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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stage Builder Main Screen [S3040] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Controls [S3041] Wii Remote Up...............Move cursor up Down.............Move cursor down Left.............Move cursor left Right............Move cursor right A................Put away the selected part B................Switch between All parts, Floors, Structures and Features B when placing...Place the selected part more than once + once...........Jump to the Test Stage button + twice..........Test your built stage - & Down or Up...Zoom in or out if you build a medium or large stage 1 once...........Jump to the back button 1 twice..........Leave the Stage Builder 1 when placing...Put away the selected part 2 on stage.......Move the selected part 2 on part list...Select the part 2 when placing...Place the part once Wii Remote & Nunchuk Nunchuk Up.......Move cursor up Nunchuk Down.....Move cursor down Nunchuk Left.....Move cursor left Nunchuk Right....Move cursor right A on stage.......Move the selected part A on part list...Select the part A when placing...Place the part once B once...........Jump to the back button B twice..........Leave the Stage Builder B when placing...Put away the selected part + once...........Jump to the Test Stage button + twice..........Test your built stage -................Put away the selected part Down or Up.......Zoom in or out if you build a medium or large stage 2................Undo last step C................Rotate parts Z................Switch between All parts, Floors, Structures and Features Z when placing...Place the selected part more than once ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Screen [S3042] There are many things to see on the Stage Builder screen.
