Even though the actual choice of track could have been better, the implementation looks great. It would have been so easy to use it as a glorified background, but it's nice to see them incorporating the skewed dimensions well.

I get what you are saying. I still hope the game isn't that huge. I hope it is 15GB at most.

Sakurai and the team made him look pretty decent here.
If there is no Ridley playable at all ever for this game then I think it's now fair game for interviewers and such to ask what Sakurai's opinion is on a playable Ridley. In more detail than what we heard way back in 08. I think I would be content with his response as long as there are no more double meanings to it like in 08.
Pyrosphere looks great. Usually metroid stages are pretty lazy where you have a pretty bland set of platforms floating in front of a metroid background, but Pyrosphere is the first Metroid stage to actually look like it's taking place in the environment it's taking place in. You're actually fighting on the platform where the Ridley boss fight took place. The only problem is that Ridley might be too obtrusive.
I'd say the most disappointing Metroid stage was Frigate Orpheon. Metroid Prime has so many great stage posibilities and they choose the fight with the parasite queen, which wouldn't be anyone's choice but would be fine if they hadn't done such a poor job theming the stage. Such wasted potential.
I don't think any other track is better than Mario Circuit to represent Mario Kart 8 in Smash.

Man, another stage ruined by a pointless gimmick. Just because someone doesn't wants hazards doesn't also mean they want just an entirely flat stage. What the hell is wrong with them? :/

Tower of smash
So after studying the Octopus picture for a bit, I do think that it's the Pirate Ship stage, but you can see some sort of tower-looking object in the upper right hand coner veeeeery faintly. Can anyone identify what this is? Tower of the gods?

Hopefully one or both of Wuhu Island/new Mario Circuit aren't too janky...

Unless they redesigned the water in that stage to no longer look like wind waker, I doubt it.
Too transparent.

The water isn't see through in Pirate Ship, so it's not that.

But I can't tell what stage it is. That's not what the water looks like on Wuhu Island either. Maybe Delfino Plaza? But the water's not blue enough here. I really don't know.

But it can't be Wind Waker because the water has transparency.
we want smash to be the customizable experience that its supposed to be, please ;_;

As in "Heathcliff"

I can't really see it as Pirate Ship stage because the colors are so different. I think it's Wuhu's beach.
Gonzo, I always picture the actual Gonzo from the Muppets talking when I read your posts, it's quite amusing! :-D
That Mario Kart 8 stage looks amazing.
I can picture the bird going "I'm watching you..."
It's from the Game and Wario stage right?
lmao

Maybe. I guess if we're playing the Legendary Card with Rayquaza showing up, maybe the "Boss" can be Diancie? Wigglytuff might be a cool addition, though...
Definitely. On the one hand, I have no idea why we don't have a Bowser's Castle stage yet, but on the other, that usage of the anti-grav looks extraordinary.
In the games it used a multi-directional elevator, whereas the white explosion is in line with how the Reset Bomb Forest worked in Uprising, so hopefully, it's the elevator here.
Definitely. If there really was a post-Direct press event, I really hope someone had the guts to ask why Ridley's been in every game but the 3DS one, yet each time he gets the shaft in terms of playability. It's just too weird, especially because he's been highly requested since Melee, even! After the Mega Man reveal, wasn't he the most-wanted character worldwide, too?
At this point I feel like I should also quote this and point out that the water is different. I want people to think I fit in.

Agreed. I thought Frigate Orpheon looked cool at times, though, like when the lights dimmed and the warning lights started flashing.
RE: Pyrosphere: I wonder how the alien creatures will be used. The rotund black fellows and the heavy red pillbugs you can carry around. We saw how the robots work -- you hit them to make them fire a laser. But I wonder how the alien creatures function.

Holy shit guys!
There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but Cloudtop Cruise or Mount Wario would have been much more distinctive and still representative of the aesthetic of the Mario Kart series as a whole, especially with Brawl Mario Circuit showing up as a past stage.

Yo, but check this: did anyone notice the water is different?
When you lose, it says "Game Ogre"Holy shit guys!
I agree; this stage doesn't look like Wind Waker at all, not even if they brought the stage back as Pirate Ship HD. I don't know what it could be, and Pirate Ship's my most wanted classic stage from Brawl, including what we've already seen, but it looks like it's not getting in this time around... Unless the DLC gods smile upon us.

All the bonus of Pyrosphere taking place on an actual Metroid location is negated by it having a shit ton of annoying hazards (Ridley is like Flying Man but the size of the Yellow Devil?!) and is based on a game that has the most generic and bland art style ever. It's absolutely held back by Other M's sorry excuse for original art direction.
And Ridley being roided out duck Ridley doesn't help matters at all.

Mario circuit is also a really compressed stage. It's not wide/sprawling, so it's probably easier to make a stage out of it. Also, the track is a figure 8, like mario kart 8.
Variety would be nicer than having 2 'mario circuit's

Yep, and the bird is a recurring Warioware character called Pyoro. Even has his own game on the DSiWare.

There's no real reason to think this. We know Pokémon Stadium 2 is an unlockable. It also seems ridiculous they would take the time to only recreate ONE N64 stage, which we also know is unlockable. Classic stages being unlockable sounds pretty typical.

Yes, that's what a serif font looks like. Though the green does remind of Shrek.
For all the JonTron quotes to be GIF'd, I'm surprised "You didn't have to go there but you went there anyway" never got that treatment, because of posts like this.
I got screwed up by the Honedges dropping down. Haven't played X in months.

The 50 facts direct on the front page of youtube, most successful direct yet?
I don't think Ridley is nearly as annoying as the Flying Man. For starters, you have to deal a certain amount of damage to him in order for him to join your team, so it's not like Flying Man where he always appears in the same spot every time and all you have to do is touch him, forcing everyone to guard the upper-right platform. Also, he's a huge target that's easy to hit, he appears to have phases between attacks where he just flies around, and defeating him counts as a KO.
I don't know. He might be fun!

But the stage isn't based on a non-Awakening Fire Emblem.
Is it really "his own," though? I mean, I spent some of that free $20 they gave early DSi adopters on Bird & Beans, but it's just the 2 Pyoro games from the first WarioWare. Either way, he's a major character to the series, so I'm elated to see he got in!
I know that about unlockable classic stages. However, at this point, Zelda already has 2 classic stages. I know Mario has 3, but it also has, like, 7 stages overall, whereas I doubt Zelda's getting that many (I mean, just look at the 3DS version!). I can see them adding a 4th Zelda stage, but I doubt it's going to be the Pirate Ship unless, again, they do a Classic Stage DLC Pack. If any more Zelda stages get in, they're probably going to be new, or Hyrule Castle 64.
