''Game & Watch'' games use an LCD screen, the same type on 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 moved, a beep sound could 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 | The default stage layout 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'' | 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 could be taken to people who needed their cars filled; and ''Chef'' involves a chef trying to keep several pieces of food in the air. | ||

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).

It is the only Game & Watch game that is not part of Mr. Game & Watch's [[special move]]s, instead it is part of one of his tilt attacks.

*In English, the top of the Game | *In English, the top of the Game and Watch says, "Super Smash Bros." In the Japanese version, it says "Smash Brothers."
