One of the stages is a [[Test (stage)|large, gray stage]], with the background appearing to be some kind of pub. The music is the same as used on {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}}'s stage [[Corneria]]. The stage's purpose is outlined by its ; the background image is also a common image to use in OpenGL testing. | ||
In addition to TEST, there exist four other stages: [[AKANEIA]], [[IceTop]], [[10-2]] and [[DUMMY]]. All four will immediately crash the game if they are accessed normally, though other hacks allow some stages to be used. AKANEIA was likely a Fire Emblem themed stages, as it shares the name with the primary setting of the first Fire Emblem game, which also starred [[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]]. However, even with hacking, no one has successfully accessed the stage. DUMMY, when hacked into, is simply a black background with a lone invisible platform. IceTop and 10-2 are both simply [[Icicle Mountain]], albeit without the music; IceTop's use remains unknown, but 10-2 was to act as another Ice Climbers stage in the [[Adventure Mode]], as 10-1 is the internal name for the Ice Climbers stage in the Adventure Mode. | In addition to TEST, there exist four other stages: [[AKANEIA]], [[IceTop]], [[10-2]] and [[DUMMY]].

Finally, | Finally, {{SSBM|Sheik}} seemingly was originally planned to have her own [[Target Test]] stage, separate from that of {{SSBM|Zelda}}; the remnants of the stage, however, consist only of a single dark grey platform and three targets. | ||

Finally, All-Star Mode was intended to have intro screens, almost identical to the ones found in Classic. They were ultimately removed, though they are still fully accessible in the Debug Menu. The earliest Classic Mode intros also looked radically different from the final version's; these versions featured no map or background, and the artwork used for the characters differ considerably from the final versions. Later beta Classic Mode intros had slightly different looking icons on the top of the screen for the "map", and the background the characters were on was considerably brighter than the final product's. | Finally, All-Star Mode was intended to have intro screens, almost identical to the ones found in Classic.

Early versions of the game also had different [[Topi]] trophies. While the final version had a vaguely Yeti-looking creature, it originally was a seal-like creature. The seal is believed to have been removed due to the controversial subject of seal clubbing; while a highly volatile topic in North America and Europe, the issue is rarely brought up in Japan. | Early versions of the game also had different [[Topi]] trophies.

The original boxart for ''Melee'' did not feature {{SSBM|Link}} or {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, nor did it feature Mario dodging Bowser's attack; it instead featured Mario being attacked by Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] move. The locale featured also has considerably brighter lighting. This design can be seen on GameStop's website. | The original boxart for ''Melee'' did not feature {{SSBM|Link}} or {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, nor did it feature Mario dodging Bowser's attack; it instead featured Mario being attacked by Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] move.
