Stage Builder: Dojo Update #110 October 29, 2007

Filed under: News — Max @ 2:05 am

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 initialize 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. Chuckity-chuckity-CHUCK!

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 happy that this 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 finished registering 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 you can enjoy as well.

“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?)

And 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—the flavor of the day, if you will. However, the plan is for that stage to vanish once one day has passed. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

You can submit in both the Snapshots mode and the Stage Builder mode, allowing everyone to enjoy the creations of others. The fun of sharing is one of the ways that I wanted to take advantage of Wi-Fi for something other than pure battling.

Today’s stage has lots of traps…

This is our ideal current plan. We still don’t know the exact service period. And future tuning may result in changes to the spec.

But for now, please look forward to it!

  • soho
    So....best game ever....ever.


    What aren't they doing in this game? I'm just completely blown away by its awesomeness. What else are they keeping from us?!?
  • I hope you can run the games off the SD card, instead of this copy to and from the Wii crap.
  • FlamingSquirrel;
    It occurs to me that one could take a snapshot of a stage and duplicate it.
  • kevbo
    EXCELLENT... This is great news although I really hope they allow you TO SAVE THE LEVEL OF THE DAY TO A FLASH CARD FOR FUTURE PLAYING. Either way, this is amazing and will extend this games lifetime for YEARS... YEARS!!

    Wow! I can't believe all of this is on one disc. AND THERE'S OBVIOUSLY MORE TO COME!!
  • Well I believe the extra month is added not only to work out the online mode but for testers to test any new feature they've recently added on the final product (maybe it was this Stage Build one) before release. Then production by December and shipments in January. This is a solid pre-order no doubt about it.

  • I Wish you could choose to keep the daily stage if you wantec to.
  • Joe
    Sounds like the reason for the delay is to work out the kinks for the online mode.
  • Pugeon_Feeder
    wow.......I dont know what to say.....incredible
  • DC3fanboyWii_NL
    HOLYYYYY.... **********. Are you kidding me. Nintendo you are crazy man. WOOOOW. I can believe this. Is this true?, or am I dreaming???. This is it. All you third party learn from Nintendo. See this is the way to do it. OMG I am keep laughing here. I can come to a word now. I did not what to say. Nintendo you are crazy man. OH my Oh my. Believe me this is will own all. With this feature Nintendo will own it all. They will break everything, when this game comes out. Yeah baby I can't wait. Nintendo this what you got or have you more to say about this game?. :D
  • Hologram
    Can we just go ahead and declare Brawl the climax of the universe and that everything that comes after it will never match its glory or do we have to wait for release to do that? :D

    Seriously though, now all those people who were complaining that there weren't enough simple stages can make those simple stages and all those people who were complaining that there weren't enough crazy/insane stages can make those crazy/insane stages. Everyone wins! Perhaps the greatest feature in this game (next to possibly online play, not sure which is better).
