Description:

This stage was featured and sent out to all Super Smash Brothers Brawl owners on March 19, 2008.

This stage consists of falling platforms in the center of the stage, along with blocks on the side, preventing sideways KOs. The makes one large ferris wheel near the top of the stage the most ideal place for battling. Also you can't just stay on that perch above the stage, as it is blocked by spikes. This stage is one that requires you to stay on your toes at all times. In this stage, the tide of the battle can change very quickly.

First off, as skyward KOs are your only option, I would recommend using a character with a strong A-Up attack, such as Lucas. However, this game was designed so that the more you use a single technique the less powerful it becomes. So, don't just use the A-Up attack. Weaken your foe with some specials and other techniques, before charging up with the A-Up Smash Attack. Also, Lucas' Final Smash would be ideal here as well. The tight fighting space makes his PK Starstorm quite hard to avoid, to the point where a player may have to choose between either being hit by the PK Starstorm or getting stuck in the middle while dying from the falling block. However, only perform the final smash on the ferris wheel, or else you will self-destruct from the falling blocks.

Another ideal choice would be Jigglypuff. As players will need to take high amounts of damage before they can be KO'd in the only possible way, a sing will put foes out long enough so you can perform a sleep and blast them off the stage. However, do not attempt this unless you are on the ferris wheel. If you do this while on the falling platforms, either then sing or the rest will may cause you to fall to certain death. And even if you are physically able to make it back up after a Sing attack, a smart opponent may be able to box you in using the other falling platforms. Jigglypuff's final smash is hit or miss here. It's usually used to push enemies out of the stage from the side, but that's not an option here. However, it might just trap other opponents between Jigglypuff's massively large body and a falling block, forcing them to go down. However, Jigglypuff would not be credited for the kill in that sort of scenario.

Out of these two, I would recommend using Lucas, as it's a bit harder to perform the Sing-Rest combo than it is to perform a simple A-Up Smash with Lucas. Not to mention performing that combo with Jigglypuff can be a bit risky with all the falling platforms around.
