Stay off this text, jerks! He has personal issues.
What stages will be starters or counterpicks aside from the big two? I have a list, and most of the stages seem to be high contenders for the banhammer.
Battlefield- Starter due to simple design.
Final Destination- Starter due to simple design.
3D Land- Banned for scrolling and extreme hazards.
Golden Plains- Banned for scrolling, walk-offs, and having a distracting element.
Paper Mario- Banned for having extreme hazards.
Rainbow Road- Banned for unpredictable terrain changes and extreme hazards.
Mushroomy Kingdom- Banned for scrolling, walk-offs, and large amount of obstacles that can stop KOs and lead to camping.
Jungle Japes- Banned for water rapids and Klaptraps.
Gerudo Valley- Banned for extreme hazards and walk-offs.
Spirit Train- Banned for scrolling and extreme hazards.
Yoshi's Island- Counterpick due to Support Ghosts and Fly Guys that can stop projectiles.
Brinstar- Banned for acid and breakable parts of the stage.
Unova Pokémon League- Banned for extreme hazards and random platform appearances.
Prism Tower- Despite having changing terrain and walk-offs in the first phase, the stage itself follows a set pattern and has no major hazards. I would consider it a counterpick.
Corneria- Banned due to extreme hazards, promotes camping, and large size.
Mute City- Banned for track that damages upon contact and interchanging F-Zero machines.
Arena Ferox- Counterpick due to random platform changes and some forms promoting camping and blocking projectiles.
Tortimer Island- Banned due to random layout each time and the shark. It may end up becoming a counterpick due to its mostly simple nature, but chances are low.
Dream Land- Banned due to scrolling, random terrain changes, walk-offs, blind spots on the edges of the stage, and promotion of camping in some sections.
Reset Bomb Forest- Banned due to breakable parts, promotion of camping, and extreme hazards during the second half.
WarioWare Inc.- Banned due to extreme hazards and having a distracting element.
Distant Planet- Banned for extreme hazards and walk-off to the left of the stage.
Boxing Ring- Banned due to falling lights and walk-offs.
Magicant- Banned for Flying Men and random platform appearances.
Living Room- Banned due to falling blocks, random platform changes, and walk-offs.
Tomodachi Life- Banned due to blind spots and large amount of platforms.
Pictochat 2- Banned due to extreme hazards and random platform changes.
Find Mii- Banned due to the Dark Emperor and swinging cage.

Flat Zone 2- Banned due to random terrain changes and extreme hazards.
Gaur Plains- Banned due to massive size and walk-offs.
Wily Castle- Banned for Yellow Devil and random platform appearances.
Green Hill Zone- Banned for checkpoints, collapsing ground, slope, and walk-offs.
