The "Meta Crystal" stage is themed after [[Metal Mario]], and specifically is built from props used in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]], such as the wire nets and the crystals. While "Meta Crystal" itself is not a location in the ''Mario'' games, that's not a thing unique to this one among ''Smash'' stages; for instance, there is no location called (or even resembling) "Poké Floats" anywhere in the ''Pokémon'' games or other media, that stage is simply an excuse to recycle some static ''Pokémon Stadium 2'' models and call it a stage. Similarly, the "Temple" stage is not based off anywhere specific in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, but is based on a dungeon archetype used in several games (at the time, notably ''The Adventure of Link'', ''Ocarina of Time'', and ''Majora's Mask''), but in practice looks more like a generic Medieval European ruin than anywhere specific in that series. Meta Crystal is no different in that regard, and for that reason I think it should be treated as a ''Mario''-based stage and given its own page here. If [[The Lake]] is ''Mario''-based enough to keep its page, then this should be too. | The "Meta Crystal" stage is themed after [[Metal Mario]], and specifically is built from props used in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]], such as the wire nets and the crystals.

#{{User|TheUndescribableGhost}} It's based on the Behind the Waterfall course from ''Super Mario 64''; there's no arguing with this. | #{{User|TheUndescribableGhost}} It's based on the Behind the Waterfall course from ''Super Mario 64''; there's no arguing with this. | ||
#{{User|Hewer}} Makes sense based on other things we have split (e.g. [[Kongo Falls]] isn't any specific location from the Donkey Kong franchise but is still based on the franchise in general), plus its association with Metal Mario. Per all. | #{{User|Hewer}} Makes sense based on other things we have split (e.g. [[Kongo Falls]] isn't any specific location from the Donkey Kong franchise but is still based on the franchise in general), plus its association with Metal Mario.

#{{User|Mario}} It's a stage that belongs to a Mario character, so, sure, we should probably cover that. Even if I do think the resemblance to Hazy Maze Cave's Behind the Waterfall is not really there | #{{User|Mario}} It's a stage that belongs to a Mario character, so, sure, we should probably cover that. Even if I do think the resemblance to Hazy Maze Cave's Behind the Waterfall is not really there, and the stage hasn't reappeared in Smash; even the Omega version of Great Cave Offensive was used as a stand-in for the Metal Mario spirit fight. | ||

:Given that they were talking about Subspace levels the sentence before, I assumed they meant [[smashwiki:Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|the literal Mushroom Kingdom stage from the ''other'' Adventure Mode]], which does NOT have an article here at all, as far as I know, despite the fact that it's 100% a Mario level compared to literally any level in Subspace Emissary. {{User:Arend/sig}} 08:43, August 24, 2024 (EDT) | :Given that they were talking about Subspace levels the sentence before, I assumed they meant [[smashwiki:Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|the literal Mushroom Kingdom stage from the ''other'' Adventure Mode]], which does NOT have an article here at all, as far as I know, despite the fact that it's 100% a Mario level compared to literally any level in Subspace Emissary. {{User:Arend/sig}} 08:43, August 24, 2024 (EDT) | ||

@Ray Trace: I don't see how the music track being listed as from Smash changes anything. The games also classify [[Giga Bowser]] as being from Smash rather than from Mario. Giga Bowser is original to Smash but based on something from the Mario franchise and thus warrants an article, just like Meta Crystal. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 11:28, August 24, 2024 (EDT) | @Ray Trace: I don't see how the music track being listed as from Smash changes anything.
