I finally have a reason not tosell my pointless stack of SD cards!

Stage Builder


You can create your own stages this time?! No way. REALLY?! With a feature like that, won’t I be able to play this game forever?!



Apparently it’s true...!!!

Those who enjoy a little effort may be able to enjoy this stage builder for the rest of their lives.



First, start from the initialize setting.

You start by choosing the size of the stage, the background pattern, and the music that will play. Oops! Sorry. For music, you’ll only be able to choose from the songs you have available.



This is the edit screen!

Basically, you choose parts from the palette on the side and place them in the field.

The controls vary by controller, but each one can do the following:

* Flip parts left to right
* Enlarge or shrink parts
* Zoom in or out on the screen
* Swap palettes
* Erase

...Among other things.



Just place terrain however you like. Chuckity-chuckity-CHUCK!

Then try it out!

Modify it and try it... Repeat as necessary. Make your own ideal stage!



Mmm... That’s amazing.



And you can save a name and a comment for the stage.

You can change the music on the save screen. Choose something that matches the mood of your stage.

And I’m happy that this is compatible with SD cards. You don’t have to worry about size, so make as many stages as you like.

Also, if you’ve finished registering someone as both a Wii Friend and a Smash friend, you’ll be able to send custom stages to each other.

Now, for those who hate putting effort into such things, we’ve also prepared something you can enjoy as well.



"Submit" ...?

That’s right! You can use your Wi-Fi connection to send stages you’ve made to Nintendo! (However, you can’t submit repeatedly. Maybe just once per day?)

And a stage selected from the entire daily collection will be sent from Nintendo to your Wii. A stage made by someone else will come to you over the Internet once per day!

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! That’s the shocking truth. This means you’ll be able to experience a new stage every day—the flavor of the day, if you will. However, the plan is for that stage to vanish once one day has passed. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

You can submit in both the Snapshots mode and the Stage Builder mode, allowing everyone to enjoy the creations of others. The fun of sharing is one of the ways that I wanted to take advantage of Wi-Fi for something other than pure battling.



Today’s stage has lots of traps...

This is our ideal current plan. We still don’t know the exact service period. And future tuning may result in changes to the spec.

But for now, please look forward to it!

The very first thing I make will be.... a recreation of Hyrule from Melee, but made out of floating metal platforms. Several open wide areas, and then one tiny floating platform hidden at the bottom for all the UBZ bragging rights.

OMG! I'll be spending hours trying to make the perfect stage. awsome!! i hope that there will be many different options to use. i'm just shocked at how much you can fit in a game. i dont think theres a game out there with this many awsome features/modes.

I shall also make a GIGANTIC BOX with only one hole halfway up the left wall, so to get a KO you have to have good aim.

What update can top this? and the rest of the week will probably suck, compared to this anyway.

SWEET JESUS!!

Thats awesome! I can't believe I didn't think of it =P

Before I wasn't that upset that Brawl was delayed because I have so much other stuff to play that I figured it would be for the best in the long run...but right now..I really wish it were coming out Dec 2nd still =P

Even though I haven't played it yet, this update alone tells me that after February I will play this game more than every other game combined in 2008.
