Spear Pillar is the best thing ever, and the lasers aren't stupid, they're cool.
I loved Spear Pillar SO MUCH! It was fun to force people to get in the lasers, but I understand the point of the competitive scene here, but still, it's a very fun stage. All my friends hates when Palkia was the pokémon (and the nightmare of them is returning as pokéball this time LOL).
My favorite pokémon hazard was Dialga. I can predict when it will jump on the stage to attack players, them a grab my opponents and throw them there.
I'm really not a big fan of Wario but, looking back, my dislike of him as a character and as a franchise only really started after his games became minigame fests. The one Warioland game I played briefly (I think it was Wario's Woods actually) I rather enjoyed.
Wow, that'd be fantastic! Thanks in advance!
Am I the only person that likes both Wario series and appreciate them for what they are? I think WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the best game on the Wario series as a whole, followed by Wario Land: Shake It! and then WarioWare: Touched.
I'll have to disagree with you on this one, Bridges, yes, Cresselia's ridiculous and I wish she wasn't part of the stage (Specially because she doesn't have anything to do with Spear Pillar, Darkrai would've been a much better fit) but I can't bring myself to ignore the perfect representation of the location as a Smash stage, the memorable visuals, the amazing music, the attention to the source material (Aside from Cresselia, again), I mean, Arceus on the starry sky because you get to find him there!? Amazing! You also have the cave representing the insides of Mt. Coronet and the place where Dialga/Palkia appear has those hieroglyphics! Spear Pillar's my favorite Smash stage simply because it does everything a stage should do to represent the source material properly, and I'm REALLY, REALLY angry Spear Pillar's not coming back, it would've been awesome to have a Giratina version of the stage taking place in the Distortion World, maybe fighters being able to walk on walls and stuff.
sakurai said it would be all stages bar final destination which leads me to believe the FD variations wont be featured
10 is other able but you can just put down 1.
Opps sorry....veteran stages are allowedJust to check, do they all have to be new stages? I ask because I REALLY want to see Dreamland return.
EDIT: And the promised stage:
Glittertown is a solid stage all the way down, with its main platform roughly the size of but a little taller than FD.
From time to time, two spots, equidistant from the middle, will bubble for a bit and then erupt with water spouts. These will act much like platforms/walls and will carry the player upwards if stood on as they're rising but, should a player be on the bubbles at the exact moment they change into water spouts, said player will be catapulted sky high. This is semi-random, with bubbling of either, both or neither spout randomly occurring at set intervals. It could potentially be quite disruptive but is easily avoided due to the clear forewarning.
More important, however, are the lights at the side of the stage. These have three main positions that they will move very slowly between. In these positions, they will illuminate the otherwise invisible platforms, making them solid. This means that the very layout of the stage will be affected by their movement.
They begin by enabling use of a single middle platform almost 2 blocks above the stage but change to 2 outer and ever so slightly lower platforms, back to the middle and then down to a low pair used for recovery. This cycle continues slowly and endlessly throughout the whole match.
If you wanted, this stage could be extended to each side and have a background slot machine on either side between the edges of the stage and the platforms. Were it to do so, these would be entirely scenery except when hit where they would have a 33% chance to drop a random non-smash ball item, 33% to drop a trophy/sticker and 33% to do nothing. This would change to 50/50 trophy/sticker or nothing with items turned off.
), but I would just love the stage for that. I think it's because it feels like you're on that location, but I'm not the type of guy that like simple stages even though battlefield in melee and final destination had very good background.
Dude, that is awesome, I love it! Thank you so much for your effort (and for even drawing some concept art). I especially like your idea that the hidden platforms should become only solid when illuminated by the spotlights, which is probably far better (and more fun) than my memorization idea. (Not exactly canon, maybe, but who cares – it's Smash, after all.)Just to check, do they all have to be new stages? I ask because I REALLY want to see Dreamland return.

Well, different strokes for different folks, I guess. Don't get me wrong - the WarioWare series offers some cool party game titles that me and my friends had lot of fun with, and I certainly like them, but they just don't give me that distinct Wario vibe that I love so much. (Also, no Captain Syrup to be found in these games. Boo.) But yeah, both series definitely have their merits - they are just totally different kind of beasts.
The platform mechanics there are indeed non-canon but, like you, I viewed it better for gameplay that they work that way and it's still in keeping with the original feel.
Fair enough, can't really argue with your design choices, anyway. I personally fell in love with the idea of having a Smash stage based on this particular level, but as you said, it is a tad difficult to find a design that's not too busy and actually functional from a gameplay perspective while doing the overall vibe of Glittertown justice. I can definitely see your concept working though, so thank you for giving my pipe-dream a more definite shape. ^^
