Stages/Levels*

[Wes]

My idea of the stage background (not drawn to size, obviously)

The tree on the right was just something I added to balance out the picture a bit. The main part of the floating island landmass would be on the left. Even though it sticks out a little bit past the edge of the stage, it would still be part of the background and not be able to be interacted with. There could be rocks, and those emeralds on the bottom, sticking out of the hill, and the water splits and goes around the stage. I am assuming it would just flow right under the fighting platform, but if we make it a very calm, easy-flowing stream, then maybe the water could even flow over the fighting platform (again, it'd be an aesthetic change only, characters wouldn't slip or anything. It'd be like stepping in a puddle pretty much).

Is this too much? I feel like I'm getting overly-complicated with my design.
