Past Stages: Difference between revisions

In ''Melee'', three '''Past Stages''' were available. They are replicas of their ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' counterparts, complete with music and backgrounds.  All of these stages must be unlocked, unlike in the original game. The stages also seem to be slightly larger in size than before.

In ''Brawl'', they are referred to as '''Melee Stages''', as only stages originating from ''Melee'' reappear. As a result, this makes ''Brawl'' the only game where stages from the first ''Smash Bros.'' do not appear. These stages now utilize the functions of [[My Music]], like most stages in ''Brawl''. According to the DOJO!!, the stages are arranged so the player can get one from each game world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/stages/stage32.html|title=Smash Bros. DOJO!!}}</ref> This turned out to mean each universe that was represented in the original game, all of which had multiple stages in ''Melee''. Unlike the Past Stages of ''Melee'', some Melee Stages have had minor edits (which are listed below), while aesthetically remaining largely the same as ''Melee''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

Known as '''Familiar Stages''' this time around, the selection of returning stages in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' differs depending on the version. This is the first time that returning stages aren't solely from the directly-preceding game, although the selection is still primarily made up of ''Brawl'' stages, with all ''Melee''-originating stages having also made ''Brawl'' appearances. Unlike in previous games, returning stages appear in both the [[Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)|Wii U]] and [[Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)|3DS]] versions of Classic Mode, as some of them are the only stages representing their respective [[universe]]s. Like ''Melee'' and unlike ''Brawl'', these stages appear with normal stages, rather than on a separate page. However, unlike ''Melee'', which gave the stages their own section at the bottom, these stages are merged right in with the normal stages, possibly because there are so many.

 

Like [[Temple]], some of the textures on the 64 stages are touched up slightly, but in general most of the original look is retained. Also, the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' stages have '(64)' at the end of the title.

Nearly every stage from previous games make their return in ''Ultimate''. This time around, stages from every game preceding it make their appearance, from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' to ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. All past stages, most noticeably those from ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''3DS'' receive a visual update, though stages from the first game retain their primitive polygonal aesthetic, likely due to nostalgia reasons. Every stage also comes with a [[Battlefield form|Battlefield]] and [[Ω form]].
