Changes: Fourside

Revision as of 20:03, 25 July 2008

Fourside is unlocked by playing 100 battles in VS. mode. It is also Ness's home stage, but you face Pichu and its teammates here in All-Star mode.

Announced at E3 2001, The stage consists of three buildings. The building on the far left is slanted, so items tend to roll off. The Monotoli Building, in the middle, is split into three parts: the top, two small ledges on either side in the middle, and a semi-long edge on the right. The building on the far right is the shortest one with a flat surface. On the far left building, there is a crane with a platform attached to it. It will move to the left a little and over the center of the building. Once in a while a UFO will appear over the left or right building. Characters can fight on top of the UFO, though it has a slippery terrain, giving the Ice Climbers a distinct advantage on it due to their constant traction. Some of the music is taken from the first four melodies in EarthBound.

The pits between the far left building, the middle building, between the far right building, and middle building are narrow, providing wall jumpers a decent advantage.

Fourside is banned in single-player tournaments, largely due to Peach's ability to stall by using Peach Bomber repeatedly in a pit. However, Fourside is legal in two-on-two matches.

Trivia

In EarthBound, Fourside is never shown at night, as much of the game only takes place during the day. However, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, it is night-time on the Fourside stage and features a large moon in the background. This may be a reference to the area Moonside in EarthBound, where everything is black with glowing neon edges, though it is never explicitly stated whether the Moonside area of the game actually takes place at night.
The Fourside stage may be a spiritual successor to Saffron City, which also took place on top of skyscrapers.
The UFO's appearance may be a reference to the title screen of EarthBound, where several UFOs were demolishing an unknown town.
