This is an average for Kirby, no real advantage or disadvantage on this stage, you can shark characters under the platforms, and is a good starter to start out on some characters like King Dedede or Ganondorf, and a bad starter with characters like Marth or Toon Link.
Pros: Basic starter, Kirby's small enough to use his short hops and shark under the platforms nearly all the time. Also this stage is great to use his Up Throw to kill since the top platform is high enough. Most charcters will die from Kirby's Up Throw by at least 140% or so.
Cons: Kirby's air moves are very limited on this stage, there are some characters that can perform on this stage much better than Kirby can. This stage isn't the best starter for Kirby, and not a good counter pick for most characters.
Brinstar

Change: ★★★★☆
This is a good stage for Kirby, he can shark under the stage and the platforms, and use the breakable areas at his advantage, most of the characters he can handle here but a few select characters that can fully use this stage.
Pros: Kirby can abuse by sharking under the stage, using his strings combo's to connect with the breakable areas, etc. Great place to Brawl some of Kirby's bad match up like Ice Climbers, because this stage messes with their chain grab most of the time, (at the right area).
Cons: Some characters can abuse this stage more better like Snake, Fox, Mr. Game & Watch, Peach, Jigglypuff, etc. Nothing on this stage is too bad for Kirby, just you have to watch who you take here.

Part Three
Currently ★★★
Change: None
This stage changes in the same order all the time, you should be aware that the different changes means you have to Brawl differently.
Pros: The top of the castle of the stage you can able to take advantage of it more than most characters, and the basement you can take advantage on most characters of your fighting here as well since it only tilts a little.
Cons: Not a real advantage stage, but an average stage for Kirby to pick, plus the thrown room is Kirby's worst area thanks to him not able to abuse it really well. Other than that, not many characters can abuse this stage, and Kirby's not one of those characters that can.
Delfino Plaza
Currently ★★★★★
Change: None
Currently ★★★★★
Change: None
This stage is one of the best stage for Kirby to go, (well, there a hand full of characters that do well here). You can use many ways to abuse this stage and think of other ways to mess with your opponents.
Pros: You can shark pass the stage, make use of Stone on some parts of the stage, and able to gimp characters with two jumps really well here.
Cons: Watch out who you take here, characters like Meta Knight, Ness, Ganondorf, and Ike can do really well here, all the characters listed except for Meta Knight are excellent spikers and do well on this stage. Other than that, this stage have just about no disadvantage for Kirby.
Distant Planet
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Good stage for Kirby to mess with more than half the Brawl rouster. This stage won't give you a big advantage, but it's still good to try a stage that's different than others.
Pros: You can able to gimp, and shark here.
Cons: There's not enough parts of the stage to abuse. And characters with good recovery does good here which will be annoying to deal with if you bring them here.
Frigate Orpheon
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★★
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★★
Good counter pick on some characters that have bad recovery on the sides, when the stage flips it's not too much of an advantage, but over all, Kirby does good here and can mess with some of his bad match up's.
Pros: Gimping is more effective on characters with very limited recovery, and when flipping, Kirby won't be effected when this stage flips thanks to his large amount of jumps.
Cons: Some characters can abuse this stage better like R.O.B. or King Dedede. Also, there's not many things to abuse this stage with Kirby.
Final Destination
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★☆
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★☆
The most picked stage of all stages, and almost every character does advantage here, and sadly, Kirby does advantage here to.
Pros: Kirby don't have to worry about the lip of the stage that messes with some characters recovery.
Cons: Some characters can abuse this stage more, mostly spammers with great projectiles that can be a pain to deal with once you bring them here.
Green Greens
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★★
Currently ★★★
Change: ★★★★
This stage is almost always ban so you won't see much action here, but you can still practice on this stage to surprise some of the people you fight.
Pros: You can able to kill some characters fast on this stage, plus gimping is very effective towards some characters as well.
Cons: Some characters do very well here like heavy weight characters since it's hard to kill them here, and most heavy characters have strong knock back as well. Also the small zones can lead to your death fast so beware.
Halberd
Change: ★★★★
Currently ★★★☆The ship that Kirby once sunk has finally came back. Kirby has control over this ship over most characters, and watching the view of this stage is relaxing as well.
Pros: You can shark most of the time on this stage, plus the platforms lead to traps on some characters if Kirby's under it, that includes the fight on the ship.
Cons: Some characters do very like characters with great spacing, (Marth, Mr. Game & Watch, Meta Knight etc), over all, this stage doesn't have much of a con for Kirby, just have to watch who you take here.
Change: ★★★★
Jungle Japes
Currently ★★★★☆
Change: ★★★★★
Currently ★★★★☆
Change: ★★★★★
The return stage with a large advantage that most of the cast do not have. Use the water at your advantage and conquer your mightiest foes here.
Pros: You can Kirbycide any characters to the water on the left side of the stage, they will either get sweepet away by the water current, or punished them for jumping out the water and trying to come back. Also the size of this stage can make star KO's very hard. The air space is perfect for Kirby to use his combos.
Cons: Do not take Falco and Jigglypuff here, since both of those characters do very well here. Other than that, there's no cons here.
Luigi's Mansion
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Luigi's scary mansion once again returns. Take any advantage you see and make it your own, even when it means to keep the house in shape to live longer.
Pros: Kirby's small body can able to combo many characters in this stage. Some characters do really bad her so take this stage for a test ride sometimes.
Cons: Most of the time, match's will take a long time, especially with campy or defensive characters. Some characters that can use the pillars has their own hit box better than Kirby's will also be a problem.
Lylat Cruise
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Currently ★★★★
Change: None
Fox's Cruiser after the Great Fox was destroyed in Star Fox Assault. Take head of this ship with some unique Stone Kirby action, or U-Air if you want.
Pros: This stage tilts and works for Kirby's Stone tactics. Also the tilting can mess up some characters recovery, since Kirby has great recovery, he doesn't have to worry about it unless he loses all his jumps.
Cons: Not really advantages on most characters, but a medium size of the character rouster. Other than that, not really any cons here.
