This stage is commonly banned in ''Brawl'' due to the randomness of the stage, with players not always being taken to the same stops every game. Additionally, there are overly powerful stage hazards in the cars (which can KO most characters under 50%) which can be difficult to see coming due to the dull colors and their speed. As well, the main platform has no grabbable ledges and can be passed through from underneath, allowing some characters, most notably [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]], to freely [[sharking|shark]] under the stage and edgeguard much easier, while crippling the recoveries of those with weaker or [[tether]] based recoveries.  The stage has seen some usage when Meta Knight is banned, almost always on 7 starter stage lists as a counterpick, but it is usually still prefered to leave it banned.
