Preston Ward Condra Ranks All 31 Super Smash Bros Brawl Stages

by Preston Ward Condra

Another Smash Bros project I made, where I ranked all 31 stages from Super Smash Bros Brawl. The unlockable past N64 and Melee stages will not be a part of this publication. I initially did this project, back in December 2008, during the mundane two week break from school. I don't know why I wrote all this down but, alas I did anyway. Enjoy reading it.

19. 14 - Lylat Cruise

he stages are getting harder and harder to rank on the countdown as like I stated back with #15, I have found all of these stages enjoyable to play in for Brawl as starting with Lylat Cruise on the countdown, I have NO problems with the remaining stages left to rank on the countdown.

Before I begin, this write-up is fairly short. I am sorry for you guys expecting a long one like Summit or Pokemon Stadium 2 I did. I am sorry.

Star Fox stages in the Smash series have been favorites of mine since starting with Sector Z in the N64 Smash version and this trend continues with Lylat Cruise. Lylat Cruise is a stage with great music, gorgeous space battle backgrounds and most importantly, fun.

Starting with the Music and Animation for the stage, I have to say it is pretty good in Lylat Cruise. Nintendo picked the best songs from Star Fox series IMO to be in Brawl with wonderful music tracks like the Star Wolf Theme, Area 6 Theme and the Main Star Fox 64 theme. The changing in-space battle backgrounds in Lylat Cruise are gorgeous to look at. The background can range from battling a fight with Star Wolf to moving through the Asteroid Belt to flying near Corneria.

For gameplay action in Lylat Cruise, it comes out very solid. You do not have to worry about cheap unneeded gameplay elements getting in the way on Lylat Cruise. Lylat Cruise is a stage where you can have big amounts of fighting action go on as ZERO unneeded gameplay elements get in the way on the stage as you fight your opponents on Lylat Cruise, making it one of the those stages in Brawl that appeals to newcomers and veterans of the Smash series.

If there is ONLY ONE and ONLY ONE SLIGHT problem change I had with for Lylat Cruise, is that Lylat Cruise is a stage that could be larger to fight on but, aside for the problem where Lylat Cruise is fairly small to fight on, I found Lylat Cruise to be an overall fun and good stage to play in for Brawl.
