History
Development
Because of how long Spikeout: Digital Battle Online was designed to be, with each of the 3 stages often taking half an hour to clear, it was originally decided by the development team to cut 2 of their stage ideas. However, after the game proved popular, it was decided to reintroduce these ideas in an update.[5]
