Of the four arenas on offer here, the Meteo & Corneria stages are the most fun because there's a good amount of breathing room & hiding places. While I do think the battle stages in general are an improvement simply because they have more meat to them, I still think they could have pushed for a bit more locations. That's not nearly as disappointing as omitting an existing feature, though.

In all of this shuffle towards updating and revamping, the team responsible for the remake did not see fit to retain the unlockable Landmaster vehicles and the ability to have on-foot battles as seen in the original. That's a big loss to me, and I have no idea why the developers thought it would be okay to dispense with these alluring multiplayer enhancements. I was not happy about this at all.
