Custom Stages?

I've been lurking these forums for a while, and I haven't seen anybody post about this, so I thought I'd register and put the idea out there.

Melee had certain Event Matches where the "stage" was actually a trophy that you fought on top of. You'd earn the trophy if you won, but you couldn't ever fight on that trophy "stage" outside of EM mode. It got me thinking: What if Brawl had a stage where you fought on top of a random trophy? And then I thought, What if you could create your own stage using trophies and other premade pieces?

The pieces could include
  • Solid platforms
  • Jump-through platforms
  • Destructible solid platforms
  • Destructible jump-through platforms
  • Rotating platforms
  • Moving platforms
  • Ladders
  • Slopes
  • Walls
  • Destructible walls

Placing and manipulating these pieces would be easy using the Wiimote.

In addition, you could use trophies as solid objects in your stage. The trophies could be enlarged or made smaller to suit your needs, whether you want them to be platforms, obstacles, or the entire stage itself.

The game could provide a number of generic 3-D backgrounds to choose from. You could decorate the backgrounds using your stickers and populate it with characters that appear in other backgrounds (i.e., AC and Pokemon characters).

Then you could add hazards. I imagine it would be too difficult to allow the user to really create their own hazards, but the dev team could offer a fair amount of different types that would be toggled on and off along with a frequency meter.

For instance, one hazard could be falling flower pots. The pots rain from the sky and if one breaks on your head you get the Lip's Stick flower debuff for a short time. You could toggle this on or off for your stage, and then a sliding gauge would determine how often the pots fall.

Hazards could also include enemies such as Melee's goombas and redead or any of the ones from the Subspace Emissary Adventure mode -- perhaps even bosses.

Finally, you could assign music to the stage using the same music interface revealed on the Dojo.

What do you guys think? To me this would be the ultimate feature!

EDIT: Ah, I see now the idea has been mentioned here:

Well due to my love for customizing things, this would probably be what would make me preorder it (i haven't preordered it)
