Back again with another post about Melee, this time I'm talking about the Stages that are within the game, and the types of stages they are and how they separate the men from the boys. The stages in the game are based from many different famous battlegrounds and locales in different Nintendo games, including Hyrule Temple from the Legend of Zelda games to the Planet Brinstar from the Metroid Prime series, all of which have exotic graphics, detail and looks to them. Even though Smash Bros. Brawl consists of over 30 stages, Melee holds up it's end of the bargain by having at least 15-20 stages for players to show their might on, and the maps come in all sizes from small close quarters fighting based maps to large scale/all out brawl fest maps that are meant to have a lot of people fighting on it. What makes the stages in Melee different from N64 besides the graphics is the new mechanic of on going things in the background that can sometimes affect the stages or the stages themselves that could affect game play. The following video is an example of a how a moving stage can be a somewhat factor in a battle.
As you can see the game was changed quickly, even though the player was against A.I it can affect how you play when the stage is moving and different objects in the background can come to either aid you or work against you causing you to not only to watch your back against other players or A.I but also you need to watch the enviroment. Since many or most stages in Melee have this factor with them it makes it a somewhat challenging task for many of those that are veterans to the Smash Bros. series.
As you can see from the picture above, Melee offers players many different stages that players can choose to brawl on with places stretching from Starfox's Ship to Pokemon Stadium, and many in between Melee does not let players down with the amount of stages to select from. In Melee there are 32 stages fight on, and of those 32 stages, there are over 10 stages that have the "enviroment effect" to them that make them somewhat challenging. Even though some stages present a challenge to fight other players Melee proves with it's stages
and characters that it is able to take the spot as the #1 Gamecube to ever be made.
