Editing Shadow Generations/StageData Parameters

This page documents all the parameters for stages in the stagedata.lua file. You can find this file at '''"raw\script\script_resident.pac"''' Some documentation also comes from the lua file itself, since there is some already provided. There are also a considerable amount of leftovers from [[Sonic Frontiers]].
