Renames for Stages

[TheYungLink]

Hello everyone, just to pass the time while E3 2019 rolls around, I wanted to bring up a question:

What would you rename any existing stages to?

For me, I personally don't like that we have a stage called "Peach's Castle" and another called "Princess Peach's Castle". Similarly I don't like that one of the stages is called 'Yoshi's Island (Melee)" and the other one "Yoshi's Island." I think they could have thought up a better name to differentiate the two.

Anyway, here are the stages I would rename, listed by their original name and then their rename:

1. Peach's Castle > Super Mario 64
2. Mushroom Kingdom II > Subcon
3. Jungle Japes > Cranky's Cabin
4. Yoshi's Island (Melee) > Yo'ster Isle [the original Japanese name for the first world in Super Mario World]
5. Temple > Hyrule Temple [I know the "Hyrule" part was just the location in Melee, I just want its name to better contrast with Palutena's Temple]
6. Dream Land > Whispy Woods
7. Dream Land GB > Kirby's Dream Land
8. Mute City SNES > Mute City [I'll take this back if Melee Mute City returns but I doubt it will]
9. Gaur Plain > Bionis' Leg
10. PictoChat 2 > PictoChat [I don't think vanilla PictoChat from Brawl is coming back, might as well remove the number]

I'm still a bit pissed that used the incorrect NA Rainbow Cruise in the Pal version of the game instead of sticking with Rainbow Ride like in Melee and Brawl. Rainbow Ride is the name of the stage in 64, use it

-3D Land—>Mushroom Kingdom 3D

-Peach’s Castle—>Super Mario 64

-Mushroom Kingdom 64—>Retro Kingdom

-Corneria—>Return to Corneria

-Pokémon Stadium—>Johto Stadium

-Pokémon Stadium 2—>Sinnoh Stadium

In Japan, Yoshi's Island (Melee) is actually called Yo'ster Island. I would prefer that.

Also Mushroom Kingdom and Mushroom Kingdom II are Ancient Kingdom and Ancient Kingdom II. I would call them Retro Kingdom and Retro Kingdom 2.

Doesn't the stage selection in Melee say that Pokemon Stadium 1 is in Kanto? I wouldn't be surprised if it was in like Saffron City as well or something.

I did think about that. But that would incite the wrath of the "YOU'RE ACKNOWLEDGING KANTO EXISTS GBSLSMJRSK" crowd.

I don't think it would. The only stages set explicitly in Kanto are Saffron City, Pokémon Stadium 1, and Poké Floats. Pokémon Stadium 2 is the only ambiguous one in terms of location, all Pokémon stages after that have specific locations, and we have two entire stages based in Kalos.
