Brawl Stage of the Week: It's Tetris time

Called "Sziltoj 2," this stage is meant to represent "a Tetris game in progress," according to Chris. Considering the limited amount of tools that you're given in the stage builder, we think he pulled this off pretty well. Come check out how after the break!
Sziltoj 2 by Chris L.
As you can see from the picture above, the Tetris blocks were made with different colored stage pieces so that each familiar shape stands out. All the blocks from the classic title are accounted for at the bottom, aside from the coveted long bar.
Chris added the long block up top, though (depicted in our gallery), which was built by falling boxes to represent Tetris in motion. Evoking the essence of the bar slowly dropping downward by using falling pieces is a simple, but clever idea.
Since Sakurai didn't give us an official stage themed with one of our favorite puzzle games, we have no qualms about brawling on this one.

I made a Tetris stage that's pretty similar to that; even has ladders for sides. http://up.ppy.sh/files/bda4e3af9ce4f471_image.jpg

Holy crud! Your's looks almost like mine! Except, I didn't have a giant falling block.

You guys should have a double feature next week with the stages I sent in! :P
I have a stage like this, but this one looks 10 times better.

What's the theme for next week, or can I send in any stage? I'd really like to submit my best one.
Candace Savino @ May 7th 2008 7:07AM
No theme, so send in any/all!

Also, are submittal stages held until they apply to the theme of the week, or do stages fitting the theme need to be re-submitted?
SoshiKitai @ May 6th 2008 10:48PM
Awesome question. I support this question!
Candace Savino @ May 7th 2008 7:11AM
All stages are held, so they don't need to be resubbed for a theme. They can be SOTWed at any time, not just for the week they were submitted.
*However* it wouldn't hurt to send a gentle reminder about your stage if you think it fits a theme, or resub it if you want, so that it's brought to my attention! In fact, I'd probably appreciate that :)

Can you copy stages off your SD card onto the Wii's internal memory? I'd hate to accidentally format my SD card or something, especially since I'm also using it for homebrew which might cause stuff to randomly disappear.
SoshiKitai @ May 7th 2008 1:26AM
Of course you can. :D Just load the SD card in SSBB's stage builder mode, then click "COPY". It should send the data to the Wii's memory. Easy as cake.

Thanks, I've never downloaded a stage before and the instructions here didn't mention anything of the sort. I kind of assumed it would work, but I wanted to make sure.
