Halberd: Difference between revisions

'''Halberd''' is one of the stages that appearedappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', based on [[Meta Knight]]'s [[wikirby:Halberd|battleship of the same name]] from the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], which first appears in ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]''. The stage itself is based on [[wikirby:Revenge of Meta Knight|Revenge of Meta Knight]], the game from ''Kirby Super Star'' the Halberd appears in. The ship is named after a Swedish axe-like weapon, as well as the developer of the ''Kirby'' series, [[HAL Laboratory]].

The stage starts inside of a hanger, the floor opening to reveal a platform that is similar in design to the [[Battlefield]] stage. The platform then raises and flies around the Halberd as it takes off over the ocean, where the stage is primarily set. Later in the stage, the platform lands on the Halberd itself. The stage continues to be a Battlefield-type stage; however, the background has an added gimmick. The Combo Cannon, a double-barreled battery with an extendable robot arm, is in the background. It will occasionally shoot raylaser beams, missilescannonballs, and even attack with its robot arm. This causes severe problems for the fighters if they are unlucky or targeted. Players must use this strategy to make the weapons hit their opponents.

The stage reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In this incarnation, the stage can only be played with four players in its normal form, but with a maximum of eight players in its Omega form. The Omega form of the stage is set entirely on the base platform that flies around the Halberd. The Halberd reappersreappears as a stage as well as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
