Venom is a stage that is unlocked from the start. This is also Fox and Falco's home stage, but you face Falco and his teammates on this stage in All-Star mode.

The battle takes place on the Great Fox. Unlike the Corneria stage, the fight is played on the front view of the ship. Players' characters can fight on either 4 wings of the ship, and somewhat on the tailpiece in the center of the stage. This tailpiece is also a hazard that makes it hard to go to the other side. The top two wings of the ship slope inwards while the bottom two wings slope outwards. Items tend to roll off the two bottom wings of the ship.

Once in a while an Arwing will appear and start firing at the ship then will fly off. Any character that gets hit by the shots will take damage. Also, when the ship flies into the cave, sometimes characters hits the walls of the caves when smacked upwards or towards the sides, which might save one from getting KO'd.

Due to the vertical wall in the middle of the stage (the Great Fox's fin), this stage is banned in tournaments, as Fox can infinite combo much of the cast against it. Fox and Falco also have easter egg taunts that cause Arwings to come and shoot the area.
