Cutting HALF of Smash Ultimate’s STAGE Roster!

4:28 Alternative idea: cut both Mario Kart stages and bring back Rainbow Road from Smash 3DS, considering how it's a more iconic course and looks more unique

[@vanessasandoval96]

Yes definitely bring back 3DS Rainbow Road but look on the bright side it’s now in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and play as none Mario character in it with Link and Villager from smash 4 and also Inkling Isabelle that weren’t smash 4 so definitely bring back rainbow road

[@Odyssey_Central]

[@gregericson4868]

15:43 I'm a Pikmin fan but I'm 100% sure you said the Peckish Aristocrab in your ranking stage hazards video. But I'm glad you chose Garden of Hope since in my opinion it has a better layout and hazards. It also comes from my favorite Pikmin game Pikmin 3.

[@marcelopaulo446]

Distant planet sucks so much,what were they thinking with that slop

[@Pikachu_Gamer123]

aye, you are right there

[@SenderBender63]

It’s a better reference to the series as well, distant planet fits but feels more loose than garden of hope which is directly referencing an area in Pikmin 3 which I prefer

[@gregericson4868]

​@@SenderBender63 And idk what Distant Planet is supposed to be. First off, why does that water push you off? I've played all the Pikmin games and it sometimes just rains on random days and it doesn't affect gameplay. Second of all, what are those leaves and vines? Why are the Onions on them? Why is the Bulborb so big? There's so much about this stage that makes no sense.

[@djinnspalace2119]

removing fountain of dreams is i n s a n e

[@Reeboi11]

Man I can't believe you cut the really forgettable Windy Hill Zone and kept the really iconic Green Hill Zone.

[@erwan3204]

As a Xenoblade fan, you made the right choice there, Gaur Plains is a memorable and jaw-dropping early game location and even though there's much more beautiful stuff later on in 1, that's the first place that shows you a glimpse of what this game is capable of. While the Cloud Sea of Alrest as a whole is iconic to XC2 fans like I am, you quite literally never get to freely roam around Gramps's back in XC2 (which is the titan the stage is on), so even though his role in the story is iconic and it represents the game as a whole better, my choice would be Gaur Plains too

[@chesqen]

Definitely. As a XC2 fan, I'm still genuinely baffled they didn't choose to make Mor Ardain or Tantal the stage to come with Pyra and Mythra.

[@gabrielcalderon6715]

​@chesqen or even gormot or lefteria

[@baileylynn5562]

As much as I hate Gaur Plains in Smash, it’s too iconic in Xenoblade to cut

[@topatoman]

As a Xenoblade fan I disagree but only because Gaur Plains is ass to play on as a stage

[@hihigocat]

⁠​⁠@@chesqen What parts of Mor Ardain or Tantal would you want them to make into the stage? For Mor Ardain, the desert/factory really don't seem too appealing to me. Tantal has the advantages of ice and snow being less represented in Smash, and the scenery is more interesting to traverse in XB2, but I don't really like that too much either. My two picks pre-release were the Cloud Sea or Olethro Ruins on Uraya. Cloud Sea was executed exactly how I'd have thought it should so no complaints there. My reasoning for Olethro Ruins was due to its story relevance, being a fairly open arena, and how gorgeous the sunset would be.

[@HippothePotamus]

11:00 My brain is screaming at me that this is a joke about the PS2 being the best selling console even though it would make no sense.

i'd be fine with cutting half the smash stage roster if it meant we'd get a bowser's castle stage

[@Luis-yh9xd]

Honestly I’m surprised that we’ve never got a Bowser’s castle stage even though it’s such an iconic setting that has been in every Mario game.

[@BlueMarioGaming]

@@Luis-yh9xd "erm ackshually, bowser's castle appeared in the paper mario stage! 🤓👆" Jokes aside, a bowser's castle stage would go so hard, and there's a ton of possibilities for cool hazards too. It's probably my most wanted thing if there's ever another smash bros

I genuinely think they should have added 8 Deluxe Rainbow Road, it does make sense.

Yeah so it could be same thing when you play as a none Mario character in Mario Kart 8 deluxe as still Link and Villager in smash 4 but also Inkling and Isabelle from ultimate to play in Rainbow Road 3DS

[@terrysyvertson9205]

sakurai himself said ultimate's huge roster can never ever happen again, that includes the stages

Why no Sun and Moon stage when Incineroar is in smash so here my idea of a Sun and Moon stage Alola Island : traveling stage takes you to Iki Town in Melee Melee , on top of Wela Volcano in Akala Island , Mount Lana Ke La on Ulu Ulu Island and Vast Poni Canyon in Poni Island

[@SharpX0]

Good. The larger the roster gets, the more it hinders development. Ultimate had the worst single player content (at least imo) because they had to devote a lot of time to the huge roster.

[@pmahcgop6693]

@@vanessasandoval96they probably wouldn’t add a stage for a Pokemon game that isn’t one of the most recent ones. If they do make a new smash game I could see area zero being a really cool stage that’s either the past or future version when you enter, but can choose on stage select by holding a button. Paradox mons can jump out of the background to attack with a small chance for miraidon or koraidon to show up.

I think colosseum should stay but as a Smash original stage,since it does in fact appear in victory screens,in custom stages and in Homerun smash it's just sad they didn't elaborate its lore a bit more and instead just kinda added it in the background while trying to introduce it as something it's not

Ngl I think you should eventually do a cutting the smash roster in half video. A good idea would be to do it when the next smash game is announced since that’s probably only a few years away

[@UltimateFunBilly]

A theory for why Pac Maze was cut was because its stage gimmick relied heavily on the 3DS having each players be on separate screens.

[@PikaPhantomVG]

I'm surprised you didn't feel the need to justify keeping PictoChat 2. It took me a bit to realize the idea there was probably because it is the only stage to represent built-in Nintendo software (aside from Miiverse) and, by extension, the only one that really leans into their hardware outside of Flat Zone X. Also, I think it might've been fun to do a version of the stage lineup that opened the door to past stages returning - even if odds are it would've just brought over Rainbow Road in the place of Mario Circuit, Pac-Maze over Pac-Land, Mute City from Melee over Big Blue, and maybe Jungle Hijinx as a second DK stage (I get that Stage Morph exists, but I believe some stages prevent it from happening at certain times, and they could've easily just kept that for when fighters go into the background.)

[@kidtrunksfan]

[@kaplooeygames8515]

Pretty solid selection. My only real disagreement is that while Mario Circuit is a more well-known track from a more well-known game, I think Figure-8 Circuit is a more unique Smash stage, if only because Mario Circuit is just another traveling stage like Skyloft and Port Town Aero Dive. Also, as a XenoBlade fan, I'd say both of its stages aren't great, though Gaur Plains is certainly the more notable locale (mostly for the music and scenery, not much happens there in-game). Both games could have had much better stages

I've heard that it's actually based on a trio of chapters from Roy's game. Despite releasing in Brawl, the stage was originally planned for Melee, and the 3 sections are potentially loosely based on chapters 7, 8, and 8x from Binding Blade.
