In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] features a flat platform with similar designs to the normal platform which orbits around the Halberd. Characters can no longer pass through the platform from below. The shipyard is never seen as the platform starts in midair and never lands on the deck of the ship. Star KOs can occur here. | In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] features a flat platform with similar designs to the normal platform which orbits around the Halberd.

This stage is from ''Kirby Super Star''. In the sub-game ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', Meta Knight attempts to take over Dream Land using an airship known as the Halberd. In order to stop [[Meta Knight]], [[Kirby]] must infiltrate the airship and destroy it from the inside. The Halberd in ''Smash'' is loosely based on its appearance in ''Super Star'', though it has a more streamlined design, which would become the basis of its design in later ''Kirby'' games. | This stage is from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.

At the beginning of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', a cutscene is shown that depicts the Halberd flying out of a hangar, similarly to the beginning of this stage. The cutscene also depicts the Halberd flying over the ocean at sunset, which serves as the basis for the stage's backdrop. | At the beginning of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', a cutscene is shown that depicts the Halberd flying out of a hangar, similarly to the beginning of this stage.

As Kirby is destroying the Halberd, he comes across the ship's main artillery, the Combo Cannon. As its name implies, the Combo Cannon has two barrels: one that fires cannonballs, and another that fires lasers. It also has an arm that will try to grab Kirby. In this stage, the main platform lands in front of the Combo Cannon. The Combo Cannon has retained its ability to fire cannonballs and lasers, but the arm does not grab players as it did in ''Revenge of Meta Knight''; rather, it will extend and damage players. | As Kirby is destroying the Halberd, he comes across the ship's main artillery, the {{s|wikirby|Combo Cannon}}.

The Halberd is being commandeered as the mother ship for the Subspace Army during the story. It also engages {{SSBB|Fox}} in an Arwing twice and the [[Great Fox]] once, grabbing onto the latter with the Combo Cannon as the Halberd crashed into [[The Glacial Peak]]. In all these cases the Halberd was too much for its attackers. It is used to drop off [[Shadow Bug]]s. While under the control of the Subspace Army, it is piloted by a group of Shadow Bug duplicates of {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, which afterwards coalesce into [[Duon]]. Near the end of the story, Meta Knight regains control of the ship and picks up the other protagonists. The ship is later destroyed when it attempts a direct assault on the [[Subspace Gunship]]. Despite this, it still appears in [[The Great Maze]]. | The Halberd is being commandeered as the mother ship for the Subspace Army during the story.

There is a glitch on this stage that involves going "inside" the solid platform on the second portion of the stage (when the flying platform lands on the front of the ship). It is mainly a [[stalling]] technique, and it can be performed using [[Drill Rush]] or [[Aether]]. It is possible to jump back out, or get hit by an attack that knocks the staller up far enough. This technique is obviously heavily discouraged in competitive play, though the large difficulty of performing it and it being extremely situational makes it a pretty minor problem, along with the fact that it can only be done until the stage moves on from that portion. | There is a glitch on this stage that involves going "inside" the solid platform on the second portion of the stage (when the flying platform lands on the front of the ship).
