Editing CD Factory

[[File:CD Factory.jpg|thumb|right|A typical CD Factory in action]]A '''CD Factory''' is a custom stage that is designed to assist in the collection of [[CD]]s and [[sticker]]s. While the design of a CD Factory can be changed by the designer, it generally involves the use of conveyor belt running against another to trap the [[Sandbag]] and its contents (in [[Brawl]]) or the use of [[Master Ball]]s to spawn many [[Mew]] (in [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]).

The idea behind a CD Factory involves setting all [[item]]s to off with the exception of the [[Sandbag]]. In doing so, Sandbag becomes the only item that spawns on the stage; hitting the item ordinarily causes it to release further items per its base behaviour, but as all other items are off, Sandbag instead is forced to drop stickers and CDs. The intent of the conveyor belts is to keep Sandbag in place as it is attacked, as well as to potentially corral other Sandbags into the area between the two belts.

 

==In [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]==

 

Because Super Smash Bros. for Wii U lacks the conveyor belt parts essential to Brawl CD Factories and CDs were removed from the items spawnable by Sandbags, a conventional CD Factory is not possible. However, the Stage Builder can still be used to farm CDs, trophies, and [[equipment]]. The newly-introduced [[Master Ball]] item spawns the trophy, custom part, and CD-dropping [[Mew]] much more often than normal [[Poke Balls]], making it a useful farming tool. A typical Smash 4 CD Factory contains a single U-shaped platform, and has [[crate]]s and Master Balls set to a high spawn rate. (Cannons may also be added to lock CPU players in an infinite loop, preventing them from interfering or inadvertently stealing CDs.) The player then simply smashes crates and throws Master Balls until Mew spawns, collects dropped items, and repeats as necessary. This method is less efficient than a Brawl CD Factory, but can still produce results with some patience.

Due to the lack of both CDs and the Stage Builder in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]], CD Factories are impossible in that version of the game. However, the same item strategies as above could be applied on a normal stage to farm trophies and custom parts.
