I wanted this stage to be in the game, but because each fighter now has a corresponding stage and it's a whole "one of each" thing, it was difficult to find someone to pair it with. I settled on Balloon Fighter because I didn't like his SSB4 stage and I couldn't think of anything else that wouldn't also have that same awkward gimmick.

There are not a lot of fighters who's corresponding stage is in a different universe. The only other examples of this are R.O.B. (PictoChat 3) and Mach Rider (Excitebikes).

There are also not too many examples of a newcomer having a past stage as their corresponding stage. The other examples of this are Skull Kid (Great Bay), Ghirahim (Skyloft), and Paper Mario (Paper Kingdom).
