Job #157: Golden Axe Stage - Adder's Lair
Adder's Lair is the headquarters of a fearsome tyrant
Death Adder himself, which takes place in a devilish/demonic valley with lava and an active volcano, even being partially based on the final stage from the original Golden Axe game and set in
the Royal Castle of Southwood Kingdom. This particular version and it's aspects are based on it's incarnation as one of the race tracks in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed.
In Battle of AGES, players are fighting in an ominous castle with a few rocky platforms and lava surrounding the place, with it sprouting out from a volcano below as magma pillars to burn off fighters. The giant skeleton with it's hands opened outwards and blue flames coming out of them, referencing the first game's
character select screen, and stone statues of both
Death Adder &
Death Bringer, final bosses of arcade and Genesis/Mega Drive versions, are all seen as cameos in the background. After a certain time has passed, a giant dragon similar to the
Great Dragon from Beast Rider (except with dark scales like
Megabrax, Death Adder's guardian in the same game, and has some elements from
a rideable monster in the classic games), will appear as it flies into the stage, acting as both a moving platform and a stage hazard/boss (similarly to Ridley in SSB4's Wii U version for
a Pyrosphere stage and Brawl as a Subspace Emissary boss respectively, Rayquaza in Brawl and Rathalos as an assist trophy in Ultimate), often flying into the sides of a stage, damaging fighters as it charges back and forth. While flapping in the side, a dragon will attack fighters by either swiping it's tail, breathing a series of fire balls or roaring out a giant soundwave to stun them for a while.
For a tracklist, well... we usually have those in a different job following the voted stage, so I'm sorry to tell
Qwerty UIOP
that it's a little bad time right now.
