Here's a poll for the echo fighter:
Should Ice Climber/Nintendo Arcade Get An Echo Fig... - Online Poll - StrawPoll.com

Job #60: Submit An Ice Climber Stage
Submit an Ice Climber/Nintendo arcade stage. Please submit the layout and location.

 

[Torgo the Bear]

Icetop

Named after the unused stage data from Melee, and inspired by Brawl’s take on Kid Icarus content, this stage is meant to represent a hypothetical situation in which the Ice Climber series was still an active franchise today.

The stage is a small village located at the base of Icicle Mountain. The mountain itself looms in the background, with its many platforming challenges visible in the distance. Meanwhile, the battle takes place on the village’s rooftops. There are five houses with flat roofs making up the stage, and they are all positioned so that you have four platforms in a sort of Diamond shape (think the floating platforms in the Galeem and Dharkon battles, but bigger, and with one in the center.)

Occasionally, the Condor will swoop down from the Mountain and into the village. It will attack the fighters with its talons, but after a little while, it will break into one of the houses and fly away with a Vegetable. As it flies off, you can attack the Condor to make it drop the Vegetable, thus making it a food item. Otherwise, the Condor will simply steal the Veggie and fly off to the Mountain’s summit…

Polar Bears, Nitpickers, and the Bird enemies from Balloon Fight may appear as background cameos.

Nintendo arcade stage:

ExciteBike Stadium (Excite)
View attachment 354106View attachment 354107
(Left: Mario Kart 8 and Right: NES Excitebike (Albeit in 3D))​

ExciteBike Stadium is a main setting of NES side-scrolling racing game EXCITEBIKE, released on NES/Famicom in 1984. It's a racetrack, where bike riders race on it, jumping from ramps or even driving into mudpits.
The ExciteBike Stadium appeared in Excite games like ExciteBike (NES), Vs. ExciteBike, Mario Excitebike Stadium Bun Bun (Mario version of ExciteBike on Satellaview), ExciteBike 64, ExciteBike: World Rally and Mario Kart 8 as DLC course (Also in MK8D as returning course).

ExciteBike is very popular game that was one of 10 most selling NES games of all time and it's side-scrolling mechanic was implemented in Super Mario Bros. game. Without ExciteBike's existence, SMB wouldn't have a side-scrolling mechanic in the game. Also ExciteBike is very important game for Nintendo's history. Since we don't have ExciteBike Assist Trophy in the game, then the series should be repped as DLC stage instead.

The layout:​

So, the layout of the stage wouldn't be same as Super Smash Bros. Crusade, but it would be similar to it (Ramp structures, 2.5D layout). So, let's get into layout description, shall we?

Okay, so the layout of stage would be similar to first stage of ExciteBike (Which are ramps and mudpits), but it reuses the elements from Mario Kart's version of it.
View attachment 354105
This stage would be side-scrolling like Mushroomy Kingdom for example, but it the scrolling is little bit faster to make it faithful to it's original source.
The stage hazard is group of 4 ExciteBikers that race across the stage. They act like ExciteBike AT, but they use their World Rally designs instead (Also they sometimes play the NES sounds when hitting an opponent or jump).
Also if the stage reaches the end, it scrolls back to it's original place.
(Also there are boost pads that can increase players' speed and even Excitebikers' speed)

• Black: Hard platform
• Yellow: Soft platform
• Red line: Excitebiker hazard movement

The aesthetic of the stage is inspired by Mario Kart 8, but it uses the elements from OG one, Excitebike 64 like banners of Nintendo logo for example. Also Boulder (Excite Truck) and Beetle (ExciteBots) make a cameo in background in middle of the stadium.

The Omega and Battlefield forms have the same layouts as Battlefield and FD, but they have same textures as the ExciteBike Stadium stage.
Also, the FD and Battlefield forms appear slightly above the stadium. In the background of FD and BF forms, you could see the racers racing in the stadium.

Why ExciteBike Stadium as DLC stage?​

I nominate the ExciteBike stage, because it represents ExciteBike franchise in form of stage in the game and it would be tribute to the series itself. Even though if we don't have ExciteBike assist trophy in the game, we could rep the series again somehow in form of DLC stage.
Also ExciteBike is very popular black box Nintendo game that a lot of Nintendo fans can recognize it (Even those, who grew up with). Because of that, the stage would sell well because of the game's popularity and legacy.
Besides that, we have ExciteBike songs in this game in others category, so it's not an issue to put them on this stage.

Excitebike first released on famicom so it won’t be eligible as an arcade stage.

Players fight inside the game, with the coin things acting as platforms. They'll appear and dissappear as Bubbles does her thing. The Unira are stage hazards.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Wasn't Ice Climber first released on Famicom as well?

Either way, submitting the return of Icicle Mountain Melee

 

[Deleted member]

I think the difference is Climbers was aracde first; while Exitebike was first on Famicom then ported to Aracde.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

We won’t give Ice Climber an echo. Anyways I think I’m going to just change it so that anything Nintendo published for their Vs. System that isn’t Mario or Punch Out would be eligible regardless if that was their debut or not, would everyone be fine with this?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I feel a better distinction would be all the Black Box NES games, and then Nintendo's toys and pre-NES arcade games could maybe fall under Duck Hunt while ROB gets game hardware

 

[Torgo the Bear]

Dang, I was hoping we’d get an Ice Climbers echo so I could submit the Topi Team (both regional designs of the Topi enemy as a duo)

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I like this idea think we’ll just be going with this then.

Anyways I’ll give a few more minutes if people want to submit new stages after this rule change. Excitebike will be eligible after all by the way.

Okay sorry for that start to Ice Climber content but now here are the options for stages:
Torgo the Bear Icetop
Tankman from Newgrounds Excitebike Stadium
@Darkonedagger Clu Clu Land
Wario Wario Wario Icicle Mountain Melee

So please vote for your top two or one most wanted in order. You can vote for your own in first place in this one.
1. Clu Clu Land
2. Excitebike Stadium

Job #61: Submit A Black Box NES Item
Submit an item originating from the Black Box NES series. Please submit the item and it’s function.

My submission is Volleyball. The ball falls from the sky and if you hit it it flies towards the opponent. If the opponent hits it it’ll fly back to you way faster, hit it back and it’ll go faster and so on. It deals damage if someone can’t hit it fast enough and it deals more damage depending on how fast it is.

 

[Deleted member]

1. Icicle Mountain Melee
2. Excitebike Stadium

 

[Torgo the Bear]

Icetop
Clu Clu Land

Item: (tbh I have no idea what it’s called)

The item is the thing Mario is holding over his head on the boxart here. Picking this up makes it float over your head, during which it serves as both an upward facing shield and reflector.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Tennis Players

Unlike Colour TV Game, these lads exist in 3 dimensions (in terms of the game. not their aesthetic appearance), one in the back and one in front of the foreground. The ball will bounce onto the floor when it's in the middle before going to the back/foreground. The ball creates a pixel shockwave when it lands, which is what the hitbox comes from instead of the ball itself.

Submitting Urban Champion

The Urban Champion is the nameless hero from his retroactively eponymous title, released in 1984. Deriving its gameplay from Punch-Out! for Game & Watch, it was Nintendo’s first 2D fighting game on home consoles. How fitting would it be for the developer’s first fighter to show up in their all-star fighting series?…Oh, you want an answer? I thought that question was already pretty evident. The answer is “very”.

Urban Champion, or Urb, as I will henceforth refer to him, is a plucky young man; a surly pedestrian with an insatiable and unexplained penchant for beating up strangers who look an awful lot like him, only with different hair and clothing colors. The goal in his game was to walk along the city street and beat back encountered opponents by knocking them into an open manhole. When Urb appears from an Assist Trophy, he’d reflect that trend. Rendered in 3D pixel art, he’d spawn on-sight, then begin walking forward toward an opponent, delivering his choppy one-two punches. His goal would be to push the opponent off of the stage and into the bottomless pit (or blast zone, when on a walk-off stage), substituting them for his beloved manholes. Just like in the original game, Urb would deliver two types of attacks: his light punch and his heavy punch. As with its original use, the light punch wouldn’t push the opponent, but it’d be a great shield-poker, making the simple AI of the character a bit less easy to avoid. The heavy punch would push the opponent back about one character space. Both attacks would have high hit-stun, and coupled with the difficulty in shielding the light punch, players could very well find themselves unable to escape Urb’s pugnacious punching, and be beaten back off the ledge. Of course, while they may suffer some damage, once off the ledge, there’s not much Urb can do to prevent them from recovering. If only Urban Champion had given him a meteor smash animation.

Hoshido (FE Fates)

Hoshido is a place in Fire Emblem Fates. Hoshido locates on east of the continent and it is always sunny opposed to Nohr. It's the place where Corrin could go after moving anyway from his home place.

The stage layout could take place on Hoshido's Castle and it could be like Castle Siege, but with more Platforms and it's Styled after Fire Emblem Fates game. There are camoes on the Stage are appearing like Camilla, Celica, Alm and even Adult Tiki (Dissappears if she is Summoned as Assist). In Background of the Stage, the Nohr is Shown.
In Omega and Battlefield Form, the Huge platform has Texture of Hoshido Castle's Roof and it has Platforms like Normal Version while Battlefield Form is On.

I nominate this Stage, because it could be Home Stage for Corrin, which she/he could fit into it like a puzzle. Also, it could represent Fates game as Form of Stage. The Stage doesn't have Hazards, so it's free for Playing without Hazards and it could be fun dtage. The sunny aesthetic could look so cool, since it could make stage more brighter for playing on it.
