<p align="center">Fast action, items flying around, jumping, sliding…no it’s not Melee, it’s Mario Kart, one of the older franchises which,at long last has a playable component in the Smash series, with the Mario Circut stage.</p>

<p align="center">Round and round and round they go, where they’ll pop up…if you pay attention, you’ll know. You might have guessed that on a racing circut, there’s going to be racers, and you can bet they aren’t going to let a few idiots fighting on the track slow them down, so you’ll have to watch out for em. You can see em come out behind you, so when they do, jump to the top platform (or hug the edge on the bottom)</p>

<p align="center">Of course, the stage is a figure 8, and we’re fighting on the crossroads, so….</p>

<p align="center">…they’ll be zooming from one of the other sides. Of this, there’s no real way you can tell when they’re coming, so you’ll need to keep a mental note of how long it takes hem between appearences to dodge. Of course Sakurai might have a brief “warning” sign or something pop up, but I’d still keep their location on a mental map.</p>

I don't know why mic, but this one has a feeling this new stage will be banned from hardcore SSBer tournaments, as it has hazards and such. Although if we reffer to normal SSB players, then they might give this stage a chance.

Me? Of course I will. I liked to play on Melee's Mute City and I think I am going to give this stage a chance.

Also, nice sub-sentences on the pictures when you leave the pointer on one place without moving it.

In the second and third pic, isn't that the map screen from Mario Kart DS? Nice little easter egg.

Nice find!
I wouldn't have found it otherwise.
Good to know how much Nintendo stuff they're putting into Brawl.
Easter Eggs are always awesome. :)


You can tell where the cars are at all times with the map behind the fighters, so no need to memorize.
Well. I was gonna say you have to be careful from the side cars
But I totally forgot about the map.
:laugh: Haha.

If I could say one word about this update it is:
FINALLY!

*Facepalm* I totally misread "You can get a general idea of their location on the screen in the back," as something like "watch the background to see the actual cars coming. Guh.

And Seiged, it's no worse than Mute City, which was legal. Personally, I like this more, the stage doesn't drop away in it.

Yeah I totally made that mistake too. I never noticed the minimap until blayde_axel said something about it.
He should have pointed out that map or used better words or something. :ohwell:

I like how they incorporated the map into this. I think this was well planned out.

I really like that there is a map in the back and you can always see where they are. Plus I love that you fight at the crossing of the 8, so they can come from more han one direction even though the stage doesn't move. I really like this stage basically.


Who's up for Wario chicken on his bike? :p

Do you really have nothing better to add to this discussion?

It must be really embarrassing being one of the people who think up the title and description to posts like these. Seriously, what are they trying to do, get a job at Nickelodeon Magazine or something?
Actually we thoroughly enjoy coming up with the witty and rather humorous titles. They have high levels of puns and remarks that we put into each of our updates. It is a good thing we're not embarrassed and you would be because we want people who get embarrassed about the title of our articles to make useless comments about how our titles are on par with Nickelodeon Magazine instead of actually contributing to the discussion of said articles.

I had actually forgotten about this stage for the time being, but I'm glad to see it's update! It ruins my theory though, as we have now gotten 2 stages from the Mario Universe (I thought every franchise was going to get 1 Music and 1 Stage Update)

Another Easter Egg, Shy Guy only races in online battles for people who don't use the DS Card in THERE DS. It's funny to see this incorporated, as the rest of the gang is off fighting each other!

Nope - on the MKDS version, it's a much tighter course in the bends, and doesn't have that little dink in the course on the top right.

But aside from that, I don't know if I'm looking forward to fighting on this stage. For me, it just looks like another stage with hazards in the background. Sorry, but this update I wasn't happy with.

Nice one man, I really appreciate that.

Wow... the screen wasn't there before. Or the mushrooms in the background. Or the flowers.

Screen was, it was just "off", greyed out. The flowers are new, yes. Trees are different. Possible rearrangement in background elements (There MIGHT be mushrooms back there, most of the shots of the stage in the video were low to the ground)

I don't know about E3, but the video that first showed it, which is viewable off the main dojo page, says Nintendo World (Nov 06)

U guys rock

I dont know how to do a quote but this a a quote of Misto's response to that rude jack *** that said whats up wit the weird post titles. Actually we thoroughly enjoy coming up with the witty and rather humorous titles. They have high levels of puns and remarks that we put into each of our updates. It is a good thing we're not embarrassed and you would be because we want people who get embarrassed about the title of our articles to make useless comments about how our titles are on par with Nickelodeon Magazine instead of actually contributing to the discussion of said articles. Forget him hes a bum man you and mic 128 do awesome posts I like you guys better than most cause I like your comments to the pics and you guys just rock keep up the awesome work guys.
