Even among the Melee stages, there are a few hidden ones. Here I’d like to do a quick rundown of four such venues. <Jungle Japes> Here’s Cranky Kong’s shack and outhouse. Fierce rushing waters flow beneath the platforms! <Green Greens> This stage is just hanging in space like some floating island Whispy Woods and the trademark stacking blocks made it here intact. <Pokémon Stadium> Pokémon Stadium 2 is available in Brawl but we’ve brought back the original as well. Just like the newer iteration of this stage, Melee Pokémon Stadium’s terrain transforms into four different types. Fire Type: It calls to mind the charred aftermath of a volcanic eruption. Water Type: The real star of this terrain is probably the waterwheel. Rock Type: The towering mass of rock on the left side of the screen is this terrain’s distinguishing feature. Lastly, here’s the Grass Type. This one’s comparatively simple in its structure. Add the above four types to the additional four available in the Pokémon Stadium 2 stage and you’ve got a total of 8 different elemental terrain types to fight in. <Big Blue> This unique stage has a real sense of breakneck speed to it. Get the jump on the opponent from one of the F-Zero machines cruising by.
The Melee stages available in Brawl are arranged so that you get one from each game world.
You can use the My Music feature on Melee stages, too.
In the previous Smash Bros., the background music for each stage had the same name as the stage regardless of the song’s source, so you may find yourself feeling a bit like "Huh?" when viewing just the song titles for some of the music on these stages. (EarthBound-related music is the exception to this rule.)
Additionally, the My Music feature for these Melee stages allows you to include some secret songs and music from other stages from that game world in your mixes! Collect all the songs and try it out for yourself.

I knew Pokémon Stadium would be back. A fairly "meh" update, to be honest. Nothing particularly hilarious or interesting going on...

YES!!! Big Blue is back!! God, I love this stage...
As for the others....pretty meh in my opinion.
And why couldn't we have the Fountain of Dreams stage instead of the Green Greens stage. *does a Von Karma-esque headbang*.

Because Fountain of Dreams is just Battlefield?

My friend will be so disappointed to see Jungle Japes ;D
It will be great to replay some of these old stages with a customised music selection! Love that last picture with Snake and MK.

Of the four stage, I like Pokemon Stadium the best. It's like five stages in one.

Hmmmm, I miss the Fountain of Dreams level too, could have been Dedede's stage...
Oh well, I could make his tower level from Kirby's Dreamland as a level...
I also miss Pokefloats and Fourside...

One thing I don't like bout the old stages though. You can only play Melee music on them! (The Great Temple thing was a sole exception! Sakurai advertised that like if there were others to come....)

This is, like, playing Mute City in Big Blue. Still Melee music for Melee stages.
There's only one non-Melee music that can be played in a Melee stage!

YL's right. I only have Peach's Castle and Rainbow Road music for the Rainbow Road stage, for example; even then some of the new additions aren't that drastic (Melee's SMB3 music for Yoshi's Island, for example). It's actually kind of a disappointment XD
