Smash Master
Weird things happen when I'm bored. Such as firing up 8 Player Smash for the first time since release.
On a related note, level 1 AI players are stupid.
Fire Code
As amusingly phrased by ingame tips, the fire marshal decrees that some stages are simply too cramped for more than 4 players. If there are 5 players or more, they will find that not all stages are available. At 7 players, the list of available stages shrinks even further.
Custom stages cannot be selected in 8 Player Smash under any conditions, regardless of player count.
Despite Final Destination not being allowed with 5 or more players, many Omega forms are still allowed. Omega forms in 8 Player Smash are approximately 150% the size of normal Omega forms. The number of Omega forms remains the same even with 7-8 players.
Some stage features are stripped out in 8 Player Smash. These features are only removed when 5 or more players participate. If only 4 or less join, all stages act as normal.
The following table summarizes relevant information about each stage in 8 Player Smash.
