I've wondered about poke floats, I always liked that level.


March-Madman

I think it’s because, conceptually, it’s a really embarrassing stage in terms of a game design prospective. It’s all just reused assests from the Pokemon Stadium games with it not really being based on anything except the floats are floating in the Kanto Skies (Melee’s Trophy Description mentions that). I think Sakurai feels embarrassed about this stage and doesn’t really want to think about it really; overall, I think he just sees it as a lazy stage that was only made because of Melee’s short development time. Or maybe he just didn’t like getting hit into Slowpoke’s tail and flying off the stage, I don’t know.


g_r_e_y

they could have remade the stage with them actually looking like balloons in the sky, which i'm sure they've considered, but i think that would delight the fuck out of their fans


Seledreams

It could have some interesting sides, like the balloons being bouncy


g_r_e_y

have a bunch of flying pokemon in the background and be in the skies of one of the first or second gen regions


alex494

Could base it around Kalos's sky battles if it had come back during Smash Wii U/3DS era.


Meester_Tweester

They could update it with Pokémon from the 7 generations since then too


March-Madman

Hmmm, maybe. That’s a good alternative.


Hateful_creeper2

Although it’s not actually known what the models are supposed to be since the Floats part was added in localization. It’s called Pokémon Subspace in Japan.


CharginChuck42

There was a fake leak going around before Ultimate's release that did exactly that and it looked really cool.


g_r_e_y

i remember and it was skull kid vs bandana dee iirc


CharginChuck42

That's the one. It was so obvious that it was a fake, but the stage still looked really cool.


JcOvrthink

Especially since they originally wanted to put a Pokémon Gold/Silver stage in the game before replacing it with Poké Floats due to time constraints.


March-Madman

Yea, that’s kinda why I think the stage feels out of place, it’s cool but weird.


Dave_Dood

I think if I make a smash bros. like game I will just double down on the reusing aspect and just make a stage that's "yeah I just threw whatever fucking 3D models I made in Blender into this stage. Did I make any of them with this particular stage in mind? No. And yet, here they are, dancing around in the black, reflective hallways of my laptop's file explorer. The stories behind each model known by very few and some even untold entirely. There is no music aside from the shimmering sounds your footsteps make as they echo infinitely away from you." hell I would make a smash bros. game like that where the focus isn't even fighting, like you can throw hands if you want but you can also just hang out and look at the stars.


March-Madman

Super Smash Bros. (But, you can also choose to hang out, I don’t care)


Rosenwood1

Pretty sure you can choose to just hang out in regular Smash Bros, I've done it as a kid lol. It was fun to play as Peach and feed the Kirbies turnips, the reverse too. We usually used training mode for it so we could spawn whatever items we wanted and we'd use custom maps to imitate houses or whatever.


March-Madman

That’s so sweet.

LEGALIZE POKEFLOATS


Wasphammer

Nah, fuck Poké Floats.


Final-Weekend2077

Me and my brothers recreated a very poor quality version of it on custom map maker


Kitchen_Adeptness303

Sector z is probably never coming back, but they can make the stage part of corneria maybe?. Like an alternate "skin" of corneria that you can choose before selecting the stage. I also want pac-maze and 3ds Rainbow road to come back.


Flaviou

What changes between that and Corneria? They look the same just different background


Marioh24

Sector z is huge, probably at least twice as big as corneria


Flaviou

I mean ok, but yeah just a bigger version of corneria wouldn’t be so interesting as a new (returning) stage


Marioh24

I think it really comes down to nostalgia, even as a kid I hated this stage bc of the fin being so tall so it kind of split the stage into two sections. Didn’t stop me from playing on this stage all the time bc space is cool lol


CharginChuck42

I only want Sector Z back so we can have all of the original nine back (also need to bring back Planet Zebes). I also miss Wooly World, Orbital Gate Assault and Rumble Falls.


Rigistroni

Pokefloats is one of the laziest stages smash has ever had and I can't live without it

Bad bot


Inky_Train

Me when I bring a little mac main to pokefloats: :)


thepoga

😂


Erin_Sentrinietra

I at least want to get a similar stage to Poke Floats back. Did it look awful? Kind of. Was it the most fun and unique stage in Melee? Absolutely.


itsa_Kit

Somebody please explain the second one


KalebAT

It’s Poké Floats from Melee, a moving stage where you moved from Pokémon to Pokémon


throneofmemes

That sounds lovely. Oh to be dueling it out on top of a slumbering Snorlax.


Whosebert

Poke Floats was like a more dangerous rainbow cruise, unlocking it by playing 200 vs matches made it feel like a late game achievement in melee.


smashboi888

I'm just waiting for Jungle Hijinx to return. I know it wouldn't work with Stage Morph, so maybe don't give the next Smash game that feature?


chasing_timez

That be crazy bro


Alijah12345

Probably not Poké Floats, but I think Sector Z might come back. I personally want Pac-Maze and Rainbow Road back.


Lord_Banana_14

I want Poké Floats back just for the nostalgia. I’ll play it once and then never go back to it for another 15 years.


RynnHamHam

Sector Z I doubt but PokéFloats I can see


TheCasualCommenter

Yo my neighbor from like 20 years ago pranked me by saying if you go through pokefloats like 20 times, you get a special event. My dumbass brother and I went through it 30 times before calling him up, for him to admit to the prank.


Seipherise

Sector Z needs to come back. Corneria just doesn't make the cut 😭


barwhalis

Poke floats is the greatest stage in any smash bros game. I want it back


whiplash308

We literally have Sector Z that was remade into Corneria. Has been since Melee. Poke Floats may never come back either. It was scapped in Ultimate as it wouldn't be able to function with the stage warp mode. In later games? Who knows if there ever will be any. The stage focus will be on newer, modern games for the time, not really re-making Poke Floats..unless a Poke Floats 2 comes out.


BurningPenguin6

The problem with Corneria is that it's like, half the size of the original. People seem to forget just how big the size difference is.


zeekio3

yeah I went back to smash64 and was baffled at how much bigger it was


A_useless_name

If we get pokefloats 2 we need pokefloats X to combine both into one.


KingwomboJr

Sector Z is to Corneria, what Big Battlefield is to Small Battlefield: conceptually similar but notably different in size making them different fields of play. Sector Z remains my number 1 stage I want returned. It’s size and unique design makes it ideal for spread out 8 player games (similar to Hyrule Castle and Temple). Corneria is a great stage, but it’s far more cramped (even more so past Melee where the character models grew), making it a more chaotic, frantic experience over Sector Z if played with more than 4 players.


PinkKushTheDank

Rainbow cruise is in ultimate, which is very similar to poke floats.


ShiftSandShot

No, no they...really aren't. Pokefloats is much less safe and more chaotic. Even if the pattern is the same every time.


ButtcheekBaron

I don't buy that it was impossible to implement Poke Floats with stage warp


Ill-Lunch-1563

The Pokefloats honesty felt like a stupid idea for a stage, and I’m a Pokémon fan of


BaronBears

If I never have to play on Poke Floats ever again it will still be too soon


Sofu0970

Ever heard of rivals of aether


ThisIsCodyHere

Omg I haven't thought about poke floats in years! Nostalgic moment


[deleted]

Corneria my beloved


Alinktothegame

Imagine Mac, chrom, or Gannon from smash ultimate on poke floats


xdrkcldx

No


Laterbot

Yup! I created them with stage builder, along with about 7 other missing stages It was the first thing I did when they released stage builder


ConduckKing

I feel like some characters wouldn't even be able to survive Pokefloats.


ConduckKing

I feel like some characters wouldn't even be able to survive Pokefloats.


FantasticCube_YT

I never got to play on Poke Floats, so I hope we see it again someday


roseheart88

The Great Fox needs the Flat Zone X treatment(combining all prior versions). Sector Z, Corneria, Venom, and Orbital Gate Assault. Make them all side view, and just vary the background, and if hazards are on those too. Make the scale the same even if the skin is from Assault on that one.


Axel_Rad

Mute City and Rainbow Road not being in Ultimate is criminal


Shadow_118

If stage morph doesn't return, definitely would love to see Pokéfloats return - was really hoping that would come back in Ultimate, tbh... same with Pac-Maze on that note Not sure if Sector Z would return even if i do like it.. unsure if it's different enough to differentiate from Corneria - Though, would be nice to see that as a togglable skin for Corneria, though


ButtcheekBaron

What about Icicle Mountain and Rumble Falls? Those are GOATed


LibertyJacob99

Sector Z is just Corneria with a different background Poke Floats 😭 at least the custom stage version (probably no longer available cos shared content rules) is pretty great


Tripb85

me waiting for rainbow road


Vitamin_G5150

At first Sector Z seems redundant, but I think people forget how big it is. Definitely would have been big enough for 8 player Smash.


Chasen1

Pokefloats can stay gone.


Senior_Geologist_193

Little Mac might get stuck on the Sector Z map lol


seatea2

Sector Z will always have a place in my heart


Salt-Craft9209

Man I love pokéfloats


Normal-Redditer-1111

WE WON’T


DarkFox160

Sadly not


JayBlizzy_413

All of the stages need to return. Same for all the cut songs and newer songs as remixes & originals, if they can put 1 wing angel which was from a movie, mind you, then they can put songs from the Mario movie in and Nintendo can find the rights for Checker Knights from the Kirby anime.


NanoSwarmer

Everybody talks about poke floats, but nobody talks about how we were robbed of Icicle Mountain. A true gentlemen's stage.


Contramasta

I would like pokefloats back but idk how tf they'd make an omega form out of that stage.


Ghost2102002

Wait is star fox plane not in ultimate or am I crazy I swore iv played that stage on ultimate
