The lengths of the side platforms for Dreamland is actually significant for peach players - you can do a down throw reaction techchase combined with a standard chaingrab on platforms to rack up huge damage, and when remembering the %s that it stops working each platform is different. The left platform works to about 80%, while the right platform can sometimes squeeze out another down throw. Now the TOP platform being significantly bigger means that by the time this down throw chaingrab stops working, you can up throw > nair and usually kill, resulting in an almost 0 to death from a grab for Falcon (chaingrab % starts at around 10%). The fact that the top platform is bigger makes you able to 0 to death spacies/falcon (although it's much more easier/practical for bad reaction techchasers on falcon). I'm sure there's something similar for other characters with the top platform in particular.

[@ASliceOfYoyleCake]

big brain

[@violetchan6402]

It also affects waveland timings, which can kinda mess with you if you’re trying to practice it specifically for dreamland.

[@Deadgye]

While Mario can still auto-cancel his up-B on both lower platforms, it's a couple frames slower on the right platform.

[@mlalbaitero]

Falco can also platform dash from ledge on right side while whispy is blowing to the right. he can't on the left side while whispy blows to the left (I think)

Ness's jab foot hitbox is extremely useful because it lets you jab reset if you land behind someone after dair. I recall it almost being removed from PM at some point, presumably because a dev said "why the hell is that there?", and all the Ness mains revolted.

Roy's player select always bothered me, and I couldn't figure out why until this video. It also appears to be bigger than any other character. And that also explains why I would get hit by ness when standing behind him. I always assumed it was just jank hitbox getting caught on his front jab.
