| '''Flat Zone 2''' ({{ja|フラットゾーン2|Furatto Zōn 2}}, ''Flat Zone 2'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{for3ds}}. It is the second [[Game & Watch]] stage in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the first being [[Flat Zone]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| A stage named [[Flat Zone X]] appears in {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which consists of Flat Zone 2 with the addition of a transformation based on [[Flat Zone]].
| | '''Flat Zone 2''' is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is the second [[Game & Watch]] stage in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the first being [[Superflat World: Flat Zone|Flat Zone]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Likewise, it is set on a standard Widescreen Game & Watch titled "Super Smash Bros." Unlike Flat Zone, however, this stage shifts between different Game and Watch scenarios, making it somewhat livelier than the original Flat Zone. |

| ==Stage layout== | | == Game Origins == |
| Like its predecessor, Flat Zone, it is set on a standard Widescreen Game & Watch titled "Super Smash Bros." Unlike Flat Zone, however, this stage shifts between different Game & Watch scenarios, with every change being signaled by the appearance of a specific element.
| | *[[Fire]] (1981 version): People jump out of a burning building as firemen with a trampoline attempt to catch them. The levels of the building can be stood on, and the trampoline that the firemen use can be bounced off of like a [[spring]]. When the firefighters aren't present, the randomly moving platforms from Manhole appear, similar to those in [[SSBM]]'s Flat Zone. The treasure diver from [[Octopus]] sometimes appears, collecting items lying on the ground. This scenario is the main area of the stage - the match always begins here and the other games have to revert back to Fire before the stage can change again. |
| | *[[Oil Panic]]'s bottom screen (1982): A multi-tiered gas station building can be stood on. Customers standing below attack if touched by players. |
| | *[[Lion]] (1981): The center of the stage is a three leveled cage. Two Lion Tamers holding chairs flank either side, moving up and down. If you get hit by a chair, you'll take massive damage and knockback, often right into the Lion Tamer at the other side of the cage and taking even more damage due to the direction of where the characters are knocked at. |
| | *[[Chef]] (1981): Two sets of platforms hover in midair, while falling food items can damage players. If the chef is hit with a strong enough attack, he will fly off screen and the game will return to Fire. |

| | *Although having no significant effect to gameplay whatsoever, it is worth noting that on this stage, all characters are two-dimensional. Strangely enough, certain effects are still three-dimensional; if you pause and change the camera angle, you will notice them sticking out of the Game & Watch LCD screen. Hanenbow is similarly 2-D. |

| The Ω form features a brick platform above the normal ground, and blast lines are moved further back. The stage is set in the ''Oil Panic'' section and does not transition. It is visually identical to the Ω form of Flat Zone X in {{forwiiu}}.

| ==Origin==
| |
| [[File:Game & Watch Fire.jpg|thumb|left|The ''Game & Watch'' game ''Fire'' (widescreen version)]]
| |
| From 1980 to 1991, [[Nintendo]] produced handheld electronic games called ''Game & Watch'', and there would be one game for each model of a ''Game & Watch''. ''Game & Watch'' games use an LCD screen, the same type as an ordinary calculator, which means characters and other moving objects can only move to pre-determined locations on the screen and everything appears flat. Whenever objects move, a beeping sound can be heard. In this stage, the fighters and stage elements on the screen are all flat, and beeping sounds are heard when walking on the stage.
| |
| | |
| The default stage layout, including the ''Game & Watch'' outer casing, is based on the widescreen 1981 re-release of ''Fire'', which originally came out in 1980 as part of the Silver ''Game & Watch'' series. In ''Fire'', two firemen holding a stretcher try to bounce people jumping out of a burning skyscraper to a nearby ambulance. ''Fire'' was also the only ''Game & Watch'' device from the "Widescreen" series to have a blue outline.
| |
| | |
| The other stage transformations are based off of the ''Game & Watch'' games ''Lion'', ''Oil Panic'', and ''Chef''. ''Lion'' involves two lion tamers trying to keep multiple circus lions in their cage with chairs; ''Oil Panic'' involves a gas station employee trying to dump oil into his boss's oil drum below, so it can be taken to people who needed their cars filled; and ''Chef'' involves a chef trying to keep several pieces of food in the air. All of these games are faithfully represented in Flat Zone 2, though in the case of ''Oil Panic'' (which had a dual screen à la the Nintendo DS and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]]), only the bottom screen appears.

| |
| | |
| ==Tournament legality==
| |
| Like its predecessor, Flat Zone 2 is banned in competitive play, due to the variety of damaging hazards (such as the falling food items in the Chef scenario), the small size of the stage, the [[camera]]'s refusal to zoom in at any point, the constantly changing stage setup, and the removal of the lower [[blast line]] (which makes techniques that require it, such as [[meteor smash]]es and [[edge-hogging]], virtually useless). Furthermore, the walk-off edges allow characters to [[throw]] or [[inhale|spit]] others off the side blast lines.

| [[File:Mr. Game & Watch Congratulations Screen All-Star Brawl.png|thumb|right|250px|Flat Zone 2 as it appears on the All Star congratulations screen, with the text on the top reading "Smash Brothers".]]
| |
| *On this stage all characters are two-dimensional (or rather, their three-dimensional models are flattened). Strangely enough, certain effects are still three-dimensional.
| |
| **The Super Mario Maker and [[Hanenbow]] stages also have this trait.
| |
| *Whenever a player gets [[Star KO|Star KO'd]] or [[Screen KO|Screen KO'd]], both the character and the effects fly off separately. This can be best seen from {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s beacon, the flame on {{SSBB|Charizard}}'s tail, and when the player is [[frozen]]. This also happens in [[Hanenbow]].
| |
| **A similar effect appears when characters are Screen KO'd on this stage in {{for3ds}}, the Screen KO'd character's shadow appears under them as they fall to the bottom of the screen. This allows for the player to see the Screen KO animation in it's entirety, though this can't be replicated in {{forwiiu}}'s Flat Zone X due to the stage disabling Screen KOs for unknown reasons. | |
| *This stage, [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], [[Rumble Falls]], and [[Mario Bros.]] are the only "fixed camera" stages in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. | |
| *The firefighters with the stretcher are actually playing the game Fire with the G&W people in the background. However, three misses will not give a game over in this case. | | *The firefighters with the stretcher are actually playing the game Fire with the G&W people in the background.

| *''Lion'' is generally considered to be the odd one out. It is the only Game & Watch game that is not part of Mr. Game & Watch's [[special move]]s, instead being part of one of his tilt attacks. As well as that, it is the only game that did not use the "Left - Right" button configuration that is on the Flat Zone 2 system. | | *Lion is generally considered to be the odd one out.

| *In English, the top of the Game & Watch says, "Super Smash Bros." In the Japanese version, it says "Smash Brothers." This is because in Japan, the series is called "Great Fray Smash Brothers" rather than "Super Smash Bros." This is also noticeable in {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[All-Star Mode]] [[congratulations screen]] in ''Brawl'', and on the stage select icon in ''for Nintendo 3DS''. | | *In English, the top of the Game and Watch says, "Super Smash Bros." In the Japanese version, it says "Smash Brothers." |
| *In [[All Star]] mode, when battling Mr. Game & Watch, a player can simply run to the left side on the building part and crouch. The CPU Mr. Game & Watch will go to the second floor of the building, go left and right for a while, and suddenly [[self-destruct]].
| |
| *This stage can be seen prior to its unlocking in a clip of {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}'s Congratulations video in ''Brawl''.
| |
| *''Lion'' and ''Oil Panic'' were never a part of the Widescreen series of ''Game & Watch'' games, despite their appearance on the stage. In fact, ''Oil Panic'' was a part of the Dual-Screen series, so there is an entire screen missing from the stage.
| |
| *Unlike the original Widescreen devices, the device that surrounds ''Flat Zone 2'' doesn't say "Nintendo" beneath the ''Game & Watch'' logo on the left.
| |
| *In ''for Nintendo 3DS'', the [[List of challenges (SSB4-3DS)|challenge]] that unlocks Flat Zone 2 is the only challenge that unlocks a stage not to be in the first panel, which requires all the challenges on the first panel to be completed before it can be accessed; this makes Flat Zone 2 always the last stage to be unlocked in the game.
| |
| *This is the only [[unlockable stage]] in ''Brawl'' to not appear in ''[[Ultimate]]''.
| |
| **Additionally, it is the only stage that has ever appeared as a [[Past Stage]] to not appear in ''Ultimate''.
| |
| ***However, it does still technically return, as [[Flat Zone X]], a combination of this stage and [[Flat Zone]], returns from ''for Wii U''. This would also make Flat Zone 2 the only non-DLC Past Stage to appear in both versions of ''Smash 4.''
