'''PictoChat 2''' ({{ja|ピクトチャット2|Pikutochatto 2}}, ''PictoChat 2'') is a stage in {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' based on the PictoChat software for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It retains the same general layout as the [[PictoChat|previous PictoChat stage]], but has different drawings (with rivaling variety), each with different effects on gameplay. Two of the drawings include [[Pac-Man]]-like shapes that move around the screen (based on ''Pac-Pix'') and a street, which is designed to look like it has depth. {{SSB4|R.O.B.}} is fought here when he is being unlocked.

|A stage-wide line appears above the main platform, with part of the sun visible. Over time, the sun will slowly secede into the horizon. There are two lines representing birds that can be used as very small platforms. The sun itself and the stage-wide line can also be used as platforms.

|Gusty Gus 2
|Gusty Gus will cover the entirety of the main platform and can be walked on, though players who happened to be standing on it can jump up onto his face. This time, Gusty Gus will blow upward, any player in range being sent up a fair distance. By using attacks, the wind can be used to pull opponents above the top blast line at low percentages for a KO.

|A layout loosely based on [[mariowiki:25m|the first stage]] of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' appears, with the titular character throwing barrels down the stage. The barrels can either fall off the edge of a platform, or roll down. Both the Donkey Kong sketch and barrels deal moderate knockback and damage to players they touch.

PAC-MAN makes an appearance on the PictoChat 2 stage. We've included this as an element from Pac-Pix, which was released in 2005. It was quite revolutionary. }}</ref>
|Drawings of [[Pac-Man]] in his ball form appear and move around the stage, damaging players on contact. The drawings deal vertical knockback and can KO at high percents, especially if hit near the top blast line. Based on the game of the same name.

As with the first PictoChat stage, this stage is based on PictoChat, which is a communication system that is built into the Nintendo DS. Players can either type or draw a message to their friends with the stylus. PictoChat contains four chat rooms, labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D". It was originally only accessible from the handheld's main menu and only supported local connections; however, some games, such as ''42 All-Time Classics'', integrated PictoChat into the interface with online connectivity.

The stage itself is an amalgamation of the top and bottom screen of PictoChat: the top screen is where the notification bar and sent messages are displayed, while the bottom screen is where the user would draw or type messages. The notification bar appears as the main platform of the stage, and the bottom screen serves as the basis of the stage's background. PictoChat 2 is always set in room "A". When starting a match, the jingle heard when somebody joins a room is played, and the notification bar displays the name of a character in the same manner that PictoChat did.

In ''Pac-Pix'', an early Nintendo DS title, Pac-Man is teleported into a book by a group of evil ink [[Ghosts]] - the player, using their "Magic Pen", must draw Pac-Man shapes, and they will go in a straight line from where their mouth is drawn and eat any ghosts in their path. The player can redirect them by dragging them or drawing walls.

==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
This stage is banned in tournaments due to the disruptive nature of the drawings, which can significantly affect gameplay. In ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate'' with stage hazards turned off there are no drawings, turning it into a Final Destination clone, which has caused it to be banned so far due to being too similar.
