Introduction                                                            [I1010]

Hey guys! This is the first guide I�m writing. I have chosen a specific part of
a game in this case the Stage Builder in the great (well, I think it's great)
game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Stage Builder is a cool thing in which you
can build your own Brawl stages. You can play on these stages with your friends
and you can send your custom stages to other people over the Wii-Connect24
function for the Wii. Well, I hope you enjoy my guide!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version History                                                         [V2010]

June 29, 2009; Version 0.01: Blanc file, started with my guide.

July 02, 2009; Version 1.00: Finished guide and ready to upload.

Stage Builder                                                           [S3010]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is the Stage Builder                                              [S3010]

You can find the Stage Builder when you choose Vault in the Brawl main menu and
then Stage Builder. After hitting Stage Builder the Stage Builder Menu Screen
will appear.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage Builder Menu                                                      [S3020]

In the Stage Builder Menu you can create a new stage or modify stages you
created already.

In the right upper corner of the screen you can see where the displayed stages
are saved. This could be the Wii Console or your SD-Card. The number shows you
how many stages has been saved here.

In the middle of the screen are the stages you have already created and the
NEW! Button. If your cursor is on a self-created stage then under it will be
displayed the comment you have given to the stage and the music which plays
when you use this stage.

At the bottom of the screen is a bar of tools for your stages. Simply press the
down-button on your controller to go there.
With the Erase-button you can delete your stages when you don�t need them any
more. If you click on it you will be asked if you are sure to delete it. Press
Yes to delete it or No to keep the stage saved. But be warned: If you delete
the stage it will be unrecoverable erased.
With the SD Card button you can choose what you want to do. If you press Check
Content then you can see the stages saved on your SD Card. In the right upper
corner you can see a SD Card now and the SD Card button on the bottom of the
screen has changed to a Wii Console Button. If you press check content on this
button it will change again. If one of your stages is highlighted choose the
SD Card button and use the copy button to copy the selected stage to your
SD Card. If you use the move button the selected stage will be taken to your
SD Card without copying.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Stage Screen                                                        [S3030]

Press the NEW! button in the middle of the Stage Builder Menu to create a new
stage and open this menu.
First of all, you can choose how big your stage should be. There are three
possibilities:
Small   (10 blocks wide and 8 blocks high)
Medium  (14 blocks wide and 11 blocks high)
Large   (18 blocks wide and 14 blocks high)

After you decided how big your stage should be you can choose a background for
it. The parts you can use for your stage depends on the background you choose.
The first is a nature background which is used in the Subspace Emissary on
The Plains, The Forest and The Jungle. You can see the sky with big clouds and
some mountains.
The second is a ruin background. You can see a big ruined castle in a dark
cave.
The third is a background which is used in the Subspace Emissary for the Ruined
hall where Lucas and Pok�mon Trainer had to fight against Galleom.

The last thing you have to decide is which music should play while you play on
your stage. Choose the game and then music from this game. If you want to
listen to the songs simply press the displayed button (depending on which
controller you are using). Press it again to stop the song.

If you made a decision of the size, the background and the music which plays
press OK to get to the main screen of the Stage Builder.

Press OK when the name is good for you.

You can also write a comment for your stage. This can be more information about
the stage or something. The system of typing is the same as you were using at
the name.

The last step is the music selection. Here you can decide which music will play
on your custom stage when you fight on it. This is the same as on the New Stage
Screen.

Press the Save button if your stage is ready to be brawled on! You had to
choose where the stage should be saved. You can choose between the SD Card and
your Wii console. There you can see how many blocks are free. The display says
that your stage needs one block to be saved but it needs not even one block.
You will be asked if you are sure to save. Press yes and your stage will be
saved.
After this you will be asked if you want to continue editing. Make your choice.
If you press Yes, you will stay on the Save Stage Screen. If you choose No,
you will be taken to the Stage Builder Menu Screen.
