Is Yoshi's Island (Melee) forever out of the question?

[schavira]

I understand it is a banned stage. However, it was already in Brawl. I see no reason for them to have removed it, other than if you can only have a limited number of stages present (which makes sense but it disappointing). If Big Blue can stay why not Yoshi's Island? I am new to Project M (finally managed to install it today) and it is near-perfect, but this is the only thing that bothered me. As a more casual player it is sad to see one of my favorite stages axed completely when it was already in the game. It would be nice to see all three Melee + Brawl Yoshi stages present in one game, if that is even possible.

stage hack it back on yourself...?

Why was it removed in the first place though, to make room for Yoshi's Story? If that is the only way to fit Yoshi's Story then I can live with it, but if it is possible to include both I do not see what the benefit is in removing it.

They directly replaced Melee Yoshi's Island with Yoshi's Story. You can tell just from the music, since the Yoshi's Story's theme is not in Brawl, and the other old stage music is still there.

There is the stage expansion code which makes the previous limitations a thing of the past.

It is a pretty decent Coin match stage, I'll give it that.

But then you could just play Coin matches on Onett.

Or not play Coin matches like a sane person.

Have they updated that stage expansion set for 2.6 yet?

If that is true it would make a lot of sense to restore Yoshi's Island Melee and Green Greens Melee in a future version, considering they were in Brawl in the first place. They merit inclusion more than a Castlevania stage or a SSE Jungle stage (even if the latter looks really good on my computer). There could be a third page devoted to just banned/questionable stages. I really hope a developer is reading this thread aha.

The Stage Expansion code likely won't be used until it's possible to add to the Random Stage Select screen so the extra stages that are re-added can be selected through random. Currently, that is not possible and is why it's not included.

Yeah it's not the most popular stage and it is very easy to restore. Libertyernie will have an expansion update up in little time I imagine, but it isn't even very necessary unless you desparately need the new minor tweaks to stages but can't insert them yourself. I hope he makes a new icon layout though for the sss.
