Double Deck

History:

Luigi, always in the shadow of his brother, Mario, sought to develop his own Battle Stages after seeing Mario successfully do so. He put tremendous resources into creating Double Deck, a shoddy complex battle stage at best. It was always second to Block Fort, though, a trait that perennial second banana Luigi never forgot.


64:

Double Deck is maddening. As its name suggests, it consists of two major decks, one red and one green. There is, however, multiple levels on these decks as well as a large central platform on a separate level. This is another stage where errant Green Shells can be the death of a Battler, especially as they work their way down to the lowest levels. It's a tough Stage to wrap one's head around and it's easy to get lost trying to find someone to battle. This course could use a remake, as it may do better with 10-16 players rather than the 4-limit of 64.
