Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Corneria''' ({{ja|惑星コーネリア|Wakusei Kōneria}}, ''Planet Corneria'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and is essentially a smaller version of {{SSB|Fox}}'s old stage, [[Sector Z]], which was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Corneria later appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[Melee stage]] and in {{for3ds}} as a [[familiar stage]]. In [[All-Star Mode]] in ''Melee'', this stage is where one fights Fox and any of his teammates. This stage returns once again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', although updated to resemble the stage's appearance in ''Star Fox Zero''. In ''Smash 3DS'' and ''Ultimate'', [[Falco]] is fought here when being unlocked.


Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Corneria''' (Japanese: {{ja|コーネリア}}, ''Kōneria'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and is essentially a smaller version of {{SSB|Fox}}' old stage, [[Sector Z]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Corneria later appeared in as a [[Melee stage|Past and Melee stages]] in ''Brawl''.
==Stage overview==
In [[All-Star Mode]] in ''Melee'', this stage is where one fights Fox and any of his teammates.
The stage is set on the [[Great Fox]], like every other ''Star Fox'' stage released in ''SSB'' and ''Melee.'' The horizontal [[blast line]]s are very close to the main platform, and the stage has a very low [[ceiling]] in ''Brawl.''
[[Arwing]]s and [[Wolfen]]s fly down to fire lasers at players, usually coming from the right hand side or from up above. The lasers can damage players, but they will only make characters [[flinch]] very slightly and do no knockback, except in ''Smash 3DS'' where the shots explode on contact and can easily KO an unfortunate fighter. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past [[blast line]]s. The lasers fired by Arwings and Wolfens can be [[reflected]] or [[Absorption|absorbed]] by [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], and [[Mii Gunner]]. In a design change from Sector Z, players can stand on the Great Fox's laser cannons, but they will charge and fire on occasion. Characters caught in the crossfire usually have [[One-hit KO|no chance of survival]], although this was greatly toned down in ''Ultimate'', with the charging hitbox on the gun being the main threat. However, just like the Arwings and Wolfens, one can use energy-projectile absorption moves like [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Oil Panic]] to benefit from these shots. The laser cannons can be destroyed, which stops them from being used as platforms.


===Songs in [[My Music]]===
[[Fox]] and [[Falco]] can perform a special [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|easter egg]] on this stage in which they contact other characters from the ''Star Fox'' games. It is performed by pressing down on the D-Pad for one frame.
*''Corneria (Melee)''
 
*'''''Venom (Melee)'''''
The level is also apparently scrolling slightly, as items that should remain stationary in the air like Flippers and Party Balls will move slowly. Also, the Great Fox's wings will sometimes touch the sea under it, though [[swimming]] is impossible even in ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate''.
'''Song in bold must be unlocked'''
 
When {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} is used on this stage, there will be an extra smaller ship for the trainer to stand on in the background.


== Origin ==
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
[[File:CorneriaSF64.png|thumb|left|200px|Corneria City as seen in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.]]
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the [[Ω form]] replaces the Great Fox with a flat platform resembling some of the buildings in the background. Arwings and Wolfen no longer appear.
Corneria first appeared in the original ''Star Fox'' and it's sequel ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. This stage is from the ''Star Fox 64'' version of Corneria. In ''Star Fox 64's'' Corneria, the player has to fly on from the beginning of the stage to the other side of the side to confront the boss. One of the areas that the player flies through is a city named Corneria City. Corneria City is almost completely destroyed due to enemy attacks. In this stage the Great Fox takes the same route as a player would have to take through Corneria (including Corneria City). However, Corneria City in this stage is much denser and the buildings aren't destroyed.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] are set on a slightly redesigned version of ''SSB4'''s Ω form; however, it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are metallic and are unique to this form.

The [[Great Fox]] is the mobile headquarters for the Star Fox team and it is a battleship/carrier. The Great Fox first appeared in ''Star Fox 64''. The overall design of the Great Fox seen in this stage looks almost exactly as it looked in ''Star Fox 64'', but the Great Fox has been greatly scaled down. Ever since the first ''Star Fox'', the Star Fox team's main aircraft that they pilot are Arwings. The Arwings have been redesigned in ''Star Fox 64''. In this stage can be seen Arwings flying over the Great Fox. The Arwings main weapon are lasers that shoot the player's enemies. There is also an upgrade that lets the player shoot two lasers at once. The design of the Arwing are designed like they are in ''Star Fox 64'' and they shoot the upgraded lasers. In ''Star Fox 64'' there is a mercenary group called Star Wolf. The team also first appeared in ''Star Fox 64'' and they have aircraft that is similar to the Arwing called Wolfens. The design of the Wolfens in this stage resemble what how they were designed in ''Star Fox 64''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuaqVcIQAy8]
===Hazards Off===
With stage hazards disabled in ''Ultimate'', Arwings and Wolfens do not appear, and the Great Fox's cannons do not fire lasers and cannot be destroyed.


The music for this stage is, ironically, from the planet Venom in ''Star Fox'', mixed in with pieces of the main theme of ''Star Fox''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6I7ejYKztA]
== Origin ==
[[File:CorneriaSF64.png|thumb|left|200px|Corneria as seen in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.]]
The planet {{s|lylatwiki|Corneria}} first appeared in ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox|game}}'' (''Starwing'' in the PAL region) and has appeared in numerous ''Star Fox'' titles since; however, in ''[[Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'', and {{for3ds}}, this stage is based on its appearance as the first level of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' (''Lylat Wars'' in the PAL region), in which Corneria City, the capital of Corneria, is attacked by {{s|lylatwiki|Andross}}{{'}}s army. Unable to defeat the advancing army lead by Granga, {{s|lylatwiki|General Pepper}} of the Cornerian Army hires {{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox|team}} to aid them. When Star Fox arrives, they fly through the ruined city to drive off the enemy forces and later fly outside the city to locate and defeat Granga. In this stage, the Great Fox flies the same route that Star Fox takes in ''Star Fox 64''; however, Corneria City is not damaged and is more densely populated. In ''Ultimate'', Corneria City bears resemblance to its appearance in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''.


==Stage Functions==
The {{s|lylatwiki|Great Fox}}, Star Fox's mobile headquarters, acts as the main platform of the stage; the Great Fox is shown on the planet in the introduction of ''Star Fox 64'', and it is seen flying over Corneria's surface again during the end credits. Also in this stage are {{s|lylatwiki|Arwing}}s and {{s|lylatwiki|Wolfen}}, piloted by Star Fox and Star Wolf, respectively, that occasionally appear to act as small platforms. All three aircraft are based on their appearances in ''Star Fox 64'', and the Arwings apparently have one {{s|lylatwiki|Laser Upgrade}} as they fire two lasers at once as opposed to the standard one.


Arwings and Wolfens fly down to fire lasers at players, usually coming from the right hand side or from up above. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past [[blast line]]s.  The Great Fox's cannons can also damage characters, though they can be destroyed (which also stops them from functioning as a [[platform]]).
The Great Fox dipping into the water is a reference to the beginning of the {{s|lylatwiki|Aquas}} level in ''Star Fox 64'', where it partially submerges into the water to deploy the {{s|lylatwiki|Blue Marine}}.
{{clrl}}


[[Fox]] and [[Falco]] can perform a special [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|easter egg]] on this stage in which they contact other characters from the ''Star Fox'' games. It is performed by pressing down on the D-Pad for one frame.
==Tournament legality==
While it was allowed as a counterpick stage in ''Melee'' in the past, Corneria is usually banned from standard tournament rulesets because of stage hazards such as the Arwings as well as issues with [[camping]], its very low ceiling (in ''Brawl''), and wall infinites such as {{SSBM|Fox}}'s shine infinite in ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s infinite [[chain throw]] in ''Brawl'', both done against the backside of the Great Fox's dorsal wing which functions as a wall. The Great Fox's laser fire also serves as an extremely powerful stage hazard.


The level is also apparently scrolling slightly, as items that should remain stationary in the air like Flippers and Party Balls will move slowly. Also, the Great Fox's wings will sometimes touch the sea under it, though [[swim]]ming is impossible even in ''Brawl''.
After not being legal since {{Trn|GENESIS}}, Corneria was made legal for ''Melee'' tournament play at {{Trn|The Off-Season 2}} alongside the previously featured [[Mute City]] as a charity incentive.


When [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]] is used on this stage, there will be an extra smaller ship for the trainer to stand on in the background.

The fighting still takes place atop the [[Great Fox]], but it is now scaled down in size and the background is now Corneria rather than Sector Z. [[Arwing]]s still fly around and occasionally fire, but now also [[Wolfen]]s do that. The Great Fox has two destroyable laser cannons in the front; players can stand on these lasers, but they will charge and fire on occasion. Characters caught in the blast usually have [[One-hit KO|no chance of survival]]. However, one can use energy-projectile absorption moves like [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Oil Panic]] to benefit from these shots.

Article on Lylat Wiki Corneria

Announced at E3 2001, Corneria (惑星コーネリア, Planet Corneria) is a starter stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and is essentially a smaller version of Fox's old stage, Sector Z, which was in Super Smash Bros. Corneria later appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Melee stage and in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a familiar stage. In All-Star Mode in Melee, this stage is where one fights Fox and any of his teammates. This stage returns once again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, although updated to resemble the stage's appearance in Star Fox Zero. In Smash 3DS and Ultimate, Falco is fought here when being unlocked.

Stage overview[edit]

The stage is set on the Great Fox, like every other Star Fox stage released in SSB and Melee. The horizontal blast lines are very close to the main platform, and the stage has a very low ceiling in Brawl. Arwings and Wolfens fly down to fire lasers at players, usually coming from the right hand side or from up above. The lasers can damage players, but they will only make characters flinch very slightly and do no knockback, except in Smash 3DS where the shots explode on contact and can easily KO an unfortunate fighter. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past blast lines. The lasers fired by Arwings and Wolfens can be reflected or absorbed by Mr. Game & Watch, Ness, Lucas, and Mii Gunner. In a design change from Sector Z, players can stand on the Great Fox's laser cannons, but they will charge and fire on occasion. Characters caught in the crossfire usually have no chance of survival, although this was greatly toned down in Ultimate, with the charging hitbox on the gun being the main threat. However, just like the Arwings and Wolfens, one can use energy-projectile absorption moves like PSI Magnet and Oil Panic to benefit from these shots. The laser cannons can be destroyed, which stops them from being used as platforms.

Fox and Falco can perform a special easter egg on this stage in which they contact other characters from the Star Fox games. It is performed by pressing down on the D-Pad for one frame.

The level is also apparently scrolling slightly, as items that should remain stationary in the air like Flippers and Party Balls will move slowly. Also, the Great Fox's wings will sometimes touch the sea under it, though swimming is impossible even in Brawl and Ultimate.

When Pokémon Trainer is used on this stage, there will be an extra smaller ship for the trainer to stand on in the background.

Ω forms and Battlefield form[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Ω form replaces the Great Fox with a flat platform resembling some of the buildings in the background. Arwings and Wolfen no longer appear.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Ω form and Battlefield form are set on a slightly redesigned version of SSB4's Ω form; however, it is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are metallic and are unique to this form.

Hazards Off[edit]

With stage hazards disabled in Ultimate, Arwings and Wolfens do not appear, and the Great Fox's cannons do not fire lasers and cannot be destroyed.

Origin[edit]

Corneria as seen in Star Fox 64.

The planet Corneria first appeared in Star Fox (Starwing in the PAL region) and has appeared in numerous Star Fox titles since; however, in Melee, Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, this stage is based on its appearance as the first level of Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in the PAL region), in which Corneria City, the capital of Corneria, is attacked by Andross's army. Unable to defeat the advancing army lead by Granga, General Pepper of the Cornerian Army hires Star Fox to aid them. When Star Fox arrives, they fly through the ruined city to drive off the enemy forces and later fly outside the city to locate and defeat Granga. In this stage, the Great Fox flies the same route that Star Fox takes in Star Fox 64; however, Corneria City is not damaged and is more densely populated. In Ultimate, Corneria City bears resemblance to its appearance in Star Fox Zero.

The Great Fox, Star Fox's mobile headquarters, acts as the main platform of the stage; the Great Fox is shown on the planet in the introduction of Star Fox 64, and it is seen flying over Corneria's surface again during the end credits. Also in this stage are Arwings and Wolfen, piloted by Star Fox and Star Wolf, respectively, that occasionally appear to act as small platforms. All three aircraft are based on their appearances in Star Fox 64, and the Arwings apparently have one Laser Upgrade as they fire two lasers at once as opposed to the standard one.

The Great Fox dipping into the water is a reference to the beginning of the Aquas level in Star Fox 64, where it partially submerges into the water to deploy the Blue Marine.

Tournament legality[edit]

While it was allowed as a counterpick stage in Melee in the past, Corneria is usually banned from standard tournament rulesets because of stage hazards such as the Arwings as well as issues with camping, its very low ceiling (in Brawl), and wall infinites such as Fox's shine infinite in Melee and King Dedede's infinite chain throw in Brawl, both done against the backside of the Great Fox's dorsal wing which functions as a wall. The Great Fox's laser fire also serves as an extremely powerful stage hazard.

After not being legal since GENESIS, Corneria was made legal for Melee tournament play at The Off-Season 2 alongside the previously featured Mute City as a charity incentive.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Melee, Young Link's shield can be used to block laser cannons' charging hitbox by crouching on the left side very close to the right corner. This will cause them to fire lasers immediately after charging instead of pausing for a few seconds, and Young Link will not take damage and knockback.
  • The Ike grab glitch can be performed on this stage in Brawl.
  • In SSB4, using certain absorption moves from specific positions can cause the lasers fired by the ships to move in unpredictable ways, sometimes directly into opponents. [1]
  • The TEST stage, a (hence the name) testing stage in Melee uses the music of this stage.
  • Even though the stage in all of its Smash Bros. appearances give it the name Corneria, it oddly instead uses the Venom theme from the original Star Fox for the SNES.
  • CPU fighters are rather notorious for attempting to fight on the Great Fox's cannons for seemingly little reason, or in an attempt to grab items. As a result, they can often force themselves into a self-destruct due to the cannons charging or firing. This is an example of flaws in artificial intelligence.
  • In Ultimate, Corneria and Venom share the same main platform and soft platforms for their Ω form and Battlefield form.
  • In Ultimate, Nightmare and Andross cannot be summoned as Assist Trophy. Additionally, Lugia and Kyogre cannot be summoned from Poké Balls.
