YES!!! Rainbow Ride is one of my favorite stage's in Melee! Now if only they could return Flat Zone...

(Flat Zone is Mr.Game&Watch's home stage)
Time is repeating itself. Why you say? Look at the Wii and NES and you'll know why.

I like the Mario courses better. It's nice they're brought back. When I check the Brawl website, I wake up early in the morning.

Er... Checking the site causes you to wake up early?

Er, I always thought Melee Yoshi's Island was "Super Mario World stage". Same overworld look and music. ...oh, duh, the first world in Super Mario World was Yoshi's Island. Darn it, there have been too many Yoshi's Islands throughout the series. So in Brawl, we have SMW1 Island, SMW2 Island... and Melee had Yoshi's Story Island, which I hope never makes a return (stage was too small).

Cool, Onett's back! Seems they're really holding onto the EarthBound references. I don't think there's any stronger references to EB than in the Smash Bros. series. You'd think Nintendo would release the actual games, then. We did eventually see some Fire Emblem games after all.

Still waiting for Brinstar Depths (it's Norfair, gosh darn it! Norfair's below Brinstar, entrance to Norfair is close to where Kraid is, and you're using the Norfair music! Get it right!). Not my favorite stage to battle on, but it had Kraid and wonderful music.

  • Brinstar
  • Corneria
  • Onett
  • Rainbow Ride
  • Temple
  • Yoshi's Island
  • Big Blue
  • Green Greens
  • Jungle Japes
  • Pokémon Stadium
No Smash stages at all... only Melee stages, and the new Brawl ones.

Don't worry; that one DK Jungle stage is taking its place.

At least we got Onett and Temple back. And Corneria's basically the Great Fox from the first Smash Bros with a different background (an old favorite of mine precisely because of its size, which is why I moved to Temple when Melee came around).

...Big Blue? Woot!

DK Jungle stage... I have a sinking feeling that's the stage with the gosh-awful DK Rap music.

And although some Melee stages aren't returning, their music is.

EDIT: Just tried Melee again. Even today it looks fantastic. One of my favorite pasttimes was looking at every nook and cranny of each Trophy, just to see to what extent details were added. Such as seeing Fox's shirt beneath his coat, or Falco's tongue, or the detailed irises for several character's eyes. Even Bowser, in his mouth you can see the gums and tongue. So if Brawl's characters are even more detailed, I can't wait to see what they look like upon close inspection.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, Melee had a "F-Zero Racers" trophy, showing all 30 (or close to it) F-Zero racers as one trophy. I hope to see more out-of-control trophies like that.

The DK Rap is seemingly absent from Brawl (I'm pleased, too... it gives us the brain damage). Brawl has the Mona Pizza song from WarioWare: Twisted!

Pollyanna (the alternate for Onett) is in, but I haven't heard it. I hope they didn't mangle it with the artificial music they've been sticking into the orchestrated pieces from Melee (Bein' Friends, the default for Onett, has it pretty bad).

Heheh, I've had my sessions of edging into characters' mouths to see the tooth texture, as well. It's kind of weird-looking for Zelda.

No Smash stages? Darn it. I have been hoping they would bring back some of the other older ones, but I guess not.

Mabey we can re-create them  in the stage builder..

Yeah, I guess. Hyrule Castle will be easiest, probably... but no tornadoes.

In my opinion, they chose the worst stages to bring from Smash to Melee. Dream Land is Battlefield, Yoshi's Island is Battefield with more space, some clouds and annoyed pr0s, and Kongo Jungle isn't very exciting. The Mushroom Kingdom*, Hyrule Castle and Saffron City should've come back.

*Or at least the Melee one could've had the working pipes. I love those.
