every {{uv|Star Fox}} game, there is a level that involves going through an asteroid field. In the original ''Star Fox'' (''Starwing''), the player has to try to get through the level without getting hit by asteroids or being shot down by enemies. The player can also shoot the asteroids to destroy them. The asteroid field in ''Star Fox 64'' is called "Meteos". The goal of this level is the same as the asteroid belt in ''Star Fox''. The player can also shoot to destroy the asteroids like in ''Star Fox'', but there are also larger asteroids that can't be destroyed. In order to get around those asteroids, the player has to maneuver around them. In this stage, the Pleiades flies and maneuvers through an asteroid belt. There are also the larger asteroids seen in ''Star Fox 64''. An Arwing can also be seen, shooting the smaller asteroids and going around the larger asteroids.

'''''Pleiades''''' ({{ja|プレアデス|Pureadesu}} ''Pleiades'') is the name of the ship players ride on on the Lylat Cruise. It is an original creation, and thus has never appeared in a ''Star Fox'' game. Its name likely comes from the real-life star cluster called the {{s|Wikipedia|Pleiades|star cluster}}.

Notably, the 2017 recommended ruleset for ''SSB4'' initially listed Lylat Cruise as a banned stage in tournaments. This decision was met with mixed reception; one notable example of opposition to this change is from {{Sm|ESAM}}, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg9cqpCvBlY who made a video] addressing his feelings on the subject. The stage was later unretired and returned to being a neutral stage due to the outcome of a community poll. Despite its return, however, the stage's mixed reception has continued, and it arguably remains the single most contentious point of ''Smash 4'''s current competitive ruleset.

In ''Ultimate'', it is often considered a starter, but is sometimes a counterpick in certain rulesets. Though the glitches on the stage have been fixed, the tilting can still interrupt some recoveries.

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4-u}} 1.0.2'''

*Added 8-player mode version of the stage and its Ω form.

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4-u}} 1.0.6'''

*The stage's underside has been completely redesigned, losing its visual accuracy in exchange for allowing characters to recover up the sides without hitting a ceiling. A similar change was made to its Ω form. Despite this, the walls at the stage's edges are now smaller and therefore still somewhat glitchy, albeit to a lesser extent.
