Stage Discussion

[BridgesWithTurtles]

The Paper Mario stage is named "Paper Mario", because the stage switches between several locations from the Paper Mario series. It's not one specific location. So far we've seen the grassy area from Sticker Star, SS Flavion from Thousand Year Door and now we know that Bowser's Castle is one of the locations too. Same goes for 3D Land. Those stages are named after the games because they're based on the games themselves instead of being based on a specific location.

It's not like Gerudo Valley, Arena Ferox, Rainbow Road or Spirit Train that are directly based on actual locations and the name reflects that.

I understand this. Still, they could have called it "Paper Mario Tour" or something along those lines.

Is that why the Mario Galaxy was called Mario Galaxy even though it clearly took place on a specific galaxy?

 

[Warp Star Lover]

Pardon my stupidity, but what is the stage shown in yesterday's Ghirahim pic? Looks nice!

Kalos Pokemon league.

It was the Pokemon League from X and Y, and yes, it looks gorgeous.

 

[Fortanono]

Anyone else think that there's gonna be a Mount Wario stage? The platform could be the helicopter, and it could be a cruise stage like Rainbow Road. Wario balloons and gliding Shy Guys could be platforms.

That would be a pretty cool idea. The question is, would it represent the Mario series (since it originated in Mario Kart) or the Wario series?

I imagine the Wario series since Waluigi is a part of that series apparently now too.

Oh, ok. It's just that Mario Kart tracks usually registered as Mario stages in the past. But it's till a neat idea, nonetheless.
In terms of Wario stages, I think it's time they finally give us a Wario Land stage.

I love that idea too. Maybe Wario Land on 3DS since they were handheld games, and Mount Wario on Wii U since it's from a console game.

Yeah, I think it should be a Wario stage.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Mount Wario would be awesome but I think it's too recent. Also it would still represent Mario Kart even though it has the name Wario in it. An updated Wario Ware stage would be OK imho.

 

[ryuu seika]

Not the best of names. I'd be inclined to reference the fact that all of Paper Mario (or atleast the first game) took place in a story book and use that to explain the location swapping when it came to titling the stage.

 

[TheUltraDeino]

Kinda like how the yoshi island stage in Melee is from Mario World, and is considered yoshi series

 

[LancerStaff]

Not sure if this'd be the right spot to say this, but last Friday's PotD looks like it's hinting to another Zelda stage on 3DS, Skyward Sword specifically. The song on the PotD is the Ballad of the Goddess/Girahim's theme. Why not a OoT/WW series song instead?

sakurai said that there would be some songs that dont go with any stage so dont be so sure

Skyward sword already has a stage in the wii u version though. Unlike Pokemon, Zelda has many handheld main games they could pull out of, where as to pokemon, where the only thing they could pull out of for Wii U is spin-offs.

 

[SpectreJordan]

I really hope there's a Donkey Kong stage on the Wii U version, I'm getting a bit scared that there might not be. I need to hear dat Japes!

There will be, just wait, since there isn't a dk stage for the 3ds makes it very possible that there will be a dk stage for wii u

What do you guys think this "Omega mode" for stages is? I saw it either on Sakurai's Miiverse post, or the leak of the gambling mode, but I forget which.

it was in the pic of spectator mode, anyway i think it just means final destination form

 

[MasterLuigi]

Yeah, "Omega Form" must be the Final Destination version since every stage is its Final Destination version in For Glory. Omega Form is just they call it instead of Final Destination form.

 

[Aninymouse]

It makes sense, now that I think about it. Omega is the FINAL letter in the Greek alphabet.

 

[devo_]

Still hoping for Battlefield in For Glory :|

 

[Jrodt333]

I just realized something. There's new Kirby music, so shouldn't that mean that there's a new Kirby stage?

 

[DaDavid]

Sure but not necessarily for the 3DS version.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Sure but not necessarily for the 3DS version.

It appears that the "Game Boy" stage is actually a Kirby's Dream Land stage.

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

I wonder what the 3DS Earthbound stage is going to be like..i am intrested to see how it works

 

[Superyoshiom]

Rumor has it that it's Magicant. That's pretty hype, actually.

 

[Casey_Contra]

After watching this japanese Smash for 3DS overview, I'm completely sold on Final Destination mode. They show off a bunch of the stages and they look awesome!

Corneria's FD form is interesting

 

[Casey_Contra]

Ah! I didn't even catch that. What time is it at? If I wasn't at work I would go through and compile an album of screenshots.

We've also got more returning stages as well, with Yoshi's Island (Brawl), Distant Planet (Brawl) and Corneria (Melee) confirmed for 3DS. I'm guessing:

THIS is getting more credible every few days, so it's probably inevitable that this is the actual 3DS stage roster. What we haven't seen confirmed yet is;

• New Mushroom Kingdom (Brawl)
• F-Zero stage
• WarioWare (Brawl)
• ThatobnoxiouslypinkstageonthefarrightthateverybelievesisMagicantfromEarthbound.
• Pictochat (Brawl)
• Flat Zone (Brawl)

At least we still have the Wii U stage roster to speculate.

 

[PLATINUM7]

51 seconds.

 

[Stenton]

Town and City has a FD Version for some reason.

I actually think 90% of the stages will have a FD.

 

[_Sheik]

I've seen people calling Gaur Plains "the new Rumble Falls", but to me it looked more like another huge stage like Palutena's Temple. Thoughts?

well i certainly didnt see anything to indicate it was scrolling upwards

 

[fabri]

pokemon stadium 3 pls

 

[Vintage Creep]

I hope the WiiU has a Paper Mario stage by itself. I want Oolong from the Thousand-Year Door.
