Okay, I take it Phinos already submitted a similar stage here ^_^;.
Anyway, I'm submitting this because I didn't want to waste it from my SBO's records (and I suppose EarthBound / Mother 2 is more known than NES EarthBound / Mother 1).

Name: Dusty Dunes Desert (Eagleland)
From: EarthBound (SNES, 1995)

Suggested layout:
Background music:

Description:
Welcome to Dusty Dunes Desert! Once you get in, you won't get out... without a heavy sunstroke!
You'll be fighting near an excavation in the desert, while trying to avoid a variety of events ruled by no other than the weird Sanchez Bros. (they're Pancho, Poncho, and Thomas Jefferson). The Sanchez Bros. will be seen in the background working as a human slot machine that will reset every 30 seconds. Depending on the icons in the slots, you will see either:
A very funny background music (the same from Yucca Desert) will play while you're on this stage. You will see other EarthBound enemies in the background, like Skelpion, Desert Wolfs, and Talah Rahma's monkeys.
Xatu's forecast:
Low-to-medium chances of appearing in SSBB
----------
So I guess if Onett doesn't come back, then this could be a sensible replacement.
Maybe the human slot machine is too minor an event to be considered the engine for this stage's mechanics, but that's the funniest thing I could think of when I first made this.

The Sanchez Bros. will be seen in the background working as a human slot machine that will reset every 30 seconds. Depending on the icons in the slots, you will see either:
- A right-to-left stampede of Crested Bookas that will shriek annoyingly. They don't crash with the characters; instead, they just let them dazed (like when breaking shields).
- A left-to-right stampede of Bad Buffalos, equivalent to the cars from Onett.
- An invasion of 2 Cute Lil' UFOs (one from each side) that will fire a beam and run away.
- A Smilin' Sphere will appear flying, firing PSI Fire Beta to one of the characters for 3 times. After that, it will start laughing maniacally and will left the stage.
- The sun will shine so brightly, the characters will lose 5% energy per second for 20 seconds
- A Criminal Caterpillar will appear from the ground. Destroy it and some SSBM recovery items will appear in the stage.

). The layout is nice, too. 
. Not sure if they're even called "Sanchez Bros." or that's just a fan name (it didn't appear in the strategy guide as far as I remember), but I guess calling them like that is part of the fun, just like the case of David Jr. from TLoZ.
