<small>(reset indent)</small> I feel that Kongo Falls separates it from Kongo Jungle, where we can delete the disambig page and say "these stages are two different things, they used to share a name but now they don't."

:Is this the first time a returning stage has been renamed? I'm in agreement on using Kongo Falls to both reflect its latest name and remove the disambig page. It doesn't necessarily require much of a name change if we keep Kongo Jungle (SSBM) as a redirect when talking about ''Melee''; Kongo Falls applies when talking about its ''Ultimate'' incarnation and the stage in general.

I suggest we wait on the game to come out first. We have to consider that the stage isn't just a simple port like in past titles, it's completely remastered. Although it is effectively the same stage, we don't know if certain changes were made to differentiate it from Melee. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 02:55, 24 June 2018 (EDT)
Final decision is '''Wait until the game comes out, then move to ''Kongo Falls'' if nothing silly happens'''. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 13:31, 24 June 2018 (EDT)
:I [https://giphy.com/gifs/cheezburger-video-games-videogame-w6MNHOoLEzBVm object] to that 'final decision'. What new information could we possibly get from this point onward regarding this stage? I see no reason to make a decision on what to do now.<br>At the very least, why don't we '''make a redirect now'''? We can always move the page over it later if need be, and as long as nobody plays with it, anybody can do it.

I would like to add that the official website's blog also names the stage as "[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat11_stage Kongo Falls]" (and even the Japanese name has been changed from "Kongo Jungle", and is now called "Raft and Waterdfall" instead, though how relevant that is to us is up for debate). Judging by the description, the images provided, and the short video clips seen from the E3 Direct, it appears that the stage is unchanged with the exception of a graphical update and a name change. As such, the evidence is lacking that any drastic changes will be made to this stage.

Agreed with SK; wait to move. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 02:32, 5 July 2018 (EDT)
At this point it is undeniable that the stage uses the name Kongo Falls in ''Smash Ultimate''. The only reason not to start using this name is the decision to permanently use the ''Melee'' name in respect to its original title - as the above discussion revealed that we're largely in agreement of changing to Kongo Falls if that proves to be the name in ''Ultimate'', I say there's no time like the present.

:So, it doesn't appear consensus has been reached yet (even if you count "Wait to move" as "Move").

:::Not necessarily. I put SK and Miles as "wait to move"; they want it moved, but also want to wait until after the game is released. For "wait" I put: Nyargleblargle since, though he supports a move, he wants to see what the community calls it first and go by that; Bwburke94 to see what the stage ends up being called after release; and Pokebub for his concern on how different this stage could potentially be from the original (which, to me, seemed to imply a new article).

Listen guys hold on a minute here. Let's just do this: Any move/stage/anything that may require a split/move as a result of the new game, we should really wait until release so we can be sure of what we are talking about. It's important to remember that what we've seen so far is NOT A RELEASE VERSION, and it shouldn't be treated as such. Any aspect of the game we know can be changed in any way, so trying to come up with stuff like this is a giant waste of time. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 17:22, 15 July 2018 (EDT)
<s>How do I do this?</s> I'm voting to wait. The name may change back upon release, we can't be certain. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 18:36, 15 July 2018 (EDT)
I'm voting to '''move to Kongo Falls''' <s>if this is still open</s>. This stage is clearly Melee's Kongo Falls, and the two should share a page; this is consistent with both versions of Wily Castle and both versions of Gaur Plain sharing pages, despite the fact that the stages are not the same. There's also no precedent of late name changes (especially those that've been highlighted), so we shouldn't blindly assume bad faith.

It seems pretty clear that this is what the stage will be called at this point.

I would like to bump this discussion/proposal now that the final game has been leaked. It has been shown that the new name is retained in the final release and I reestablish my '''Support''' for moving this page to [[Kongo Falls]] along with the other stages to their new respective names.

: '''Support.''' It seems to me that the main reason ''Ultimate'' renames a bunch of stages is to disambiguate. We should follow suit to reduce confusion caused by the similar stage names. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 20:37, 26 November 2018 (EST)
