Flat Zone 2 This stage is 2-D, and for some reason everyone becomes two-dimensional when they fight here. It makes sense—this IS a Game & Watch. So what is Game & Watch, exactly? Well, the Game & Watch series was made up of handheld electronic games that Nintendo began releasing in 1980. Over 12 million were sold in Japan alone, creating a huge boom. New games in the series continued to be released even after the Super NES was launched in 1991.
And this is the odd stage we built based on the old Game & Watch designs. If you look closely, you can see that the characters have become 2-D. Basically, this part is modeled after the Game & Watch "Fire" game. If you land on the rescue team’s blanket, you can make big jumps like it was a trampoline. Boing! Ahhh... Is bouncing a good thing? Or just inconvenient?
Over time, the stage will change. Amidst the plethora of Game & Watch games, what could appear?
"Oil Panic," perhaps? Or "Lion." To the left and right are the lion tamers. Even "Chef!" The chef can launch characters. There’s all sorts of stuff in here that leaves the youngsters behind. This game really has no scruples at all, does it? Sorry! |

This is sooo much better than the original Flat Zone stage in melee - there's so much more going on (plus, no more tools raining down from above).

I like the fact that this stage is now based on Fire, perhaps the most recognised Game & Watch. Although I also think it's just too bad for the lack of any Multiscreen and Panorama references.

Heh, this looks to be more fun than Melee's Flat Zone. Another stage for me to look forward to.

But it was fun slamming those tools into other people..
Maybe you can do the same with the chef's junk. One of you Americans check this out please.

Yes, I'm looking forward to playing Flat Zone 2. It has a very cool design.

Once again Luigi makes a hilarious appearance  Flatzone 2 looks pretty cool, but I don't think it will be one of my regular stage selections. Mainly because I didn't like the Melee Flatzone and the way you couldn't zoom in the picture. Still, it looks very nice... |

I was hoping the Game & Watch stage would alternate like this.
