SamusAran78 (sometimes referred to as Samus1978) was one of the original character and stage creators of M.U.G.E.N, producing content for the engine as far back as the year 2000; while other creators focused mostly on characters he was the first of the creators to soley produce backgrounds at a time when stage creation wasn't a commonplace. While always trying to push the M.U.G.E.N engine's stage capabilities, he also created the first bonus stage: a recreation of the car bonus from Street Fighter II.
