If we could get any Melee stages remade (not the same, but remade with some differences in platforms, any hazards on it, and graphics) which would you choose?

I'd defintitely go with the Fountain of Dreams.
Forget just one. I always dreamed of a Smash game that featured every single stage from previous versions and in their original design.

That's not to say I wouldn't be happy with a new Princess Peach's Castle stage that mixes the 64 and Melee versions while having its own new flavor. We should also get a remade Saffron City, in my opinion.

Doubt we'll see that happen this game. If Sakurai is unsure whether Brawl stages will return, I don't think older stages fare any better.

Source? I don't remember him mentioning Brawl stages.
http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1972435/super_smash_bros_the_difference_between_wii_u_3ds_versions.html

As a result of developing for two platforms, however, Sakurai suggested there are limitations, including the dream of levels from Super Smash Bros Brawl (from the Wii) appearing in the latest Super Smash Bros game.
"If we did do that," said Sakurai, "stuff that was on Wii would have to be altered to be put on a 3DS. You’d have to make some tweaks. Whether or not you’d do that and still do those justice remains to be seen. We’re going to have to look at that."

Notes: In the Fields in a pretty catchy little jingle. I feel it may need to remixed though. Still a good choice! Your idea for Byrne's Theme is pretty cool! I like it. Regardless, the track is a good choice considering how popular and important he is. I do feel that Byrne Battle or Byrne Help would have been better choices though. Castle Town is a great choice as well. Popular, the main town of the game, and upbeat and catchy. It think it fits perfectly. The Phantom Hourglass Title Theme gives me chills... I won't lie. It's pretty darn good. This might be put on a Wind Waker stage in the Wii U version but hey! That won't affect your grade at all. Linebeck's theme is super popular as is the character himself. Fun Fact, his theme was remixed with Bellum's Theme for the Final Boss music of Phantom Hourglass. Nice choice. The Oracle medley is nice... Quick question, isn't the Overworld track exactly the same track as the Overworld from Link's Awakening? Tal Tal Heights is a good choice, though I feel that they will go with the Brawl version if they choose Tal Tal Heights.

Notes: Vs. Byrne is a good choice. As is the Great Sea. I always found it strange that the Title Theme and the Great Sea were one in the same for Phantom Hourglass. Vs Vaati is an interesting choice. Although I feel like other tracks from Minish Cap would have been a better choice. Not a bad choice in the slightest. I just feel like other tracks would be better suited. Your Oracle meldey is a pretty interesting one. The two songs can mesh together pretty well. Battle Quest is... wow! Never knew it was that catchy. Guess I only stayed on that street for small periods at a time. It certainly sounds like Zelda. But... I feel that since Zelda has so much to work with, priority should be given to it. Same goes for Overworld. Both are catchy as heck though.

Notes: I've talked about the first couple of songs already. So... let's get to the more unique stuff. Cragma is a great choice. It's the most popular boss theme in the game by far (outside possible the Final Boss Theme). The Oracle medley is interesting. I can definitely see the transitions working. Thank you for posting the exact times to give me a better idea. The Brawl version of Tal Tal Heights is very nice. Minish Village is... the only thing I find questionable about your list. I feel like Hyrule Town would have been a better fit. Still, it's catchy.

Notes: In the Fields and Fight against Byrne are great tracks from Spirit tracks. Both popular and important. The Great Sea and Linebeck's theme are also amazing, popular and important tracks from Phantom Hourglass. Hyrule Field is quite literally the main theme, but hey. It works well. Cloud Tops is among the most popular tracks from Minish Cap. Finish it off with Tal Tal Heights and I'd say you have a very fine list!

Notes:Starting off with Linebeck's theme isn't a bad choice at all. Minish Woods is a decent choice though I feel like there are better choices out there. Lost Woods really does feel like it should belong on the Gerudo Valley stage. Although it could work here as well. Dancing Dragon Dungeon is catchy and works very well. Among the most popular Oracle tracks. Ballad of the Windfish is a great choice for a song but... I honestly can't say I'd put it here. I'd put it in Skyloft or Gerudo Valley before I'd put it here. Still, it works. The Main Theme from Link Between Worlds was a risky choice... But I feel that it works. Vs Byrne (Not Byrne's Theme) is a solid choice. Overall, I feel like you took some risks. Let's see if they pay off!

Notes:In the Fields is a nice choice as always. Hyrule Field does feel like it would fit much better on Gerudo Valley, but it can also fit here. It's one of those tracks that could easily fit on both. I just feel like Gerudo Valley would be a better choice. The Dark World is another track that could easily fit on both. And A Link to The Past actually has been a handheld game. It was paired up with Four Swords on the GBA. Who knew huh? Battle with Byrne is a great choice. As is Linkbeck's Theme. Ah... Vs. Bellum. Frankly I'm surprised we didn't see more of this track. It's pretty popular and is a fight against the main villain of Phantom Hourglass. I'd say it's pretty important. Boss Battle is an interesting choice. I find it a pretty solid Minish Cap choice. Good job!

Notes: Personally Byrne comes to the Rescue is my favorite Byrne track. It's a fine choice, but it does lack the impact and lasting impression the other versions have (This one is still better though, Rescue Master Race). Cloud Tops is a fine choice. As is the Brawl Version of Tal Tal Heights! Wifi Battle is an interesting choice. I didn't expect to see it on these lists and frankly, I feel stupid that I didn't see it coming. It's a fine choice. Especially considering how big the multiplayer of Phantom Hourglass was. HOLY CRAP!!! Four Swords had awesome music like that?!? Dang. It's good. I like it. Kinda obscure though. Your medley is among my favorite ones so far. It works REALLY well. The tracks all flow together very well and the choices for the transitions are nice ones. Good job! Cursed Overworld does seem a bit redundant when we already have the original version of the piece but hey! Sakurai did that with Zelda in the past. Why not? It's a good choice.

Notes: The Final Exam is another track I'm surprised we haven't heard more of. It's a good one! Your next track gave me flashbacks of phantoms... They are nice tracks... but I feel that the Tower of Spirits really pales in comparison to some of the other tracks from Spirit Tracks. Doesn't seem to be too popular either. I do agree with you that Phantoms need to be in the soundtrack of the game somewhere. In the Fields is nice as I've said several times. XD Still.... I don't see how it's a remix of the main theme of the main theme of the original Zelda. What do you mean? Byrne Boss Battle is a great choice as is Linebeck's Theme. Vaati Battle works pretty well. I do feel that the Ballad of the Windfish could work better on other stages though. Still nice list. Overall though... It's a bit Spirit Tracks heavy... That will hurt Variety a tad.

Notes: Dragon Roost Island is... an interesting choice... That does feel like it should be a console track. Not on the handheld. Linebeck's theme is a nice choice. Tal Tal Heights and Village of the Blue Maiden are good past tracks... Overworld is an interesting choice but as I said before... Zelda doesn't have to rely on other series. It's got tons of great tracks on its own. I've already commented on Hyrule Field. It's a decent choice. I do wish you included more Spirit Tracks music though... Also, why only seven tracks?

Song of Storms is a nice past track to have but... This easily fits Gerudo Valley better. The Collector's Edition is a cool choice for a track. It sounds almost like the multiplayer theme from Phantom Hourglass! Demon Train is a cool choice. Pretty popular and pretty important. Linebeck's Theme is Linkbeck's Theme. It's a must have. Nice choices... but why only seven tracks?

Notes: The Enemy Approaches is kinda cool. Won't affect your grade though. The Byrne redux idea is a novel one and frankly, I wish Sakurai would do something like this. Unfortunately, I don't think he will. He's not cool enough. Still, an interesting choice. Ah Malladus Phase 2! Favorite track from Spirit Tracks. Frankly I'm surprised it wasn't on more lists. This theme is actually a remix of the Title Theme (WHICH NO ONE HAS WHY?!!?!?!) and Realm Overworld. It's a great choice. The Phantom Hourglass Title Screen is a great choice as is Linebeck's Theme. Molgera.... I do see what you're saying with the chicka chicka... Hm... Molgera fits well enough I guess. Nice choice for a past track. (If this wasn't a past track, I would have marked down your score, keep that in mind). Still, good pick. HYRULE TOWN!!! I'm sorry, but I honestly feel that this is the best possible song from Minish Cap. Plus I really like it... Tal Tal Heights is a good way to finish off your list. Overall, it's a great list!

Notes: Vs Byrne is a good way to start off. Hyrule Castle is a track I'm surprised we didn't get more of. It's a pretty popular track. Nice choice. Tal Tal Heights is a fine choice for a past track! Mercay Island is an interesting choice. Most choices from Phantom Hourglass are Linebeck's Theme and the Title/Great Sea theme. Mercay Island is certainly interesting... Props for originality, but it just isn't that popular methinks. It's important sure but.... I rarely see or hear people talk about it...Spirit Tower Medley...Hmm.... It is important but as I said before.... These tracks do compare in comparison to several other Spirit Tracks tracks (lol). Still, love that first theme in the medley. Always so chilling! I love it. Minish Village is a decent choice. The Dark World theme is fake. I checked it out... Because of that, I won't include it on your list. So that could both help and hinder you. About your comments on the bottom...
  1. Pirate Ship had a maximum of 3 songs from the same game. The most being Wind Waker with Dragon Roost Island, The Great Sea and Molgera. Still four tracks is just fine. No need to worry.
  2. Addressed above... Try to stick away from "leaked" stuff.

Notes: I glance at your list and I will say. I appreciate the dates and consoles. Thanks! You and Turtles like to make my life more easy! :D The Tal Tal Heights is a good choice to start off with...Sea of Trees is something I just didn't see coming. Um...Seems popular enough. Linebeck's theme is always nice. Fleeing by Demon Train seems a tad repetitive... and I don't feel it can be remixed enough on its own... Minish Village is cool. Your Fairy theme medley seems... redundant... Why not just use one of them? They are the same theme after all. Just with slightly different tempos... I mean the FSA version works perfectly on its own for example. It's not the best choice for a medley, but a great choice for a song. That Tingle song... DAYUM!!! Those are some catchy tunes right there! I like it. Still there are better choices. Also TacturnArtist is amazing and lol and Links. :link2: :toonlink:

Especially when there is a handheld song that does its job just as well. Hyrule Field and Lost Woods would fit much better on the Gerudo Valley stage too... There are a lot of past tracks here... I'm counting four... That's half your list... Variety is gonna have to take a plunge... [/collapse]

Good list overall, though I think you used Spirit Tracks music a bit too much. Byrne's theme is good, but I'd have preferred if you used the battle version of the theme.
In The Fields and Castle Town are good choices for the stage and are fairly important songs in Spirit Tracks.
Your two Phantom Hourglass themes are very good choices. The title theme is a rearrangement of the sailing theme from Wind Waker and also plays when you're sailing the seas (albeit with some very slight differences in instrumentation) and, of course, Linebeck's theme is a popular choice and is the theme of an important character too.
Your GB Zelda choices are very good. The Oracle Medley would flow perfectly in the same arrangement especially with the title theme and overworld theme (which is originally from Link's Awakening) being arrangements of the classic Zelda theme.
Tal Tal Heights is one of the most memorable songs from Link's Awakening and appeared in Brawl mixed with the Overworld theme from Link's Awakening that also appeared in both Oracle games.
You could have used Minish Cap music, but this is still a very good list that meets all criteria.

You have the overworld themes from both DS Zeldas, two important boss themes and a popular song from Link's Awakening. Those are all good choices. The Oracle medley you suggest is an interesting choice and would represent the oracles themselves in musical form.
On your other two songs, the Overworld theme from For the Frog the Bell Tolls is a good choice and also appeared in Link's Awakening in Richard's house. Given both Link's Awakening and that game share the same music composers, the musical style wouldn't look out of place in this stage at all. On the StreetPass Quest song, it fits the stage, it's known among most 3DS users and from a game similar to Zelda, but I feel it could have given place to another, more known, Zelda song. Still not a bad choice at all and this is one of the best lists here.

Good choices overall, though you could have replaced one of the songs from Spirit Tracks with something else, but it's me being nitpicky. All your songs fit the stage well too, which awards you with 10 points!
Your Oracle medley could flow nicely and it's a good way to represent the series in just one song. Minish Village is also a good choice and so is Title from Phantom Hourglass, which is also serves as its overworld theme (slight instrumentation differences aside).

Ballad of the Wind Fish! A good song that was meant to be in Brawl and could appear in this game. It's an important and popular song from Link's Awakening.
Choosing a song from A Link Between Worlds isn't a bad choice either, given it's a remix of the main Zelda theme. Linebeck and Byrne's themes are good popular choices too.
On the other hand, you have Dancing Dragon Dungeon and Minish Woods, which are fitting songs, but I don't feel that they have the degree of popularity that other songs have. Lost Woods is a good choice, being an important and iconic song, but I think that, being a song from Ocarina of Time, it would go better on the Ocarina of Time stage, Gerudo Valley.

You have some pretty odd choices out of more iconic songs. The version of Byrne's theme you've chosen is interesting and you have some popular themes too, such as Tal Tal Heights.
Your Linebeck medley isn't bad, but I'd prefer if you had the Gread Sea theme and Linebeck's theme separated to represent Phantom Hourglass.
Wi-Fi Battle isn't a bad choice being a remix of the main Zelda theme and Cursed Overworld feels a bit redundant with the already confirmed overworld song.
I feel you have too much songs from Spirit Tracks, when you could have used songs from the Oracle series.

You have good choices from Spirit Tracks with the Tower of Spirits song and The Final Exam, though I think you could have too much music from that game. You could have traded one of those music choices for Phantom Hourglass music. This made the difference in having an 8 instead of a 9 in the variety choice.
On your songs not from Spirit Tracks, you pretty much chose iconic songs from their respective games. Lastly, the songs you chose are very fitting for the stage.

Good fitting choices and good variety of songs. I think Hyrule Field would fit better on Gerudo Valley. Dragon Roost Island is a nice choice.
My only nitpick is the Village of the Blue Maiden song that could easily be replaced by another Zelda theme, even though it's a remix of the classic Kakariko Village theme.
By the way, Village of the Blue Maiden is taken directly from Four Swords Adventures and isn't a Brawl arrangement.

There's something that hurts your list: too much songs from Spirit Tracks. You could have given more love to the older games like Link's Awakening.
I do agree that Song of Storms from Brawl fits on this stage better, but considering it also contains Ganondorf's theme in the mix and is from Ocarina of Time, it wouldn't have been a bad choice for Gerudo Valley either.

You also have important songs from Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. Tal Tal Heights is one of the most popular songs from Link's Awakening and fits this stage as well.

A good list, but not without its faults. From Phantom Hourglass, I think you should have chosen a different song, such as the more iconic Great Sea theme or the more popular Linebeck's theme, anyway it's still a fitting song for the stage.
Your Spirit Tower Medley is a nice idea too and Minish Village is a good choice for this stage as well.
On your A Link Between Worlds song, the fact that it's possibly fake made me lower your importance and popularity scorings. You took a high risk on this choice and hurt you badly.

First of all, nice choice on the Great Fairy Medley! Even though it's not exactly a medley since you chose several versions of the iconic songs. A new arrangement of the song that would take elements from its many versions would be very interesting.
The Sea of Trees song is an interesting choice, being an iconic song from the somewhat obscure Four Swords game, although it's relatively unknown compared to other, more popular songs.
You could have replaced the song from Tingle's game and favor a more known Zelda game, such as Link's Awakening.

And a lot of the songs you have aren't very important to those handheld Zelda cel-shaded games. Fitting? Definitely, but I didn't find it important enough to be on the stage.

Notes: Nicely done! That Byrne theme was sublime, putting a twist on my favorite Zelda piece. (I haven't played ST in a while, so forgive me) All the rest was amazing and fitting, just I felt that the OoT and WW overworld themes would have been best on other stages, not this one. They still fit, but they'd be better off on a different Zelda stage. [/collapse]

A very solid list. My only real thing was that the overworld theme would need some remixing to have that moving feel - even for a GB pick, it feels very walky-slashy world rather than open wide expanses movement... um, if that makes sense XD.That said, your general picks were a REALLY solid bunch and in fact I think pretty much all of them are REALLY important to the series so congrats on my first 10 of scoring! (But i'm nice so you mightn't be the only one!) :p

I didn't mark you down really on the overworld thing in the end. It could be easily remixed to fit the stage fine haha. Very nice high score!

One of the most fitting (heh) soundtracks for a stage i've heard in ages. Even the Vaati song, which although felt a tad repetitive, did feel to me like it represented the stage really skillfully. In fact, on that point, I debated on whether to give it a 9 or a 10 due to the fact that the song wasn't one i'd particularly listen to if I didn't play the game. But I gave the 10 based on its merits to the stage rather than my personal perceptions of it. You pulled up some really unknown stuff but it resulted in an awesome playlist. I wouldn't mind seeing that one with a few more tossed in. =D

Also loved the variety with Nayru's and Din's. I don't know why but I didn't find it hard at all to imagine a remix for the stage that would make it fit - Nayru's especially has an airy feel to it that kinda makes me feel like i'm floating....

Congratulations on finding like the first Minish Cap song that I really, really liked (it's overworld theme) haha. A fine overworld and quite fitting! Your other picks were pretty stock standard so you didn't really have to worry about a loss of marks from me, just that a tune from OoA or OoS as a retro experience other than just tal Tal heights would have really made this one beautiful. Not bad though, very good!

(I notice as I do more and more of these, it becomes harder to give low scores - yay! - because people are often choosing the same ones! Hahaha :p)

I loved dancing dragon dungeon (maybe i'm just a sucker for OoA and OoS! :p) in your playlist haha. For the most part it was fairly stock standard, though I felt like the lost woods was a bit weird when considering the movement of a train through open fields. Perhaps a forest area? Hm...

The other issue I had was most of your picks went away from Spirit Tracks. Where's the Spirit Tracks lovin', my good sir? So many awesome tracks to pick in addition to Byrne's and the Overworld! Fractured overworld, town theme, castle theme.... all picks i've seen that I really enjoyed. :-D

For the most part though, decent picks, decent score. Good work, sir. :-)

Another REALLY fitting playlist. I could easily imagine every one of those songs on the stage in some form or another. WHY DID NO-ONE ELSE PICK VILLAGE OF THE BLUE MAIDEN UNTIL NOW?? ;_;

In any case, importance was substituted for fit in the Overworld theme of 'Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru' and although the game isn't the most well known I thought it was a good choice and didn't really try to take much away for it.

Good work man, very good score from me!

Fun playlist with some curious picks. DARN YOU FOR PUTTING IN THE FINAL BOSS THEME FOR SPIRIT TRACKS SEEING AS I ONLY JUST GOT PAST A PART I WAS STUCK IN!!!! Judge gotta do what a judge gotta do, though. @.@

Anywho, A decent remix of Song of Storms might be able to do the track theme some justice, though in its current form I think its more suited for the ship theme (thus why the brawl version was made that way). Not bad, though.

My main concern with this list was you didn't put as much retro stuff in. (;_;) I really would've loved a Link's Awakening theme or an Oracle theme or a Link between worlds/Link to the past song. :-D I count LttP as viable because of LbW, you see.

But still, very nice!

A very different but valid and refreshing list. I really enjoyed listening to your picks and thought they were well thought out and placed. Though this surprised me a bit, your tracks are all quite heavily important too for such variety. I was really pleased with this list and so should you! I do see your point on the Oracle games but I feel they'd be better for this stage. Aw well.

Decent playlist, though I feel you skipped out some really important tracks in some cases (Linebeck, for instance, or the dystopic overworld). Quite a few of the ones there felt a bit too calm and relaxing for the stage too, although I really liked your decision to use the tower and make it a medley to suit the track theme.

Unfortunately the Dark World theme there appears to be fake, however since LttP is like my favourite zelda game of all time, it's pretty easy for me to see it being used, which I liked.

Overall, decent. I liked the variety, I just felt it lacked some tracks that would've done the stage so much justice. But not bad! :-)

Not a bad list, although tingle's theme was ummm.... unexpected! Nothing too nitpicky here, I enjoyed the file screen/fairy medley, thought it'd be great if it could build up, though at the same time imagining it on a train stage took some creativity. Not bad though, decent picks. And indeed, the tribute to retro... I was happy. ^_^

Hmm, be careful with songs not from 3DS stages, I think that was part of the special ruleset. :o

Aside from this, one of the most solid tracks i've seen. Very well chosen in that you took really important tracks from everywhere. I liked Link's Awakening Tal Tal Heights but I feel like i'd like a tiny bit more retro in there at some point. Still, really nice, definitely a list to be happy about. :-D

Agreed btw that the stages will probably have more to them. Although we're grading you on what you've chosen, it's realised that the stage will probably have more. Heck, thats the reason why we can like so many different types of lists!

Not too much to say on it, as i've said before I feel like Vaati's theme needs a bit of re-working but I won't mark you down on it because it does fit.

Uhm, hooray? :D

Notes: First of all, the Oracle medley sent me back to way back when I was playing those games as a young pre-adolescent. Good stuff! And the Dancing Dragon dungeon at the end of that medley sounds really solid (not to mention it's one of my absolute favourite songs from that game so ya might've caught me there, just a bit. XD). Minish Village had both really fitting and kinda non-fitting moments and I feel like that was mainly what stopped your fit from being a 10, however I think a remix of the song could quite possibly eliminate that problem and most of your other songs were just spot on, so a 9. Your other songs were solid, though sometimes zelda has that issue where the boss battle themes are fit for stationary battles and not moving ones. That said, I don't count it against you. Finally, the Tal tal heights return I feel was the PERFECT song to finish off. Not only is it a really loved remix but it fits the moving, open feel of the stage to like, the most awesome degree I can think of.

So yeah, good stuff!

Okay, so, I really liked the town theme. Actually, this carried across pretty much all of your tunes and you kinda picked up on it - but the thing that really gave it the fit to the stage was the use of the beat in your tunes. The beat is like the chug of a train and helps keep the feel of a moving stage. This was why I loved your town pick so much. Listening to it and imagining a fight on board the train just went really well together, even more so than I originally thought and what you would think when not listening to it.

You went a little in to the unknown in terms of your choices but they were weird and wacky and I kinda liked it. Nice work. :-)

I liked the overall theme of your medley. There were a few songs where, at moments I felt a bit underwhelmed (a couple of the songs from the Medley seemed like they had to be at particular times of the stage to fit well, for instance), however for the most part I liked your picks. What really made me go "YES!" was your 'cursed overworld'. My third review and I hadn't seen that yet and I was so sad that no-one had picked it, so you getting that in there to me was a really big 'awesomeness' moment and I loved listening to it even though I knew exactly what I was gonna hear. ;)

A few odd picks that came from surprising sources. However, other choices really picked the list up and carried it along, so i'm pretty happy. ^_^

I personally think Tal Tal Heights fits better in Gerudo Valley, and that Lost Woods doesn't fit in Gerudo Valley. So I switched them around. I honestly thought I did pretty well this round, but I guess my passion for Saria's Song killed me in the end.

Unfortunately I was unable to participate this round due to my lack of knowledge of which music tracks from the handhelds are popular. I did think of Tal Tal Heights and such, but the list was a giant disaster that I gave up.

However, I will be back with a vengeance for the 3DS once Gerudo Valley is up and going… mark my words.

But for now, congrats to T-J Works!

I notice a lot of people suggesting that I should have used a song from the Oracle games. I avoided that because I think the Oracle games have more connections to OoT/MM than they do with the later Toon style games.

That aside congratulations to T-J Works!

Hmm...seems like pretty much every judge's main complaint was that I had too many Brawl songs. Guess I'll try harder on that next time.

We're gonna stick to 5-8 so that it doesn't take forever to grade.
Ah, that makes sense. I can understand how it would be annoying to grade 15 lists with a dozen songs each.:laugh:

Oh hey, I think this is the first time I've actually gotten below 2nd place. It's also the first time I've been in a four-way tie I think. Glad to know we have much stricter judging going on, Swamp. :laugh:

Anyway, congrats to you, TJ-Works! The fact that you used the battle version of Byrne's Theme and the Phantom Hourglass Title Theme makes me happy that you were the winner. Though never seeing Cragma's theme getting a run in Smash Bros. will make me sad... Thank you for showing an ex-music champion such as myself some great competition and, more importantly, humility!

Also Swamp, do you think we could ever implement a "honorable mention" section? Like, while we sit through the results of the grades, make it so all the entrants get to put in a vote for a song or medley that wasn't a part of the winner's list? While I've loved all the winners' lists, it's always a shame to see the sea of tunes that could have won just drift away into being nothing more than an archive of the contest. Hell, I remember feeling guilty in the Skyloft round for all those that had used Ghirahim's theme when it wasn't a part of my own winning list. I can't say it feels too great to be on the other side of the fence being one of those whose songs lost, either.

I'm not going to push it, but I'm saying I'd love it if we could implement a "entrants' choice" system like that, especially if we could do it past rounds, too.

There are gonna be a LOOOT of lists in the second post. I don't wanna reach the character limit.

Ah. See, what I was imagining was simply to have the most popular "entrants' choice" as an extra song after each stage's list. There's going to be a lot in the second post, given, but the end result would be identical to adding I suppose, what, about 6 more lists to the post? That's not too much excess I wouldn't think.

Of course, a separate post altogether would be more than nice, but I'm not sure if one is able to simply add another post like that.

I am actually kinda surprised multiple judges thought I had too many Spirit Tracks songs; if anything, I thought only having 3 ST tracks on an ST themed stage was going to be too few. I will have to keep that in mind when the Gerudo Valley stage crops up.

Also, it occurs to me in hindsight that, even though it isn't a song from a handheld title, Dragon Roost Island would have been a great track for the stage.

Dohohoho, I guess that's a victory on its own!

Everyone tied with me is a loser! Especially me! I'm the biggest loser of all of you! Got it?

On this note, being one of multiple thirds reminds me of EarthBound in that part where you fight five Guardian Diggers that each separately claim to be the third strongest. Anyone know what I mean? No? Well at least I can get a kick out of it if nobody else can. Except there's only four of us... Quick, Shinpichu, do something to lose a point! We must be moles together!

It is nothing short of glorious! Hence why I included it on my list. How anyone could NOT like it is beyond me...

In any case, congrats to TJ-Works! Sorry I forgot to congratulate you earlier when I was moping around.

Speaking of the honorable mentions, it turns out that I have the third post in the topic. If you guys want, I'll delete my post and you guys can use it for that section if you want.

Also, we should celebrate Marth's return by declaring next round as Arena Ferox instead of Pyrosphere! :troll:
