Ultimate]]''. Essentially, it is [[Flat Zone 2]] with the addition of one more possible transformation: the layout of [[Flat Zone]], based on ''Helmet''. The ''Helmet'' layout is unchanged from its appearance in Flat Zone in ''[[Melee]]''; the other layouts are unchanged from Flat Zone 2 in ''[[Brawl]]''. In ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch is fought here when being unlocked. | ||

As Flat Zone X is a composite of Flat Zone and Flat Zone 2, all areas from both stages appear. These include ''Fire'', ''Oil Panic'', ''Lion'', and ''Chef'' from Flat Zone 2 and ''Helmet'' from Flat Zone. While most of these transformations are unchanged from prior installments, a construction worker now appears in the top right corner of ''Helmet'' to signify a stage change in a similar manner to the other transformations from Flat Zone 2. Also, falling tools can no longer OHKO upon being hit by a powerful attack | As Flat Zone X is a composite of Flat Zone and Flat Zone 2, all areas from both stages appear.

[[Star KO]]'d characters are now covered by the gas station in Oil Panic. Additionally, in ''Ultimate'', the stage's notoriously close blast zones were moved outwards somewhat, reducing the likelihood of extremely early KOs, especially off the upper blast zone. | [[Star KO]]'d characters are now covered by the gas station in Oil Panic.

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. | 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''.

This stage is based on a combination of [[Flat Zone]] from ''Melee'', which is primarily based on the ''Game & Watch'' game ''Helmet'', and [[Flat Zone 2]] from ''Brawl'', which is based on ''Fire'', ''Lion'', ''Oil Panic'', and ''Chef''. Notably, this stage is based on the widescreen versions of these games with the exception of ''Oil Panic'', which was never released in a widescreen format. | This stage is based on a combination of [[Flat Zone]] from ''Melee'', which is primarily based on the ''Game & Watch'' game ''Helmet'', and [[Flat Zone 2]] from ''Brawl'', which is based on ''Fire'', ''Lion'', ''Oil Panic'', and ''Chef''.

As with its predecessors, Flat Zone X 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 smashes virtually useless). Furthermore, the walk-off edges allow characters to throw or spit others off the side blast lines | As with its predecessors, Flat Zone X 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 smashes virtually useless).
