Transcontinental Railroad is a new third-party stage from the universe Fatal Fury.
Stage Overview[]
The platform, just like in the original, would keep rumbling to really sell the idea of it being continental traintrip. As for the stage layout itself, visually-speaking it would pretty much be identical to its Garou counerpart. When zoomed out the entire stage would come into view, here's a shoddy mock-up I've made to visualize the size of the stage. The wooden logs and caboose on the sides would work as walls, so you'll only be able to blast your opponents to the upper sides and the sky. Although that isn't everything this stage has to offer...
Here comes the dealmaker, the stage's background isn't constantly going to be the ocean. In fact, this train will visit iconic places from the Fatal Fury series, so you better hop in before it departs! Inbetween the locations are smooth periods of transition. The stage will go through an entire day, from morning, where the start of the cycle begins, till night, where the end of the cycle ends! Of course, this is to reference the fact that a lot of Fatal Fury stages have these daytime/nighttime transitions inbetween rounds. The stage would both start AND end in the waiting line very early in the morning (2nd round version of the original stage) and after around 10 seconds it will start to ready for its departure. Here's a roadmap of the stage in full (spoilered), along with some mockups of mine that would help visualize the stage along with the train. While I do want to preface that the mockups don't represent the actual stage, and they're just here as a visualization tool, cause you're gonna have to do a bit more imagining yourself.
| Image | Section | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Freight Express Station | This is the first section in this stage, although it is originally the second round variant of Terry's stage. This is where we start off, passengers. While the original version takes place in the middle of the day, we'll take some liberty and set this up in the morning, right before sunset. After around 10 seconds, we'll start to depart! |
 |
Sunrise | One of the travelling sections in this stage, originally this is the first round variant of Terry's stage in MotW. Here you can take in the beautiful sunrise. Sometimes an airplane might appear in the distance, which clearly upon further inspection belongs to Alfred Airhawk. Once that's over with, we'll slowly enter a foresty area... |
 |
Sarah Forest | Still in the late morning, we have our first stop after departure. This is Butt's/Marco's homestage from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. No cameo from him though, only his lonely hut, training equipment, broken trees due to incredible training and animals. We'll stay in this section for around 20-25 seconds, then we'll start to depart yet again. Once we leave this forest area, it starts to become a bit desert-ish. |
 |
West Albuequerque | In the heat of the day, at noon, yet another travelling section, in the background of the Freight Express we see the iconic Mount Rushmore from Terry's stage in Fatal Fury 2. Nostalgic! Once Mount Rushmore disappears, our transition to a new area begins and our next stop awaits. We enter a city. |
 |
South Town Village | Once afternoon comes, we travel through South Town village, based on Billy's stage in the first ever Fatal Fury. Just like the original stage, you can spot a car with the word "SNK" graffiti'd on it. Unlike the original stage in Fatal Fury, there are no random onlookers viewing the battle. Perhaps all gone to watch the battle in the KOF Stadium? After a good 15 seconds, we'll stop in another nearby and very iconic location. |
 |
Howard Arena | We're now in the late afternoon and we have a temporary stop. In the center, from a distance, we notice the iconic Howard Estate, based on Fatal Fury 3. With the passing of time, the clouds begin to close, until raindrops fall. In addition, the light from the buildings in the background lit up. Once we depart yet again, the weather has mercy on us and it stops raining. |
 |
Barbaroi Fallls | In the evening we enter a rocky mountaneous area and travel through it, upon resting at a waterfall spot. We take a breather and fully take in that beautiful waterfall. This location is based on Gato's stage in MotW. Once night comes, which is in about 15 seconds, we'll start riding. There's seems to be a coast ahead of us. |
 |
Blue Wave Harbor | We finally enter night, and make yet again a temporary stop, this time at the Harbor, more specifically Blue Wave Harbor. This is originally B. Jenet's stage from Mark of the Wolves, who is the captain of the Lilien Knights. In the background we notice their ship that is destroying the pier. We also notice some more boats, palm trees and some sailors. After a bit, we depart, nearing the end of our trip. |
 |
Freight Express Bridge | We're finally nearing the end of our tour of both Old and New South Town and mount a bridge. No stop here, we ride this entire bridge, baby. Instead of it being day, like in the original version of Terry's stage in MotW, we're pretty late into the night. We ride on the Express Bridge for a while, and arrive back to our station for a temporary stop, this resets the cycle, and we depart yet again early in the morning. |
Origin[]
The stage is a recompilation of multiple stages of the Fatal Fury series, with the Freight Express from Garou: Mark of the Wolves as the main setting.
