mountains look amazing

 

[_Alkaline_]

Wait, are the day/night cycles for EVERY stage, or just Battlefield?

Different stages undergo different changes.

Battlefield changes for day to night than to day again, and Yoshi's Island goes through different seasons.

So the Yoshi's Story music will be played on this stage, correct?

 

[Shorty]

I loved the style of the stage back then when the nintendo world trailer was released. It definately looks even better in motion!

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Nice stage. Introducing the change of seasons is not a bad idea.

 

[dfyb]

looks great. looks like an awesome stage, too -- nice, long, flat.

 

[Hero]

Wow, awesome. I always wished they had done Yoshi's Island instead of Yoshi's Story in the older games.

 

[DarkKyo]

Wario's ****ing screwed.

Wrong! Mario is doing his uppercut into link!

 

[RiskyChris]

I'm glad they're still designing stages without ridiculous gimmicks.

 

[underfooter]

Wait a second.


Do the Battlefield and Yoshi's Island day/season changes have to do with wii's internal clock?


If so that'd be awesome. It'd be so cool for a stage to change four times a year.

It changes during the battle...

I think it simply changes at time intervals during matches. Waiting months for a stage to change appearance wouldn't be too appealing as a whole to the players.

I don't think so. If this would be true, then you should wait the winter season to see the stage change and this has no sense.

 

[NotWii]

I love this stage.

Can't wait to hear the music for it.
Yoshi's Island's music was leagues better than Yoshi's Story.

Either the internal clock but it almost might take the weather from the Forecast Channel?

 

[RagnarokX]

I love how Raphael the Raven's moon is in this pic. I guess maybe it goes through day/night changes in addition to the seasonal changes.

 

[Oblivion]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

Animal Crossing says "Hi!"

I think we already have - the Yoshi Story ending music was released the other day. I think it will likely be for this stage.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Why would Yoshi's Island have Yoshi's Story music?

 

[flipping_heck]

looks like a typical stage, nothing exciting, kinda bland while seasonal variations keep it varied.. not bad update.

 

[Oblivion]

One track that I would LOVE to see in the game would be Super Mario Bros. 3's ending theme. Probably my favorite ending theme in all Mario games. (with SMW's ending theme being a close second)

 

[_Alkaline_]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

Well I could always be wrong, that's just what I gathered from Sakurai's words.

 

[underfooter]

Well, although I love the super-cool, huge, fast-paced arenas, the game does need some smaller, more casual ones. This one looks great as one of those quick-match small platforms, I love the hand-drawn look from Yoshi's Island. Suprisingly enough, the characters fit into the level perfectly even with clashing styles.

 

[Nintaiyo]

Animal Crossing says "Hi!"

This is a fighting game, not a life simulation.

 

[MindCollizion]

Animal Crossing says "Hi!"

He meant it made no sense for a FIGHTING game.

EDIT: Why am I always beaten!? lol

 

[_Alkaline_]

Why would Yoshi's Island have Yoshi's Story music?

I just realised Melee had two Yoshi stages, so yeah, you're probably right.

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

Can anyone say with any certainty whether the stage "seasons" will change according to the system clock ala Animal Crossing?

That would be cool.

 

[Stop It]

The pastel stage of Yoshi’s Island...
Mmm... It feels nice and peaceful here.

The central platform tilts to and fro.

Happy clouds

Interesting stage, sugar sweet backdrops to violence, do want.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I love how Raphael the Raven's moon is in this pic. I guess maybe it goes through day/night changes in addition to the seasonal changes.

And Chain Chomp is in the background here.

COME ON, SAKURAI. WE NEED FUZZIES.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Personally I doubt it - I think it'll just be a set time limit for each season before it changes to the next one.

 

[BGBW]

Ah Yoshi's Island, just as I predicted.

It is cool to see that even the simple stages have lots going on.

 

[Branduil]

Do you think all the scratchy "border lines" will be animated?

The background ones are.

 

[_Alkaline_]

It would be great if chain chomps occasionally came from the background and squashed anyone in their way (like YI).

 

[Cygnus X-1]

I just realised Melee had two Yoshi stages, so yeah, you're probably right.

The stage with the pipes wasn't so nice... I had the impression that it was "too plenty of".

 

[Oblivion]

Ah Yoshi's Island, just as I predicted.

Oh, you know damn well you didn't predict NOTHING!

HEY GUYS LOOK THIS GUY'S A BIG PHONY! A BIG, FAT PHONY!

 

[jrricky]

Wrong! Mario is doing his uppercut into link!

no he is not. he's just jumping and doing his fireball attack.

 

[Screenboy]

Although its not confirmed, its most likely that the main feature of this stage would be the seasonal changes, so I wouldn't expect them to change via the system clock.

 

[Jiggy]

Finally, a Yoshi's Island stage in the Yoshi's Island style, none of that Yoshi's Story or Super Mario World stuff. Love it. Maybe they felt empowered to bring it back because of the DS sequel. That'd be enough to make me forget about and forgive the horrid soundtrack of YIDS for a mo--


...Oh, man. Now I'm going to have nightmares or something that they'll use the Yoshi's Island DS music in Smash. :|

 

[RagnarokX]

And Chain Chomp is in the background here.

COME ON, SAKURAI. WE NEED FUZZIES.

Yeah, fuzzies should be a hazzard. If you touch one, your character becomes dizzy and harder to control. If you use a wiimote in your control set up, distorted music plays from the speaker

 

[Zerodoppler]

Wow! They should make a Yoshi's Island 3 for the Wii that looks like this.

 

[MindCollizion]

Although its not confirmed, its most likely that the main feature of this stage would be the seasonal changes, so I wouldn't expect them to change via the system clock.

The highlight of this stage is its seasonal changes, as it goes from spring to summer to fall and then winter.

.

 

[SovanJedi]

We saw this stage in the last trailer, but I'm glad to see the beautiful, beautiful screenshots anyway.

(And yes, I do remember the chalk outlines around everything being fully animated too.)

Support Ghost and Chain Chomp make me very happy!

 

[DefectiveReject]

2D stage and background has we pleading for WW Link in this game.

Looks really nice and it is rather contrasting seeing 3D lifelike characters in a 2D cartoony world.

 

[Count Dookkake]

He meant it made no sense for a FIGHTING game.

And we all know how much Smash Brothers relies on the conventions of FIGHTING games. :lol

 

[_Alkaline_]

Wow! They should make a Yoshi's Island 3 for the Wii that looks like this.

With egg shooting controlled via the pointer.

 

[Danthrax]

Welp, looks like another fairly generic stage, design-wise. I'm really uninterested by this one, even though the season changes sound kinda neat.

Show us Snake's stage!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Considering we saw the seasons actually change in the last trailer, it's safe to say they're not system-clock dependent.

 

[superbank]

The upper platform tilts, huh?

Woot, a way to measure relative weights among characters in Brawl

Nice catch! I rewatched the Nintendo World trailer and it does change angles as you fight. Although in the video it doesn't seem to tilt with the weight of the characters. Maybe in the final game it will.

Also in the trailer, right at the beginning, Marios Air Forward A Attack makes Pikachu (standing on a platform) fly backwards. Please don't do that to his move! Mario has the coolest looking Spike in the game.

 

[NotWii]

COME ON, SAKURAI. WE NEED FUZZIES.

That would be so awesome!
