Pirate Ship is a recurring stage in the Super Smash Bros. series. It first appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, then in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a downloadable stage, and then in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The stage takes place at the Great Sea from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and the fighters are fighting on Tetra's Pirate Ship as it sails along the sea. Besides the main floor of the ship, there are two upper platforms that fighters can also fight from.
On occasion, Tetra's Pirate Ship passes a lookout platform, which shoots bombs at the Pirate Ship. Any fighter to get hit by the bomb takes heavy damage. Fighters can jump into the water around Tetra's Pirate Ship, but any fighter who touches the front of the ship while in the water gets KO'd automatically. A catapult comes up from the front of Tetra's Pirate Ship on occasion, and anyone standing on it is sent flying. For a short time, the King of Red Lions follows the Pirate Ship, and it can be used as another small, usable platform. At times, the weather goes from sunny to stormy, during which a whirlwind appears to throw Tetra's Pirate Ship up above the clouds. Shortly after, the ship starts to fall back down, and during this the gravity decreases, giving fighters the ability to jump a bit higher and to stay airborne for slightly longer. Sometimes the ship runs into a small, rocky island, and it docks itself partially backward while pointing at an upper-left angle. The island eventually sinks back into the water, and Tetra's Pirate Ship corrects itself and sets sail once more.
In both Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Pirate Ship stage has an Omega form, and it takes place on a lookout platform instead of Tetra's Pirate Ship, which is instead shown to be sailing in the background. Like in the standard stage, the weather also changes during the Omega form, but has no effect on the fighters. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the lookout platform is protruding above the sea, but in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is a platform sitting on the sea. While some of the lookout platform's background features have been retained, parts such as the small roof with the skull have been removed.
