Correction on Spirit Train: Alfonzo takes charge of the engine if ANY Link is present in the fight - that includes Link or Young Link (in Ultimate). Actually, the Toon Link in Wind Waker (the one who's represented in the roster) and the Toon Link in Spirit Tracks are actually from two different generations.
Easy. Locally the first person to collect the power pellet gets to basically be invincible with a powerful active hit hitbox. And online it can be how it was in 3DS.
How they were able to put this game on the 3DS and have it running every bit as well as it did on the Wii U still blows my mind. Even after Ultimate, I still go back and play this game for the novelty alone.
@@teen17 yeah but i did play on 3ds and it was plagued with lag when trying to play local multplayer, hell, even without multiplayer certain things could cause the game to lag too.
The Zapdos cameo in Lumiose City is also a reference to another aspect of Pokémon XY The Legendary Kanto Birds are roaming Pokémon in the post-game so that explains its presence here. Interestingly, you can only get Zapdos if you picked Fennekin as the starter
One thing to note about Arena Ferox is that in Smash 3DS the stage is based on how the arena looks in Awakening's battles, while in Ultimate it takes on its appearance from Awakening's cutscenes
35:46 correction: all Miis can wear whatever you want them to, there is just a higher chance that they will react negatively if you give them clothing that is of the opposite gender of theirs.
22:11 Could also be an advertiser for one of Diantha's movies as she is canonically a famous actress. So much so that she's often disguising herself in public not to be spotted, while doing normal things like shopping or going in a café
It is crazy how most of the memorable and good stages from smash 4 are 3ds exclusives We have the 2 pokemon stages, the nintendogs, pac maze, rainbow road, the fire emblem arena, gerundo valley, 3d land, spirit train, the earthbound one too On wii u other hand, we have some of the worst, the star fox one which is one of the easiests to die by accident, the metroid one with giant riddley, the donkey kong one with the 2 layers, two plane arenas that feel the same, the kirby cave and that other from kid icarus which are enormous. It was like they were so dedicated into doing unique feature stages, but them they forgot to make it fun
still, something that really bothered me in 3ds was the excessive number of pixel art retro stages. We have duck hunt, kirby gb, fzero, pac man(this one is cool tho), ballon flight, even the earthbound one is half 2d
Pac-maze is also a reference to Pac-Man Championship Edition, you can see the blue walls occasionally having neon effects which is something you see in that game.
@@Fermin-hw5pd Yeah, like how Jotaro, Joseph and DIO's dub voice actors in Part 3 of Jojo also have voiced Stryker, Raiden and Scorpion and Mortal Kombat 9.
I gotta say, when I made the switch from 3DS to WiiU, I really don't understand how I played on the 3DS. I was in highschool, played over 15,000 online matches, played it at lunch, after school clubs, I brought that thing to small tournaments at locals, I loved that 3DS to death. But man, how did I ever think I was gonna play slightly competitive without an actual controller? I will never know.
For Tomodachi Life, that’s not just the amusement park in the background. That’s the entire island the 3DS game takes place on. (Don’t know if the previous games had that or not)
On prism tower I don't think the poster with diantha is supposed to advertise the league but a in game universe movie, she's supposed to be an actress in kalos ^^
Nah, I don't think the hovers have enough range to reach the other side. Plus, I think you might get forced to go into ladder mode if you walk off the edge of the bridge
The thing you mentioned about the Pac Maze with the blue ghost is something I never realized until now, but know it makes sense why this stage didn't return to Ultimate despite being the superior design wise of both Pac Man stages, the unique flavor it had could only be truly done in the 3DS.

3D land and golden plains and 3DS Rainbow road and paper Mario stage is one my favorite stage ever I use to play Mario 3D land on 2DS also I use to play Mario kart 7 also New super Mario bros 2 too I never play Paper Mario sticker star before
(10:40) Are you sure the Shy Guys are a reference to Mario Kart 7? Because Brawl had the figure 8 track with Shy Guys before that. It just seems like a coincidence.
34:27 that's exactly what I was thinking while watching this. Imagine if you never owned a 3ds, you'd probably just think this was a stage based off some cheap 3ds shovelware or something, not a stage with such a obscure history in comparison to the others
I'd argue that the Wily Castle WiiU platforms, or at least the rails, are more likely based on the platforms from Crash Man's stage in Mega Man 2. The fact that the rails bend and even cross themselves is more MM2.
Pokemon from Unova should've appear in Unova Pokemon League. Each different one which are Dark, Ghost, Fighting and Psychic types. Based on the types that the Unova Elite Four specializes in
Oh, I always thought the name of the stage was "Reset Bomb FORTRESS" not "Forest". I never played Kid Icarus Uprising, but it looks and sounds really cool. Might have to pick that one up soon.
22:09 - I feel like that might just be an in-universe movie advertisement, considering that Diantha is an actress. Her being the Champion of the region isn't made immediately known, so you first know her as an actress.
A small correction for the Wily Castle stage, is that the colored rail platforms are more of a reference to the type of platforms found in Crash Man's stage in Mega Man 2, which move along very similar types of pathways.
I know I'm beating a dead horse here but I just can't help it. It really does suck that Pac-Land was the stage brought over to Ultimate instead of Pac-Maze.

I know this doesn't relate to this game specifically but for some reason I find peach's brawl render better than all the other smash games that has her. She looks really good in melee but she looks really life like, and sort of lifeless in a way in ultimate's render, same for Wii u and 3ds. However, peach's brawl render makes her look like she's an experienced princess, like I can feel her presence, her pose just emits power. I know this may be weird but it always stuck out to me.
Pac-Maze was such a cool level and the best representation of Pac-Man in general. I wish they would've picked this stage for Ultimate instead of Pacland. But that's not my favorite stage of the whole game, Magicant was and I'm glad that made it to Ultimate. Turning off the stage hazards made it better since we didn't have to deal with the bothersome Flyingmen anymore.
And also cover how the names changes based on region Ultimate removed this (that is, making the US version the default, they love doing that), but it was a neat feature.
Magicant was the best stage I’ve ever seen. One of the best and was so happy to see the glow up in Ultimate
Minus the dumbass hazards (specifically one), yeah. It's a really good stage
@Moon Exactly, one of the coolest stages ever.
I appreciated it even more after seeing the more recent of Chuggaconroy’s Earthbound let’s plays
Right more nostalgic NES SNES Genesis era stages never a bad thing.
The music gave me goosebumps when I was trying to unlock Ness on Smash 3DS.

27:47 Side Note about the Reset Bomb Forest, the image of Viridi was replaced by a fully animated 3D model of her in the jump to Ultimate
Defenly a good change
It's a shame we didn't see Pac-Maze return for Ultimate. It's definitely the superior Pac-Man stage
Yeah, but I’m guessing they couldn’t replicate the turn-to-blue for each player only on their own screen
@@gamemaster2819 well yeah, but they couldve easily changed that
Ong
Easy. Locally the first person to collect the power pellet gets to basically be invincible with a powerful active hit hitbox. And online it can be how it was in 3DS.
There's more than one pac man stage?
How they were able to put this game on the 3DS and have it running every bit as well as it did on the Wii U still blows my mind. Even after Ultimate, I still go back and play this game for the novelty alone.
They did have to remove the Ice Climbers and the swimming mechanic.
it most definitely did not run as well as the wii u

Should have had Moltres since Greninja is playable 😂

Because of the lightning?

Fun Fact: Hynden Walch is the voice actress for Viridi. She is mostly known for her performance as Princess Bubblegum and Starfire
Wow, I actually never knew that
I never knew that, but now that you told me, it feels so obvious.
She also has voiced Harley Quinn.
I love "this VA has voiced x" facts, useless but cool to know
@@Fermin-hw5pd Yeah, like how Jotaro, Joseph and DIO's dub voice actors in Part 3 of Jojo also have voiced Stryker, Raiden and Scorpion and Mortal Kombat 9.
In PictoChat 2 there's also the hopping Wario noses which mainly appeared in the title screen for WarioWare Touched.
Every stage introduced is so charming and I'm so glad Sakurai and the rest of the development team do what they do

For Unova, i would say that Milotic makes sense because the evolution method for Feebas changed in gen 5. But not sure about Shaymin

Super smash bros 3ds has the best menu theme
16:57 I still remember how the dojo post talking about this feature got memed on lol
Pour a cold one out for Pac-Maze. If it weren’t for that ghost mechanic, it would’ve been used in SSBU instead of Pac-Land
I feel like they would have both been used, like Green Hill and Windy Hill
3D land and golden plains and 3DS Rainbow road and paper Mario stage is one my favorite stage ever
I use to play Mario 3D land on 2DS also I use to play Mario kart 7 also New super Mario bros 2 too I never play
Paper Mario sticker star before
Smash 3DS remains the best in the franchise
9:37 That's why the we use the Gold Mario spirit in Ultimate.
It's criminal that Rainbow Road and Pac-Maze were cut from Ultimate
I know right.
So sad 😢
I still play Smash 4 today, and get tons of nostalgia from it! Glad to see people still talking positively about this game.
(10:40) Are you sure the Shy Guys are a reference to Mario Kart 7? Because Brawl had the figure 8 track with Shy Guys before that. It just seems like a coincidence.
I love how gaur plain is just better on 3ds

Rainbow Road and Pac Maze will always hurt being cut.
RIP
I'd argue that the Wily Castle WiiU platforms, or at least the rails, are more likely based on the platforms from Crash Man's stage in Mega Man 2. The fact that the rails bend and even cross themselves is more MM2.

Why didn't Rainbow Road come back for Ultimate? I'll never understand this.
I still can't believe we got Pac-Land stage but not the Arcade Pac-Man stage....
I know right.
I love how Nintendo makes these stages it’s just so cool and I really hope we get a new kid Icarus game or remaster of uprising
Oh, I always thought the name of the stage was "Reset Bomb FORTRESS" not "Forest". I never played Kid Icarus Uprising, but it looks and sounds really cool. Might have to pick that one up soon.
At least we got 3DS Rainbow Road in MK8DX
22:09 - I feel like that might just be an in-universe movie advertisement, considering that Diantha is an actress. Her being the Champion of the region isn't made immediately known, so you first know her as an actress.
It still boggles my mind they brought the Pac-land stage back for Ultimate but not the Maze stage
Especially since Pac-Maze is the most iconic world (I guess you called say that) in Pac-Man
Most of these things aren't secrets. You're just describing the stages.
Pac-maze has the subtle reference of respawning dot lines of specific patterns from Pac-Man championship edition.
I loved Smash 3ds ngl
If you zoom in on the Dungeon Man model you can see Brick Road's face on the inside.
All hail the Virtual Boy!
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Pac Maze should’ve been utilized more than Pac Land
Don't you DARE put Cheeto dust near my 3DS.
A small correction for the Wily Castle stage, is that the colored rail platforms are more of a reference to the type of platforms found in Crash Man's stage in Mega Man 2, which move along very similar types of pathways.
Still can't believe they robbed us of pac-maze in ultimate and gave us pac-land, an ugly annoying auto-scroller
Bro legit covered the first gen 6 pkmn stage and DIDN'T use greninja 💀🤣
Magnificent video for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS stages and Wii U.
Oh, Yellow Devil. I hate you in Mega Man 1, and I hate you in Smash!
I remember playing Smash 4 on My Big Bros 3ds
14:55
*Laughs in longshot*
I can't believe you didn't say anything about Alfonso taking charge of the Spirit Train.
Alfonso: Leave it to me!
14:58 Not true, you can also use the Long Shot to latch onto the sign on the other side. Although Epona is the cooler way to do it.
Not going to lie, I love how they shaded the 3ds smash.
Please do a separate video on Boxing Ring title origins, and include the Japanese Boxing Ring titles in the video as well.
One of the transformations in Pictochat 2 (the noses) is actually a reference to the interactive title screen of WarioWare Touched!
Fun fact: Kirby's Boxing Ring title is The Pink Puffball in Smash 4 but was changed to The Pink Demon in Ultimate
I want Rainbow road and Pac-Mase back!!!
Me too.
Does the Wii U video even exist?
8:18 well that makes the name completely defunct
Ya know, funny thing about Gerudo valley: on the 3ds if look you the sides you can see the paths animated but in ultimate the paths are taken out.
I know I'm beating a dead horse here but I just can't help it. It really does suck that Pac-Land was the stage brought over to Ultimate instead of Pac-Maze.

In Ultimate if any of the three Links are on the stage, conductor Link is replaced with Alfonzo
I've been waiting for this
4:17 the game hadn’t been released in 3DS when Smash came out though…
Ah Gaur Plains. My favorite stage that doesn’t take place on Gaur Plains.
I know right.
21:22 So much for game references only
I'm sad at the lack of any "leave it to me" reference during the Alfonzo portion 😢
All that's left now is Smash Ultimate
We’re just gonna ignore Smash Wii U these days, huh?
@@smackjack78 oh I forgot sorry 💀💀
What stage do you want to see in the next smash (remade or new)
PAC-Maze, Rainbow Road, and Poke Floats.
I hope they make a stage based off my house so I can look outside and see Luigi fighting every day
A Chibi Robo stage
0:31 is no one going to talk about how this stage hazard was false advertising?
This was a great vid. Keep up the good work bro
Miiverse was my favorite stage!

UNOVA Confirmed UNOVA CONFIRMED
16:53 he said it, he said the meme
N uses Reshiram or Zekrom when he is the champion in BW
maybe you SHOULD go through all the jumbotron things in another video 😊
