This stage is based off the original Super Mario Bros's stage World 1-1 as if it has been left in ruins. The player progresses through the stage at a very slow and leisurely pace. As one goes through the stage one will be hit with a sense of nostalgia that is common among older gamers. Items such as the flag pole and places such as the fort can be seen in the background but don't actually interfere with the stage. The layout of the bricks from the stage does seem to affect how one moves around on stage. While not exactly tournament friendly, it still adds a nice touch to the stages we are already familiar and also breaks away from the retro kick by introducing the aging of the stage.</p><p align="center"><span class="inline inline-center"><img src="/news/files/images/stage23_080123c-l.jpg" class="image image-_original" height="315" width="400" /></span> </p><p>It's interesting to note that Sakurai mentions that occasionally a different level will load which is reminiscent of World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. With ideas like this who is to say we might not see other scrolling nostalgic stages such as ones from Link's Adventure, Metroid or other well known side-scrollers?</p><p align="center"><span class="inline inline-center"><img src="/news/files/images/stage23_080123d-l.jpg" class="image image-_original" height="315" width="400" /></span> </p>

Brings back memories

this stage looks great i can't wait until i get to use it im not a big fan of scrolling stages but this one looks like it will fun either way but then again so does every other stage. i also love how they have brought it into our time with all of it's graphical changes. Im wondering how exactly the bounderings will work for this stage.

oh well can't wait ......also that is a weird pic of ike or bad freeze frame oh well

 

[SomeRandomGuy]

This is possibly the best stage ever!!!!!!!!!

 

[shadenexus18]

Sakurai has out done himself with this sweet stage! Woot! Man, these are the kinds of stages that are getting me all amped about playing against Brawl Competition!! OOOOOOH YEA!

 

[Marzy]

That looks amazing! definetly my favourite looking stage so far. I can't wait to play on that.

 

[Galvanic]

Nostalgia here I come! I love how the pipes are rusted. It's just so... beautiful!

 

[S2]

At first I thought the desert look was kinda lame.

But I think its actually a pretty interesting take on the original SMB.

I wonder if it'll be tourney banned?

 

[Folt]

This will bring back memories.

 

[Nasir]

It seems kinda boring to me, but then again I could be wrong.

 

[Silent_X]

It would be hilarious if minus world loaded every once in awhile.

 

[Lechteron]

The real question is can you access the "secret" warp pipes at the end of the World 1-2 part of it? That would be so epic.

 

[Fault]

I love it. It's amazingly beautiful. But, at the same time, it's kind of sad to think of how aged precious childhood memories are to by lying in ruin.

 

[Hejiru]

I think that's a really neat idea. And it sometimes turns into 1-2, the underground stage.

 

[thetoastinator]

Kirby Tag stage FTW!!!

Also, the backround is so freakin' good looking.

Good thinking of hiring that Michelangelo of yours Sakurai!

 

[Silent_X]

would that fact that you can't choose which stage you play on affect it's chances of being tournament legal?

 

[Blazey]

The music to the stage is amazing. Put a smile on my face right away. I can't wait to play that map not just because it looks cool, but also because the tune sounds great.

 

[YoshiAngemon]

If the turning to ruins is what's happening to the Old Mushroom Kingdom, I'd hate to think of what's happening to the Old Subcon!

 

[Star105]

what is the other character in the game?

theres olimar deede and mario but is it a stage hazard or a AT or what?

sry but it doesn't look familiar

 

[Draenic gamer]

That's Pit. Bowser's flame looks nice, but how's he gonna side scroll if he can't fit

 

[maxpower1227]

^ That's Pit

 

[tirkaro]

If the turning to ruins is what's happening to the Old Mushroom Kingdom, I'd hate to think of what's happening to the Old Subcon!

nothing. Subcon doesn't really exist. It's a dream world

anyway, I really like the style of this stage. It has an awesome post-apocalyptic-y feel, like hokuto no ken. I also really liked the first mario bros, so I suppose I'll love this stage. but I probably wont use it in competitive matches though.

 

[Link Sharingan]

look like a fun stage now we have 3 new mario stages and 1 old one equal 4 mario stages

 

[Lemon Drop]

Really awesome stage. I wonder what happens when you reach the end of the stage? Loops? Awesome.

 

[Percon]

I think he block are destructable, so that bowser can fit and stuff.

And the music is great! It's very different, though it may not match the setting that well...

 

[Luigi player]

Nice new (or old) stage! I like it. That change to 1-2 is a little strange though. I'd hope that it changes if you're at the finish of level 1-1, but I guess not... well, it's still nice and they try to use side scrolling for a stage... something new for smash, pretty amazing and I like the music too, but it could've been a little better...

 

[PRINCESS PEACH777]

wow another lame stage......good job sakurai...not

 

[IllidR]

This stage looks absolutely amazing. I love how true it stays to the original Mario games.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

[M.K]

You are just mad that you didn't get your Peach Stage -.- And it looks fantastic, seeing as the original was 8-Bit

 

[kai123]

Awesome stage..

this also raises my hope for a green hill zone level.

 

[Matt Silver]

wow another lame stage......good job sakurai...not

Peach's castle is coming. Until then, no bagging other stages!


I like the stage. Nice potential, nice music. What else? Oh yeah - looks like an awesome preface to a new Mario game (Imagine a Mario game where the world is in this state...).

 

[peytar]

like it a lot, but i wish you could choose which stage you wanted (1-1 or 1-2) and i wish you could have the option to make the stage beautiful again, don't get me wrong the rust is cool and all i just like the natural beauty that was mushroom kingdom!

Also why is this news not updating on some updates can anyone answer that, this never happened with the blog

 

[Wiwiweb]

I thought it was an SSE stage before reading the "tournament friendly" part. A strange stage.

 

[Deleted member]

This is nostalgia mixed with ruin. That equals pure awesomeness. What can we look foward to now, Green Hilly Zone?

 

[ComradeCanada]

Many battles will be fought here!
This is pretty awesome.

 

[Kaelar]

Very stylish, and very cool. It would have been even nicer if 1-1 progressed directly into 1-2, but I suppose it ain't Smash without a few elements of randomness.

Also, Kondo is awesome, as per usual.

 

[Mambo]

Cool. It'll be fun. Can't wait.

 

[SonicSmash001]

Hey wait a sec, theres no other people in the first pic! Where is everyone? How could that be? Maybe some kinda event match where you go through it as mario for nostalgia reasons.
