I wanted to know your opinions cause all my smashers friends say that Green Hill would be the best choice, but I think there are other many cool stages in other Sonic games that could be better than GH.

I'd say City Escape and Radical Highway are ok.

[Stefan]

It's green hill for sure.

[Magnezone]

GREEN HILL MUST DIE

ANYTHING BUT GREEN HILL

[Taillow]

Green Hill.  It's the first, and most memorable stage.  Sure, I'd pick flying battery, but only from personal preference.

[Waxwings]

Death Egg Boss Arena.

ftw.

Imagine gravity switching in Smash and all the havoc that would ensue.

[Rayku]

Death Egg Boss Arena.

ftw.

Yeah, I can't wait for Pokemon Stadium, what with the gravity on -that- stage being lessened /sarcasm

Green Hill, no questions asked. I could see it like a level such as Mushroom Kingdom, where you can just walk off the edges, but there would be stuff like trees that could bar your way, with springs on the top that you can't see, assuming that could POSSIBLY (hint?) be an item yet to be announced

[Combo]

Flying battery? Hmmm that sounds like an awsome stage. Of coarse the first stage to appear from a sonic game
in Brawl would be Green Hill but still.

[Magnezone]

YOU ALL DEPRESS ME

GREEN HILL IS THE POISON THAT WILL CONSUME US ALL

IT WILL THEN DIGEST US WITH A MOST FIERY ACID AND THEN WE WILL TASTE LIKE ACID

ALL THANKS TO GREEN HILL

So true.

what the fuck

[Aitamen]

As the second "2D forever" guy here, my thoughts are still GH/EH, but ONLY for adventure... it'd be kinda fun to run through them, as, say, Pit, for shits and giggles...

What would I expect?  Either A) one of the Boss Areas from the 2D games (GH boss, AR boss... something like that... Casino Night would be WICKED fun, if you opened both sides and put platforms out there) or B) a chunk of vertical Scrolling level... just for shits and giggles

Too bad this game isn't open source...

[Magnezone]

I'd actually like it if Emerald Hill was in instead of Green Hill. To clarify, I'm just tired of Green Hill in every sense imaginable. Sega has wasted away any admiration I had for the stage by toting it along with their new-age Sonic and re-inventing it in half-a-dozen ways. I mean, sure, throwbacks to past games are nice for nostaliga and all, but... is Green Hill the only nostalgic stage?

I realize that by being level 1 period, it'll almost definitely be in the game, and I agree that Sonic needs a wide open area for his stage seeing as that is where running in general is done easiest. I just don't agree on it being Green Hill Zone. :(

What? no

WELL EXCUSE ME FOR GETTING IT INTO MY HEAD THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SAYS BASED ON STRANGE LOGICS AND THEREFORE WOULD DISAGREE WITH EVERYONE INSIDE THIS TOPIC, ESPECIALLY ME

[Crowbar]

Yeah, I figured that was your reasoning, and I can fully understand it. I would actually quite like to see EHZ too, even though it's only barely different, as it'd just be nice to have a change. Probably won't happen, though.

[JBertolli]

No doubt that Green Hill will be in >_> Egg Fleet may actually be an interesting stage, anyone agree X(

[Aitamen]

EHZ for sonic stage, who agrees?

[P.P.A.]

EVERYONE KNOWS IT WILL BE GHZ BUT I WANT STARDUST SPEEDWAY AND TIDAL TEMPEST AND SPRING YARD ZONE.

[Rolken]

The reason GHZ pops up so much is that it's iconic Sonic but still generalizable enough to make it fit a variety of circumstances. Checkered orange/brown hills and robotic crabs are inherently unique and recognizable as Sonic in a way that pseudo-San-Francisco with humanoid robots really just isn't.

Stuff like Stardust Speedway -could- be iconic Sonic if not for being buried deep in a game that nobody played. And EHZ was never anything more than a riff on the same concept anyway.

I would be very pro a Death Egg level with gravity reversal, but it's probably too strange and mechanics-breaking to actually happen. Not the boss arena though... that's flat and boring. At least some platforms in the middle perhaps.

Don't be so sure about that. Even if not very many people have played SCD, the game has a legendary reputation for being the one of the highlights of the whole franchise, with Stardust Speedway being the flag ship stage in it. If anything, Stardust Speedway being in the game might attract attention to SCD (like Strider in MvC did for the Strider franchise or Tales of Symphonia being released to an RPG deprived system did for the entire Tales franchise in the US).

[ieatatsonic]

I'd say that GH is a predictable idea,(it'd make sense to put it on (sense it's the most memorable))
though a stage where the stage goes from place to place (if you've seen the isle delfino stage, you'd know what I mean) based off of sonic adventure would be interesting( for anybody who's played SSBM, Mute city follows this concept). Still, Green hill would be a good choice.
Here's a few stage ideas I thought of:

• 1. Green hill(obviously)
• 2. The idea I mentioned before
• 3. The ARK.(from SAB2) Basically a gravity shifting, massive, wide, and interesting stage, which would slow your character and allow you to jump higher
• 4. A stage based off of the Egg carrier( the screen would scroll left and right, covering a small bit of area at a time. Sometimes, the ship would transform, the monorail would come by, or the cannons would shoot)
• 5. A stage that's like the previous one, though instead of the Egg carrier it'd take place in Station Square.
• 6. A stage like the previous two, though it'd happen in Mystic ruins
• 7. A stage based off of The place where you fight Egg emperor in Sonic heroes
• 8. A stage based off of The Black comet from Shadow the hedgehog
• 9. A stage based off of The Babylon garden from Sonic riders
• 10. A stage based off of The Night palace from SATSR

[P.P.A.]

SAB2

SA2B

[KnucklesSonic8]

Okay, srsly, it's OBVIOUS that everyone's first pick will be Green Hill, but people need to dig a little deeper and go out on a limb with what Sonic stage they think will be in. Honestly, though, Green Hill DOES have the largest chance of getting in.

[yse]

If it's so obvious that Green Hill will get in, then there's not really any point discussing any alternatives, is there?

That said, Casino Night would be fucking awesome.

[General Throatstomper]

Now we have 2 active brawl topics. Dissent!

Anyways Green Hill is a given, but we don't know Sakurai is only giving Sonic a single stage. That's the most likely scenario, but it's not as though it's a certainty. Things become more interesting when you try to think of the secondary levels he would include. I'm betting on Death Egg myself because it was a huge deal in (most of) the Genesis Sonics, and was one of the more memorable zones in S3K.

Of course the zones I want to see in are entirely different. I would love Spring Yard in Brawl since it's such a wonky zone, and I'd enjoy Metropolis as well. Both are distinctly Sonic in execution.

[Antronach]

Yeah, GHZ is gonna get in, hands down. Hopefully Death Egg or maybe Ice Cap will get in (there's a first, but Ice Climbers will get the ice stage).

[KnucklesSonic8]

Y'know what. Both an Egg Carrier/Casino stage WOULD be awesome. [ks8's Wii :D]

[Upthorn]

I sincerely doubt that the stage will be from a game that was released while Sega still made consoles.
If it's going to be from a 2D game at all, it'll be from the Advance series. But I'm guessing it'll be from Sonic Heroes or Sonic and the Secret rings.
If we're Lucky we'll get something from SA:DX instead...
So my bet is on Seaside Hill (likely) or Windy Valley(lucky)

Green Hill would be awesome, though.

[General Throatstomper]

Upth: what's your thinking behind Sakurai not choosing an arena from Sega consoles? Those are certainly the most memorable. I'm willing to bet Sakurai throws out Nintendo-exclusivity in favor of significance.

Also SADX is really just a port of SA, so if we're going on ports being fair game, any levels from the Mega Drive or GameGear games, as well as Sonic CD/Fighters/Sonic R could be included because they're all available via Mega Collection and Gems Collection.

Moving on, a special stage would rock for an arena. Specifically from Sonic 2, or Heroes. The problem is thinking of a KO zone. Maybe get rid of the second half of the loop?

Or use, say, the S3K slot-machine bonus stage. A rotating level with collapsible platforms sounds crazy.

Or the Sonic 1 special stages. That would be one wacky battle. Rotating stage, bumpers around, the (block-)platforms disappear after you jump on them a few times, the usual buttons that change the rotation/speed of the stage, and the GOAL blocks could hurt you. All with a nice remix of the awesome original tune in the background. Hell that would be awesome!

[Ring Rush]

Hey mike, it is not obvious that it will be Green Hill. It seems to me like they will gravitate towards something 3D, as they are currently making a lot more 3D games than 2D ones. SSBB inclusion is a MAJOR selling point, which is why I think Sega would have requested a certain THREE-D stage in to sell their games more effectively. Green Hill may be classic, but it really isn't classic Nintendo, which would be the only reason Sakurai would put it in.

[Darksonic91]

I'd say the most likely stages would be either green hill, emerald hill or maybe angel island zone.
