Stage: MASON System
I have an idea for a stage that isn’t the courtroom. It has the courtroom in part of it but that’s not all it is. The stage is a scrolling stage based on the MASON system from Apollo Justice. The MASON system was a program in Apollo Justice which allows you to essentially view the memories of someone else, and it was used to see the case where Phoenix accidentally presented false evidence and lost his lawyer’s badge. For this stage it’ll be assumed that it can view the events of the first three games and so this will be a scrolling stage that takes you through one of the games, in their final case.
So there are three “modes” of the stage that will be randomly selected. The layout for all of them are the same (first area is a long floor that has two platforms, second is the same floor and has a long platform and the third has one long floor and no platforms) but the visuals are different. You can select mode 1 every time by holding R, mode 2 each time by holding L and holding both at the same time will select mode 3, in case people have any preference for areas.
Between each area, there’s a transition that looks like this (only obviously labeled differently to correspond to each area) and youre on a platform under:

Mode 1: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
This part of the stage starts in front of Gourd Lake. There are stands on the left and right that act as platforms and a Steel Samurai balloon can sometimes be seen flying in the background.

The second area you cycle through is the inside of the caretaker’s shack where the table is one long platform.

Finally, as with all the other areas, the final part is in the courtroom. For this particular one, Edgeworth is on the witness stand, Manfred von Karma is the prosecution and, if he isn’t in play, Phoenix will be on the defense side. If he is in ply no one will be there then. The stage is essentially just a long hallway and doesn’t have any platforms.. After a while in this place the cycle will reset.

Mode 2: Justice For All
The first area is in the dining room in the hotel. The tables act as platforms.
(Sorry I couldn’t get any good pictures without anyone standing in the way lol)

Then it moves to inside one of the rooms where the glass table is a long platform

Then, in court Franziska von Karma is the prosecutor and Matt Enguarde is the witness. Phoenix is the defense again obviously unless you’re playing him
Mode 3: Trials and Tribulations
Finally, mode 3 starts in Hazakura temple where the roofs on the left and right are platforms

Then it moves to dusky bridge where the top of the bridge is one long platform

And then in court, Larry Butz is on stand and Godot is the prosecutor.
The final destination and battlefield forms are of the courtroom but in that version the courtroom will be empty.
