'''Shadow Moses Island''' ({{ja|シャドーモセス島|Shadō Mosesu-shima}}, ''Shadow Moses Island'') is a {{uv|Metal Gear}} series stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was officially recognized in the October 2, 2007 [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] update, having appeared before that in many trailers and screenshots. The stage was developed by [[Hideo Kojima]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2006-07-31-kojima-to-design-snakes-smash-bros-brawl-stage.html|title=Kojima to design Snake's Smash Bros.

== | ==Overview== | ||
The stage consists of two floors: the ground floor, which is completely solid, and the upper floor, which is [[Soft platform|soft]]. There are watchtowers on each side, acting as vertical walls which prevent horizontal [[KO]]s. Each watchtower also has a soft platform attached to it, the height of which is halfway between the lower and upper floors, assisting in navigation between the floors. | The stage consists of two floors: the ground floor, which is completely solid, and the upper floor, which is [[Soft platform|soft]].

In the aforementioned game, the facility's searchlights are focused on the helipad itself. If Snake is caught by the light, his cover is blown and guards are called to kill him. The searchlights remain focused on him until he finds somewhere to hide. Ever since ''Metal Gear Solid'', if the player is seen by security, the trademark exclamation point is displayed over the enemy's head, and the corresponding sound effect plays. By ''{{s|wikipedia|Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots}}'', the island is sinking under the Pacific Ocean due to global warming, including the facility now left deserted a decade after the Shadow Moses Incident. Its design in ''Smash'' is slightly different than the original game: the staircases are missing, the truck that was parked in front of the building is gone, and the height of the searchlight towers have been extended. If a player gets caught by the searchlights in ''Smash'', an exclamation point will appear over the player who got caught, and the same sound can be heard. The searchlights will also follow that player for a short time. | ||
The island returns throughout the series, from flashbacks, a.k.a. SCENEs, in the Déjà Vu mission of ''{{s|wikipedia|Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes}}'', to a playable stage in the multiplayer game and second iteration of ''{{s|wikipedia|Metal Gear Online}}''. A replica of the tank hangar, including its cavern section, appear in ''{{s|wikipedia|Death Stranding: Director's Cut}}'' along with a mission who references the ''Metal Gear'' series all throughout, such as [https://deathstranding.fandom.com/wiki/Sam Sam] using a [[Cardboard box]] the wrong way. | |||

In ''Metal Gear Solid'', Snake was first commissioned out of retirement to infiltrate the facility to destroy a nuclear capable mech, Metal Gear REX, before Liquid Snake could launch its nuke. In ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', the U.S. Marine Corps designed a new Metal Gear called Metal Gear RAY. It was designed as a counter to the immense amount of Metal Gear REX derivatives being constructed around the world. Both REX and RAY have a chance of appearing in the background of this stage; however, RAY never appeared on Shadow Moses Island until ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'', where Snake and Liquid Ocelot fight each other using REX and RAY. | In ''Metal Gear Solid'', Snake was first commissioned out of retirement to infiltrate the facility to destroy a nuclear capable mech, Metal Gear REX, before [https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Liquid_Snake Liquid Snake] could launch its nuke.

Unlike REX and RAY, Gekkos | In ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'', there is a class of mass-produced mechs called Gekkos. Unlike REX and RAY, Gekkos are not able to launch nukes, therefore they are not considered as true Metal Gears. In the aforementioned game, Gekkos appear on Shadow Moses Island. The design of the Gekkos in ''Smash'' resembles their appearance in ''Guns of the Patriots''; however, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was first released on January 31, 2008 in Japan, while ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' was released internationally on June 12, 2008, making ''Brawl'' the first game that Gekkos appear in. | ||

*When the Poison Cloud hazard is active during the Liquid Snake Spirit Battle, the back wall is removed. This can be seen during the wall breaking sequence by the fact that flames can be seen through the lower level which normally can only be seen through the hole in the upper level. The entire body of a Gekko can also be seen if it gets close enough, even parts that should be obscured behind the wall. This is likely done so the thick fog effect for the background is not blocked by the wall. | *When the Poison Cloud hazard is active during the Liquid Snake Spirit Battle, the back wall is removed.
