My favorite video game of all time!

I have to go with the following:

Rainbow Ride
Tick Tock Clock
Shifting Sand Land
Lethal Lava Land

Those four, to me, are the best overall combinations of being challenging (in a relative sense), worth exploring, and just plain fun.
Only guy on the entire internet thinking about the Scoobyverse.

I mean Jolly Roger Bay uses the music too

The song is just named for Dire Dire Docks for whatever the reason
Thanks, I almost voted for the wrong one. Jolly Roger Bay is the good one with the Eel.

I was honestly half-wondering if everyone who said Dire Dire Docks REALLY meant Jolly Roger Bay, which I feel is almost inarguably more iconic, lol

The only way DDD is sort of iconic is that it's one of the only levels you HAVE to enter in a speedrun, otherwise it's pretty clearly a filler level

I don't know, just feels right
Also have to go with this

I almost went with Shifting Sand Lands or Tick Tock Clock over Jolly Roger Bay, but the music is too iconic
azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify

It's an iconic game, so I get it. Snowman's Land is the only stage I can't see an argument for.

My argument for Snowmans Land is that it is better than Dire, Dire Docks which does have several votes.
The azuarc of the contest universe is long, but it bends toward Guruship.

I am for Dire Dire Docks and went the other way around, almost voting for Jolly Roger Bay by mistake. It is unique with its placement in the game, the way you enter it and it even has a narrative which most levels dont. Its an iconic level.
I just decided to change this sig.

Rainbow Ride is iconic, but not in a good way. If y'all think "number of times you fall off the map due to level design and camera placement" makes for a legendary stage, you do you.

Actually, you know what? I think we're missing a couple easy choices if we're just looking for what goes on Rushmore.

Change to:

do you really need a mt rushmore for a single game? feels like that kinda takes away from the concept since what makes it cool is capturing stuff from sifferent sources and eras
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

This one was pretty heavily nominated and originally set for Mario day, but due to the small scale I bumped it back

for the most part the Rushmores we do now are from nominations, we have mostly gotten through the original slate of Zen Ideas

I think it's okay to do a single game if it's popular enough, and Mario 64 clearly is

So many other choices could have gone with. BBH has that damn piano. WDW has the resurgence due to the sudden popularity in liminal spaces and that one creepypasta(?). WF and DDD for being notable in speedruns ... CCM has the penguins and we just love to dunk on them ....

Ultimately went with RR over TTC. Being a stage in the Smash game everyone cums over has to count for something, right?

Princess Peach's Castle

Thank you -- was looking for this.

Princess Peach's Castle
Bob-Omb Battlefield
Whomp's Fortress
Tall Tall Mountain

...oh wait, Zen banned the castle! You get stars, exploration, and NPCs there like any other stage, it evolves with your progress, it's bigger than most worlds, it features the biggest secret in the game, has more "wonder" to it than most stages, and dangit it just feels good to jump through that glitchy spot in the spiral staircase room. It is a hub world more than a traditional stage, but also if someone said Gruntilda's Lair in a Banjo-Kazooie topic like this I would consider that valid too.

Alternatively, nominate hub worlds.

Voting for Peach's Castle would be like voting for Rosalina's Observatory for Galaxy. It's not really in the spirit of the question.

On the topic of single games I did briefly wonder about maybe suggesting N64 Zeldas rather than just Ocarina of Time but really that might actually be less interesting because Stone Tower Temple would probably be locked and none of the other Majoras Mask dungeons have a chance, so it would actually become less interesting.
I just decided to change this sig.
