Offical Past Stages Discussion

Jigglymaster · Aug 6, 2007

Okay, so what stages are returning. Do the N64 stages still have a chance of returning?

And what Melee stages are returning? I would like to see Dreamland N64 return and Mute City from SSBM. And seeing that this is the third series? How many past stages will we get. So many questions, so little time.

Discuss.

Wii4Mii 99 · Aug 6, 2007

Mute City is technically in Brawl in the form of Delfino Plaza and the Mario Kart stage.

I have a feeling Princess Peach's Castle and Corneria will return.

Until wii meet again,

I'd like to see (at minimum): Hyrule Castle 64, Saffron City or similar, Dreamland64, Fountain of Dreams, Corneria, and Mute City. Others include Rainbow Cruise, Big Blue, Pokefloats, Onett, Kongo Jungle, and Great Bay (even though I didn't like it too much...just for the tribute to MM).

NO DREAMLAND 64 SON! i will welcome mute city with open arms to. and i pray that corneria will return

Proteus · Aug 6, 2007

Hyrule Castle is my biggest wish. I'm guessing that 5 past stages could make it as well. Seems like a good number.

_the_sandman_ · Aug 6, 2007

64 - Princess Peach's Castle, Saffron City, and Hyrule Castle.

Melee - Pokemon Stadium, Onett, and Fountain of Dreams

CORRUPTiON · Aug 6, 2007

I'm hoping for Dream Land 64 and FoD.

Endless Nightmares · Aug 6, 2007

I hope Final Destination is reincarnated in some way in Brawl. Dreamland 64's a classic, hope that makes it back in as well.

Fox_Rocks · Aug 6, 2007

I hope Saffron City (from 64) returns. That stage was/is pretty awesome.

I'd also like to see Corneria (from Melee) back. Hopefully this time the Great Fox can be as big as it was in 64 again.

One more I'd like to see is Onnett (Melee).

Thunderslf · Aug 6, 2007

The SSB Mushroom Kingdom was so much better than SSBM's, it had pipes and a cooler background.

DH_Ninja · Aug 6, 2007

there will more then likely be another corneria stage, since it went from the sector one to corneria. it may not have the corneria background, but there will probably be one.

Jigglymaster · Aug 6, 2007

I can see Coneria, they already confirmed Pokemon Stadium and BattleField. Maybe FoD or Peach's Castle SSBM.

OmegaXXII · Aug 6, 2007

definetly want to see the following:

Final Destination
Brinstar
Hyrule Temple
Saffron City
Battlefield (from melee)

these stages I believe might have a chance to make it back as a new stages, if not a classic stage,

Pieman0920 · Aug 6, 2007

From SSB

Peach's Castle
Saffron City
Hyrule Castle

Those are the three from that game that were sorely missing from the last game, and should have been in. They probably were not included though, due to DK, Yoshi, and Kirby only getting one character each. (As opposed to 5, 4, and 4 for Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon respectively.) It would be great to see these three stages show up again though. (Although, I kinda want an updated Saffron City. >.>)

SSBM

Big Blue
Peach Castle
Corneria

Big Blue is on my list there simply because of how awesome it is in general. Also, how could they pull that off with another stage? It's just to perfect. The other two stages are there because they are basically the best representation of those locations that can really be provided. Although I would like the Great Fox to be more like it was in Sector X, it's still works well enough in Melee.

psicicle · Aug 6, 2007

I want final destinationin some form and dreamland 64, my 2 favorite stages in melee.

DH_Ninja · Aug 7, 2007

many of you may disagree with me, but i want to see an improved fountain of dreams.

Bassoonist · Aug 7, 2007

I like most of the stages from Melee so it's really hard to pick what I want.

From N64:
Hyrule Castle
Saffron City
Dreamland 64 (I still love it!)

From Melee:
Anything BUT the Ice Climber's stage. I don't think the character should be removed, they need a new, better, stage.

vesperview · Aug 7, 2007

I think they should make other stages from the original smash return rather than the ones that returned in Melee, like the Pokemon stage from N64, that was my favorite.

psicicle · Aug 7, 2007

the best would probably be just having every past stage in, that way everyone can be happy. But that probably won't happen.

And the IC stage in melee is (IMO) the worst stage ever.

Dynamism · Aug 7, 2007

SAFFRON CITY!!!!
Nothing more needs to be said...

BlueScope · Aug 7, 2007

I only hope Hyrule Temple will make it, because if there'll be compareable big stages in Brawl, they'll most likely be stuffed with scripts and events and whatnot... Also, I think the different areas in Temple were kinda unique... I doubt you could easily recreate that in another stage. Ah, Temple is just my favourite stage ever... and I still don't understand how you guys could ban it

(didn't kept me from playing it in the last years, though ^^ )
Other than that, we need a FD-like stage, of course... that Stadium stage that can be seen in the most recent video seems to be kinda similar, so if it is, no FD.

And for stages like Corneria that have been constantly updated throughout the series: I hope there'll be a new version of it rather than just the old stage put in...

Its banned in tournys because a Fox can just run away from the opponent and they will never be able to catch up to them.

DH_Ninja · Aug 7, 2007

He showed me. its really stupid, anyway, i thought i t was banned due to its size. also, wouldn't running be considered stalling. i think dreamland 64 will comeback, but be graphically updated, cause i don't think it would look right with brawls graphics.

master_link12 · Aug 7, 2007

If there is no great fox stage in brawl I would like to see corneria returning. My other two choices would be temple and fountain of dreams. From the 64 I would only like safron city and maybe hyrule castle.

lanky_gunner · Aug 7, 2007

all i really want to see return is Hyrule Castle, Saffron City (both from 64), and Hyrule Temple (melee)

and as a secondary, maybe sector z from 64

upex · Aug 7, 2007

Safferon City is the most amazing stage and should be brought back.

metallic shadow · Aug 7, 2007

ssb64:
kirbys dream land N4
yoshis island N4
links castle(or whatever its named) N4

ssb melee:
big blue
poke floats

Does anyone have a picture of this stage? I never played the 64 one so I have no idea what it's like.

susu_atari · Aug 7, 2007

I don't know if the 64 stages will make a comeback, simply due to the large difference in graphical quality between the 64 and the Wii, but it's not impossible, although, I would like them to re-texture them, to help them fit in a bit better.
As for the stages returning from Melee, I think they will add the most original stages. I can definately see Flatzone making a comeback, as well as Brinstar Depths, as I feel these were the most innovative and original stages. I'd also hope for a return of Termina - Great Bay, which is simply my favourite.

Also, apologies to Jigglymaster for accidentally stealing his thread (I'm just a newb, after all)

Also, I'd nominate this thread for sticky, if Jigglymaster makes a nice big list of all the stages from the previous games, and outlines the main opinions on the reasons for the stage's comeback.

ps. not to go on too long, but I think we could do with a poll here.

SubparSmashBrother · Aug 7, 2007

I don't think many stages will make it back per se, but I do see some of the themes reincorperated into brand new stages. For example, Icicle Mountain's moving theme on Jungle Beat, and of course the previously mentioned themes of Delfino Plaza and Mario Kart taken from that one F-zero stage(whose name escapes me right now for some reason)

That said, I would like both of DK's melee stages to return, as well as Great Bay. Hyrule was the only safe, fun place to play Giant Melee, so if that returns it should too!

Though it may not look like much, the signature feature of the stage was the fact that Pokemon came out of that box like building on the center stage. :O

WHO?AreYou · Aug 7, 2007

I loved Saffron City.... such good times.
I'd love to see Saffron, Hyrule Castle, and the original Corneria return to Brawl. Melee's Corneria was a bit too small for my liking. I prefer the vastness of the original. Either way, Corneria will return in some shape or form. Likewise I'm guessing Dreamland 64 will be back.
As for Melee stages... I'd bring back Fourside (I always loved that stage), FoD, Jungle Japes (it may be a pain when you get caught by the river and smashed into by a croc, but I still like it), Peach's Castle, Great Bay (come on....TURTLE!) and Hyrule. Though Hyrule is near useless in competitve play (campers anyone?) it's still a blast to run into the basement with your friends in a 4 man melee and tech off the walls. That's what I like most about Hyrule. There is a ceiling and walls. I hope that this idea will be expanded in brawl. Because while open air stages are fun, nothing is more fun that being blasted away at 350% and teching off the ceiling.
On a side note, I wonder what the sizes of most of these Brawl stages will be. SSB64 had HUGE stages, and it was a much slower paced game in general. Melee has significantly smaller stages and was much faster paced. I'm thinking that Brawl will strike a happy medium between the tiny stages of melee(Yoshi's Island/Flatzone) and the huge ones of SSB64 (Corneria, Brinstar).

frankisvital · Aug 7, 2007

I think Hyrule Temple would be amazing to look at...

Revven · Aug 7, 2007

Hmm...let's see.

Dreamland 64, Fountain of Dreams, Hyrule Temple, Mushroom Kingdom 64 (blows the Melee one out of the water with the pipes!), Hyrule Castle 64, Brinstar Depths, Fourside, Mute City, and ... Big Blue. Every other stage is already going to reappear as a new one. Which, keeps me satisfied. Oh and maybe Saffron City if they can make it better.

psicicle · Aug 7, 2007

ehhh saffron city looks like a fourside. I never really liked that stage.

SpitFire15 · Aug 8, 2007

Saffron City was cool, but I hope they recreate another version of it in Brawl.

If I had the chance to choose which Melee stages make a comeback, they would be Corneria, Hyrule Temple, and Mute City. Those stages were absolute classics in my view.

ZenJestr · Aug 8, 2007

from SSB I hope they bring back:
Dreamland
Saffron City
Hyrule Castle
Sector Z

from SSBM I hope they bring back.....actually...none of them...but I hope they re-do the themes of the stages like they did with Jungle Falls and Delfino Plaza...I hope that Hyrule Temple turns into the Great Palace from the same game(Zelda II)...for example....

Sugoi · Aug 8, 2007

Final Destination
Brinstar
Hyrule Temple
Saffron City

I really wanna see those make a return.

Blobulator · Aug 8, 2007

Stages from SSB64:
Saffron City
Hyrule Castle
Name escapes me but I think it was Peach's Castle (Yes, the 64 version

)

I don't know why but I just loved Peach's Castle for some reason, and actually found the Melee version sort of a let down (although I know the 64 version didn't make much sense, but it was hilarious, heh XD)

Stages from SSBM:
Hyrule Temple (no other stage like it)
Big Blue (again, incredibly unique)
Brinstar Depths (the one with Kraid, not sure if I got the name right, my mind just went blank - just thought the spinning of it was also unique)

I know some of these may not be very practical but they were awesome in their own odd ways :chuckle:

Corneria and Brinstar will most likely be back in some form, although I don't know whether they'll be remade (again) or used as past stages. Either way they'll be back.

poke floats,anyone?
