Stage legality

Banned stages are stages that are banned from most official tournaments. These stages can be banned for several reasons, including:

• Providing an unfair advantage for a certain character
• Allowing players to abuse glitches in the game
• Completely re-vamping the strategies needed to win (such as Temple and Icicle Mountain)
