Spookane (SSS)

Spookane is the longest-lasting retired stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted early in Season 4, during the "trial" week in which SSS was testing out a one-hour format, and was the 23rd stage to debut overall. Active for close to 32 years, the stage saw 636 playings in its lifetime, which makes it the most frequently played retired stage (and the 33rd most frequent as of the end of Season 48, although Hyrule Market, Yoshi's Island 2 and Pilotwings aren't that far behind...).
==Stage overview==
You were sandwiched between Spookane's hotel and the Rosemary House, with train tracks dividing the stage. There was no bottom kill zone, and the side kill zones were walk-off. You could stand on the awnings of the hotel (there were three of them), but if you did so for too long, they'd fall off. They'd return after 15 seconds, though. At regular intervals, a train would speed by. Obviously, it would hurt you to touch it, and quite hard, too, killing at 50%, which coincidentally happened to be the amount of damage it did on a sweetspot.
Various enemies appeared as stage hazards, most of them from the house, although occasionally a Barbot, Little Saucer, or Starman would be thrown into the mix.
==Changes==
None, unless you count the music being "upgraded" to the version heard in Earthbound circa 1989.
==Why it was retired==
Unusually, it was retired not because of any fault with the stage itself, but because of Ninten. By 2007, he was seen as just an inferior clone of Ness. By extension, the stage was seen as either an inferior Onett or Fourside.
Near the end Season 43, the stage briefly came back, but only to make a cameo appearance as Alex launched an extremely scathing tirade against Rachel Dolezal, a resident of who'd gotten in a major controversy. Its presence was not acknowledged in any way.
==In its own universe==
Spookane is a major location in Earthbound Beginnings, despite only being the second smallest town in the game. It's the home of the fourth melody that Ninten must collect.
