Port Town Aero Dive
Port Town Aero Dive (shortened to Port Town in European translations) is a recurring location in the F-Zero series and Captain Falcon's home town appearing as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, specifically based upon the variation of the Port Town track in F-Zero GX. It is very similar to Mute City from Super Smash Bros. Melee, as the stage is merely a group of platforms hovering across an F-Zero race course at high speeds. Like Mute City, the platforms will eventually stop, forcing the players to fight on the race course, rather than the platforms. Occasionally, the platforms will hover off the track itself, but it will eventually come back to the track. F-Zero Racers will sometimes drive past the fighters while they are on the track and can run into them to damage them, just like in Mute City. However, unlike in Mute City, the F-Zero Racers on this stage can't be attacked, and they can easily KO at below 100% damage.
The Ω form of the stage takes place on the touring platform. The platform is thicker than usual and it now has grabbable ledges and it can not be passed through from below. F-Zero racers sometimes appear in the background, and the platform does not stop at a particular location.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the unlock match for Captain Falcon takes place here.

Trivia
- A giant statue of R.O.B. can be seen on the track. This Easter egg is also on the F-Zero GX track that the stage is based on.
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the R.O.B. model more closely resembles that of the playable R.O.B.[1]
- None of the songs featured in My Music in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U have ever played on a Port Town track in any of the F-Zero games.
