Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, Hades, by jvvi.
I know, the games not actually out yet, but I’ve watched the gameplay video so many times it’s imprinted in my memory more than most games I’ve actually played.
I really love this stage. Hell, I loved it in God of War 3. I can’t wait to play it.
[Josh says: Ha!  We should have a whole “draw a map from a game you haven’t actually played” challenge some time.]

Super Smash Bros Melee, poke floats, by joseph.
Its fun to play it in invisible melee and only 1 stock survival to see who can last the longest.

Zork Super Smash Bros Melee, Hyrule Temple, by joseph.
Don’t deny it! You know this is the stage you played most.

Some sort of octagon thing, I guess Super Smash Bros Melee, Final Destination, by joseph.
You know how hard its to draw a octagon so it looks flat? Even a normal octagon is hard! 
[Josh says: joseph, man, I have no idea what this is!  Help me out here.  Thanks, internet!  And now it’s obvious and I am a doofus, because god dang but I hated that freakin’ Mr. Hand jerk.]

Kung Fu, world map, by Rob Newbold.
[Updated!  Rob’s comments got lost originally, here they are.]
It’s a  map of Kung Fu from the Nintendo Entertainment System.  I’m not sure  why the comments didn’t go through.  I said something about how my  friend and I had saved up for months to buy it when we were young… We  got to the department store and had a choice between Kung Fu and Kid  Icarus.  It is still the worst decision I’ve ever made.. And I’ve been  divorced TWICE!
[Josh says: this is a stirring indictment of something, but no details were provided so I don’t know of what Kung Fu that’s more thorough than I could do because I only got past the first floor once.  It was, indeed, a fairly butt game.]

Super Smash Bros Melee, Hyrule Temple, by frozenimplosion.
A quick sketch of the Hyrule Temple map from Super Smash Bros. Melee, I added a couple of (the easier to draw) characters, and some random items I remember from the game.I use to play this game practically every weekend with friends and this was always pretty much our collective favorite to play on.
