Brinstar Depths is a stage in Melee that can be unlocked by playing 50 battles in Versus Mode. It is also one of Samus's home stages, but you play against Ganondorf and his teammates on this stage in All-Star mode.

The stage is a giant meteor that has one platform at the top and one at the bottom. Often Kraid, the giant monster in the background, will rotate the stage. The stage will then be at a different angle when it is rotated. This stage has no ledges no matter how it is rotated. Even if Kraid rotates the stage to how it began, the stage is unlikely to be precisely the same.

The stage also has absurdly low blast lines, which provides an advantage to vertical-killing characters.

Brinstar Depths is usually illegal in both singles and doubles tournaments.
