Most recently, a new Super Smash Bros 4 stage for Sonic the Hedgehog has been revealed by director Masahiro Sakurai for the upcoming game.
The level is called Windy Hill and features a giant windmill on the right side of the stage. According to Sakurai, the windmill will constantly be turning throughout the match and could potentially knock the characters off the screen. The windmill has platforms for the players to stand on as it turns. See the preview image here.
"The giant wind mill in the right-hand side of Windy Hill. It keeps on turning even though it can't fit in the screen, so you'll find yourself in trouble if you're on it for too long," said Sakurai on the Nintendo Miiverse.
Last month this stage was hinted at when Sonic: Lost World came out in Japan.
Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Pit, Olimar, Toon Link, Princess Peach, Sonic the Hedgehog, MegaMan, Marth, the Female Wii Fit Trainer, and the Villager.
This will be the fourth game in the series and the first to also come to a handheld.
