Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. Most Smash players will recognise this place from previous games in the series, where the world was represented in a pixel-art style reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros.

But why the "y" on the end of "Mushroom"? WhatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the difference?

Oh, so thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s why!

This time around, weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve designed a stage that recreates the layout of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. Ã¢â‚¬â€œ but with rich backgrounds added to the mix.

The stage scrolls forward at a leisurely pace.

Pieces of familiar scenery scroll by.

The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.

YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning.

Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage!

This is the famous World 1-2. This oneÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s also quite charming.

I really want to try that stage! But I don't like too much the new music.

*continues to wait for Geno... but not as patient as recently*

I don't think Geno will ever arrive

Lantis · **Posted:** January 24th, 2008, 10:36 am

You shush... he will-

You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE!!!

*runs off sobbing uncontrollably*

I'm not sure if I should post this here or just make another topic.

Earthbound and the original Fire Emblem are confirmed for VC and Classics mode in Brawl.

If you scroll down, you see a MOTHER2 pic, and a Fire Emblem pic. Hopefully, this confirms these games for US. I wanna see how the original Fire Emblem plays, since the remake is freaking impossible.

From Brawl Central: A ray of hope for Lantis

Geno Trophy Spotted in SSE Video?

Update: After examining a screencap of the video, zooming in and playing around with the image a bit, it is not Officer Jenny FOR SURE. It looks like a split between Geno and Munchlax. The mid section looks like Munchlax, but there is a darker color taking up the bottom half of the body, and after looking at a Dojo pic, Munchlax's blue color goes all the way down to his feet. I guess the bottom line is, we're not going to be able to tell whatever it is. It raises the question of Geno, but from the looks of that tiny thing, it could be 10 different characters. Yay for speculation.

I just received an email from sederwren, pointing out the possible appearance of a Geno trophy in the following video. The trophy looks very much lke Geno. I'll let you take a look and judge for yourself, and then offer my personal take on it. Look in the lower right corner by Diddy at 1:55-1:58.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AzpmFLy3P-0&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AzpmFLy3P-0&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Now, what does this say about Geno's chances of being a PC, if that is indeed him? At first I thought this hurt his chances, but then I thought about how it looks a lot like his original SMRPG model. There's no way Nintendo would get the rights for Geno to appear only as a trophy in Brawl. Also, there is a WW Link trophy, so perhaps different versions of characters (i.e. 8-bit Mario, SNES Geno, ect) appear as obtainable trophies in SSE. So if it is fact Geno that just appeared in that video, the argument for hurting/helping his chances could go either way.

But still... I didn't get that nice feeling I got grom seeing Melee's intro for the first time years ago...

YES. I hope so...

Makes next to zero sense to NOT include Earthbound, I mean, it's not like they don't already have a translation done.

Guarionex · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 1:40 am

Hmm.. at the end of the intro (in the press start screen) you can see the copyrights info...

-Nintendo (Self Explanatory)
-HAL Laboratory, Inc. (Kirby series)
-Pokemon Company (Self Explanatory)
-Creatures Inc. (MOTHER series)
-GAME FREAK Inc. (Pokemon)
-Shigesato Itoi (MOTHER series)
-APE Inc. (MOTHER series)
-Intelligent Systems (Fire Emblem series)
-Konami Digital Entertainment Co. Ltd. (Metal Gear Solid series)
-SEGA (Sonic series)

I wonder... could this mean we shouldn't expect characters from games not made by them, or will the list increase when you unlock more characters?

Potential spoilers in the following link:

12 seconds in, supposedly the roster of characters from the Japanese build of the game. I question how real it is, considering the disappointing lack of [spoiler]Miles "Tails" Prower[/spoiler] yet the odd inclusion of [spoiler]King K Rool[/spoiler]. Although if [spoiler]Lucario[/spoiler] really is a playable character, I will be happy.

Guarionex · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 2:01 am

That's fake. If you search for that pic elsewhere, it does''t have the big question mark. So it seems gametrailers added the question mark.

Aaaaanyway.. right now the game is being "leaked" and there are at least 3 "not yet revealed in the official page" characters: [spoiler]Marth, Ness and Luigi, but Marth and Ness where in the intro already and Luigi is one of the original vets so...[/spoiler]

Duel · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 2:34 am

The character roster is going to overwhelm me.

><

Guarionex · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 2:43 am

New leaked pics keep coming. For the mother 3 fans: (Spoiler ahead!)

The opening made me cry with tears of joy.

Lantis · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 10:37 am

O_o

*takes a few steps backwards towards the exit of the thread... pauses briefly... then makes a mad dash to leave*

*only to hopelessly fall into a Regal Hole*

I find it interesting that there are so many characters... and eventually, people will just fall in to a set few and only use them. I'm sure everyone will use most the characters in single play to unlock everything... but when you are playing with friends, it'll usually just end up being a select few.

Ah well...

I would like to bring up a topic that spawned in the chatroom yesterday.

Genji, Dray, and I were talking about how we played smash. I brought up that I don't like using times. While Genji and Dray were of opposition.

And I can understand to a point what they mean by it inhances gameplay and makes things more frantic and such.

But my side is that the items are generally broken. If you are playing someone who is on par with you... a -100 heart could be the diffrence between the entire game. Same thing for the giant mario hammer from the original donkey kong.

I think that your skill in smash should be from how well you play with a character... not which items land infront of you. When I'm playing with Kajak and all of his crew, we all prefer to shut the items off.

Any other oppinions?

1ce · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 12:01 pm

No sign of capt. Falcon or jigglypuff yet?

I usually play timed with all the items. Makes matches more fun.

Lantis · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 12:03 pm

Assuming that picture is correct, you get both.

Also assuming that pic is correct... there's no Geno. ;_;
