Characterless Stages

[Guybrush20X6]

Brawl introduced the idea of games having stages without characters like Animal Crossing, Electoplankton and Picto Chat.

So far we've seen Pilotwings and Nintendogs stages so that either means we're gonna play as a Labrador or there's potentially more to come.

What ones do you wanna see?

Well this is inviting trolls: "Pac-Man maze so there's no playable Pac-Man!" & stuff like that.

 

[DakotaBonez]

Get some Wii Music up in thar pleaz

 

[XStarWarriorX]

FE Awakening: Arena Ferox. No awakening characters

In all seriousness I'd like to see a DS stage or a Wii U stage or something like that.

Would still be a Fire Emblem stage for Marth, Roy, Ike and/or another FE character, considering Ness was fought on New Pork City, despite not appearing in Mother 3. The stages are decided by series and not exactly match the characters.

In all seriousness I'd like to see a DS stage or a Wii U stage or something like that.

I'd like to see a stage comprised by Nintendo consoles. You'd fight on top of giant sized Nintendo home consoles (NES, N64, GCN...) on the Wii U version or giant sized Nintendo handheld consoles (Game Boy line, DS, 3DS...) on the 3DS version.

It seems that the Pilotwings and Nintendogs stages may fall into this category: stages without characters associated to them.

Idk, the Pilotwings stage could possibly be a Mii's stage, considering it's ties to Wuhu Island. Albeit, it'd be an odd fit.

The best characterless stage would be Tetris.

The pac maze will never be confirmed without pacman besides if pac man was confirmed i would not be suprised if the maze was confirmed with pac man if in smash bros 4

Assuming that none of the characters from any of these game series are playable, here are my votes.

Wii U: Sin and Punishment, Xenoblade, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Pac-Man, Nintendo Land
3DS: Legendary Starfy, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Pushmo,

I do believe we'll see some some Wii U and 3DS stages on opposite systems, however.

To be honest I would like to seem some better Mario stages this time. My hope is that we will finally fight in Bowsers Castle that's the stage I'll be looking forward to, but since Masahiro Sakurai is still The Director I doubt it will, but hey I can I dream right? The custom songs for that level would be Ultimate Koopa (Super Mario 64 Finsl Boss theme) King of the Koopa's (Paper Mario 64) the Final boss theme The New Super Mario bros Wii or the 3DS version. Thats all I hot at the moment.

Mario Kart. Kinda Sorta. I mean, Mario and gang are obviously playable, but Mario Kart is its own spin-off series and their move sets don't include much Kart influence, even though they are characters in the game technically...

Screw it. Long story short, I want Rainbow Road.

Mario Circuit is in Brawl. That's a Mario Kart stage.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Rhythm Heaven should get a stage.

Sorry I kinda forgot about that.

Yeah Rainbow Road would be sweet!

 

[Pacack]

I could do with a couple of arcade stages again, but this time with something that doesn't have a character linked (Sheriff, possibly?)

I would prefer Sheriff as a character. He's important to Nintendo's history.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Endless Ocean stage is what I can think of so far.

 

[Vintage Creep]

A classic Balloon Fight stage seems pretty obvious to me. Also it would be easy as far as platforms go, so it wouldn't turn out ****ed up like 75m.

After playing the Nintendo 3DS stage in Super Smash Flash 2, I'd love to see Nintendo's take on it, with a Wii U version of the stage for the console edition as well. *reads previous replies* Okay, so apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea. I've got another one, how about a stage based on the Custom Robo games. The base stage could be a birds-eye view of how each arena looks in the CR games, and the terrain and hazards can be randomly placed each match in a grid-like setup. While this idea could be applied to the Stage Builder feature, I'd prefer to see this mechanic be used to represent another Nintendo franchise instead. (Or the random generated stage could just be applied to both the proposed stage and Stage Builder, then everyone's happy)

I do agree bowser's castle is long over due the music and the stage could be so epic.

I also agree with the Bowser's Castle idea. Right now I have a Bowser's Castle stage in my Project M stages, and I think if such a stage were to be in SSB4, I'd love to have the same song I use included in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsyjY9lDVk8&list=SP706D99B420CA57E6&index=67

Having played this game, I agree completely.

It would be stunning in HD.

The only characterless stages so far to be confirmed are the Pilotwings stage and the Nintendogs stage. (hopefully that boxing stage is a Punch Out!! stage and Little Mac is playable)

But if more characterless franchises were to get represented, then I would see series and games like Rhythm Heaven, Endless Ocean, Fossil Fighters, Nintendo Land, and Balloon Fight get a stage, but not a character.

 

[Hypercat-Z]

One word: Tetris!

I doubt that the boxing ring is a Punch Out stage because it has a Smash Ball symbol. But Sakurai could be trolling us, since he loves to do so.

I think it could be a Punch Out!! stage. There is the possibility that it isn't, but I think the stage will be called "Super Smash Bros. Circuit" (much like in Punch Out!! where there is a Minor Circuit, a Major Circuit, and a World Circuit) or something relating to that.

Yeah, it could be that.

A Pushmo stage would be great.

I want a Duck Hunt stage where the dog laughs at you every time you get KO'd. Perhaps it could include the shooting at the ducks as a stage hazard; if you jump in front of a duck at the wrong time, you take a bullet for it and are spiked down behind the grass at which point the dog holds you up like he normally holds ducks up (leaving you open to a big hit from anyone else if they can avoid laughing too hard at the dog holding up a slumped down Bowser like he was a dead duck). Wow, this stage somehow sounds even more awesome now than when I started making this post. Duck Hunt is too good.

Good idea! Let me add something: The ducks announce their arrive with a quack like in Wiiplay and if you hit them from below or with a weapon they will fall in the background, behind the bushes. The dog will lift them and then he will throws a lot of stuff in the playground.

Throwing a lot of stuff is weird, what if the dog throws the duck and you can use the duck as a battering item?

Stuff = Bonuses and items
It makes sense being it a prize.
But your idea is good too.
Or maybe they just fall down when hitten, and they stick on their beak like the birds of the SSE in Brawl.

Next: How about a Excitebike stage?

It would work like the Mario Kart stage, with the bikers as hazard.
Players fight on the platform level and can hide (to ambush) behind the hill corner.
Maybe the wall near the platform is destroyable by throwing someone through, and causing the bikers to passthrough the hole and under the platform rather than above.
Would you prefer this stage fixed or moving?
Would you prefer it in bit or modernized?

I would like it in any way, but modernized seems better. It would look weird with 3D characters in a 8-Bit stage. But I think Excitebiker could be playable, so it would be best if this was not a characterless stage.

 

[iam8bit]

A Duck Hunt or Excitebike stage would be awesome! I also think Tetris and a Pac-Man maze are possibilities, and would add a lot of "classic gaming cred", ha ha.

Yeah Rainbow Road would be sweet!

I agree. Oh, and you also don't need to double-post, you can reply to several people in a single post.

What about the Mii Plaza?

Miis on your Wii U or 3DS could even walk by or even watch the battle!
