LoZ stage: Pyramid of Power

Yes, I realize that whatever I say here, really has no impact on what is and/or isn't in the game, and am fully aware that I'm just day dreaming with this idea. :p

Anyway, after seeing the big music update we had ago, I noticed the "Dark World" was one of the musical options under the LoZ category.

Which really made me think, how awesome would a Pyramid of Power Stage be?

I envision it sort of like this:




Real simple, several longer platforms, each gets shorter as they go up, but even the top platform is roomy.

The tower in the back is just Ganon's tower from the game, and is just eye candy.

I was thinking about randomly having lightning strikes, but I'd rather leave this stage sort of plain, tournament viable and whatnot.

I dunno, I just loved the music for the Dark World so much, and this level would just symbolize it SO well. :D

That'd be a neat game, because people don't realize ALTTP was JUST AS GOOD AS OOT! Seriously, that stage would rock. I have no idea how it would work, but something tells me it would be big, and have many floor [levels]. IDK how it would work, but it could be intresting. Still, I wouldn't bet on it. But at least we get ALTTP music! :)

I'm not a huge fan of stages that are too simple. What if there were a few statues here and there (just like in the actual game) blocking passage on certain floors and making you unable to jump up to some floors, just to make things a little more dynamic?

Or maybe every so often you hear the "Warping" sound effect and the stage transforms into Hyrule Castle... nah, that's too complex!

Hmmm... it could work, and if any stage got Link to the Past representation, I think this would work the best.

I was also very pleased to see "The Dark World" under the My Music section, but the "Death Mountain" theme from the same game is by far my favorite.

I have a feeling Sakurai is leaning towards the more modern LoZ's this time around... maybe death mountain from Twilight Princess? How about the Tower of the Gods from Windwaker?

Hopefully not another TP level, just because it would be nice to have a variation.. But I kind of think this Pyramid of Power level might be too much like the Bridge of Eldin in terms of its Essence:
-They'd use the same colour schemes
-They are both plain, flat (ish) levels

I do hope there is a level that calls back to LttP and/or LoZ though..
And Windwaker..

The best thing that could happen for Smash is for this level to be in there. In my opinion, you should be able to "fall" through the top of the pyramid (like in A Link to the Past), and in there would be additional scenery. Maybe even the Fat Fairy Queen!? and if you throw stuff in her direction, she gets mad and throws the junk you just threw back at you. That would be amazing!

As to what malesretmit12 said, if there's anything I don't like about this game from what I've seen (and I really don't even care too much), it's the emphasis on new, fresh games. But, of course, if he put an emphasis on old, "classic" games, I'd still feel just as disappointed. I want an even representation from all eras of Nintendo, from NES to SNES to N64 to GCN to Wii.

Which is why I'd really like a ALttP stage... I don't think we've had one in any SSB games, have we?
