One neat detail present in Spear Pillar is the hieroglyphic depictions of Dialga and Palkia on the two soft platforms; as seen in Celestic Town's ruins.
Not to mention later shamin could of spawned as well
There's some incorrect info in the Green Hill Zone part:
- The checkpoint lamppost design is based of Sonic 1's design, not the modern games from Brawl's time.
- Tails, Knuckles and Silver's models were made from scratch for this game. They weren't reused from Sonic '06. The models are more low poly and their faces look very different.
Well said man 👍
Just out of curiosity, aren't those the 3D models from Sonic Rivals for the PSP?
No.
Actually Don't Move did come from a real microgame. In Wario Ware twisted (A Wario Ware game for the GBA that detects whether or not the console is moving) there's a microgame where you must not move the console
You mean WarioWare: Twisted! right?
@@KanaIzumiya Yeah lol
Fun fact, Star Fox actually visited a star in the Pleiades Cluster in Starlink: Battle for Atlas.
Wasn’t it in the Bofades Cluster?
@@TheDSS64 fine, I’ll play along. WHAT’S BOFADES?
@@TheDSS64
Atlas is in the Pleiades.
I don't get it
@@69metersbelow25 Bofadees nuts.
a few extra notes:
Metal Gear Ray debuted in MGS2: Sons of Liberty, where Raiden has to take out like 50 of them on the hardest difficulty
Port Town Aero Dive, both in GX and Smash, features a ginormous R.O.B. in the background
the Star Fox stages have special character convos if you down taunt quick enough with Fox, Falco or Wolf
Shadow Moses Island has special Codec calls if you down taunt as Snake fast enough, 1 for every fighter in Brawl
those flowers in Pikmin are called Pellet Posies
and out of curiosity, will you be doing more Spirit Origins once you finish the stages?
I really don’t like Spirits. Just make a trophy origins dammit
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios why not a bit of both? there are trophies that didn't get Spirits & Spirits that were never trophies so it would be more encompassing
@@newageBoundhippie Yeah, that could work.
You should also talk about the platform designs and sfx because they often reference things.
For example on Delfino Plaza, the main stage is a red grid similar to platforms in Ricco harbor, the center has a rainbow colored dolphin wich references both the shape of isle Delfino and the color of the portals painted by Bowser Jr, and the small platforms are designed like F.l.u.d.d.
And on Summit, the platforms all have the exact same design as the one you have to jump on in the bonus rounds at the top of a level. The breakable ice platform references the main mechanic of ice climber: jumping to break ice blocks above you. It even makes the same sounds when you hit them. The cloud platforms that go accross the screen are directly from the original game and act the same way. The small stalactite that slowly forms then fall has the same 3 frame animation as in the original game and even makes the same 8-bit sound while falling.
Theory: while genericized to some extent, Castle Siege may be based off all three of the games of the playable FE characters in Smash up to that point.
The initial castle siege (name drop intended) is something that happens early in Marth's initial game, FE1, and its DS remake Shadow Dragon, where Marth's kingdom, Archanea, is attacked and taken over; Shadow Dragon's prologue even has Marth fleeing from it as the tutorial iirc, and I think those flags may be based off the logo for it(...?).
The throne room is based off Path of Radiance and to a lesser extent Radiant Dawn; the soldier designs most ressemble those games, as well as the interior design ressembling some of the indoor maps from it. This would also explain why the Black Knight was initially put on that throne, as I don't recall him being on any throne in either game but here it's the most noticeable way to put him in this transition specifically.
The fire cavern ressemble fiery dungeons from the GBA titles, which include Roy's game. It especially reminded me of the dungeons that unlock the sword weapon known as Durandal in FE6 and FE7, both being fiery caverns with the sword being locked very deep into it in a shrine.
Additional note on the Hanenbow stage:
Hitting the leaves with attacks will gradually turn them red. If all leaves are turned red, a flower will appear at the top with a chime.
Does nothing, but sure as hell is pretty!
I didn’t expect this this soon, but a very welcome surprise nonetheless.
I miss the download play function. It was the only way to download demos on your DS Lite until the 3DS existed. I remember playing the demo for Sonic Colors DS on there.
Some additional info regarding the cyclone in the Pirate Ship stage. It could also be a reference to an event early on in the game, where Cyclos, the God of Winds roams around the Great Sea in a giant cyclone. Running into the cyclone causes a battle where you must hit Cyclos with 3 arrows before you are pulled into the cyclone and tossed to a random location on the Great Sea. Defeating Cyclos will impress him, resulting in him teaching Link the Ballad of Gales. Allowing Link to summon cyclones for quick travel. While Cyclos himself is not visible, the sky turning dark and gray could be an indication of the more hostile nature of the giant cyclone that Cyclos inhabits as opposed to the more helpful cyclones that Link can call upon.
Yeah I was thinking the same.
Hate to be that guy, but in the Fire Emblem stage, that is not the Black Knight. Furthermore, the Black Knight is not the main antagonist from either game he appears in. The character on the throne is likely inspired by the design of the Black Knight, but it can't be him as the Black Knight is no king and thus has no association with thrones.
I legit think Brawl has the best and worst stages. Its a mixed bag lol.
That's brawl in general lmao
Although the stages are a mixed bag I think it had the perfect number of newcomers as well as the best way to unlock them via the adventure mode which may I add is still the best in the entire series
@@panamajack5972 Nah cuz Brawl still introduced some of the best aspects of Smash that are still used in Ultimate. God can only weep if they kept the goofy ass Melee voices or just a port of Melee in general
@@PeruvianPotato never heard that expression before
Brawl is really the best and worst game in the series
excited to watch this one, brawl stages are the most nostalgic for me
Yep. The main theme goes with the menu and the orchestration.
I wish you mentioned Norfair's gorgeous background, which is stylized more or less like a Super Metroid room layout.
15:45 No mention of the cat poster (which I believe is a photo of Sakurai's cat) or the fact it's weird to have a non-Pokemon animal appearing in a Pokemon stage for the fact that non-Pokemon animals don't ever appear in the Pokemon franchise with the exception of the the first season of the Pokemon anime where Ash visits the Cerulean City gym and looks at an aquarium containing normal fish which was probably an oversight of the animation studio at the time.
I think it was confirmed it's not sakurai's cat
Sakurai loves his cat his so much, that he didn’t remove her when Pokémon Stadium 2 came back in Ultimate.
There were other cases of Non Pokemon Animals than just Episode 7 back during the Gen 1 Days. Gastly shapeshifted into a mongoose to scare Ekans, Indian Elephants were mentioned in Raichu's Dex Entry. Supposedly it was from a lack of Pokemon Biodiversity in those days that real animals were used. Of course there are times that their former existence within the Pokemon World was implied suggesting a potential mass extinction event that most non Pokemon animals couldn't survive. As for the cat poster here's a shocking idea, what if as Pokemon are artistic animals in our world, what if the inverse was the case & it was a Pokemon World artistic expression of a Cat Pokemon?
22:43 isn't there a similar game in Twisted where the caption is "Don't move!" With an egg.in the center and the goal is to not press anything or twist?
Actually, Link fights King Bulbin first before the chunk of the bridge was ever removed. It isn’t removed until he leaves the Eldin Providence to cut off his return trip. Yeah, Bulbin doesn’t blow it up like the stage version, but it is still the relative order of events.
i was looking for this comment lol
I love how you explained stages from each game.
I think thats what this series is...
@@jillianbruening8199 They mean each version that gets reused with minor changes for the newer games. Like the ultimate version of smashville having the english name for the able sister's shop.
@@Goochensteinburg1122 oh
Fun fact about Delfino Plaza.
It means Dolphin Square (Reference to GameCube working title Dolphin), but is actually both Spanish and Italian.
In Spanish it would be Delfin Plaza, and in Italian it would be Delfino Piazza.
(30:20) Certainly aurora borealis (northern lights) only happens at the arctic (north pole), while it's the aurora australis (southern lights) that happens at the antarctic.
Aurora borealis can sometimes be localized entirely in one's kitchen too though
@@spazerdazer8421 it's traditional to celebrate it with cooked ham, specifically steamed.
@@spazerdazer8421 so can I see it?
@@bytescientistreal My favorite recipe, wasn't it from upstate New York?
I can’t wait for the Ultimate episode where he talks about SNK
And has to talk about the removal of mai
@@catfrombowsersfury1654 Not to mention the stage forgot Big Bear, Lawrence, Krauser, B.Jenet, Gato, Tizoc, Benimaru, Leona, Mature, Vice, Eiji, K Dash, Kula, Ash Crimson and many more characters we’re missing from the stage.
Super Nefarious Kingdom? I don't remember that in Smash Bros.
"Don't move" is from WarioWare Twisted
One other thing in the background of Distant Planet that was not mentioned is a plant with red berries on it. These can be found in Pikmin 2’s Awakening Wood and if the Pikmin collect these berries they can get a red potion that can make them more powerful.
22:16 how is that supposed to be David lol, just looks like its own thing
30:15 AURORA BOREALIS!? AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF DAY, IN THIS PART OF THE GAME, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR WII!
Yes!
@@TheDSS64 May I see it?
@@ScaredSackless4566 ....no
@@shyguy85 Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but you make good steamed hams
They should’ve put the Grand Pianta Statue in the background of Delfino Plaza
Sky World’s Palutena statue is based on her original design.
In my country we have a celebration called matariki but on the west side (where I am) we celebrate a different star. Pleiades is the same constellation as matariki.
Aaron: "--At the time Pikmin only had 2 games"
Me realizing Pikmin had only 2 games (and a pseudo port for Wii) and up until now in 2022 we've had only one more (plus a small spinoff on 3DS) and an announcement for the 4th. Damn dude.
I thought Mushroomy Kingdom was done as a shot at realistic games being so brown.
I had no idea the flying limo was in New Pork City because I never, ever fight on that section of the stage.
Spear Pillar should have had Giratina since it’s the third member of the Creation trio.
Brawl was created before Giratina was known to be part of the Creation Trio, back in those days we had every reason to believe the Creation Trio was just Dialga, Palkia, & the Original One who created both of them. Giratina was just a monster in some weird cave where reality was distorted prior to Platinum & Cressalia was also used for the Final Boss of Battle Revolution in place of Dialga or Palkia. Interestingly there are stars in the background resembling Arceus on the stage.
Giratina wasn't an obvious 3rd Game Box Art Legend like Rayquaza, Kyurem, & Zygarde were. With the others you can easily tell, Rayquaza had similar markings to Groudon & Kyogre & was right next to them in the pokedex, Kyurem was a Grey Dragon with similarity to Reshiram & Zekrom, & I don't think I need to explain XYZ. At the time we assumed Platinum could have been like Suicune for Crystal. Giratina was clearly retconned to be the 3rd Member of the Time/Space Trio with even its Antimatter being a stretch. If you study that area of Physics, Gravity would have made more sense for Giratina with Time & Space being distorted by intense Gravity.
you didnt talked about the little fun detail on Shadow Moses Island
if you get there as snake and spam the down taunt, there is a chance Snake receive a Codec that varies acording with the character he is fighting against
I wish they'd updated & added new ones for Ultimate...the Codec calls are such a cool Easter Egg ( also wish the DLC characters got both unique Cocec calls & Palutena's Guidance but alas... )
@@newageBoundhippie They couldn't because the Colonel Campbell's voice actor had passed on before Ultimate's production. ☹
But I agree it would've been cool to hear new dialogue on all Melee, 3DS/Wii U and Ultimate fighters.
@@hectorcollazo8845 I forgot about that....the Japanese voice actor, right? I could swear the English voice actor ( who's also Grandpa Max in the original Ben 10 shows ) is still alive...but yeah, that makes sense since it's also part of why we got Kazuya over Heihachi for a Tekken character
@@newageBoundhippie I can't recall which language voice actor, unfortunately. It's been years since I remember
@@newageBoundhippie tecnically they did with the kid icarus stage, dont they?
Wait a minute, Im like 87% sure Metal Gear Ray was from MGS2.
2 was the first time Ray was in a MGS. But, 4 was when it appeared in shadow moses.
Correcting an error in this video:
Metal Gear RAY appeared in Metal Gear Solid 2.
he's not saying that ray first appeared in 4, he's saying that Ray is also one of the MGs appearing MGS4.
Love the references.
Happy holidays everyone.
there’s one thing you missed in Norfair:
The background of the stage is the actual layout of the level as seen in both Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission.
The “don’t move” microgame in the WarioWare Inc stage is from Warioware Twisted, albeit with different visuals. The original version is an egg that falls over and cracks if you move.
Love this series. Brawls stages are my favorite in the series with Melee being a very close second for me.
I love how you explained stages from each game.. pictochat is truly one of the best stages ever.
Regarding the Gekkos and the Metal Gear RAY appearing in a primarily Metal Gear Solid 1 stage, it was actually foreshadowing. A portion of the plot of Metal Gear Solid 4 ends up taking place at Shadow Moses Island, complete with Gekkos swarming the place, and a battle between the Metal Gears REX and RAY. So Kojima secretly got Brawl to hint at a plot in Metal Gear Solid 4 before the latter's release.
I like how ambiguous the FE stages are, as Aron said there are a load of castle siege chapters in the games, so you can interpret it as whatever you want
I like to think it's the attack on Zofia castle in Gaiden/SoV
Oh shit! I didn't know you were intended to throw the pellets at the onions!
I know this little reference has been covered a lot, but I’m surprised that when doing Port Town Aero Dive, you missed the giant ROB in the centre, which can only be seen in its entirety at certain points of the course.
You forgot a detail in the Ice Climber stage:
Aurora Borealis are also present in Skinner's kitchen.
A couple fun facts regarding Distant Planet:
-The Awakening Wood and Forest of Hope are actually one in the same, down to having nearly the exact same geometry. For example, the area where you fight the Armored Cannon Beetle in Pikmin 1 is the same place where Blue Pikmin are discovered in Pikmin 2. In fact, all of the levels in Pikmin 2 are based in the same locations the first game's levels.
-While rain never existed as a mechanic in Pikmin 1 and 2, it would go on to exist in Pikmin 3, and can happen randomly at the start of each day, with its own set of music to boot. However, the rain is purely aesthetic, and won't harm your Pikmin. I believe it can rain in any of the main areas in the game except for the Distant Tundra (don't quote me on that if I'm wrong).
This is something that I think has been completely overlooked, but I think a new Smash video you should do is the evolution of every Pokemon with the pokeball item from 64 to Ultimate, because that's definitely a thing that's really changed with every game
So Sakurai is okay with 8 of the same playable character appearing at a time, but Assist Trophies aren't allowed to coexist with background cameos? What sense does that make?!
if you refer to the change made to the Fire Emblem stage to remove The Black Knight, then a correction should be made. The Black Knight never appeared on Castle Siege. The one on the throne was never the Black Knight, though his design was likely inspired by him.
@@JacobKowanetz There's that, and also the fact that the Knuckles Assist Trophy doesn't show up in Green Hill Zone, and Palkia doesn't appear from PokeBalls in Spear Pillar.
Chrom also is just Robin's final smash, so you can have Chrom (normal costume) attack himself and then appear twice in the victory screen
okay, on the Castle Siege stage:
- it's not a generic stage it's based on the fall of Altea in fe1
- that isn't the black knight
- the third part is based on the Flame Barrel in fe3
everyone gets this wrong i don't get why
In Smashville one of the humans that can appear has a similar resemblance to Villager's default costume in Smash4 and Ultimate, even wearing the Number 1 shirt. I wonder if he still shows up if Villager is on the stage, or was removed entirely.
I think the Creation Trio in Spear Pillar would take the award for being the most powerful Stage background characters in a fighting game.
Ah yes. 75m…..M…. The m couldn’t possibly be a unit of measurement… it’s just m
Ah Bridge of Elden.
The only thing that can make Jigglypuff's Final Smash interesting.
Start the FS right as the portal repairs the bridge.
It'll interrupt the FS and you'll have Big Ass Jigglypuff.
8:27
HE'LL DO WHAT ONTO THE STAGE
You forgot something about Lylat Cruise: Fox, Falco and Wolf can active secret dialogues with their respective team: Star Fox for Fox and Falco and Star Wolf for, (Of course) Wolf. In some discussions, at least one member of the other team can join the discussion. The teams we hear during the dialogues are the ones from Star Fox Assault and Command. On Fox’s side, we have Fox, Falco, Slippy and Peppy. On Wolf’s side, we’ve got Wolf, Leon and Panther. Krystal appears too, but while in the dialogues activated by Fox or Falco she’s in their team, in Wolf’s dialogues, she’s in Star Wolf instead, referring some endings in Star Fox Command. 🦊🐦🐺
🎵 We don't talk about Star Fox Command 🎵
@@WhiteDarkness3113I know, this game was bad. But I wanted to mention it to explain the reference.
14:07 Did Aaron forget that Orbital Gate Assault exists or...?
That one starts out on the Great Fox.
Best Christmas gift 🎁
The Jumbotron present in figure 8 circuit is actually shaped to look like the bottom screen on an og DS.
Merry ChristSmash Aaron
pictochat is truly one of the best stages ever🔥
It's a shame that in Ultimate they didn't combine both stages into a Pictochat X like they did with Flat Zone
So something I just noticed while watching this. If you look closely at the top of the screen on Smashville, you’ll notice what aren’t just stars but constellations. In the Animal Crossing games, the museum contains a character named Celeste, not just Blathers, who will offer to show you constellations in a certain room of the museum
I don't even play Smash but I really like your videos. I subscribed the second you said foyer correctly
08:23 that's Cranky Kong.
Uh, you might have some events out of order for Bridge of Eldin. The battle with King Bulblin comes first. Then after Link crosses it to reach the Lanayru Province, the bridge gets warped.
The video does have a note saying the events were there other way around
15:52 I believe the cat found in the poster is a cameo of Sakurai’s own cat Fukurashi.
I wish the same thing would happen in ultimate where the CPU also doesnt move in WarioWare. It's a small detail I miss since brawl
Amazing video dude
Every stage Easter egg
Doesn't talk how true recreation of this stage, when it comes to locations of other levels in Sunshine
15:52
Extra Trivia: One of the developers sneaked in a Picture of a Kitten in the Cabin to the right of Snowrunt
That kitty is so cute
FYI the southern lights are called "aurora australis" as borealis refers to north.
Lots of Stages
You should have pointed out in the distant planet, in the background there's a soda can with the smash logo on it.
35:33 The spotlight actually does have an effect. Certain items that choose targets randomly or home in on a nearby target will prioritize the character noticed by the spotlight. For example, assist trophies or pokemon that come from poke balls will aim for them.
I didn’t realize in mushroomy kingdom in brawl version has world 1-2 in original super Mario bros for NES in smash ultimate version it doesn’t have the world 1-2 stage 2
Yeah, that is absolutely not the Black Knight in the background. And it's more accurate to call him "a" antagonist, but that might be a slip of the tongue.
Theres a "dont move" microgame in warioware twisted featuring an egg that would crack if you moved. It looks radically different and probably wasnt a direct inspiration, but it does exist.
15:52 when you present Snover you can see a cat picture. This cat was the cat of Mr. Sakurai
These are some great videos. Personally I'm not a fan of watching you fight on a strage while trying to explain something in the background. I would rather you just have bots standing or use the replay camera to show the levels but besides that, it's an enjoyable video!
New Pork city is a cool choice for a stage. But not well thought out lmao.
I don’t know I remembered it correctly, but I believe the World 1-2 version of Mushroomy Kingdom was in Smash on 3DS. I know it only got removed in Ultimate, likely to save storage on the Stage Morph feature.
Another thing for Spear Pillar stage is that, palkia can Spacial Rend the stage which breaks it into 2
Merry Christmas
can't wait for the next video to be every smash bros reference in super smash bros
Merry Christmas everyone
I was today years old when I found out you could feed the pods for items in the Pikmin stage
Can we appreciate how rain looks better in Brawl? In Ultimate, you can't see shit on Pirate Ship or Distant Planet, when it rains!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ 😊 ♥ 💕 🤶, Aaronitmar.
i really want a smash game where everyone and everything returns. all modes. all characters. all stages. from every game.
oh hype
Very nice
Marry Christmas ⛄🎄
30:13 ...So that isn't an Arora Borealis we're looking at?
Electroplankton! I used to have that game. Can’t believe I forgot about it!
Spear Pillar should have had Giratina since it’s the third member of the Creation trio, and the mascot of Pokémon Platinum the third Sinnoh game.
True, Platinum wasn’t out when Brawl was released, but it came out one year later.
Marth was also in Melee, Ike was the only FE character introduced in Brawl :)
30:14 At this time of year, at this time of day, localized entirely in this stage?!
Yes!
Can I see them?
Bubba took way too much crack and swam out to trick an ice climber
Things that I see missing
-he didn’t talk about each location the delfino stage (like he did for the Luigi mansion)
-didn’t talk about the special conversation you can trigger on the Star fox stage
-no mention of the cat picture in the cabin on Pokémon stadium 2
-shadow mosus island as special codec if snake is on the stage
