March… Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!
So, March came, and I went. To get Brawl. XD
And it’s been fun. The only thing that makes me sad is that the stage creator is as limited as it is. I was hoping it would allow people to essentially create a remake of the original “Hyrule Castle” stage, but that’s not possible since the stage builder only supports single layers.
I came up with some nice designs for a “remake” they could make based on Twilight Princess that would be very similar but have still many differences (as “Green Greens” and “Brinstar” essentially were of original stages). Basically, it takes place on the perimeter of Hyrule Castle as opposed to on top of it. In fact, one would battle on top of the main gate, and the castle itself would appear in its full glory in the background. The big difference would be Two towers instead of just one, and no go-inside-able thing on the right side. See if you can tell what I mean based on this screenshot of Twilight Princess I ripped off from the internet:
Of course, one might want to scale down the castle in the background just a little bit so that it doesn’t entirely dominate the entire screen.
It could occasionally rain on this stage, which would reference A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time but more specifically Twilight Princess. What could be done here is, music already in the game could be choosable for this stage, except for one music track which I would add: The Hyrule Castle theme from A Link to the Past. It’s pretty much been in every game since then anyway, so it’s going to be in the minds of anyone who plays Zelda anyhow. Otherwise, I’d have the Main theme (like in the original SSB), the Hyrule field theme (a reference to OoT), and Midna’s Desperation (A reference to TP). Probably something else, too, but I forgot.
I also think not to at least have *one* song from Super Mario Galaxy is an insult, and, I know it came out soon before it, but, seriously, I think Nintendo should be able to access its own stuff, even if it IS in development. Though ideally I think there should be a stage of the Comet Observatory, featuring The comet observatory theme along with the Bowser Battle music, the Good Egg Galaxy music, and then throw in rainbow road (which is already in Brawl).
In other news, I deleted the BCA review podcast, because it was stupid. Maybe some other time.
And I know with Uru Live canceling, I’m going to have to stop using images from Uru on my home page, or at least should, but I just can’t help myself.
Okay, bye.
