Check the last page of this topic for constant updates so I don't have to keep updating this post.
Background swaps and retextures
These are my personal specialty, or at least my favorite type of stage hacks. They're modifications of the original stages which don't affect how they play.
Final Jungle
This is the first one I made back when background swaps were a new concept. People were only swapping the original backgrounds, but I got the idea to swap background parts that were already retextured.
Corneria in space
BattleSkiff
My most popular stage
Ripped Sky FD
Dream of Mirrors
Night Eldin Temple
This was the first Temple background swap, because normally the background is part of the same model as the main stage. I got the idea to remove the background by editing the materials of the model.
Smashville Waterfall
B75
Cave Flower (FD)

Hazard modifications
These are stages that are edited so they behave differently than their default counterparts. Yeah, it's kinda hard to show these in pictures since there's nothing visually changed about them >_>
Frozen Pokemon Stadium 2
People used to use a code to freeze this, but that caused some issues. Editing the stage directly is simpler for users to just download and throw on their SD card without bothering with codes.
Calm Pirate Ship
I liked the way this stage looked, but the hazards always distracted me from admiring the scenery. Here, ALL of the random events have been removed (including the non-damaging ones), so it's just the ship sailing along without interruption. The water is still there.

SSE stages
Parts of the SSE that you can play in Vs. mode.
The Cave
The Ice Cave
A retextured version of the previous stage that gives it a different atmosphere. The collisions are the same so you could use it with the alternate stage loader.
Forest stage
This stage was made waaay back in the day, right when Brawlbox first came out. People were new at replacing models, so the first version of this stage (made by somebody else) had some glitches. I attempted to fix some of them and re-released the stage myself. Later, libertyernie fixed even more of the glitches and added it the the Vault. You can find this stage on my BrawlVault and his.
Dark Subspace
I personally ported this stage back when SSE imports were new. However, like the previous stage, it had some problems. In this case, most of the background was missing (but I didn't know it at the time). Later, Mewtwo2000 fixed the background as well as all the glitches, but you can still download my original version in case you like the black sky instead of the purple one.

Imported stages
Models taken from other games.
Peach's Castle outside
This stage was imported from Mario Kart Wii by someone else, but he left the stage position in the default area, which created a walkoff stage. I moved the stage so you now fight on this hill overlooking the castle. There are now real death boundaries on all four sides including the bottom.

2D stages
I dislike 2D stages, but I had to make one after I got the idea to use sprites.
Snake Man's stage
I checked a bunch of Mega Man stages looking for good spots that would work as SSB stages, and I came up with this. Unfortunately, this stage has a few glitches as a result of my inexperience at the time that I made it. I don't play Brawl anymore and I won't pick it up again until Project M comes out, so I don't know when I'll get around to fixing them. Sorry . But people keep downloading it anyway, so I guess it's still playable despite the problems.
