Battle Field
"Battlefield" is the type of stage where you can enjoy the most basic of matches.
There is one large platform with three pass-through platforms.
Despite its simplistic design, it gives birth to a wide array of strategies during battle.
This time, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, many stages will undergo elaborate changes during battle.
On Battlefield, the main platform will not change...
You'll play this level many times, so it's nice to see it change a little.
Delfino Plaza
This is the central town of Isle Delfino, the tropical setting of Super Mario Sunshine.
Wow! That blue ocean is bright on the eyes.
This particular battle stage flies around the skies above the island.
After a thrilling landing, it becomes a normal battle stage.
This flight path repeats, providing great sightseeing and brawling.
The changing scenery is so beautiful, you get absorbed in it.
Yoshi's Island
The pastel stage of Yoshi’s Island...
Mmm... It feels nice and peaceful here.
Shy Guys often make guest appearances, and the Support Ghost can appear suddenly, aiding players on occasion.
The highlight of this stage is its seasonal changes, as it goes from spring to summer to fall and then winter.
It certainly has its own distinct air.
Change is sometimes good.
Lylat Cruise
The Lylat System is the general term for the region of space featured in the Star Fox games.
Here, you will fight on top of a spaceship while warping to various locations.
The fight rages on as the ship barrels through asteroids, dogfights, and even the atmosphere of Corneria. A-Are you going to be OK?
How are they breathing? And why is there gravity? I suggest that you not worry about it too much.
Bridge Of Eldin
This area appeared in the Wii game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. If you’ve played that title, you ought to remember this place.
And the enemy leader, King Bulblin, makes cameo appearances. Occasionally, he uses bombs to blast holes in the stage.
But don’t worry. The missing chunk will be magically transported via portal to fill in the gap.
Smashville
Wait a second... Is this...an Animal Crossing stage?! And the name...well... Go ahead and poke fun if you must.
It’s very clearly the world of Animal Crossing—even the changing scenery of day and night is determined by the Wii’s internal clock.
And what do you think of all those guests hanging out? There sure are a lot. It’s like they all came to watch the big event.
But there’s more...
If you play a match here on Saturday at 8PM...
Oh, I’m too excited to even say it!
That’s right, a live performance. It’s a good time to be alive...
Rumble Falls
This stage is based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, which was played using the DK Bongos.
The key here is to keep climbing up and up.
The screen slowly scrolls upward, so if you don’t want to get left behind, you’d better get to climbing. Oh, and don’t forget to pummel your opponents on the way.
The screen’s constantly changing, so it’s fun just to watch, too.
Hey! What’s at the top? Huh?
Hmm...I wonder...
Skyworld
Behold the Kid Icarus stage! You can go ahead and call it Pit’s home turf if you like.
The floor’s crumbling construction makes it easy to shatter...
Not having a floor does increase the danger factor, though. Why? Because it’s a long way down, that’s why!
Mastering this element is one key to gaining the upper hand. The floor quickly regenerates, so it’s important to keep your eyes on it.
Castle Siege
This stage represents the Fire Emblem world.
It’s an enemy castle in the midst of battle—but it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series.
There are plenty of scenes like this throughout the Fire Emblem series, aren’t there? So imagine it however you choose.
Fireballs launched by catapults dance in the skies above the castle. Then, as time passes...
See the stone statues in the throne room? You can break them to bits.
Oh, but it doesn’t end here.
What’s the underground like? You can look forward to finding out later.
Warioware
In the WarioWare games, you must master a variety of microgames in 5 seconds, making them the fastest and shortest games ever. You might want to look into it in more detail.
In trying to recreate that atmosphere in Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve created an outrageous stage!
Wh-what the heck is this? What is going on? What kind of joke is this?
For each challenge you clear, there is, of course, a reward.
Ah, what floor would you like, Smash?
Pokemon Stadium 2
The previous game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, featured Pokémon Stadium, but it’s been upgraded for this game into Pokémon Stadium 2.
This time around, you’ll see guest Pokémon appearing in the background.
But as time passes, the terrain transforms into four different types:
"Electric," "Ground," "Flying," and "Ice."
For these four transformations, we’ve chosen types that were not present in Melee.
Terrain that changes suddenly makes fights excitingly unpredictable.
Battleship Halberd
It has arrived! The Battleship Halberd! It’s Meta Knight’s battleship...isn’t it?
This stage begins in a hangar on the high seas. The platform follows the Halberd as it departs.
Eventually, you land on the ship’s deck.
Use extreme caution near the double-barreled battery! It launches beams and missiles and even attacks with its arm.
The Battleship Halberd appears not only in multiplayer Brawl stages, but also plays a very important role in The Subspace Emissary. That role is something you’ll have to look forward to.
Shadow Moses Island
This stage recreates the structure in front of the helipad on Shadow Moses Island.
Walls tower over the stage on the left and right, giving it a caged death-match feel.
You can destroy the walls on the left and right with attacks. Those who aren’t skilled at launching foes upward may want to be proactive about attacking them.
Oh, and occasionally a Metal Gear will appear from the background.
Apparently one other kind appears, too. It’s supposedly a slightly newer model.
On this stage, Snake communicates with his team to learn the key characteristics of his rivals... Whoa... Seriously?
New Pork City
The scale of this stage is one of the grandest in the Smash Bros series. The scale is, say, about as same as that Temple stage—you know the one I’m talking about?
It’s New Pork City.
It is a city of chaos.
At any rate, it’s big, so if all someone does is run away, there will be no end to it. But with so much freedom, it becomes a giant playground.
Also, a monster known as the "Ultimate Chimera" appears on this stage.
If this guy sinks his teeth into you, it will launch you off in one blow. It’s pretty much certain that if you get hit, you’ll lose a life. But there’s nothing you can do. I mean, it IS the Ultimate Chimera.
Pictochat
There are only a few nonsense stages in the only "slightly" nonsensical Smash. But there isn’t any stage more nonsensical than this.
PictoChat?! What is THIS?!
It’s a fun little sketch-and-chat software with wireless functionality that’s built into the Nintendo DS!
Of course, you can climb up on the doodles.
The doodles that appear will disappear after a while, and then something else will get drawn.
Oh, and on this stage, you’ll also be able to enjoy Mii Channel music and Wii Shop Channel music, too.
The Summit
The summit? The summit of what? If you must know, I suppose it’s the summit of Icicle Mountain. And I guess there are vegetables there after all.
At first glance, it appears to be a normal glacial peak. But after you fight for a while...
Hmm. Talk about hectic. And rumor has it, you can’t get careless once you’ve reached the sea.
Norfair
Norfair is the location in Metroid where the enemy boss Ridley was. There was a lot of lava, and it seemed like a rather hot area.
As you can imagine, the lava level will indeed rise and cover the platforms. It’s dangerous to touch it.
That dangerous-to-the-touch lava comes flowing from a number of places, so be careful.
The tension rises. Yes.
When the lava wave appears, a single safe area will also appear. If you can get in, you’ll be safe...but surely there will be quite a battle for that spot. Yet another bit of back and forth.
You can barely dodge the massive lava wave with a great jump, but it’s a little difficult. Besides, you KNOW you want to win the battle for that safe area.
Temple
First, take a look...
Could this be...
The Temple!
This is the Temple stage from the last installment, Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I think that based on my updates so far, you probably understand that we’ve created plenty of stages.
But we wanted to do more, so we’ve brought back a number of stages that appeared in the last game.
It’s...big...
It’s perfect for those who like pursuit.
We’ve tried to create an exact replica, but there may be a few areas that differ from the last game. I hope you understand.
In general, the Melee stages have the same background music as in the last game, but we’ve also prepared some tracks like this.
Mario Circuit
The Mario Circuit stage appears! Of course, we HAVE shown it briefly in past movies...
This popular series makes an impressive debut.
It’s a so-called figure-eight course, and you do battle at the crossing of the 8.
There are even grandstands in places you can’t see!
It hurts when the karts racing around the track hit you. They come in from the side and from the back of the screen, so be careful.
When they come from the front, look out below.
When they come from the side, look out above.
The karts are serious about their race. You can get a general idea of their location on the screen in the back, so pay attention to it.
You can actually make them wipe out, too.
Frigate Orpheon
This appears in Metroid Prime. It’s the first spaceship Samus infiltrates.
What you see in the background is the Parasite Queen.
Th-the power went out?!
For a spaceship that just causes trouble, it sure does have a lot of problems.
But what really defines this stage is the way it rotates 180 degrees.
The siren scream is a warning!
Suddenly, it flips...
The terrain inverts!
When the siren goes off, jump into the air to flee.
But when you’re in a pinch, so is your opponent. Stall your opponent to take advantage!
Yoshi's Island
The steep slopes on either side are its defining characteristic.
That central platform screams "accident!"
Corneria
Battle atop the Great Fox!
Of course, Arwings come flying in, too.
Onett
The offensive and defensive struggles on the buildings of Onett return!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out for cars.
Brinstar
It’s the dreaded, legendary ocean of acid!
The rising and falling ocean of acid changes the field of play greatly.
Rainbow Ride
Tour the course in this forced scrolling stage.
The boat sinks mid-trip and you embark on a roundabout tour!
Distant Planet
Pikmin’s protagonist, Captain Olimar, was forced to make an emergency landing on this unexplored planet.
Let’s just call it the Distant Planet for now, shall we?
The flooring in the middle of the stage is made of vines and is very bouncy.
As you play, you’ll see numbered Pellets fall from the Pellet Posies around the stage. Grab one of these and throw it into a nearby Onion to get items.
Here’s a Pellet and an Onion.
Also, this planet experiences frequent torrential downpours. When things get wet, you’ll want to stay away from the hill on the left, as it gets pretty treacherous.
Whoa, that’s some fierce rain right there!
Oh yeah—there are some fierce creatures prowling the area, so watch your step.
You sure it’s safe to stand there?
... ... What am I saying. Of course it’s not safe. Anyhow, take care that you don’t get gobbled up.
Chomp!
