I think ROM CHECK FAIL would make for a pretty sweet stage. I don't think it would necessarily be that hard to make, either.
Oh my god, one of the best ideas I've heard of all day. F*cking Warioware stage...  |

No. We have no chance of getting permission to use Nintendo and Atari game elements, and most people won't get the reference and will just think 'oh, Mario stage!' |

It's possible. It might be hard to choose games that are simple and iconic enough to capture the feel of RCF, though.

ROM CHECK FAIL: Indie Edition? I think that's straying too far.
Although ROM CHECK FAIL would be awesome as a stage without all the copyright concerns, I think it was originally created as more of an homage to mainstream retro games than a nod to indie gaming. Good idea, but not applicable in any feasible way.

Well If possible I'd think it'd be easy if the genres presented in ROM Check Fail were swapped for iconic games, it'd be fine.
Like replacing Asteroids with one of Cactus' shmups, like Clean Asia.

But then, I'm wondering how many people would even realise it was supposed to be RCF, unless they were told so by the game...

Each level should have a name, amirite? |

Well, yes. But what I mean is that the level shouldn't be recognizable only by its name.
I also don't feel that the switching of different settings/games would add much to the level. RCF really only contains 3 elements: Player, enemies, and blocks. I don't see how the first two could be implemented in an Indie Brawl stage. So you are basically left with a vanilla stage, that changes appearance every now and then.

I think we can manage to find a game that emphasizes this concept enough to warrant a standalone stage. Any ideas, guys? |

I'd also like to say that I think a lot of our stage concepts are very busy with traps and moving things, and it's important to have some vanilla stages too. I just don't like this particular stage idea for some reason. |

I remember it coming up in the Bonesaw stage thread somewhere, what with the bombs and cannons and all. |

Knytt should be that one stage that is huge and has absolutely no traps or hazards.

How about not a RCF level, but a level that uses a RCF-inspired mechanic?
It should be easy to do - make three generic level layouts that can be switched at random, each utilizing a mixture of already existing tiles from other stages?
It would make for a bit of a mumble jumble, but I think it could work. Also maybe people get it by not associating with the different games but with the changing mechanic itself..?

It would be a "Farbs" level.

Um... why? (if you're being serious)
In case it isn't clear, we're talking about an option in the menu to toggle stage hazards just like you would toggle items.

Well, I think it takes away from each stage, and I think it would be better if we just made a couple of hazardless stages.

Actually, I think Yama has a pretty good point. Turning off hazards for some stages might be more difficult than you would think.
