UDATED POLL RESULTS AS OF 4/17/12 FOR: Smash 64 Intro Stage (also nicknamed "The Beginning" by our community)

Stage Video (fast forward to 0:20)
Stage Picture

Current Deadline is April 19th, 2012. It May Get An Extended Deadline Depending On Activity On The Topic.

Since this is only 1 stage, there will be No Numbered Poll. Instead, we will just answer with YES or NO. You are more than welcome to provide reasons why you support it or against it. If You Support It, you are also open to discuss what song or background if anything.

13 votes for YES

1 votes for NO

Notice: Not sure if RoyMaster's vote is directly against it or not. So I left his vote count out until I get a direct answer

Considering we are having 2 discussions.
Yes on Intro Desk

And I Can easily Think of a few Stages for kirby

A Whispy Woods Stage is a MUST
Fountain of Dreams was an important Stage in game
Amazing Mirror - This Stage would Randomly Change troughout the battle, adding water onthe sides or Icey Slopes this whole time your battling a madjition is randomly appearing to attack you.
Mt. DeDeDe


I am also a hard Core kirby fanand there is enough unique envurments for there tobe 5-6 stages.

I honestly dont know why we even discussing the Kirby series at this point. But, if you guys just want to confirm The Beginning (the Smash 64 Intro Desk) now and just move on with Kirby its up to you guys.

Just do So SK Its Quicker we do so because everyone is for it and discussing Kirby...

Yeah, let's get Kirby out of the way...


Though, for when we get to Pokemon... I think we'll need to impose some special things to the poll. Mainly so we don't end up with a bunch from one gen. We should probably go one per gen at the most... I'm just worried that we'll have something like Unown Ruins and Burned Tower both winning...

For when we get to Pokemon, IMO we should have one stage for every generation, then one or two representing the side game franchises like Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, Puzzle League, Pinball, Trozei, Stadium/Colosseum/Gale of Darkness/Battle Revolution, etc.

I vote yes to the SSB64 Intro.

I only think Kirby needs five stages. (I mean it has 5 reps now one for each character is fine in my opinion).

So this is what I think should happen.

Vegetable Valley MUST to be turned into Butter Buildings. It makes no sense for Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright to terrorize an area they've never been to.

Halberd is pretty good for now, props to Doc for getting that done.

A stage GY and I came up with is City Trial from Kirby Air Ride
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR6UciCB8OA
The stage would work like Delfino Plaza, You start off on the dome above the City, later a large compact star would come to the fighters and carry them to another area. Here are the ones I have come up with so far.
Floating Dome, Whispy's Woods, The City, Rural Grounds, The Volcanos, The Lounge, and The Sea Castle.
During the game Events might occur. (Ex. Dyna Blade attacks the Rural Grounds / The Gas Station bursts into flames at the Lounge / etc.)

Another Stage idea is the Lor Starcutter from Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usoHTUdzRgk
However details for this stage have yet to been made. (I personally feel that this stage isn't needed but it's only a suggestion)

Another stage would be the Dark Star from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hMu0jf8vO4
The main deal with this stage is that 02 will appear from time to time to attack players.


This way we have Kirby's Classics (Vegetable Valley and Halberd), a Kirby Spinoff (City Trial), Kirby's place in today's games (Lor Starcutter), and a stage for Gooey too! (Dark Star)

Eh?

EDIT: Also I think it's alright to say that "The Beginning" is accepted by pretty much everybody.

I dont normally do this but I guess with the amount of agreements for "The Beginning" 64 Intro stage and lack of objections. I guess we can confirm this stage now.

Since the Kirby topic is hot at the moment, lets get to this series then. But guys, please manage to stay on topic please. And as usual, we will start with the Numbered Poll. Will give it 3 days from today, which means deadline is Saturday.

1 votes for 3 stages

1 votes for 4 stages

5 votes for 5 stages

4 votes for 6 stages

Casting my Numberd Kirby Stage Vote now and I will have to say 4. Even though Kirby is pretty popular in many regards, I feel that Crusade kinda overepped the series with 2 new Kirby reps with the addition of playable DLC. So I pick 4 to somewhat balance the reps.

Actually, I agree with this statement.

I change my vote from 5 Stages to 4 Stages.

I'll vote for 5 stages.

While I agree Kirby is overrepped as far as characters go, we can't just ignore it when talking about the number of stages. Kirby is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises, even though the sales don't say it. It isn't up there with Zelda and Pokemon (Both of which should get 6+ stages imo), but it should get 5.



And as for preliminary suggestions, I think we should have:
1 from Adventure
1 from Super Star
1 from 64
1 from Air Ride / Spinoffs
1 from Return / DL3 / Other
I don't know what would be best for 64 and the last one, but we need City Trial.

I'd vote for 4 stages, but that option is going to lose, so 5 stages.

dilbert

Five stages for Kirbay. Proportionately, It's less than Zelda and more than Metroid. That's where it fits in my opinion. I think we should have.

Vegetable Valley (KA)
Halberd (KSS/KSSU)
Something from KDL or KDL2. (I'd say Castle Lololo, Float islands, Big Forest, or Grass Land.)
Something from K64 (Dark star, definately. Dark matter is too big to the series not to get a character or stage.)
Aaaaand something from KRtDL or another from KA. If we were to have another KA stage, It should be Fountain of Dreams or Butter Building, but if we were to have a KRtDL stage, I would suggest the water world if we don't have Float islands, or Egg Engines.

5 stages.

Assuming 5, and assuming we can't remove Veggie or Halberd... my votes go to:

- City Trial: Main area from Kirby Air Ride, it has so much potential... the perfect stage. Would serve as Dedede's home stage.

- Rock Star: We don't have a desert stage. At all. So why not this? Can serve as Gooey's home stage, throwing in some dark matter stuff.

- *Insert RtDL stage*: I haven't played this game, but it's the newest one and whatever stage it is will serve as Bandana Dee's home stage. A water world sounds good.

Five stages, I guess.

I'm not really a big Kirby fan at all, but as long as we don't get more castle or grassland stages, I'll be fine.

Anybody else want to add in how many stages they feel the Kirby series should have?

Voting for 5 Kirby stages.

5 Wins time to move to what stages.

Fountain of Dreams(King DeDeDe)
Amazing Mirror(Awesome Gimmicks)
Cookie Country(Whispy Woods)

@PH thank you

Yeti, there is a reason why a deadline exist everytime I post a poll update. We discussed a dozen times already -_-

Anyways, anyone else want to contribute a vote for number of Kirby stages? If your reading this but havent vote, your participation would be greatly appreciated

Yeti, you're not running stage roster discussion. At this point, SK is. Votes end when he sets them to. We've seen how drastically the numbers can change within a couple of days.

Next time you push for something to end early, we'll have to infract you.

Just want to make a comment on the stages you want.

Fountian of Dreams, as important as it is, is nothing more than a Battlefield remade with little to no gimmicks. We have enough plain stages at it is.

Amazing Mirror is already in Flash 2, I think it would be best if we tried to stay away from similarities with Flash 2 in general. Also just saying "awesome gimmicks" doesn't help your cause at all. What are these "awesome gimmicks" anyways?

Don't tell me you want Cookie Country just because it could represent Whispy. City Trial can already do that and so much more. Also of we were to have a stage from RtDL it would probably be the Lor Starcutter, but that is just my opinion.


Also due to lack of support I'll move my vote from 4 to 5 Stages for the Kirby franchise.
