I personally like Dreamland a lot, but for no reason really. I win a lot there, but I can't see any inherent advantages really. It must be a mental thing.

DK's best stage is Termina Bay hands down. Just make a no being lame rule so that they can't just projectile spam and run away.

Once, in a 4 player free for all, I got 9 kills (out of a possible 12 for all you non-math users)and only did 320% damage. I didn't steal a single kill either. That little platform on the right is too hot.

Edit: And I know it's banned in most tournaments but that's just because the man is tryin' to keep us DK players down.

to those saying japes' river is bad for dk:

think for a moment which characters would suffer more from the river, those with horizontal recovery, or those with vertical. chars like marth who need to be very close to the edge before up b'ing to sweet spot it will have a hard time sweet spotting the ledge with the river running under it. DK stays out of the river's grasp when doing his up b because his does not require a lot of vertical gain.

i don't think japes is a bad course for dk, bair spam on the middle platform, and use up b cancels by grounded up b'ing in the middle and catching the side platforms edges.

Termina is too good. DK has 13 moves that can KO from that little platform (even more moves if they aren't on the platform with you) and I have done them all. The choices are astounding! Where else can you kill with d-b?

Once I 4 stocked a Marth there (granted he was only a decent player) in 18 seconds.

Also, Japes can be good depending on your opponent.

It bounces them off the bottom of the main deck and then shoots them down off the edge really fast unless they're floaty. It works all the time because no one expects it. The spacing can be a little weird though.
