Big Blue is an F-Zero themed stage featured in Melee. This stage is played on an F-Zero track when players have to use Captain Falcon's ship, F-Zero racers, and hovering objects as platforms. If a player falls on the track beneath the racers, the player will start speeding to the left and be KO'd, unless the player quickly jumps back to safety. At other times, there is no track under the racers, and a fall at that time would result in death. The background scrolls incredibly fast and death upon hitting the track is nearly instantaneous. Items that float in mid-air (eg: flippers) are also affected by the stage's movement, scrolling to the left.

The stage is banned in SSBM tournament play, and it is expected to be banned in SSBB play as well.

Big Blue also appears as a Melee Stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Trivia

• This is the only non-past stage in Melee not used in All-Star.
• In Brawl, Sonic can run on the ground of this stage and survive if he is wearing a bunny hood; in fact, he is fast enough to run off the right side of the stage.
• In Brawl, Wario can also survive running on the ground of this stage if he is riding his Wario Bike as Wario Man.
• In Brawl, Fox's Landmaster Tank can survive riding on the ground (it apparently gets pushed along by the racers).
• In Brawl, floating items no longer go flying off the screen, and Bumpers can't be placed in midair.
