1/23 Stage, Music: Mushroomy Kingdom and Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme*

[dcmjlive]

Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. Most Smash players will recognise this place from previous games in the series, where the world was represented in a pixel-art style reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros.

But why the "y" on the end of "Mushroom"? What’s the difference?

Oh, so that’s why!

This time around, we’ve designed a stage that recreates the layout of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. – but with rich backgrounds added to the mix.

The stage scrolls forward at a leisurely pace.



Pieces of familiar scenery scroll by.

The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.

You’ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning.

Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage!

This is the famous World 1-2. This one’s also quite charming.

The Mushroomy Kingdom stage sports the most famous stage design in all of gaming.

And the world-famous Mr Koji Kondo, creator of the music for Super Mario Bros., has kindly done us the service of arranging this theme for the stage!

The original overworld theme in Super Mario Bros. had a certain almost-Latin flavour to it, but this time the theme features a piano arrangement that really goes along well with the atmosphere of Mushroomy Kingdom.

It’s just wonderful.

Mr Kondo, thank you for your help!

Mushroomy Kingdom is possibly going to be one of my favorite stage

[Shades]

Im not a huge fan of the slowly moving stages like this, but I think that bringing back the old mario game is a really cool idea and I look forward to seeing it in game!

[Mycroft]

Wow. Now I'm happy. I love the music as well

[Fallen401]

Ah ha, so we got another stage announcement and it's a nice little throw back to old school i see. I like it but i can't say i'm the biggest fan of those scroller style stages. Damn we have a lot of stages though, bring the rain.

[WAALUIGI]

i love this stage and the music! one question though, how to we get to world 1-2? do we go down a pipe? does the floor colapse or something? anyway 10/10 

[dcmjlive]

It's actually nice to see the classics with a 3d touch. It's really nostalgic. I give the update a 9.5/10

[Cheesyrice]

Hmm... I wonder if you play a game long enough, you could play through the entire game!



Also, are the bricks and all, objects? or are they in the background, and its a flat level, cuz that would be difficult to get around 2-1 with all those bricks in the way.

[Darkmatter]

I like this. I was waiting for a true Mario stage. But I was expecting a character...

Yeah, wednesday is character day! AWW! Oh well, this is actually a good throw back to the old Mario. We finally see another game in a game. I like getting to that palace area where you have to jump the pole to get higher points.

[The-Forgotten-One]

yeah, that's what next week is for...(remember the revelation that probably wont come true...)
9/10

This is a nice stage. See, I told you (or at least some of you who happened to be in the chatroom with me) that a sidescrolling stage is possible and will be fun. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, stage 1-1 and stage 1-2 are selected randomly when you pick the stage. Though I don't know what happens when you reach the end. It would be awesome to be able to go through the game, but I imagine you could go as far as either the end of 1-1/1-2. I imagine you could go through a pipe or something to get to 1-2, I dunno.

What I can imagine is that once you reach the end of the area, and you're still brawling, you'll just fight there. And crawling definitely has a function in world 1-2. HAHA.

[Wumbo]

its a great stage I wish I had bought super mario bros off wii shop channel but i got super mario bros 3 instead great stage 10/10

[specs]

What a feast for our eyes and ears!
A side-scrolling Mario stage? This is near-brilliant in its sheer simplicity.
I tell ya, Sakurai is really spoiling us old-gamers. No complaints from me, though.

And crawling definitely has a function in world 1-2. HAHA.

Exactly. Up to this point, I viewed the crawl function as a gimmick useful only when trying to come up with humorous pictures or video.
However, I'm satisfied with the manner in which it was employed in this stage.
I give it a solid 9 out of 10.

Why only a 9? Well, it seems like the Mushroom Kingdom went down the pipe tubes over time.
