MARTIANSNAKE'S BIG DISNEY PLATFORM FIGHTER THOUGHT DUMP PROJECT. Part 4:
Our journey continues with a break from roster discussion. Today I'll be talking about stages.
Specifically, stages from disney parks.
More specifically, stages from disneyland.
As a preface, here's a discussion point I've been thinking about a lot. What if the stages were all from disney parks? It's certainly an interesting idea, and one I'd find pretty inspired if real devs went for it. There's a lot of iconic attractions and landmarks throughout the parks, and stages based on movies could still happen, if they had a ride.
While I'm really fond of the concept, I won't be going forward with it for my own thought dump. There's lots of movies out there that don't fit the criteria. I will give the idea some nodding whenever I can though, expect a lot of ride-themed stages in the future.
Anyways, let's get to the main event!
The next few stages are gonna be based on individual rides from the lands mentioned above. Although I'm counting Disney Castle as a Fantasyland attraction.
Thank you for reading! If you have any thoughts, let me know!

Anyways, let's get to the main event!
- Disney Castle - The obvious first pick for a stage, this would take inspiration from Prism Tower. A traveling stage that stops on and around at various points around the iconic castle.
- Fantasyland - A simple battlefield clone that hovers above Fantasyland, you can see a lot of the iconic rides down below.
- Adventureland - This is your standard hazardless Pokemon Stadium clone, floating above the jungles of Adventureland.
The next few stages are gonna be based on individual rides from the lands mentioned above. Although I'm counting Disney Castle as a Fantasyland attraction.
- Jungle Cruise - One of the big classic disney rides. Jungle Cruise would be a simple slow-paced moving stage, occasionally a hippo or crocodile would rise out of the water to act as a smaller platform. But most of the action would be on the boat itself.
- Big Thunder Mountain - I knew I wanted one of the disney mountains to be a stage, and this strikes me as the best choice. It would have a main platform resting diagonally, with two or three semi-solids above. The train would occasionally speed through as a powerful stage hazard.
- Alien Encounter - I struggled for a long time coming up with a good Tomorrowland stage, but I finally settled on this iconic defunct attraction. The main stage would be simple enough with a few moving semi-solids. And you'd watch the events of the "show" play out behind you. Including the alien's escape. After this point lights would flicker and platforms would electrify, among other things.
- Haunted Mansion - This stage doesn't have a counterpart for the land it's typically found in. And I don't have many ideas for layout or anything like that, but c'mon. It's the Haunted Mansion! It's incredibly iconic and beloved by fans of all ages. And I do genuinely believe if a disney platform fighter were to only have 10 stages, Haunted Mansion would NEED to be one of them.
