Some corrections: (PictoChat 2): The Wario nose drawing is actually based on the WarioWare Touched title screen, as those same jumping noses scatter around the screen in that game. (Pac-Land): Ms. Pac-Man's design in the international version is based on the Pac-Man cartoon at the time, as with all the other character designs in that version.
One thing I love about Mushroom Kingdom 64 is the Buzzy Beetle jumping in the spring in the background. It looks like it’s having so much fun, it even does a flip :D
2:32:17 An extra thing to note about Mario Maker on Smash 3DS is that if you play on the Omega form, it will cycle through all four styles since it doesn't have to worry about randomization and whatnot.

Kraid appearing in Brinstar Depths in Melee is a nod to his appearance in Super Metroid where he was also fought at Brinstar Depths since Kraid's Lair was destroy in the first game.
Brinstar Depths IS Kraid's Lair. Just different names used in different games. The areas are the same because Kraid's Lair was not destroyed in Metroid 1, only Tourian exploded. It looks different in Super Metroid to not reuse the same rooms from Metroid 1 and add more variety.
Fun fact! The Shiekah runes that appear on the platform that appears after you break the tower on The Great Plataeu Tower stage spells out "Smash Bros".
Funny story: a week before the star wars force awakens movies would premier, and I already had my ticket, the miiverse stage spoiled me on the ending of the movie. I was like "what the actual f". I was so pissed at the stage I refused to play on it every again.
@@HerbyRuths I think it was something like "han gets killed by his sith Lord son" or something (it has been quite a few years) but quite the coincidence it happened to you too
I'm fairly certain that happened to everyone who played the miiverse stage i also saw such comments around the time. I would have been upset but I'm more of a star trek fan anyway
My favorite stages from each game are: Smash 64: Hyrule Castle Melee: Rainbow Cruise Brawl: Green Hill Zone (even though I'm kind of sick of the stage thanks to Sega reusing it over and over) Smash 4: Wily Castle Ultimate: King of Fighters Stadium
I wish there was a nether portal for every stage variation in minecraft. Maybe when someone damages the portal it brings the stage into the nether, which has 3 settings. The soul sand valley, warped forest, and crimson forest.
Fun fact: the trees in the backgrounds of the Minecraft stages don’t actually all sit on real blocks. At one point I planned to build all of the Minecraft smash stages in a world, but as that world was unfortunately deleted, I only ever completed the omega version of the stage, which always uses the village appearance. If I’m remembering correctly, neither of the background trees sat on an existing block, but instead were placed in between where two blocks normally would be. The best I can assume about why they did this is that I guess it might look slightly better placement wise, although I only noticed the difference when actually placing the blocks in game, so I don’t think it actually changes much in the visual aspect
Some extra things: 1. In the background of Onett, there is a large excavator. There are no excavators in Onett, BUT there is one in Dusty Dunes Desert. This is probably just a little reference, as an excavator still fits well into a city setting. 2. During the Distant Planet segment, you talk about The Forest of Hope, but accidentally show footage of The Impact Site instead. Whoops! 3. It is true that Buzzbombs don't appear in Spiral Mountain, but they do appear in the game's opening. This is why I assume Buzzbombs appear in Spiral Mountain besides the usual vegetable enemies.
You forgot about the Neckies (the vultures) that fly over Kongo Jungle 64; and the Goonies (Seagulls), Happy Flowers, and Chain Chomps of Brawl's Yoshi's Island.
I'm not sure how much of a reference it is or if it's just coincidence, but I think it's neat how in Sky World you can't go down through the platforms until you smash them and then you can. Just how like in Kid Icarus there are some tiles you can go through and some you can't and it REALLY matters sometimes.
It should be noted that the music in Onett not only isn’t from Onett, it’s not even from the second game. It’s an arrangement of “Bein’ Friends” from the first game. It plays on the overworld when Ninten has somebody in his party, and is one of several songs that had lyrics written for it on the soundtrack album.
I think Castle Siege is most closely based on Path of Radiance, since the flags are those of Daein (the enemy country in that game). I remember people speculating that Ashnard was going to be in Brawl because of this.
Still kind of cool that there’s a small nod to PokéFloats in Detective Pikachu. May not get it as another stage, but it’s nice that it’s remembered. (Pikachu Vs Mewtwo fighting on top of the Pokémon floats)
If I had to choose 1 favorite stage from every game: N64: Hyrule Castle Melee: Temple Brawl: Castle Siege 3DS: Pac-Maze Wii U: Jungle Hijinx Ultimate: Yggdrasil’s Altar Here’s my favorite Battlefields throughout Smash: 1. Brawl 2. Melee 3. Wii U Favorite Final Destinations: 1. Melee 2. Wii U 3. 3DS

Been marathoning your smash references videos! Congrats man! This is what smash means the most! How rich those games are! So glad for your videos this way more people can get to know how incredible the contents in smash are and you keep the Sakurai and team work alive. Do you by any means have plans to do with all the spirits too? Thanks again!
My favorite stages from every game are: From Super Smash Bros. 64 Dream Land, Kongo Jungle, Saffron City, and Hyrule Castle. From Super Smash Bros. Melee: Princess Peach's Castle, Rainbow Cruise, Kongo Falls, Great Bay, Temple, Corneria, Venom, Yoshi's Island (Melee), Brinstar, Brinstar Depths, Green Greens, and Fourside. From Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Mushroomy Kingdom, Delfino Plaza, Rumble Falls, Frigate Orpheon, Yoshi's Island (Brawl), Halberd, Port Town Aero Dive, Pokémon Stadium 2, Spear Pillar, Pirate Ship, Castle Siege, New Pork City, Summit, Warioware Inc., Skyworld, Mario Bros. Shadow Moses Island, and Luigi's Mansion. From Super smash Bros 4, the stages shared between both versions: Boxing Ring, Duck Hunt, Wily Castle and Gaur Plain. And I love all the DLC stages. From Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS: 3D Land, Rainbow Road, Paper Mario, Golden Plains, Spirit Train, Gerudo Valley, Unova Pokémon League, Prism Tower, Mute City SNES, Magicant, Reset Bomb Forest, Arena Ferox, Pac-Maze, Find Mii, and Balloon Fight. From Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: Mushroom Kingdom U, Mario Galaxy, Mario Circuit (Wii U), Skyloft, Jungle Hijinxs, Kalos Pokémon League, The Great Cave Offensive, Flat Zone X, Palutena's Temple, Gamer, Garden of Hope, Coliseum, Pilotwings, and Wuhu Island. From Super Smash Bros Ultimate,: New Donk City Hall, and Moray Towers. And finally for the DLC stages: Mementos, Yggdrasil's Altar, Spiral Mountain, King of Fighters Stadium, Garreg Mach Monastery, Spring Stadium, Northern Cave, Cloud Sea of Alrest, Mishima, Dojo, and Hollow Bastion.
Honestly find it very strange that we never got a stage based off of Gyromite, just remixed music. It also makes ROB The Robot the only playable character that has never had his own stage which just doesn’t seem right to me. I mean, I guess Delfino Plaza, Mario Bros, Pictochat, Pictochat 2 or Wrecking Crew can work but it’s still odd. I have always found it cool that ROB is the only character that was a toy before becoming a video game character though.
For Mushroom Kingdom II, I like to think that it’s more so based on Super Mario Advance, as that was a launch title for the GBA, which launched the same day as the GameCube. Something that has always bugged me is that Sakurai said Smash 3DS was supposed to represent the “handheld history” of Nintendo. And by that, they meant that of the 20 original exclusive 3DS stages, 12 were based on 3DS games, 3 based on DS, 1 original GameBoy, 2 based on SNES, 1 NES, and 1 Arcade.
I have no doubts in my mind that the reason you can't use your own minecraft world for Smash is because roughly all of them would have many, many "body parts" that they were having a hard enough time censoring with stage builder.
The stages of the Smash Bros series are such a huge staple for the franchise. Without them and unique mechanics, Smash Bros would just be another fighting game, but with Nintendo characters.
Hey Aaronitmar! How about you do an items origin? I am very curious on some of the various items that are in Smash bros, like where they come from and the references. Like the Super Scope is from a real Nintendo controller of sorts. That would be really interesting to learn about, even if I’m a competitive player who doesn’t play with Items
For Spring Stadium there's also the arches at the top of the stage that bounce anyone that was knocked into them downard and also the monitor screen in the background showcasing all the different fighters of ARMS when in the home game it of course only showed Spring Man exclusively.
Fun fact: When the stage first got released; the display of Spring Man on the moniter had an error where Springtron’s emblem was displayed instead of Spring Man’s. This got fixed in a later patched.
also wanted to point out that the stage onett has a bulldozer in the background, which is taken from the desert section of the game, even though there's no bulldozer in onett
4:33 I wonder how this looks to kids today. I started gaming around the time Super Mario World came out, so Super Mario Bros already looked a bit old. When Smash Bros came out, that stage looked super trippy because it was the first time you would see those ancient 8-bit graphics in 3D. But now that 3D must look ancient to anyone who grew up with a Switch!
mementos is not completely optional in persona 5 there are several points in the story where you have to go there Spoilers: most notably when it is first introduced you go in, and use what you learn there to discover the crimes madarame committed, after morgana temporarily leaves your party, you ambush him there to try to convince him to rejoin, and at the very end of the game, you are required to fully explore mementos to get to the very core of the collective unconscious in an attempt to change the hearts of the public as a whole(leading to another dungeon at the very bottom of mementos) if you dont explore mementos throughout the game, you have to go through the entirety of it in one day
I'm only a little bit into the video but I'm already wishing there was WAY more visual representation for the origin of things. Ie, for the Smash 64 Mushroom Kingdom stage, you show like 2 seconds of NES Super Mario Bros. and that's it. Why not a quick shot of how the Balance Lifts work in that game? Or showing what the castle looks like. To talk about the "Origin" of stuff, it really helps to actually SEE the origin instead of just listening to you talk about it...
I remembered Hanenbow's existence but forgot its entire mechanic because my Brawl disk got damaged somehow and the only effect it had was crashing the game whenever Hanenbow was selected. Technology wack
The Banzai Bill Hazard in Peaches Castle has been referenced in the Super Mario Bros Movie where Bowser summons the Banzai Bill to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom only to be stopped by Tanooki Mario.
30:30 according to Bulbapedia, Sprout Towers was scrapped very early in development. Unfortunately the questionnaire linked is in Japanese, so I can't confirm.
I just ended up pasting the entire thing into Google Translate, and Sakurai does say "in the beginning of development", so Sprout Tower was most likely not scrapped late into development. Here's the corresponding answer: "実は、開発当初は 『マダツボミの塔』にでもしようかという ハナシがありました。 結局いまの状態に落ち着いたのですけれど・・・" which poorly translates into: "Actually, at the beginning of development I thought I might call it "Madatsubomi (Bellsprout's Japanese name) Tower.'' There was a flower. In the end, I settled into the current situation..." If someone here knows Japanese, maybe you can get a better translation lol
Mario Circuit of Mario Kart 8 has advertisements such as Mario Motors, DK Energy, and Mario Kart TV. The latter is used as the warning sign for the platform to go up and move.
Oh no, now I'm the one to notice details that the video poster may have missed. I've never wanted to be _that_ guy... The Piranha Plant in Mushroom Kingdom matches the red coloration of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels specifically. You didn't mention this directly, but the shark on the Tormiter Island stage is in reference to it being catchable specifically at that location in the original game. Also, I think you're the only person I've ever heard see the Miiverse stage as a failure. I see it as an unintended success.
On the Super Mario Maker stage, slopes appear. This two wasn’t in Mario Maker, but it was added to the sequel. Weirdly becoming more accurate to that version.
In ultimate the exclamation points appear on the switches in princess peach’s castle melee and Ms pac man sprite in pac land international version is ripped from the Hanna barbera cartoon pac man
Slight correction with Castle Siege, the guy on the on the throne is inspired by the Black Knight but not him since there are noticeable differences in design
Small grammatical error I wanted to point out when you mentioned the Church of Seiros characters in the Garreg Mach stage. The character Rhea's name is not pronounced as "Ray" like the fish, but instead as either "Rhee-uh," which is usually used to describe a species of South American ratite birds, or "Ray-uh," with this pronunciation being how Three Houses choose to call her. Though given how the ladder's pronunciation is structured, it's understandable to see where the initial error happened. I mention this since her name is derived from the Titan Rhea, a figure in Greek mythology who was the Queen of the Titans alongside her husband Cronos, and later the mother of the Olympian gods, including Demeter, Hades, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, and Zeus.
What is your favorite stage in ALL of Smash history?

Since they changed the name of Super Happy Tree in Ultimate, I was hoping they’d also change Mushroom Kingdom II’s name to Subcon. But no such luck.

4:33 I wonder how this looks to kids today. I started gaming around the time Super Mario World came out, so Super Mario Bros already looked a bit old. When Smash Bros came out, that stage looked super trippy because it was the first time you would see those ancient 8-bit graphics in 3D. But now that 3D must look ancient to anyone who grew up with a Switch!
the qr code at 2:30:37 being to your channel is really cute
I remember playing the Miiverse stage when The Force Awakens came out and learning “Lucina killed Han Solo”.
mementos is not completely optional in persona 5 there are several points in the story where you have to go there Spoilers:
most notably when it is first introduced you go in, and use what you learn there to discover the crimes madarame committed, after morgana temporarily leaves your party, you ambush him there to try to convince him to rejoin, and at the very end of the game, you are required to fully explore mementos to get to the very core of the collective unconscious in an attempt to change the hearts of the public as a whole(leading to another dungeon at the very bottom of mementos) if you dont explore mementos throughout the game, you have to go through the entirety of it in one day
Fun fact: in ultimate, you cannot use moon as an assist trophy cuz it is in the background
For kirby influence for future games it's just because Sakurai is the creator of Smash bros and Kirby
I'm only a little bit into the video but I'm already wishing there was WAY more visual representation for the origin of things. Ie, for the Smash 64 Mushroom Kingdom stage, you show like 2 seconds of NES Super Mario Bros. and that's it. Why not a quick shot of how the Balance Lifts work in that game? Or showing what the castle looks like. To talk about the "Origin" of stuff, it really helps to actually SEE the origin instead of just listening to you talk about it...
1:23
Maybe it was removed so you could pretend the camera in Smash is being hold by a Lakitu. Or at least this stage.
i just woke up to this video playing. it’s 4am and i have no idea how i got here
I don't think you can defeat the Dark Lord in Find Mii. He's invincible.
Alternate title: *SMASH FACTS TO FALL ASLEEP TO*
I remembered Hanenbow's existence but forgot its entire mechanic because my Brawl disk got damaged somehow and the only effect it had was crashing the game whenever Hanenbow was selected. Technology wack
The Banzai Bill Hazard in Peaches Castle has been referenced in the Super Mario Bros Movie where Bowser summons the Banzai Bill to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom only to be stopped by Tanooki Mario.
Actually, Don't Move is probably based on Fragile! from WarioWare: Twisted, where if you move, an egg breaks.
Onett legally sells kids drugs. I love Earthbound
just now found out that hanenbow was in brawl, i just assumed i got every stage possible
30:30 according to Bulbapedia, Sprout Towers was scrapped very early in development. Unfortunately the questionnaire linked is in Japanese, so I can't confirm.
I just ended up pasting the entire thing into Google Translate, and Sakurai does say "in the beginning of development", so Sprout Tower was most likely not scrapped late into development. Here's the corresponding answer:
"実は、開発当初は
『マダツボミの塔』にでもしようかという
ハナシがありました。
結局いまの状態に落ち着いたのですけれど・・・"
which poorly translates into:
"Actually, at the beginning of development
I thought I might call it "Madatsubomi (Bellsprout's Japanese name) Tower.''
There was a flower.
In the end, I settled into the current situation..." If someone here knows Japanese, maybe you can get a better translation lol
Lit Video
BTW
What GameCube Game would you want to see on Switch!
Mario Circuit of Mario Kart 8 has advertisements such as Mario Motors, DK Energy, and Mario Kart TV. The latter is used as the warning sign for the platform to go up and move.
Oh no, now I'm the one to notice details that the video poster may have missed. I've never wanted to be _that_ guy...
The Piranha Plant in Mushroom Kingdom matches the red coloration of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels specifically.
You didn't mention this directly, but the shark on the Tormiter Island stage is in reference to it being catchable specifically at that location in the original game.
Also, I think you're the only person I've ever heard see the Miiverse stage as a failure. I see it as an unintended success.
Video idea: Smash Character Origins
Covers the orgins of a character's move and references.
(Ex: Mario's side B uses his cape from Super Mario World)
I came for the information, but also the music. Ah, so freakin nostalgic, but also genuinely great soundtracks.
Who else noticed his tone changed completely at 1:14:46
On the Super Mario Maker stage, slopes appear. This two wasn’t in Mario Maker, but it was added to the sequel. Weirdly becoming more accurate to that version.
In ultimate the exclamation points appear on the switches in princess peach’s castle melee and Ms pac man sprite in pac land international version is ripped from the Hanna barbera cartoon pac man
I wish Uniracers could have be included in Smash Brothers - Damn Pixar -
Slight correction with Castle Siege, the guy on the on the throne is inspired by the Black Knight but not him since there are noticeable differences in design
At 13:42, it kinda resembles the houses in the abandoned underwater town in Super Mario 64. It didn't have trees though lol!
Small grammatical error I wanted to point out when you mentioned the Church of Seiros characters in the Garreg Mach stage. The character Rhea's name is not pronounced as "Ray" like the fish, but instead as either "Rhee-uh," which is usually used to describe a species of South American ratite birds, or "Ray-uh," with this pronunciation being how Three Houses choose to call her. Though given how the ladder's pronunciation is structured, it's understandable to see where the initial error happened.
I mention this since her name is derived from the Titan Rhea, a figure in Greek mythology who was the Queen of the Titans alongside her husband Cronos, and later the mother of the Olympian gods, including Demeter, Hades, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, and Zeus.
Mementos Depths is also the final dungeon of Persona 5
