Welcome to the brand NEW Official Stage Discussion! Due to unfortunate situations involving the creator of the previous thread, a new thread has been created to be a hot-link between all of the confirmed stages. This thread has been made to discuss everything about these new stages. Don't worry, I will keep updating this page with all of the new stages including pics of them and links to their respective topic forums.
Bio: The penultimate Melee stage, remodeled for Brawl. This stage has received a major graphical overhaul, taking it away from the black wormholes of Melee to the bright skies and dark days of Brawl. This stage plays the same way as it did in Melee, only now, there is a day-night cycle in the background that changes as the match goes on.

Bio: This new stage behaves like Mute City.... only without cars and with a scenic view! Here, platforms carry you across to different sections of the Plaza, some open on both sides, and a few with closed sides. Each stay at a section is brief, and then the characters are carried off to another section.

Bio: The stage from Smash 64 has returned, only minus the clouds and multi levels, and replaced with one swiveling platform and a support ghost. Some amount of changes huh? The biggest thing about it is though the graphical change - watch the Island go from season to season.

Bio: It's amazing isn't it... a stage that does not take place on the Great Fox. No, this is the Pleiades, and it is soaring through the asteroid fields of Corneria. There are no hazards, only a beautiful view of galactic fights above. The stage flies through different galaxies, but don't worry, oxygen should not be worried about.

CONFIRMED: July 6 2007
Bio: Dude... look at the size of that? It's like, 2.5 FD's!!! Yep, but, it's walk-off. Shame, isn't it. This flat stage from Twilight Princess is basically, just flat. The only major hazard is King Bulbin and Lord Bulbo's ride across the bridge, dropping bombs, and blowing pieces up. But don't worry, it will regenerate after time.

CONFIRMED: July 13 2007
Bio: This simple stage is very neutral, featuring only one-moving platform overhead. It takes place in an animal crossing village (is that Tom Nook?). The appearance of the stage is determined on the internal clock, making the stage dark or bright. It is rumored, that on Saturdays at 8, K.K. Slider gives off a little performance...

CONFIRMED: August 2 2007
Bio: In what should have been Akanea in Melee, Castle Siege is a new, moving 3-tiered stage. On the top, a typical castle top, but rather small. Soon, the players are warped to the walk-off interior with destructible platforms. Form there, they head off to the Underworld, where a single platforms hovers over a bottomless pit in hell.

The basic area of the stage is rather simple, but sometimes, the stage will transport into a minigame, where players might have to fend off flying arrows, smashing hammers, and rain.

CONFIRMED: September 6 2007
Bio: This stage seems to be exactly the same from the previous version, at least at start. Instead of the transformations from Melee, we have Ice, where things get slippery, Wind, where jumping ability is doubled, Ground, where heaps of Earth arises everywhere, and Electric, with many conveyor belts. Pokemon appear from the background, but it doesn't seem like they play a part in battle. Also, what does this mean for POKÈMON STADIUM 1?

Official Pokemon Staidum 2 Discussion
CONFIRMED: September 12 2007
Bio: This stage has been a part of speculation, with its obvious involvement in the Subspace Emissary. Otherwise, it makes for a rather cool stage! Play begins in a hangar, where it eventually flies out and lands on the deck of the ship. From here, the player has to be aware of the ships laser, grappling arm, and cannons.

Official Battleship Halberd Discussion
CONFIRMED: October 2 2007
Bio: This stage is surrounded by high walls at the left and right. Death is only accomplishable above, unless you tear down those walls, which create walk-off sides. Those towers feature guards, whose spotlights simply cue an esclamation point and sound effect. And, every now and then, a Metal Gear will pop out of the back of the Facility. We know of REX, RAY, and a "slightly" newer model (the Gekkos).

CONFIRMED: October 15 2007
Bio: ****, that's huge! It’s pretty **** big. It's in scale with Hyrule Temple, but with platforms in seemingly random places. The background of billboards seems to be very distracting. Also, the “Ultimate Chimera”, a giant pink monster, attacks players occasionally, dealing out one hit KO’s.

CONFIRMED: October 22 2007
Bio: Honestly, what the heck is this?! This is one random stage. The stage starts flat, but eventually, drawings are drawn out and players fight on new, 2D, interactive, drawn platforms and obstacles. Could this stage mean Wii-DS-Brawl connectivity? One can only hope….

CONFIRMED: Novemer 9 2007
Bio: If you had to guess what one Metroid stage would be like, what would you' say? Would it revolve around lava? Well, guess what... you're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! Norfair is a 5 platform stage in a V pattern, where lava rises from EVERY direction, from the left, right, above, beneath, pretty much everywhere. But now, a chamber appears to store players from the incoming lava. But you’ll have to fight to get in there.

CONFIRMED: December 13 2007
Bio: In what should have been displayed MONTHS ago, we finally get confirmation of Mario Circuit. Here, you battle at the crossroads of a figure 8, with Shy Guys coming from below and jumping from above. They can be monitored, with a display screen in the back. You can also make them wipe out with a well timed hit.

CONFIRMED: DECEMBER 18 2007
Bio: What's this? A decent Metroid stage without lava?! Praise the heavens... our prayers have been answered!!! In this stage, a battle takes place in front of the Queen Parasite, who watches over the battle. As the battle continues, the lights flicker on and off. Then, a siren will go off, signaling a complete 180 degree turn of the stage.

CONFIRMED: JANUARY 15 2008
Bio: The new Pikmin stage is in fact, very hectic. The platforms are bouncy, and when it rains, a downpour comes form the left walk-off incline, washing away players down below. At the right, a giant Bulbmin comes and eats all unsuspecting players. But is it representative of Pikmin and everything about it? Two words: HELL YES.

CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 4 2008

CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 5 2008
Bio: It's FD, only much more beautiful. Dropping the multi-sided ocatognalish shape, FD goes with a simple yet stylish rectangle shape, that travelts through time and space in the background, visiting planets and wormholes. One of the most, if not the most beautiful stage in the game.

OFFICIAL Final Destination Thread
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 12 2008
Bio: Oho! Now THAT’S a faithful recreation! - says Sakurai. And I guess he's right. It all ,ooks just like the classic arcade game. The screen does not scroll, and all sides are walk-off. It is rather hard to kill someone through the air, as all of the platofrms are non-pass through. The goal is to beat your opponents mainly off of the sides, which is more easily accomplished by acquiring turtle shells the old-school style way. Then, throw them into enemies.

CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 14 2008
Bio: Sonic fans could not have asked for more when it came to this stage. It perfectly recreates the feel of the classic Sonic the Hegehog games (not the recent crap ones mind you), and features one giant dip in the middle, with walk-offs on both sides; fairly symmetrical. In the background, knuckles, Silver, and Tails perform cameos as they spin around the shuttle loop. Also, the stage breaks away in the dip as it takes damage.

CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 18 2008
Bio: Probably one of the most requested and predicted stages, Luigi's Masnion makes its appearance. The stage takes place over a large ditch, and features 3 main platforms, 2 within the house and one on top. On the sides are small moving platforms. The supports in the house can be broken, crumbling the house. If the entire house is destroyed, after a certain amount of time, it will respawn.

Bio: Spear Pillar is technically a two-faced stage. The stage takes on a blueish or purplish hue depending on the Pokemon that will appear in the background. In the background, it is known that 3 different type of pokemon will appear, all creating different havok on the players, like tilting the stage, slowing time, flipping the stage upside-down, and shooting beams across the satge.

CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): MARCH 4 2008
Bio: Again, another predicted stage has made it into Brawl. Albeit, everyoine would expect 25m to show up, but instead, 75m does. This stage is humongous, featuring tons of platforms of different varieties. The original Donkey Kong (who is actually Cranky Kong) stays dormant in the back of the top, but sometimes runs up to the front and threatesn anyone who touches him.

Play begins in a hangar, where it eventually flies out and lands on the deck of the ship. From here, the player has to be aware of the ships laser, grappling arm, and cannons.

SHADOW MOSES ISLAND
CONFIRMED: October 2 2007
Bio: This stage is surrounded by high walls at the left and right. Death is only accomplishable above, unless you tear down those walls, which create walk-off sides. Those towers feature guards, whose spotlights simply cue an esclamation point and sound effect. And, every now and then, a Metal Gear will pop out of the back of the Facility. We know of REX, RAY, and a "slightly" newer model (the Gekkos).

NEW PORK CITY
CONFIRMED: October 15 2007
Bio: ****, that's huge! It’s pretty **** big. It's in scale with Hyrule Temple, but with platforms in seemingly random places. The background of billboards seems to be very distracting. Also, the “Ultimate Chimera”, a giant pink monster, attacks players occasionally, dealing out one hit KO’s.

PICTOCHAT
CONFIRMED: October 22 2007
Bio: Honestly, what the heck is this?! This is one random stage. The stage starts flat, but eventually, drawings are drawn out and players fight on new, 2D, interactive, drawn platforms and obstacles. Could this stage mean Wii-DS-Brawl connectivity? One can only hope….

THE SUMMIT
CONFIRMED: October 31, 2007
Bio: Finally, the ice Climbers get an actually good stage! No more scrolling for these guys, it's sliding on from here. See, this stage begins at the summit, but all hell breaks loose, as the stage breaks off and slides into the water below, where polar bears and fish from Balloon Fight live.

NORFAIR
CONFIRMED: Novemer 9 2007
Bio: If you had to guess what one Metroid stage would be like, what would you' say? Would it revolve around lava? Well, guess what... you're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! Norfair is a 5 platform stage in a V pattern, where lava rises from EVERY direction, from the left, right, above, beneath, pretty much everywhere. But now, a chamber appears to store players from the incoming lava. But you’ll have to fight to get in there.

MARIO CIRCUIT
CONFIRMED: December 13 2007
Bio: In what should have been displayed MONTHS ago, we finally get confirmation of Mario Circuit. Here, you battle at the crossroads of a figure 8, with Shy Guys coming from below and jumping from above. They can be monitored, with a display screen in the back. You can also make them wipe out with a well timed hit.

FRIGATE ORPHEON
CONFIRMED: DECEMBER 18 2007
Bio: What's this? A decent Metroid stage without lava?! Praise the heavens... our prayers have been answered!!! In this stage, a battle takes place in front of the Queen Parasite, who watches over the battle. As the battle continues, the lights flicker on and off. Then, a siren will go off, signaling a complete 180 degree turn of the stage.

DISTANT PLANET
CONFIRMED: JANUARY 15 2008
Bio: The new Pikmin stage is in fact, very hectic. The platforms are bouncy, and when it rains, a downpour comes form the left walk-off incline, washing away players down below. At the right, a giant Bulbmin comes and eats all unsuspecting players. But is it representative of Pikmin and everything about it? Two words: HELL YES.

MUSHROOMY KINGDOM

Bio: If the Mushroom Kingdom were nuked, this is what it would look like. Though, it still looks pretty good. Sometimes at random World 1-2 will load. With cool fire lanterns. Fire lanterns.

PORT TOWN AERO DIVE
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 4 2008
Bio: A new F-Zero stage with the same fell, but different look of the old Melee stage Mute City. Port Town is a bit darker, and inculdes several areas where the cars do not interact with the players, like a giant platform above the match.

FINAL DESTINATION
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 5 2008
Bio: It's FD, only much more beautiful. Dropping the multi-sided ocatognalish shape, FD goes with a simple yet stylish rectangle shape, that travelts through time and space in the background, visiting planets and wormholes. One of the most, if not the most beautiful stage in the game.

MARIO BROS.
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 12 2008
Bio: Oho! Now THAT’S a faithful recreation! - says Sakurai. And I guess he's right. It all ,ooks just like the classic arcade game. The screen does not scroll, and all sides are walk-off. It is rather hard to kill someone through the air, as all of the platofrms are non-pass through. The goal is to beat your opponents mainly off of the sides, which is more easily accomplished by acquiring turtle shells the old-school style way. Then, throw them into enemies.

GREEN HILL ZONE
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 14 2008
Bio: Sonic fans could not have asked for more when it came to this stage. It perfectly recreates the feel of the classic Sonic the Hegehog games (not the recent crap ones mind you), and features one giant dip in the middle, with walk-offs on both sides; fairly symmetrical. In the background, knuckles, Silver, and Tails perform cameos as they spin around the shuttle loop. Also, the stage breaks away in the dip as it takes damage.

LUIGI'S MANSION
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 18 2008
Bio: Probably one of the most requested and predicted stages, Luigi's Masnion makes its appearance. The stage takes place over a large ditch, and features 3 main platforms, 2 within the house and one on top. On the sides are small moving platforms. The supports in the house can be broken, crumbling the house. If the entire house is destroyed, after a certain amount of time, it will respawn.

SPEAR PILLAR
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): FEBRUARY 29 2008
Bio: Spear Pillar is technically a two-faced stage. The stage takes on a blueish or purplish hue depending on the Pokemon that will appear in the background. In the background, it is known that 3 different type of pokemon will appear, all creating different havok on the players, like tilting the stage, slowing time, flipping the stage upside-down, and shooting beams across the satge.

75m
CONFIRMED (ON THE DOJO): MARCH 4 2008
Bio: Again, another predicted stage has made it into Brawl. Albeit, everyoine would expect 25m to show up, but instead, 75m does. This stage is humongous, featuring tons of platforms of different varieties. The original Donkey Kong (who is actually Cranky Kong) stays dormant in the back of the top, but sometimes runs up to the front and threatesn anyone who touches him.
