While taking a look at the Japanese site for SSB (the English one is now Dojo, covering SSBB), I found [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Map.html this list of stages]. I noticed that it had names for the Master Hand, Polygon, and Metal Mario stages. Not knowing Japanese, I put the page into the Altavista babelfish translator. The Polygon stage came out as "f...," which obviously isn't correct (especially because the same name was also given to [[Saffron City]]). However, Master Hand's stage got the name "Terminus," and Metal Mario's stage got the name "Meta crystal." I was wondering if these might be the official names, and if someone who knows Japanese could better translate the page. By the way, [http://babelfish.altavista.com/ here]'s the translator.

:Hm, it's been a while since this was posted, but I do have some input. [http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com Kirby's Rainbow Resort] has a [http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com/multimedia/sounds list of the music in SSB] (scroll down and click "Super Smash Brothers (N64)"), and Metal Mario's stage is referred to as Meta Crystal there (although they could mean Metal Crystal, which makes more sense to me), so you might be on to something. Terminus is a pretty cool name for that stage, BTW. [[User:Teamrocketspy621|Teamrocketspy621]] 15:39, October 29, 2007 (EDT)

:Okay, I have something new on this. I stuck it through the Google Translator, and got this: [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nintendo.co.jp%2Fn01%2Fn64%2Fsoftware%2Fnus_p_nalj%2Fsmash%2FMap.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools] I noticed one thing: That Metal Mario doesn't translate from the Japanese name as Meta Mario, but Meta Crystal does. This means that Metal and Meta are actually two different words, as recognized by the translating program. Also, Master Hand's Residence is referred to as Endpoint. Last I remember, Ending Point was one of it's accepted names. When you think about the other Engrish in the translation, Master Hand's Residence might very well be called Final Destination in Japan, as in Melee.
