You're put in charge of making a new stage for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It must represent either a Nintendo property or an already represented 3rd party property. What's the stage? What's the gimmick?

My idea is a stage based on the Pokémon Center where the center of the stage is basically a constant healing field

Mario Paint where character inputs decide the stamps or music notes etc in the background to be placed.

A new metroid stage, and doesn't have lava or acid.

A new dkc stage and isn't a jungle.

I always, always wanted to see Mercury Lighthouse from Golden Sun. I had a go at making one with the stagebuilder, only to find out dozens of other people had the same idea.

But it would be amazing to see one, with djinni of each element showing up at various points to add elemental ambiance to the stage (gusts of wind, slippy surfaces etc.)

Donkey Kong minecart stage.

Vanilla Dome stage where you fight on a skull raft onto of lava.

A huge Crateria stage with underground caves and a destroyable Super Metroid boss statue below, and Samus's gunship up top.

A stage based on Pyoro from Warioware where the floor gets destroyed and reassembled.

A simple Viridian Forest stage

Threed where you can fight on the tent and there are zombies.

Sargasso hideout from Star Fox Assault.

Bowser's Castle.

Anything Kirby not from the Sakurai games (Another Dimension, a clay-like level, the Morpho knight area, Dark Star, Star Dream...)

I just want a real Bowser's Castle stage. The lack of one is still surprising to me.

Monita floats about the stage, acting as a referee for the action. Every now and again, she'll initiate a scene change, in the style of the Warioware stage, bringing us to a stage in the vein of one of the Nintendoland mini-games. Various props and gadgets from the hub litter the stage, being moved about as park patrons move about!

Bowser's Castle for crying out loud. XD Whether it be lava based or based more on his outlandish ones from the 3D games, just give him something lol.

Maybe Bowser's Kingdom with occasional interferences from the Robobrood.

In a giant Tetris pit, as a game of Tetris is actively being played. Have to avoid the blocks dropping, the fighting surface constantly changes — good times.

The Water Temple from Ocarina of Time.

The center of the stage is that central column from the game. It has three levels of platforms. On the sides of the stage are also platforms that flank the central tower. Periodically, water will fill up the arena, leaving only the top level of platforms accessible.

More tourney legal stages, that's it. We have the most in Smash history but it would always be better to have more, plenty of gimmicky/moving stages already.

A concert venue representing the Mother series. Play it in the morning, it's EarthBound Beginnings-themed and Teddy is singing on stage. Play it in the afternoon, it's EarthBound-themed and the Runaway Five/Tonzura Brothers are singing on stage. Play it at night and it's modelled after Club Titiboo from Mother 3 with DCMC playing.

I would finally give Bowser and Ganondorf their own stages.

Bowser's Castle would be modeled after the one from New Super Mario Bros Wii, but a different art style, and there would be functions of the other of Bowser's Castles. I'll do the lava hazards, there'll be an ax that breaks a bridge, cannons that shoot fire from the Mario 64 Bowser levels, and a big buddha-like statue of Bowser in the background.

Ganondorf's level will be modeled mostly after the Ocarina of Time finale. Not too much unlike the design of Ganon's boss fight from Ultimate, but smaller and bringing some of the broken architecture towards the front of the battlefield for the sake of convenience. The gimmick would be a Master Sword stuck in the ground that once touched, an OoT version of Zelda would come in and use her Seventh Sage power to fire that beam of light and freeze someone in their place, and only a smash attack could get them out.

Ma-non ship overlooking New LA in Mira from Xenoblade X. It would be the perfect intro stage for Elma. Maybe the ship moves from continent to continent of Mira like the Mii resort island stage.

Mt. Itoi (Mother 1)

-Takes place on the summit of a mountain going above the clouds
-There is a cave entrance in the area that shows alien tech and pods with people in them
-In the Background you can see giant versions of EVE and an R73 robot duking it out
-Every now and then an ufo comes down and can be used as a platform like in Fourside, but also periodically shoots beams at players
