You forgot The Great Cave Defensive. Sakurai thinks the only people that bought this game have big TVs and can see the tiniest of your character.

75m is so bad. Can someone tell me what Sakurai was thinking when he brought this stage back?
Honestly could have been worse they could have brought back rumble falls but thank goodness they didnt but i have no idea why they brought this stage back maybe it was to celebrate an anniversary or something anyways..they could have easily substituted 75m for another better...stage.

75m. Why couldn't have been based on one of the simpler stages of Donkey Kong? I'm fighting an opponent, not a stage.

Palutena's Temple is so damn big and boring as ****. I only pick this stage just for its Omega form.

There are people who don't like Jungle Hijinx? Aside from not being competitive it seems harmless.

1. 75m (hazards)
2. The Great Cave Offensive (too big)
3. Pac-Land (ugly)
4. Pyrosphere/Gaur Plain/Wily Castle (stage bosses)
5. Palutena's Temple (too big, boring)
6. Smashville (unneeded, too similar to Town and City)

75m, just because of that stupid springs that give you an insta-kill most of the time.

75m, it's the one stage I don't find any joy in no matter what kind of way I'm playing.

Also there are various stages I hate in single-player modes, but otherwise, 75m is the only one.

Kinda surprised with Palutena's Temple and Great Cave Offensive showing up a lot TBH. They're the best in 8-Player Smash, but they're also great in 1v1, as you can have these big epic fights across a sprawling landscape.

Yeah GCO is the worst, but Pac Land is close.

I like Jungle Hijinks, but mainly I think that it's just a missed opportunity for far better potential DK stages. At least we got the 64 stage back

Once again, MS Paint the stage, seriously who thought this thing was ok? It's hideous, looks like a preschooler made it, and is just flat out unprofessional as a whole.
Is it weird that I actually like Great cave offensive (Casually of course)?

Out of that list: 75m

I would rather have Mario Bros. back since the hazards weren't annoying.

75m, out of the new ones though? the starfox one, it's a cool idea but I find it extremely cheap and most of my deaths have been due to falling of the edges out of attacks and the like.
Paulenta's temple and Cave offensive are alot of fun in 8 player smash but not much otherwise.

Agreed.

Voted for Pac-Land, though. I avoid that stage at all costs. Ugly and I hate scrolling stages.

I also hate Wrecking Crew. Probably the most generic-looking stage ever in Smash. It doesn't look like it belongs in a Nintendo fighting game, and I don't understand why the Smash series in general insists on throwing back to such a forgettable game from over 30 years ago.

I actually don't mind Great Cave Offensive, though. It's bad with eight players, but I think it's pretty fun with smaller battles, because you can take the fight to different places and still get kills without struggling thanks to the blast zones.

75m might possible be the worst, and I'm not sure why it keeps coming back too

75m

Because having to fight the stage instead of your opponent is totally such a genius idea. 10/10, Sakurai, make sure you rehash it in the NEXT game.

MS Paint: the stage and 75M just shouldn't exist the way they do.
Pac-Land should have been a Pac-Man World level. That way it wouldn't be an eyesore.
75m should have a different overall design.

I don't really like 75m all too much, but somehow, I actually do not dislike Pac-Land. I think that it's one of the better scrolling stages, and unlike the Infinite Glacier and Rumble Falls, it's not solely a question of trying to survive the damn stage itself instead of trying to land a few hits on the opponent. But yeah, I can see why people strongly dislike it, and I have to agree that it doesn't look good, and that the 3DS Pac-Man stage was leagues better.

...But why is Jungle Hijinks on the poll instead of something obvious like The Great Cave Offensive? Jungle Hijinks is pretty cool, despite not being competitive.

I hate 75m, the hazard is too much to handle and when you think the top is a good place to fight because it haves a long flat surface nope got objects hitting you and then donkey kong hits everyone and the easily get kill if hit up high.

Concerning Pac-Land, I wonder if anyone knows the game that the stage is based off from actually looks like it's made from MS Paint and not just the stage itself?

Either way, it is indeed a pretty hideous stage.

Out of that list, probably 75M because the way its set up is awful and there's too much attacking you at once. Seriously, even people who play Smash casually with items on and stuff don't want to go there because it's awful. Pac-Land really only has the problems of its look, but it's honestly pretty fun with friends, I actually like Jungle Hijinks and Palutena's Temple is a little too big, but it was meant more for 8 player Smash anyways. GCO was too, but it's too big even for that.

How Jungle Hijinxs can be considered a bad stage is beyond me. I find it so fun.

Pac-Land is without a doubt the absolute worst. 75m comes in a close second. Palutena's Temple I don't count because I love its Omega Form.

The Great Cave Offensive sucks, and also does Orbital Gate Assault.

Speaking of Orbital Gate, I actually find that stage to be somewhat fun to play on, despite it having next almost no competitive value, kind of like the Pyrosphere stage.

What makes jungele hijinks so bad is if your trying to get away and the barrel blows up and your at lets say 100%-120% R.I.P

My top 5 picks in no particular order:
1. Pac-Land: Also known as MS Paint Land, this stage is bad to me because of how boring and uninteresting it is. Pac-Maze on the 3DS is better because it is more interesting to fight on and it's more creative.
2. 75m: This stage wasn't meant for fighting. It's pretty big, spacious, and the stage hazards here are pretty powerful. I wonder why this was brought back out of all the stages in Brawl... at least it's better than Mario Bros., but that's not saying much.
3. Wily Castle: It wasn't listed here, but this stage is terrible for one reason: Yellow Devil. I love the platforms here and it would make for a great competitive stage. The Yellow Devil kills it for me because it's a massive and intrusive stage hazard.
4. The Great Cave Offensive: It's big and kinda boring. The fights tend to drag because you aren't going to get a good KO for a long time. It's also bad on a personal note as I rather have a Kirby stage from the newer games rather than a (pretty bad) stage from the older games.
5. Mario Circuit (Brawl): I just find this stage to be pretty boring and bland in comparison to the new Mario Circuit. Brawl's version is pretty bland compared to the newer, more thrilling one; I thinking bringing this stage back was redundant.

Honorable mention goes to Palutena's Temple, which is extremely big and uninteresting. Hilariously, level 9 Little Macs can't handle this stage.

Personally, I like Jungle Hijinx. It's a pretty fun stage in my opinion.

Great Cave offensive may well be the worst stage in the history of the smash series.
Palutena's Temple is awful, as is 75m.

Great Cave Offensive is just pure hell and trolling in 8-player Smash, and so is Palutena's Temple because nobody dies.

75m is up there too, I can't navigate it at all.

Great Cave Offensive. PAC-LAND would be one of the best if they remade it's art style for Smash like Wrecking Crew, so just an HD PAC-LAND.

I can't stand most of the big stages, but by God, GCO is by far the worst of them all.

Nope, Pac-Land would still be nasty. Just nasty and aesthetically pleasing.

Why though? Other than being a side-scrolling stage, I don't hate it. I sure don't think you should have more than 4 fighters in PAC-LAND at any time, but other than that and the graphics, I don't really see anything wrong with it.

It's just that, because it's a scrolling stage. Aside from Big Blue (love me some Big Blue) they're just notorious for being 'janky'
