Yes, this is very, very much like Kirby Superstar. Also very much like Sonic and Tails. This rocks. Wow. Just... wow. I was hoping for this, but this just freaking owns. Just... simply, wow.
Enemies have health bars. This alone shows me that this will be radically more in-depth than Melee's adventure mode.
Pit and Mario
do meet up. As someone guessed before, I'd imagine that when Mario goes flying off after getting hit by Petey, he knocks Pit out of the sky or something.
I assume that when enemies come in numbers, the screen remains stationary, so you can get knocked off. Or, like in Melee, you just have to get hit at a certain velocity and then you die that way.
The map screen looks kind of "meh" so far. I'm willing to bet it extends greatly.
What is up with the screenshot that shows the teams, and at the top it says "Members: 3" ? Three members? But there are only two teams, and each has two characters!
Stock is set per stage, which is a smart idea. I don't know of many people that didn't play without five stock anyway.
It looks like this mode will make you try and use every single character in the game. That is very, very awesome. It will force me to use Pit, and force other people to use characters they may not have wanted to try.
Did anyone else notice there are the same number of difficulty settings? They just took out "Very easy" and put in "Intense".

There’s a method for powering yourself up as needed to do battle with the Subspace Army—a method that has not been seen before.
I’ll explain this in great detail another time.
UUUUUUGH.
