Worst Stages?

[FlourtownBrown]

Other than the obvious (Wily Fortress), what stages did you not like. There were a couple of bad stages in brawl (hint hint mario circuit) and there's bound to be some here. List them!

 

[Reila]

What? Wily Castle is amazing.

The worst stage is Pac-Land. It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Definitely Pac-Land.

Scrolling is too fast, the brutal screen changes aren't cool, there's no ledge snap, the retro graphics don't have the same charm as the 75m or Duck Hunt stage...

There's a lot of problems with this stage to be enjoyable.

 

[Cha Cha San]

Pac-Land.

I also dislike the ridley stage because he kills me when I'm doing crazy orders.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I've only played the 3DS version so far and there aren't any stages that I have an outstanding problem with so far. Based on its goofy huge size, I'm probably going to loathe the Great Cave Offensive though.

 

[Makaronileo]

Eashy, yellow devil and 75M!

 

[Heroine of Winds]

The Dr. Wily stage was atrocious. Besides this, I don't think I like the Pac-Land stage much either.

 

[NinjaWaddleDee]

Haven't gotten the Wii U version yet, but I loath Mushroomy Kingdom and Paper Mario on 3ds.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Pac-land, Palutena's Temple, and 75m are the worst stages so far.

 

[Smallgenie549]

Lylat Cruise is still dumb as ever, and Jungle Hijinks is just plain awful. Flat Zone X and Orbital Gate Assault also leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Mrkaoz]

Pac-Land. Uuurgh. So much anger, so much frustration.

 

[TJ-Works]

Pac-Land. Haven't even unlocked it yet, but I never really looked forward to it to begin with. I'd rather the Pac-Maze stage was shared between both versions instead.

 

[FullMoon]

75m and Duck Hunt are the main ones for me. The others I don't mind as much simply because I'm a very laid-back person, but those two stages really bother me.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Lylat Cruise is still dumb as ever, and Jungle Hijinks is just plain awful. Flat Zone X and Orbital Gate Assault also leave a lot to be desired.

Thanks for reminding me of Orbital Gate Assault. Although, I don't really find much fault with Lylat Cruise though.

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

75m, it was bad in brawl and it's still bad in smash 4, why they bring this stage back is beyond me.

 

[Maxoxpower]

dont understand the hate for jungle hijinx , palu temple and great cave offensive...
but wily castle suck with the yellow devil and i really hate Pac-Land and ridley stage.

i really miss CORNERIA

 

[Jae]

I must be the only one who (grew to) like Pac-Land :x

It's ugly to me, but something about its MS Paint look has a certain charm to it. It's better than Mushroomy Kingdom at least IMO. Still, I would've preferred Pac-Maze to be brought over instead.

Worst stage for me would be Flat Zone X due to how closed in the blast lines are.

 

[Raijinken]

I wouldn't call Wily's Fortress obvious, but that's because I don't consider "has a hazard" to be a valid condemnation.

Pac-Land, Orbital Gate, Great Cave, 75 M, and Palutena's Temple are probably the five worst (though in no particular order), in my opinion.

 

[RodNutTakin]

Peach's Castle from the original, because it makes NO SENSE.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Pac-Land without a doubt. I also am not a fan of 75m either. Palutena's Temple despite being very gorgeous is way too big even for 8 players. We had an 8-player game on it and it took forever compared to Temple, Great Cave Offensive, etc.

 

[RespawningJesus]

dont understand the hate for jungle hijinx , palu temple and great cave offensive...
but wily castle suck with the yellow devil and i really hate Pac-Land and ridley stage.

i really miss CORNERIA

Palu Temple is bad because there is too much going on, and it just feels like a pretty version of a poorly designed custom map.

 

[KirbySS44]

Am I the only one who likes all the stages equally?

 

[LF2K]

Pac-Land. Does it even need to be said?

 

[Xzsmmc]

Wily Castle, Gaur Plain, and Pyrosphere. Three guesses why.

 

[Naoshi]

What? Wily Castle is amazing.

The worst stage is Pac-Land. It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

As a huge Mega Man fan, I think Wily's Castle is a disappointing stage personally.

 

[Maxoxpower]

maybe a patch will add an option to add boss/hazard off/on but.... i don't have hope..

The Great Cave Offensive: This stage is humongous, has a ton of stage hazards, and has many caves of life, which makes fighting on this stage a massive chore. Speaking as a Kirby fan, I am disappointed that the new Kirby stage was this and not something from the newer games (like Nutty Noon from Returns to Dream Land).
Palutena's Temple: Speaking of massive stages, this stage is horrible because of its size. Look at how massive this stage is; it makes KOing someone a pain. This is attributed to one half containing a big cave of life (with a powerful spike ball) and the other half has a large area near the bottom of the stage where there are tiny platforms and a ton of space to fight on; the latter area is Little Mac's nightmare. I actually died a few times trying to unlock Dark Pit because you have to 1 v 1 him on this stage.
Wily Castle: The stage would be great if it wasn't for the Yellow Devil. I think that he takes up too much room and he is pretty intrusive on the action.
Pac-Land: It's a poorly designed stage with terrible aesthetics. The stage is a pain to fight on, it's nearly equivalent to moving on a straight line, I am not a fan of the music selection, and the stage is not pretty to look it (it could be done in MS Paint).
75m: Why the hell was this brought back? It isn't designed to be suitable for a Smash Bros. stage; it is actually tricky to navigate in. The stage hazards are also pretty powerful...
Mario Circuit (Brawl): Speaking of stages that I don't understand returning, why was this brought back? It's a boring stage with a boring layout and it's boring to fight on. The new Mario Circuit is laps ahead of this terrible stage and it makes the Brawl one look redundant.
Yoshi's Island: I like this stage, but it's horrible in 8-Player Smash. The stage isn't good for the chaos that is going on.

 

[Kevandre]

I still hate Flat Zone 2/X

Pyrosphere sucks. Wily Castle too.

 

[BubbaDuke]

I understand that the original Donkey Kong was a classic and easily recognizable by most people, but 75m really should not have returned. That stage is awful.

Pac-Land isn't a joy either. I only played on it once when I unlocked it. I turned it off on the random selections immediately after.

I'm not a fan of the bosses. They were a cool idea, but they have too much of an impact. I'd rather they just come in for one attack. The current design has them pretty much apprar and decide who wins.

 

[Makaronileo]

Y everyone hate Pac-Land???
Iz cool.

 

[MeleeMasterRace]

Not too big of a fan of Wily Castle, Pyroshpehere, Pac-Land, Jungle Hyjinx, Mario Circut, Big Battlefield, Bridge of Eldin, and Wrecking Crew (which isn't too bad but I don't like playing on it). The big issue is the fact that I cannot turn off stage hazards. I really hope an update can do that but beggers can't be choosers.

 

[PrincessLucina]

Wily's Castle is so dissapointing because it should be an amazingly fun stage but everything is ruined by the Yellow Devil.
Pac Land is awful, for obvious reasons. I hate it more than Mushroomy Kingdom, which is saying something.
I can't stand playing on Wrecking Crew. I don't know why.
I also don't care for the new Star Fox stage, but it's name is slipping my mind.
Really missing Corneria and Fountain of Dreams.

 

[kantoskies]

The Great Cave Offensive is waaayyy too big, even for 8 players. It's nearly impossible to find your character, let alone keep up with them.
Brawl's Mario Circuit is really boring and is even worse in this game with the actually good Mario Circuit stage they should have brought back Melee's Peach Castle instead
75m is so frustrating because all of the obstacles send you flying crazy far, plus it's practically impossible to fight anywhere other than the very top
Wily Castle is unplayable when the Yellow Devil is out, aka like 95% of the fight
I'm never a fan of stages that use retro graphics, and Pac Land has to be the worst offender. The graphics they use are hideous, and no edge-grabbing is stupid. The only good thing is the default music for the stage is so catchy :s
I really didn't like Pokemon Stadium 2, it was ugly (I mean it was Brawl after all) and its music sounds like it uses Pokemon Stadium's (the N64 game) soundfront. Bringing back the 1st one from Melee would have been much better because the transformations were better, it was better-looking, and it would have been another Melee stage (we got 3 Melee stages and like what, 15 Brawl stages? please)
I actually really liked Gaur Plain in the 3DS version but now it's unplayable (gee I wonder why). I'm actually okay with Pyrosphere though, probably because Ridley isn't as annoying as the other bosses.
Smashville is fine as a stage, but having it with Town and City is sooo redundant. Plus Town and City just makes Smashville just look really bad (I mean Wild World and Brawl were both ugly games so it's to be expected). I guess this is more of a gripe with Town and City just being Smashville 2 and them not doing something more creative with the AC franchise like Tortimer Island but ah well.

And I was always okay with Mushroomy Kingdom. I'm usually pretty tolerable with (horizontal) scrolling stages and at least it bothered to have new graphics instead of being yet another 8-bit styled stage.

 

[Fathom778]

Can't stand Orbital Gate Assault.
Also Pac-land isn't that good.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE NEW SONIC STAGE! (Windy Hill I think?)
But it appears I'm the only one that still likes Willy Castle.

 

[GunGunW]

Gamer, Great Cave Offensive, Pac-Land, Wily Castle.

 

[Ferblantier]

Pac-Land looks and plays terrible. 75m is better, but still bad. And Yoshi's Island is annoying as ever. Especially on 8-Player Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

Master Fortress.

It counts.

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

75m. Terrible in Brawl. Still terrible in Sm4sh.

Also hate Wily Castle strictly for that Yellow $@%T Head.
Everything else about that stage is great!

Also not too fond of TGCO.

 

[Tino]

The Great Cave Offensive is the absolute worst in my opinion. It's just ridiculous.

 

[Etc_Guy]

Mine would be Wily Castle (Yellow Devil), Great Cave Offensive (Too big for Smash), and Orbital Gate Assault (Ships as platforms was good in 64 through Brawl). I'm the few who likes Pac-Land since they got rid of Mushroomy Kingdom (from the Wii U version).

75m, it was bad in brawl and it's still bad in smash 4, why they bring this stage back is beyond me.

Why not Mario Bros.?
