Nintendo Wii News | Smash Update: Build Your Own Stages!

By Adam Riley 29.10.2007 56

The latest update from the Smash Bros. Dojo reveals that players will be able to construct their own stages to extend the fun on Brawl. Check out the full update below:

You can create your own stages this time?! No way. REALLY?! With a feature like that, won't I be able to play this game forever?!

Apparently it's true...!!!

Those who enjoy a little effort may be able to enjoy this stage builder for the rest of their lives.

First, start from the initial setting.

You start by choosing the size of the stage, the background pattern, and the music that will play. Oops! Sorry. For music, you'll only be able to choose from the songs you have available.

This is the edit screen!

Basically, you choose parts from the palette on the side and place them in the field.

The controls vary by controller, but each one can do the following:

  • Flip parts left to right
  • Enlarge or shrink parts
  • Zoom in or out on the screen
  • Swap palettes
  • Erase
...Among other things.

Just place terrain however you like.

Then try it out!

Modify it and try it... Repeat as necessary. Make your own ideal stage!

Mmm... That's amazing.

And you can save a name and a comment for the stage.

You can change the music on the save screen. Choose something that matches the mood of your stage.

And I'm glad to say that this feature is compatible with SD cards. You don't have to worry about size, so make as many stages as you like.

Also, if you've registered someone as both a Wii Friend and a Smash friend, you'll be able to send custom stages to each other.

Now, for those who hate putting effort into such things, we've also prepared something for people like you to enjoy.

"Submit"...?

That's right! You can use your Wi-Fi connection to send stages you've made to Nintendo! (However, you can't submit repeatedly. Maybe just once per day?)

Every day, a stage selected from the entire daily collection will be sent from Nintendo to your Wii. A stage made by someone else will come to you over the Internet once per day!

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! That's the shocking truth. This means you'll be able to experience a new stage every day

Holy crap. Smash Brothers wins 2008. I was reading it hoping for online submission and they've even chucked that in. Nice work, Nintendo.

I want a level with nothing in it, so everyone just spawns and falls to their doom Smilie

Thus your name Smilie

I am glad they have a sharing option, this might lead to a modding community who will learn how to take advantage of every last bit of the editor... who knows, we might have a DOTA of our own.

Did someone say DotA? Smilie
I'm a DotA addict Smilie play it atleast once every time for the past 3 years. Smilie

not sure how this does relate to DotA tho Smilie
anyways, it looks awesome. I'm sooo looking forward to this game.

Time to get our creative hats on and create some whacky levels. Should be good fun!

This game just gets better and better.

It's going to take over my life next year i just know it!

Smilie

The good news never seems to end, this is no doubt going to prolong play to forever regions.

XD can i ask any one worry that that snowman song will be the walking in the air one >_< u know what iam talking about

A new level, Every Day!

Woohoo!!

Socoder.net - Where making games is fun!

What an excellent update... all it's missing is using music from your SD Card for the stage you create. I wonder if you'll be able to create solid terrain & everything? Like on Worms? Or will it just be blocks? I was hoping to create a Binstar Depths style level, with lots of huge floating rocks.

Now all this game is missing is better online play. Best game ever made. ME THINKS Smilie

Woah! Wasn't expecting that!

Great feature. Now I know I'll be playing this all of Wii's lifespan. Smilie

Problem, I guess. Playing these stages in multiplayer on the same Wii is a given, but what about playing them over Friend Matches? The Online is a bit limited in Brawl, so it'd be a shame not to have that option.

Best. Newspost. Ever.

HELL YEAH. I wished for a stage editor time again, and never thought they'd pull it off.

This'll definitely sell by the bucketload.

<3 Nintendo!

Great news. Smilie

I know what you're talking about, I'm listening to it right now. Great song, so why would you worry about it?
But realistically, no, they can't put it in the game because it has nothing to do with Nintendo. It's probably a Mario tune from one of the snow levels.

Yeah I was waiting to see that confirmed but it wasn't there. So far Excite Truck is the only Wii game with the SD Music feature. This is still the greatest update of smash yet.Smilie Now how will they top the level editor.Smilie

Yeah, it really is a waste of a good feature -.- not even the Tony Hawk games use it...

I don't particularly like the song. It's not my style. & no, I don't think it'll be in Brawl. It'll possibly be a stage from Super Mario 64 (the stage with the huge Snowman)

YEEEEEEAH BABY! Smilie

Wonderful update, and I absolutely love the ability to exchange stages with buddies - but its also pretty awesome to get a new stage a day.

Smash is going to rock. Smilie

So far Excite Truck is the only Wii game with the SD Music feature

Endless Ocean (Forever Blue) does too. Smilie

This will be the game of the forever. Enough said.
