Download the battle stage background textures here. You'll have to morph them in order to have them look like they do in the game, since these textures are applied onto a cylinder (with no top). Alternatively, get the .bmd0 models of the stages here, use version 2.0 of the Console Tool by Low Lines to view them, and make screenshots of the desired angle.
