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. | 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).

This stage layout is based off the "Widescreen" re-release of ''[[Fire]]'' for the ''[[Game & Watch]]'' handheld gaming devices, first released in 1981, but the original model for ''Fire'' was released in 1980 as part of the "Silver" series. The only indication of which game the device that surrounds the stage supports is the blue outline, as ''Fire'' was the only Game & Watch device from the "Widescreen" series to have a blue outline. The stage transformations are based off of the ''Fire'', ''[[Lion]]'', ''[[Oil Panic]]'', and ''[[Chef]]'' models of ''Game & Watch'' devices. The platforms that periodically change positions during the ''Fire'' and ''Chef'' stage elements are based off of the ''[[Manhole]]'' ''Game & Watch'' device. | |||

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. | **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.
