1. New Pork City
2. Rumble Falls
3. Rainbow Cruise

BattleField (boring as hell)
FD (same, but has a trippy background)
Electroplankton (pretty trippy, but impossible to actually fight on)

That's about it...the stages are very creative and I like them. And as hard as Rumble Falls can be sometimes, I love the design and adore the music (and at least it doesn't randomly switch directions like the old IC stage...and it actually WARNS you when it's gonna speed up!)

Am I the only person who actually doesn't mind the Electroplankton stage?

STOP IGNORING ME!
It makes me sad.

only good maps are hyrule, final destination, corneria, the rest blow nuts. the MGS one is alright

The only reason I liked Mushroomy Kingdom is because they remade a classic.
It would've been perfect if the stage didn't move. Same goes for every other stage that works that way.
Also, some of the stages have such a neat moving background, that I pay too much attention to that and can't fight as well. But still, not too much to complain about, I like just about all the stages.

I adore mushroomy kingdom <3

The only ones I really just don't like is..

Mario Bros. - Seriously. 75% of your deaths come from the turtles crabs and whatnot.

75m Same. Things just come out of nowhere and kill you.

If the bottom "water" was actually water then I'd like it just fine. But it's really annoying when your platforms are tiny and you can get killed easily off ANY direction of the screen...and the "music" is pretty trippy but I prefer the real music most of the time. And I have no idea about the game it came from, or if there actually was a specific game and it wasn't just Sakurai and his homies smokin some weed while thinking of stage designs.

That's 3 strikes: easy KOs, no musical references, and no visual references that I recognize

Those are the 3 things that make me like a stage or not (the only exceptions are FD and BF as I just don't like them...kinda like Snake's commentary on Sonic XD)

i really dont like the majority of maps that move...and i extremely hate Wario Ware...omg. that map is gay as hell.

warioware is GLITCHY AS HELL!
I had the andross Assist Trophy and the things were comin fron the background The floor sotimes isnt there and the things u get for winning are unfairly distrubuted. I get a little health back and my enemy gets a star?? WTF is up with that.

I hate ones that force you to move like the water fall one and mushroomy kingdom.

Other then that i love the rest of the levels

new pork city, rumble falls, and that old mario bros level with the turtles and crabs are my least favorite.

you need to redefine gay methinks...it's a very creative course and I like it quite a bit...the random reward distribution can be annoying, but sometimes it works to your advantage and even if it doesn't it adds an extra element to the gameplay.

And Andross shoots things from the back on all stages and therefore they come from the background on many stages (Hyrule Temple for example) unless I've misunderstood you...?

How can you hate Mushroomy Kingdom!? Frickin' exact replica of World 1-1. And epic music.
The only one I hate is Hanenbow...

Yeah really...I love how in the "Ground Theme Version 2" the Flag and Game Over Themes are worked in =]

And I really wish Sakurai had given us more info on the Hanenbow stage...I wanna know more about it's origin etc so I will like it a bit more!!!

Yeah, I like mushroom kingdom theme v. 2 better than v.1. It sounds more like the original.

I quite don't like New Pork City and the Electroplankton one, all the rest are very good for me.
I love all the music, that's why I like playing in almost every stage and I like retro stages like Mario Bros. and 75 M. they are nostalgic, and for stages like the Star Fox and Final Destination I just love to look at those backgrounds, very amazing designs I fell like I'm flying there.

S.S:Electroplankton is a game for the DS about frequencies and music or something.
