The Swamp (湿地,Wetlands) is the 18th level inthe Subspace Emissary inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
Overview[edit]
The stage begins withFox andDiddy Kong battling through their way through the swamp. After making it through part of the swamp, Diddy and Fox are walking and talking, but unexpectedly, a black, ethereal arrow is shot at Diddy, turning him into a trophy. Fox turns and seesBowser holding aDark Cannon, which he then shoots at Fox, but Fox dodges and slides. Bowser points to Diddy's trophy, which is then covered byShadow Bugs. Fox looks at this in a surprised state, and then turns and looks at Bowser, who is ready to make another shot at Fox. Blasts are shot around Bowser, who seems to almost trip. AnArwing flies overhead, andFalco ejects himself from it, similar to hison-screen appearance. He lands and dashes up to Bowser (possibly usingFalco Phantasm, as the sound effect for it can be heard), kicks the gun upwards, and does a flip. He lands again and starts shooting the Cannon with hisBlasters, destroying the Cannon. Bowser jumps backwards behind the bushes, lands in hisKoopa Clown Car, and flies away. After this, more Shadow Bugs flow into theFalse Diddy, which makes it grows much larger. Fox revives Diddy's trophy and a boss battle starts against the Giant False Diddy. After winning, Diddy cheers while Falco walks away. Diddy drags him back and tries to tell him what is happening, but Falco once again walks away. Diddy grabs him and drags him away in the same manner that he did with Fox; and while Falco is dragged away, Fox shrugs and follows.
The three continue through the swamp, battling many enemies, most of them being underlings from Bowser'sKoopa Troop. After making it through the swamp, Diddy, Fox, and Falco, standing at the top of a waterfall, spot a platform with Primids on it (ascending to the Isle of the Ancients) andDonkey Kong's trophy. Diddy stomps the ground, mad, but Falco glares over towards the other side of the waterfall, and theGreat Fox appears.Fox goes on his own and finds theHalberd atThe Glacial Peak, where he proceeds to battle it once again. Falco then joins the player's team.
After clearing the Subspace Emissary, the player can return to this stage, enter a newly placed red door, and be taken toPokémon Stadium 2. There, the player will fightJigglypuff. If defeated, Jigglypuff will then become unlocked as a playable character and join the player's party.
This andThe Great Maze are the only levels in The Subspace Emissary to feature theThorn Helix hazard.

Trivia[edit]
- Falco is shown using two blasters to destroy Bowser's Dark Cannon, even though he can only use one during gameplay.
- This is one of the four pre-Subspace levels which features background music not from the universe of the characters that went through it, the others beingSea of Clouds,The Ruins, andBattleship Halberd Exterior (Yoshi's Island on a level with Diddy Kong, Fox, and Falco).
- Unlike most other levels, this level does not start with a cutscene. The five levels that share this distinction areThe Plain,The Ruins,The Research Facility (Part II),The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II), andThe Great Maze.
- Despite the name of the level being "The Swamp", it looks much more like a lake.
