Summit
The Summit is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, acting as the Ice Climbers' stage. It takes place on a huge chunk of ice with a couple of platforms hovering above it. For the first few parts of the fight, the chunk of ice stands firmly still on the top of Icicle Mountain.[1] After a certain time passes, the stage breaks off, and lands in the water with mighty force. However, players can still fight while the stage is falling, but the stage is tilted slightly. Once the stage reaches the water, it stops tilting to and fro, and is much easier to stand on. However, this does not stop the stage from bobbing up and down.
The Polar Bear lands on the top of the stage once it has reached the water, and occasionally pushes it deeper into the water. When this happens, a large, orange fish (that actually originated in the Balloon Fight series, not in the Ice Climber series) leaps out of the water and attack other players. If the fish grabs a player in its mouth, the player is dragged below the water and lose a life. Players are able to fight under the water, so long as their feet touch the ground. Additionally, the platforms on the stage are able to flap up and down. After enough time passes, the stage rises back to the top of the mountain to repeat the cycle.
The Summit reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where its My Music library is now shared with Duck Hunt, Hanenbow, PictoChat 2, Balloon Fight, Living Room, Find Mii, Tomodachi Life, Wrecking Crew, Pilotwings, and Wuhu Island.

Trivia
- In the debug menu of Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is a stage named "IceTop", which freezes the game when selected; due to the name, it is possible that Summit (or a predecessor thereof) was planned to appear in the game.
- This is the third time the fish has appeared in the Mario franchise; the fish first appeared in the WarioWare series. In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, it appears in the microgame Balloon Fight. The fish is seen again WarioWare: Smooth Moves in another microgame called Balloon Fight, and in the unlockable minigame Balloon Trip.
