==Stages in the 3DS All-Star Mode==
I've been watching every video I can find of All-Star Mode playthroughs, and I've put together a list of which stages I've seen.
*Stage 1 - Jungle Japes, Boxing Ring, Flat Zone 2 (I've also been told that Pac-Maze appears, but I haven't seen it myself)
*Stage 2 - Golden Plains, Mushroomy Kingdom, Gerudo Valley, Brinstar
*Stage 3 - Yoshi's Island, Mute City, Reset Bomb Forest, Wily Castle
*Stage 4 - Dream Land, Corneria, WarioWare, Inc., Green Hill Zone
*Stage 5 - Spirit Train, Unova Pokemon League, Magicant
*Stage 6 - 3D Land, Distant Planet, Tortimer Island
*Stage 7 - Rainbow Road, Prism Tower, Arena Ferox, Gaur Plain

==Exclusive stage modifications==
So I've noticed that there are some stages that behave differently only in All-Star Mode in ''SSB4-3DS'', different to both the standard and Omega forms (even with items off). There are probably more, but here's what I've noticed:
*In [[WarioWare, Inc.]], microgames never occur.
*In [[Green Hill Zone]], checkpoint lampposts never appear.
*On [[Tortimer Island]], fruits do not grow.
*On [[Magicant]], [[Flying Man|Flying Men]] do not appear.

Chronological Order[edit]

It seems that the All-Star Order in Brawl Seems to be going in the Chronological order of the series that the characters were released. If there is any confirmation on this, we could add it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono D. (talkcontribs)

Its says so on the dojo JtM =^] (talk) 05:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

First, sign your comments. Second, Sakurai confirmed this a long time ago (around April) here. And third, the order is for the Japanese releases; at least that's what Sakurai says. MarioGalaxyTalk 05:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I think the problem is that the images given aren't large enough. re's the data; Mr. AnonMatchupUnknown.pngtalk 22:12, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
The Brawl image could be larger, but replacing it isn't a necessity, and the Melee image is of high enough quality. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 22:56, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Stages in the 3DS All-Star Mode[edit]

I've been watching every video I can find of All-Star Mode playthroughs, and I've put together a list of which stages I've seen.

  • Stage 1 - Jungle Japes, Boxing Ring, Flat Zone 2 (I've also been told that Pac-Maze appears, but I haven't seen it myself)
  • Stage 2 - Golden Plains, Mushroomy Kingdom, Gerudo Valley, Brinstar
  • Stage 3 - Yoshi's Island, Mute City, Reset Bomb Forest, Wily Castle
  • Stage 4 - Dream Land, Corneria, WarioWare, Inc., Green Hill Zone
  • Stage 5 - Spirit Train, Unova Pokemon League, Magicant
  • Stage 6 - 3D Land, Distant Planet, Tortimer Island
  • Stage 7 - Rainbow Road, Prism Tower, Arena Ferox, Gaur Plain

Banjo and Kazooie's separate debut dates[edit]

Once Banjo and Kazooie are released, do we have to put in separate Japanese debut dates for the duo? Like Banjo debuted before Kazooie. Juju1995 (talk) 13:21, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Since they're one entity in Smash, they'll probably both be grouped by the proper release date of Banjo-Kazooie rather than Banjo's debut in Diddy Kong Racing. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 13:48, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Kazuya's debut date[edit]

The Japanese version of the original Tekken was released on Septemper 21, 1994, but Kazuya's debut date is from the worldwide release of the game. What should we do? Juju1995 (talk) 10:11, July 27, 2022 (EDT)

There appears to be two conflicting sources of information. Wikipedia notes Tekken's JP arcade release as September 21, 1994, citing the United States Copyright Office (weird for the Japanese copy of a Japanese arcade game, but whatever), and the international release as December 1994; the Tekken Wiki notes Tekken's JP arcade release as December 9, 1994, and the international release as May 12, 1995. There has to be something hidden in the depths of the internet that's flying under our (and potentially Wikipedia's) radar, because I highly doubt Smash is following information from a fanmade wiki about Tekken instead of Bandai Namco themselves. Aidan, the Rurouni 11:10, July 27, 2022 (EDT)
Tekken's official JP site lists the arcade release as December 1994 and PlayStation release as March 1995 (specifically March 31st). The Wikipedia page for Namco System 11 (the hardware Tekken was developed for) that was released in September 1994 cites GamePro issue 068 page 38 for the 1994 release of Tekken, though it only explicitly mentions Q1 1995 for the PS release, it also says "arcade gamers have already seen Tekken", so in arcades before Q1 1995. Old archives of one of the English Tekken sites and the Japanese site lists a 20th anniversary event for December 2014, 20 years ago would be December 1994. I think Dec 1994 is much more likely than Sept 1994. --CanvasK (talk) 12:36, July 27, 2022 (EDT)
