The modding community for super Smash Bros. for Wii U has exploded over the past few months, with talented people working together to create new character skins, a special Tournament Edition, and re-texturing existing stages for different looks. It was only a matter of time until modders started working together to port old stages from Melee and Project M to Smash 4.

After hints on Twitter and some promising screenshots, the Yoshi’s Story stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee has been remade and successfully ported to Smash 4. This isn’t just a re-skin of Battlefield though–it’s a proper replica of the starter stage, complete with same blast zones and a working version of everyone’s favorite smiling cloud, Randall. While the cloud timings are slightly off compared to Melee, it’s still a great feat to clone the stage and get it looking so vibrant in Smash 4. Currently, the stage replaces Kongo Jungle 64 Omega, as modders haven’t quite figured out how to replace normal stages without causing the game to lock up. This stage is also not safe to use online, so don’t expect to play this with friends over Wi-Fi.

The stage is available for download from gamebanana now; check out the video below to see the stage in action. The video even teases a remake of Fountain of Dreams, so expect that stage to also grace many modded copies of Smash in the near future.
