Sample stages: Difference between revisions

The '''sample stages''' are the 3 stages built within the [[Stage Builder]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', used to demonstrate how the function works. All three stages can be freely edited by players and changed from their default forms.

While the sample stages are just as consistent across every copy of the game as the "regular" stages, and are thus arguably just as valid to fight on as any other stage, they have never been considered official stages as part of the {{SSBB|tournament rulesets}}. As such, all three of them are [[banned stage|banned]] by default in tournament play, even without taking their bannable properties into consideration. Nevertheless, it is very easy to reason why the stages would be banned even if they were to be competitively considered.

If the player edits the stage and saves their changes, a separate stage with those changes will be made, while the original versions of the sample stages will remain. Even the original versions of the stages, however, can be deleted by the player.

If {{SSBB|Olimar}} uses his [[Final Smash]], [[End of Day]], on this stage, then as his ship descends from the sky, it falls directly through the hole in the center of the stage, and causes Olimar to [[self-destruct]]. This also occurs in the diving slash for {{SSBB|Ike}}'s [[Great Aether]].

A level 9 {{SSBB|Fox}} or {{SSBB|Wolf}} will KO itself on this stage if Player 1 does not move. This is an example of [[Flaws in artificial intelligence#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|flawed AI]].

 

The stage's description in Stage Builder makes reference to the [[meteor smash]] mechanic, and it is the first time the mechanic was officially mentioned in ''Smash''.

'''Sample M: Bath''' is mainly a U-shape, with the only exits being the top opening and a lone [[Drop Block]] on the left side, which is supposed to act as a bathtub drain. The right side is slightly elevated. It is the medium size example.  

There is a [[glitch]] where if {{SSBB|Peach}} uses her [[recovery | recovery move]] and floats into one of the blocks underneath the stage, she will remain floating until she is hit or the player moves her in another direction. This is known as the [[parasol glitch]].

The maze structure occupies the upper half of this stage, with the top of this structure being a flat roof, where all characters spawn. The roof is close to the top [[blast line]], so it is easy to launch characters upward for the [[KO]] and for survivors to take [[hoop damage]]. The flatness of the roof also aids the use of horizontal [[projectile]]s, like Falco's [[Blaster (Falco)|Blaster]]. To escape the roof, a player can drop their character into the maze below. The presence of [[item]]s may encourage players to leave the roof and visit other parts of the stage.
