What Beta and 1P Stages should be playable in VS mode? (Brawl)

clydeaker · Sep 27, 2015

This thread was made to go along with:
- What Beta and 1P Stages could've been playable in VS mode? (Smash 64).
- What Beta and 1P Stages could've been playable in VS mode? (Melee).

What if during the development of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the director Masahiro Sakurai decided to add some of the Beta or 1-player stages to Multi-player mode. They would all be accessible on the stage select screen in addition to the Multi-player stages already available and all stage glitches such as freezing, bad spawn locations, timer issues, etc. would be patched/ fixed for VS mode use and training mode use. Which of the following Beta or 1-player stages would you like to have playable in multi-player mode in addition to the stages already available?

Beta Stages

Beta Battlefield

Notice how there aren't any platforms visible. Could this be an "Omega" like stage without platforms? Probably not because the dog is most likely blocking them from view.
Note: This is a scene from the 2006 trailer. Notice how Snake's box is located at a normally inaccessible part of the stage.

Beta Shadow Moses Island

Note: An early screen shot of Shadow Moses Island, depicting a location inaccessible in the final version of the game.

GROUP stages

Custom Stages

Sample Stages

Note: many people delete these stages due to them taking up unwanted space or so they can download a mod that requires them to be deleted such as Project M. Because these stages can be deleted in Vanilla Brawl they are categorized as Non-Playable Stages.
Sample S: Hole

Note: Sample S: Hole is the small size example. Its layout consists of two main towers with a hole in the middle, owing to its name.

Sample M: Bath

Sample M: Bath is mainly a U-shape, with the only exits being the top opening and a lone Drop Block on the left side. The right side is slightly elevated. It is the medium size example.

Sample L: Maze

Sample L: Maze is the example of a large stage. It is a very complex stage, with many moving platforms and a few Drop Blocks.

Other

Note: There are many possible stages that can be made using stage builder.

Boss Battle

Note: all of the Boss Battle Stages appear at least once somewhere in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.
Boss Battle: Petey Piranha

Note: This Stage is the same as the "How To Play" video stage and the Midair Stadium in the Subspace Emissary. It's also similar to Pokemon Stadium 2, but without platforms.

Boss Battle: Rayquaza

Note: this stage is the exact same as The Lake in Subspace Emissary.

Boss Battle: Porky

Note: This is the exact same stage as the Porky Boss Battle in Subspace Emissary.

Target Smash!!

See here for more details on Target Smash!!.
Target Smash!!: Level 1

Note: This is a simple course, with very large targets, all near each other. It appears to be set in The Lake.

Target Smash!!: Level 2

Note: This is somewhat more complex. There are various high cliffs that have Targets at the top. There are also items scattered around the stage. It appears to be set in The Wilds.

Target Smash!!: Level 3

Note: This stage is unique as it has a slide launcher, a spring, as well as a conveyor belt. It is set in a partial Box. It too has items. It appears to be set in The Swamp.

Target Smash!!: Level 4

Note: This level is icy, causing players to slip. Most of the targets move, often requiring perfect timing to complete fast enough. There is one non-moving target that is very difficult to get, located at the bottom right of the stage, and for some characters, it has to be gotten last. This stage has no items. It appears to be set in the Glacial Peak or in Summit.

Target Smash!!: Level 5

Note: This is the final Target Smash level. It has small targets, spikes, springs, items, and moving platforms. It appears to be set in the Ruins. Pikachu is a good option for this level because a lot of its moves will help get targets like the one on the far right.
