I thought it'd be cool if we got a stage discussion going. I, personally, don't have trouble on any stage and I don't think Diddy has any 'bad' stages, but I'll start week 1 off with Rainbow Cruise since some Diddys still have trouble here.
So some things about the stage and tips:
The boat is probably your best place to be and where you should feel most comfortable. It's the closest thing to a neutral on this stage. I like to take advantage of the wall with dtilt locks, grab tech chases, and banana locks. The mini slopes are pretty good for side-b'ing because it makes it go off angle a little bit and is pretty good to catch your opponent offguard. I like to stay on the main part of the ship, off the platforms and the upper deck part just to take advantage of the wall, but if you get a peel or 2 with your opponent on there it's a free smash or two. I also like to popgun if the opponent is up there.
When you get off the ship, I like to stay to right and try and get the opprotunity to Uthrow stage spike people off those log things that fall if you stay on it, that or rocket barrel it under the magic carpet. Then I get onto the flat platfrom above it since it's flat until the pendulum arrives. The pendulum is kinda like a fast no platformed LC, and I like it because you can hit people who SH aerial on it since you go even with them when tited. After that, I try to be the first person to the wall after it spawns and camp the upper platform and Uthrow glide toss bananas. It's also cool when your opponent gets gimped because they slip on those falling log things. Afterwards it's decently flat with some platforms and slopes and the falling log things again, I also try to make the far right log fall if my opponent camps the wall below the stage while the stage is going back to the boat, and I'll take out my bananas while falling, then rinse and repeat =).
