For a Free Falling stage:
You would be eternally falling. As for elevation changing, FFing would make you go downward (in reference to the camera obviously) and regular falling would keep you in the same place. And maybe you could hold Up, basically making you fall slower, resulting in and upward direction. DI-ing to the left and right, anyone that goes too far offscreen is KO'ed. As said before, after air dodging or ^B-ing, you would need to be hit again to continue fighting. You could even be dodging things like para troopas and those spiky things from the kirby games. And if it were set in a regular environment, there could be clouds that raise you in elevation if you go into them.
I was thinking set a stage from SMB3 in the End-world ship, a scrolling level, and when you get to the end, you freefall like in the game (although I hope the fall would be longer), then the ship comes back down to earth and everybody jumps on and it starts again. In the middle there would be cannons, and terrain changes (the kind that try to trap you while the level scrolls. Of course the scrolling would be slower on the ship so you could get some actual battle in)
And whoops, I just remembered this is the OFFICIAL stage discussion. I hope you get to actually go on board the Halberd at some point, and fighting on top of a castle with flaming projectiles coming at you sounds awesome!
