Brawl Stage of the Week: Super Mario World

by Candace Savino { Apr 22nd 2008 at 3:00PM }

Welcome to Nintendo Wii Fanboy's "Stage of the Week" feature, in which we showcase some of our favorite Smash Bros. Brawl stages. We'll have some themed weeks, some contest weeks, and some "whatever we damn well please" weeks to help you freshen up your Brawl experience.

This week's featured Brawl stage offers a generous serving of nostalgia. Although we're sure it won't be the last classic game scene that we'll showcase here, we chose this as the first because of the creativity and execution that went into it. We're not sure where the very talented Anthony got the idea to recreate Yoshi's House from Super Mario World, but it looks absolutely smashing.

Not only that, but the stage is also fun to play on. It seems simple enough, but the multiple platforms and tiers add some variety and depth. You don't have to take our word for it, though, since you can download it for yourselves here. (Instructions for playing on the stage are located after the break!)

If you want to see one of your favorite fan-made stages (or one of your own creations!) featured here, be sure to email it as an attachment to smashsubs@nintendowiifanboy.com. From the hard, to the ridiculous, to the incredibly awesome, to the even more ridiculous, we want to see them all!

Note: Sorry for the noticeable photoshopping -- unfortunately, the Brawl camera doesn't allow you to take big enough pictures. Image credit: Anthony's site.

Use the warpstar glitch to get better snapshots.

Cool, I was hoping the Stage of the Week feature would start soon. I'll have to give it a try later on today! I like the non-literal use of the stage parts (e.g. ladders to represent tree trunks). I tend to have trouble thinking abstractly with my own stage creations thus far.

David Hinkle @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:56PM

LOL, R.O.B is the last cylon. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

Puts a whole new twist to his SSE role doesn't it?

Ok not really.

Ben! @ Apr 22nd 2008 3:58PM

I like this one a lot, too. Last week's had me worried.

Charles @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:09PM

Damn! I have an SD card with no SD card reader! I know it may sound stupid but the card used to be for my mobile phone, so back then, I didn't need the reader, now I sure as hell do!

Donald @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:46PM

Do you still have the phone in question, and does it show up as a hard drive when you plug it in?

Alternatively, you can get a SD reader on Amazon for about US$12.

Charles @ Apr 23rd 2008 1:11AM

I do have the phone in question, but it's kinda... well... Busted... I dunno, I guess I'll give it a shot...

Mr Khan @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:41PM

Now there's a custom stage i could get into

This is the sort of thing i was looking for, recreations of areas from older side-scrollers

Now someone needs to rebuild every stage from the original Smash Bros

I remade Peach's Castle! :D

I'll try to send it in.

Gewurztraminer says: R.O.B. is the last Cylon! @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:09PM

That's a great idea!

I don't remember what they look like anymore!

(thank goodness for Google)

TheOverlord#2 SPEAKS: YOU READ IT NOW(Brawl: 1461-5875-9923) @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:35PM

I have my N64 and Wii hooked up. I compared straight from the stage.

I added a point to make it resemble the Castle more that you can walk on though.

SoshiKitai @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:42PM

Hey, Nintendo Wii Fanboy... I sent you a question (about stages) to the email you guys gave us.
It's been a week... any answer yet? :(

Candace Savino @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:49PM

Sorry, I got boggled down by the stage demo-ing. Expect an answer later today!

David Hinkle @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:59PM

Keep in mind, though, that sending in direct questions to the email for this feature won't net you better results than just sending it in via the comments link.

Sending in to there pretty much guarantees you a speedy reply. Hope that helps!
