Onett: Difference between revisions

The background features several more elements: a hospital, a hotel, a backhoe, and a hill with some houses (including [[Ness]]'s) and a meteorite on top. On the foreground, outside the normal camera view, there is a white canopy and some bicycles. On the right of the stage, slightly beyond the blast line, there is a sign with a warning about the black van.

Onett returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' with multiple changes. The stage prefix is now EarthBound: Onett. The biggest change in this version of Onett is that the knockback from the cars have been significantly reduced, and now deal set knockback. As a result they have lost their KO abilities at realistic percentages unless someone is very close to the walk off edges. Their damage output, however, remains unchanged and they can still disrupt gameplay. The cars also no longer have unique horn sounds, and instead the horns are randomized when one is about to pass. Another change in the stage is that the right edge of the left building's roof can no longer be grabbed. Also, there are slight lips on the both sides of the house on the right. This prevents characters against these walls from jumping to avoid cars. Another slight change to this stage is that the red cross on the building of the Hospital has been removed, most likely due to issues about the [[wikipedia:Emblems_of_the_International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement#Use_of_the_emblems|Red Cross emblem]]. These changes carry over to versions of Onett in later installments.

To the right of the blue house is the The "Onett Message Board". It is readable in ''Brawl'' when the [[Devil]] Assist Trophy moves the stage to the right or when an unrestricted camera hack is in use. In ''Melee'', it can be read simply by standing close to it, pausing and moving the camera. It is also easy to read the sign in ''Ultimate'' using camera controls, and becomes even easier to view on the Ω form due to the main platform being in front of the regular stage, sometimes even being legible during normal gameplay. The player can also pause while standing just right of the blue house, then zoom out to read the sign.

 

 

In ''Ultimate'', the design of the buildings in the background more closely match their appearance in ''EarthBound''.

In the early [[metagame]] of ''Melee'', Onett  was considered tournament legal as a [[counterpick stage]]. However, the stage is now [[banned stage|banned]] in all games it appears in. The reasons for banning are the same across games; the walls allow for infinite combos (this problem is more prevalent in ''Melee'' and not at all in ''Smash 4''), and the stage hazards of the cars can disrupt gameplay and easily allow for early kills. The lack of a lower blast line also removes the edge guarding component of characters; the low ceiling at the top of the stage and the walk-off blast lines also can allow for very easy and early KOs.

*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there is a [[glitch]] involving the [[Soccer Ball]]. If the ball is hit and lands on one of the tree platforms above the left house, it will bounce continuously, causing the tree to bounce, until a player or another [[item]] steps onto it.
