This is the Sky Sanctuary Zone, the setting of one of the later levels in Sonic & Knuckles.

The stage is modeled after various pieces of the original Sky Sanctuary Zone; it’s a small palace that gently floats in the air.

Those floating clouds aren’t just for show, as you can bounce off of them! The top platform also moves up and down slowly… maybe you can time these two right to pull off a nice attack?

Fans of the Sonic series may remember Sky Sanctuary as a stage in which literally everything fell apart, from beginning to end. We tried to recreate this in various spots on the stage:

This stage has something for everyone.

It’s the pitfall! Fans of Animal Crossing and Super Smash Bros Brawl will surely recognize this item.

Behold, a sphere!

First appearing in the Animal Crossing games, the pitfall was an item that you could use to pester the villages with. You could throw it, and unlucky souls who would cross it’s resting place, would become burried in the ground for a while. A very funny item at that. Here in Super Smash Flash 2 it does the exact same thing: Pick it up, throw it, and it will embed itself into the ground.

Where did it go? It’s gone without a trace!

The pitfall will dissappear, so it’s hard to remember the spot where it landed. Of course, this makes it all the more fun if you happen to be in bad luck and run across it.

Eek!

Characters who are trapped can’t move for a while. You could attack your opponents during this.

But of course, it would be more fun….

Hello? Anyone? .. Help…

.. to fool around with it. All in all, this is an item that will surely add a healthy dose of fun to each battle.

Welcome to Fourside, the ‘Big Banana’ of Earthbound!

A primary feature of this stage seems to be the gaps between the buildings. If you’re not careful, you could get meteor smashed down there!

The crane on the left part of the stage moves its load back and forth.

Also, one of the Starman UFOs will come by acting as a slippery platform above the stage. It will leave shortly after arriving, however…

Fox McCloud, leader of the commando-for-hire unit Star Fox, returns to Super Smash Flash 2!

Packed with a plethora of gadgets and quick maneuvers, Fox is ready to deal with any kind of enemy on the battlefield. Return to base after the battle is over!

Many special moves, in addition to being unique, are also chargable!

If you release it before it’s fully charged, it will be fairly weak and not too special.

But, if you wait until you’re fully charged?

There are a few things to note about these kinds of attacks:

If you press left or right while charging, you’ll cancel it into a roll. You’ll keep any charge you had accumulated, too.

Once you’re fully charged, there will be an indicator present on your character.

And not all characters can cancel their chargable specials. These attacks must be performed immediately at full charge.

Try out all of the characters! There are plenty of these types of moves to have fun with.

“Animal Crossing: DJ K.K.” (1:05)

Composers: Kazumi Totaka
Arranger: Carlos Alvarado (194)

Every Saturday night, after finishing your work, you go to the Roost to listen to this free-minded musician dog, to enjoy a
good piece of music, and have some fun over coffee.

And now, once you open this game, you will be able to listen to him, completely free! As he has always wished to. This time,
in a dance groove, so you can get pumped for your matches and have even more fun!

Where can you find this? We won’t tell you. You’ll just have to wait and see!

“Kirby: Rainbow Route” (1:08)

Composers: Hironobu Inagaki & Atsuyoshi Isemura
Arranger: BlueComet

• Copyrights for this song are held by Nintendo.
• Check your volume settings.

Every Kirby game starts out with a nice frolic through some greenery. Whether you’re going through a spring breeze or a rainbow route, a song like this sets the scene perfectly.

It just feels like ‘Kirby’, doesn’t it?

Wario comes to super Smash Flash 2! Eew, what’s that stench?

Despite his bulky appeareance, Wario gets around oddly quick. He fights opponents with his wacky attacks.

The Freezie appears! In the game Mario Bros., it was one of Mario’s coolest foes. Here, it’s a throwing item!

You pick it up and throw it, like other throwing items.

Unlike other objects, though, if you don’t pick up the Freezie, it slides along the ground.

Get it quick, or it’ll slip right off the edge.

Another thing that sets the Freezie apart from ordinary items is its…well…freezing properties. If you hit an opponent with it…

K-ching! They’re frozen and unable to do anything while frozen.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to hit your enemies while they’re helpless?

The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom joins Super Smash Flash 2. Woah, she fights in a dress?

Using her floaty properties, Peach can be pretty hard to keep off of the stage.

Meteor smash? What’s a meteor smash?

Simply put, it’s an attack that knocks your opponent straight downward. Often it’ll be your down aerial attack, or another move used in air.

Throw or smash your opponent off the edge of the stage…

…then use your meteor smash!

As you can see, these make great moves for KOing your foes.

Often, you can recover, but your opponent can’t.

Try different meteor smashes out, and experiment to see which ones work best!

Grass Land in all its glory!

A glorification of Super Mario Bros. 3, this stage takes elements from a variety of parts of that game!

A breeze seems to blow as nostalgia pours over you.

Even the background is cut off near the boundaries here!

There are a few special blocks placed around that can aid you in victory.

? blocks let items out when hit.

Note blocks bounce you up when you land on them.

However, danger lurks in the Mushroom Kingdom. When the four tones play, you know what’s going to happen…

The hammer bro!

He just keeps throwing hammers!

However, a stage such as this doesn’t come without a price – Mushroom Kingdom II will not be appearing in the final game. We are sorry that this had to be, but we hope that this stage will make it up to all the fans.

All other content on the Smash Flash Dojo will not be removed from the game.

It’s a Metroid! These artificial life forms feed on the Life Energy of their prey. It returns as an Assist Trophy from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and as such, anyone who played that game will be familar with the effect of the Metroids.

It looks scary…

For those who haven’t played Super Smash Bros. Brawl, let me explain what the Metroids do after you release them from an Assist Trophy: First, they’ll start to fly around, and when they see their prey…

Gaah! Get it off me!

It will attach to him or her, and start consuming his or her life energy. In Super Smash Flash 2 this will be represented by a rising damage percentage. Do remember that Metroids are dangerous, once they’ve got you in their sight, you better start running!

Welcome to Yoshi’s Island!

You get a nice birds-eye view of the whole island from the clouds.

The key feature of this stage seems to be the wheel in the center. It has four platforms and rotates.

Spinning round and round…

These side platforms make good distractions from the center action.

In addition, Goonies sometimes fly by for a visit! You can hitch a ride on them, as well.

However, they will start to fall if you stand on them too long.

Meta Knight makes his return to Super Smash Flash 2! This mysterious masked man is said to be Dreamland’s guardian.

Meta Knight stands firmly on the field of battle, such grace is expected from a swordsman. Use his unique equipement to battle your foes!

We’re back!

Though you won’t see as many regular updates, expect to see at least a few each month. That’s better than before, at least. It should be enough to keep everyone excited about the game.

Good times are up ahead…

Your testimony just now… It was all just one giant lie! And your lie has proven one very clear thing… That there is more content to be shown!

This looks like an ordinary item, right?

However, this is what is known as a Trigger Item. When you pick it up…

OBJECTION!

…and you’re sent flying. It certainly adds an extra element into the match. Is this item really going to help me? Or could it be a trigger? You’ll never know until you pick it up.

Also, that might not be the only trigger to occur…

Agh! I can’t move!

Sorry everyone, but with the school year, we haven’t made much progress in anything. Most of what is left to put up on the Dojo isn’t completed, so you’ll just have to wait.

We may have some updates on special occasions in the meantime, but don’t expect constant updates for a while.

There will be another update when the hiatus ends.

Light Yagami appears in battle! He wields the Death Note, a powerful notebook that brings death to anyone whose name is written inside.

I see he brought Misa with him…

Misa will seek out any nearby opponents, and Light will write their names in the Death Note.

W-what’s this?

That counter shows how many seconds you have left. And at the moment it drops to 0…

BAM! Instant KO.

But don’t panic, if you can stay out of Misa’s sight, Light won’t be able to write your name.

Where did everyone go?

I think the title pretty much explains it all.

I promise this site will NEVER break again. *knocks on wood*

Now that it’s fixed, I have some new design plans for the site. Stick around and find out soon enough.

“Metroid: Vs. Ridley” (0:44)

Composers: Kenji Yamamoto & Minako Hamano
Arranger: Metroid Metal

• Copyrights for this song are held by Nintendo.
• Check your volume settings.

This song always seems to appear in the Metroid games. And it’s there for a good reason – this is the theme of Ridley, the primary villain and Samus’ arch-nemesis.

The song itself is simply heavy metal, all the time. Intense, just like the battles that take place when the music goes on. It makes even more sense when you think about what Ridley becomes in the Metroid Prime games.

I wonder where this could show up in the game…

Proto Man, Mega Man’s older brother, appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Flash 2!

Before Proto Man appears, a very familiar whistle will play…

Once he’s on the battlefield, he’ll start ramming opponents with his shield.

And of course, Proto Man will also fire his Arm Cannon every now and then.

Take this!

He can even fire while in the air.

Occasionally, Proto Man will also use the strongest attack in his arsenal:

BIG BANG BLAST!

It takes a second to shoot, but it can pack quite a punch!

But do remember that, even though Proto Man is a strong ally, his possibilities are not endless. Proto Man will only attack in a small area of the stage, following a pattern. Maybe you could try to keep your foes in that area?

Nuhahahaha! The name’s Wily! The one and only — the brilliant scientist, Dr. Wily!

I’ve got you now, Wily!

Dr. Albert Wily is the main boss of one of the many Adventure Mode stages, appearing in his famous Wily Capsule. He is unique as a boss in that, most of the time, he is impossible to hit!

Wait, what? He was just here a second ago!

His capsule fades in and out, and he appears at just the right time for him to strike! It really makes him a pain to fight.

Agh! You won’t get away with this!

Each time Wily reappears, he launches one of the many moves his machine carries, then promptly vanishes once again. Each of the abilities were taken from the numerous old versions of the Wily Capsule!

Those spiraling energy balls! I remember those!

An electric bolt that splits on the ground!

But, by far his nastiest trick is one borrowed from Mega Man 7 – a quartet of homing elemental sparks! You’ll only see this on the higher difficulties, however.

No… he wouldn’t…

Once you finally take him down, he’ll go to plan B, as always.

W-wait a minute! I promise to be good! I’m a changed man!

… yeah right, Dr. Wily.

As an item that has appeared in every Smash game to date, the Ray Gun returns to Flash!

That thing almost looks like a toy…

The Ray Gun is a very simple item.

It shoots small rays of light, as its name implies.

Unfortunately, it is limited to 15 shots.

They don’t send opponents flying, but they can do a bit of damage.

Once it’s out of ammo, the only thing you can really do is throw it. But if you aren’t wary, you could find yourself in trouble.

Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me…

Today, we are going to take a look at one of the game modes of Super Smash Flash 2: Coin Match!

Coins appeared!

In Coin Match the objective is to collect as many coins as you can. These coins can be obtained by beating up your opponents. The fighter with the most coins at the end of the match will be the winner.

I’m rich!

Coin Match is not very hard to understand, as it is not a very complex mode, but is it fun none the less. There is nothing better to know that you did not only win the match, but that you are also richer then the other contestants.

I came to collect my debt!

Just remember that money is not everything, okay?

It’s the galaxy that’s half cold and half hot – the Freezeflame Galaxy!

Ice… ice everywhere!

I-it’s so cold!

The layout of this stage isn’t too complex. It has two platforms on the side, a big one in the middle, and a small one right above that. But don’t let its simplicity fool you! Naturally, since this stage is mostly made of ice, it is pretty slippery.

If you don’t watch out, you could fall off.

The center platform also has a gap in the middle.

It’s perfect for meteor smashing someone through!

The freeze in the middle surrounded by the flame on the sides… That is what this level was all about – the joining of the two.

Starfy, the creature neither a star or starfish, comes to Flash as an Assist Trophy!

Once summoned, he slowly starts harmlessly walking around.

…you’re kidding, right?

However, once he gets close enough to someone…

Star Spin!

Starfy will start spinning multiple times, damaging anyone near him.

He can still be attacked, though.

Although Starfy isn’t exactly “strong”, he can still be a useful ally. His spins can sometimes carry opponents off the edge!

It’s Yoshi! This happy-go-lucky creature comes from Yoshi’s Island.

Make use of his majestic Flutter Jump and egg-citing attacks on the battlefield. Yoshi looks like he is having a lot of fun!

Straight from the Mario series, Koopa Shells appear as items!

The most basic shell is the Green Shell. When thrown or jumped on, it’ll slide across platforms and bounce off walls until it falls off the stage.

This thing packs quite a punch!

The original Super Smash Bros. and its sequal contained the Red Shell as well. They home in on any character in the area, but only stay on the platform they landed on.

When a Red Shell is placed on a small platform, it can be quite a hazard!

The final type only appeared in the Mario Kart series – the Spiked Shell, otherwise known as the Blue Shell.

Oh no! It’s coming straight at me!

This shell will fly away when thrown, coming back in a short amount of time into the lead player! If you’re in the lead yourself, try to grab it, as it won’t target the thrower.

Each individual Koopa Shell has benefits and drawbacks; use each one wisely to finish off your foes.

It’s Tails! This little two-tailed fox joins the fun once more.

As you might expect from him, his airial actions are excellent. Attack foes from high up in the air!

We’ve already talked about the types of standard attacks a character can use. However, each character also has four different special moves!

If you don’t press any directions while pressing the special move button, you’ll perform a standard special move.

Normal special moves are often projectiles or strong, chargeable attacks and these are usually the calling card of the character. Also, note that if you use a normal special move with the Smash Ball, you’ll use your Final Smash.

Holding Left or Right while pushing the special move button results in a side special move

Many of these moves cause your character to dash forward. Some of these could come in very handy for horizontal recovery.

If Up and the special move button are pressed, you’ll do an up special.

Up special moves usually help you recover horizontally or vertically.

Lastly, pressing Down and the special move button will cause you to use a down special move.

The down special move is the most varied, it’s often a defensive attack but it can also be a move that changes your character’s other moves.

Of course, the examples given here aren’t always the case; every character’s moves are unique!

The possibilities are endless!

Henshin a Go-Go Baby! It’s Viewtiful Joe, and he swoops straight onto the set from Movie Land.

The star has arrived!

Viewtiful Joe is what we call an ‘Intelligent Assist Trophy‘.
This means that once you summon him, he will not attack immediately, or focus on using one attack.
He is free to run and jump around, and he even has his own mini-moveset!

Mach Speed!

Voomerang!

But that’s not everything! He still has quite a few tricks up his sleeves.
One thing is sure: Viewtiful Joe is one cool dude to have around!

And for such a little man, he sure packs a punch.

Casino Night Zone was the fourth zone Sonic went to in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
This shining Casino City appears just like it did back in the 90′s.

It’s pretty colorful.

Wowww, my head’s spinning!

This stage is made up of a big platform in the middle, along with two small ones on the sides.
However, there’s more to this stage that just that.

You could get knocked into a bumper and get sent flying!

There’s even a moving bumper that goes around at the bottom of the stage.

Perhaps you could use it to help you recover…?

All in all, we hope that this stage brings back some treasured memories from your adventures with Sonic and Tails. That’s really what this stage was meant for.

Coming from Bleach, this is Renji Abarai, the lieutenant of the
6th Division in the Gotei 13 under Captain Byakuya Kuchiki.

I got you, Renji!

Once summoned, Renji will start chasing down opponents, delivering
a quick, three-slash combo once he gets close enough.

Take that!

He can attack in midair, too.

After a short while of being on the battlefield, Renji will unleash his ultimate attack:

Bankai: Hihiō Zabimaru!

In this form, Renji concentrates his spirit energy and the power
of his Zanpakutō Zabimaru to transform him into a massive version
of its Shikai form resembling a skeletal snake. The snake head
then quickly rushes forward, damaging any opponents in the way.

Look at that amazing range, too!

Promptly after using this move, Renji disappears.

Until next time…

It’s Central Highway, the first stage that appears in Mega Man X!
Wrecked cars can be seen on the stage’s broken platforms.

You can see the big city in the background.

Central Highway is pretty basic. It consists only of
three tall platforms that you battle on.

Don’t fall down the gaps, though!

A meteor smash could cost you.

However, you won’t exactly be by yourselves the whole time…

Hey, look! It’s a Bee Blader!

Every time you come here, you’re bound to have a great match.

Whoa! Heads up!

Black Mage, one of the Warriors of Light, unexpectedly joins the fray!

Join him on his journey in Super Smash Flash 2. Use his unique moveset and devastating magic to knock your foes down!

Goku trains quite a lot for his fights. Arguably, he works harder outside of his battles than during them. This song seems to be an embodiment of that training regime, ever getting stronger.

This song was featured in Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Of course, it will play on Planet Namek.

It’s Pac-Man! He takes on a retro design, hailing back from the arcades!

The familiar tune starts him off.

What makes this guy unique is that you can actually control him! He’ll follow what direction you press, allowing you to direct him at your foe. Watch yourself, though, as you’re still moving!

Follow me!

When Pac-Man finally reaches your opponent…

CHOMP!

They get sent flying! Direct him well, and he will be a valuable ally.

It’s Namek! The location of many intense battles, and the start of the Dragon Ball Z series.

This really takes me back.

Rocky formations rising from the water, and a sun glowing brightly in the sky.

It’s a great view.

The water isn’t just eye candy, though. If you don’t tread carefully, it could bring about your doom.

Careful, Naruto!

Looks like the lake has claimed another life…

…Or so you’d think. It’s not all over when you hit the water though. It’s completely possible to swim and jump out!

Come on Ness, get out of there!

But that’s not all on this epic stage! If you wait long enough, you may see a few familiar faces.

Piccolo cautiously and quietly observes the battle from start to finish.

It’s Trunks! And Teen Gohan!

Naruto Uzumaki is back, but this time he dons his Naruto: Shippuden outfit! Check it out.

Not just his outfit is different, but Naruto also goes full out with his signature jutsu attacks and ninja weaponry this time around. Summon clones, throw shuriken and move at high speeds, for such is the nature of a true ninja from Konoha!

Once you’re in the air, you can corner your opponents and finish them off. How to do this, you ask? Let’s take a look.

Can’t escape me!

There are many different kinds of aerial attacks. The Multi Hit;
Rack up damage!

The single strong hit;
Get away from me!

And of course, the Meteor Smash!
Insta-KO!

All characters have different aerial attack types, that do different things.  Try finding a character that suits the way you like to play.

Party until dawn with Amigo! When he shows up, everything around him just seems to get into the groove he brings.

Every character other than the summoner is forced to dance (In this game, taunt) continuously until Amigo leaves. But why wouldn’t you? Even the cacti are dancing!

Of course, Amigo wouldn’t be complete without his signature song!

“Samba De Amigo: Samba De Janeiro” (0:15)

He’s round, cute and pink; Kirby from the Stars comes back to Super Smash Flash 2!

He has an unique ability that allows him to copy the power of his opponents. Use the power of your enemies against them!

The psychic youth from EarthBound makes his entry. It’s Ness!

In addition to his oh-so-famous Baseball Bat, Ness is also gifted with psychokinesis, pyrokinesis and other PSI abilities. Use them wisely!

Samus Aran reporting for duty! She comes from the Metroid games.

Her Power Suit comes with a variety of special abilities, including the well-known Power Beam and the Morph Ball. Use these to win the battle!

Throughout the Star Fox series, team Star Fox travels through space to take on various enemies, most of them controlled by the evil Andross.

This song first appeared in Star Fox 64, and has appeared in many games since. This particular version comes from the original Super Smash Bros.! It does sound pretty heroic.

It’s Brawl Mode!

Brawl Mode is one of the primary modes found in Super Smash Flash 2. It allows you to enjoy all kinds of different fights, with all kinds of different characters, on all kind of different stages!

There is indeed lots of diversity!

But now you ask: “How do I play this mode?” Good question, allow me to explain:

After you’ve selected your character and your field of battle, a countdown will start. Once it reaches 3, you’re ready to go and pummel your opponent.

You can freely move around with your character, and perform all kinds of attacks (character-specific ‘Special Moves’ and regular attacks, both explained on this DOJO!! too).

The main objective of Brawl Mode is, too put it simple, knock your opponents out of the screen. How you do this is totally up to you.

When someone get’s K.O’d he or she will lose a stock.

And of course: A flashy effect

Stocks are everything in Brawl Mode. Once a fighter is out of stocks, he or she can no longer fight. The last fighter to stand wins, so be sure to save your stock!

But of course, the real main objective of Brawl mode is…

.. to have fun. Lots of fun

That’s Brawl Mode in a nutshell. Oh! And one last thing I should mention: For Brawl Mode there is a team option, simply press the ‘Team Battle’ icon on top of the screen and assemble your own teams. You have the Red Team, the Green Team and the Blue Team. When a character gets assigned to one of the teams, he or she will be tinted in the said colour too!

Have fun colouring around!

Lloyd Irving, hero of Tales of Symphonia, makes his return to Super Smash Flash 2! he fights using his two swords.

Utilizing special moves learned throughout Tales of Symphonia, Lloyd is a real threat on the battlefield! Use his versatile abilities to dominate the stage.

Like in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you will be able to perform three different taunts!

You can choose which taunt you perform by the direction buttons – Up and Down do the same taunt, Left and Right do another taunt, and if you don’t press any direction, you’ll do yet another! There is a large variety for you to enjoy.

There are plenty of ways to torment your opponent. Be sure to have fun with them.

“Kingdom Hearts: Sinister Sundown” (0:34)

Throughout the Kingdom Hearts series, the player confronts countless creatures. There were 3 primary types – Heartless, Nobodies, and the Unversed. This theme played when battling against Nobodies in Twilight Town.

It’s the perfect song when taking down hordes of opponents. This will play on Twilight Town.

The chosen wielder of the Keyblade makes his entrance; It’s Sora from Kingdom Hearts!

Using combos with the Keyblade and a variety of magical abilities, Sora has many ways to defeat his opponent. Think creative!

This is the first real stage from Super Mario Galaxy - the Good Egg Galaxy!

There’s nothing unusual here, so it’s just a standard brawl. Of course, there is that house in the middle. Perhaps it could be used to your advantage?

One key feature in Super Mario Galaxy was the gravity. That is, every planet had its own gravity. However, this will not be applied for this game.

This is just one of the many locations in Galaxy Tours. No matter what changes happen, just go with it and have fun!

These are the adorable creatures that reside in Saturn Valley – the Mr. Saturns!

They’ll walk around on their own, but you can pick them up and toss them around!

The biggest strength of them, however, is their ability to break shields. A couple hits with them and that shield will break!

But overall, they’re just fun to have around. They seem to hop to the beat occasionally, too.

The Blue Bomber makes his appeareance! Rocking his classic blue attire, Mega Man feels fresh and new.

He fights his opponent packed with firepower. Use a large range of weapons to combat your foes!

The capsule, probably one of the most common items found in Super Smash Flash 2. While it may not be as flashy as the other items, it’s certainly useful!

Protect me, capsule!

It’s main purpose is to supply you with even more items. Throw it around to break it and reveal the treasure inside. Sometimes, it might explode though!

Pretty fireworks…

But most of the time, it will just release an item. So when you see a capsule, be sure to grab it! The items inside might vary from Beam Swords to Smash Balls.

It’s all mine!

Grabbing is a cool move you can whip out in the middle of combat. You can either press the standard attack button while shielding, or simply press the grab button to grab!

While they are in your possession, you can press the attack button again to give him or her a good whack!

But more importantly, you can press any direction to throw your opponent!

If you get into the habit of shielding when you are in trouble, you will be in the perfect position to grab your foe!

But be careful – your opponent will eventually free himself. Don’t hold on for too long, or you’ll lose your chance to throw!

The concept of Pokemon is to train up your own Pokemon to battle other trainers, constantly getting stronger as the game progresses.

This is the theme that plays during one of those encounters. Intense and fast, it seems like the perfect song for a fight!

… too bad the best battles in the game don’t use this song…

Link, The Hero of Time, returns to Super Smash Flash 2!

Wielding the sacred Master Sword and equiped with a large range of weapons, Link is ready to face any opponent.

This song plays, quite fittingly, when you fight Mithos Yggdrassil in the Tower of Salvation. Collete is in grave danger and you have to help her!

Beat the Angel gives you the feeling that if you don’t win, it’s all over. Never give up!

Dragon Ball’s Son Goku appears to stand his ground in Super Smash Flash 2!

Eager to fight strong opponents, Goku is ready to go all out. Can this strong warrior even be defeated?!

Gligar, the Flyscorpion Pokemon, appears!

Gligar uses Fury Cutter to strike the enemy at high speeds!

If Gligar’s attack hits, he’ll dash again, for a total of five attacks. And with each consecutive strike, the damage he deals doubles!

But if Gligar’s Fury Cutter is dodged or shielded, he’ll leave the fight.

After the Gateway Galaxy and entering the first dome, players were treated to the first ‘real’ level of Super Mario Galaxy -
Good Egg Galaxy.

The song used in that stage is a full orchestral piece. It seems so calm and intense at the same time!

Of course, it will play on Galaxy Tours.

In Super Smash Flash 2, there are 4 difficulty modes: Beginner, Normal, Hard, and Insane! But there won’t just be more damage dealt to you. The amount and type of opponents changes as well!

In addition, the bosses you face will gain new attacks on higher difficulties, making them even more difficult to take down.

If you’re looking for a true challenge, by all means immediately set the difficulty to insane. You won’t be disappointed.

You’re knocked off the edge. You do your best attempt at recovering but you just barely don’t make it to the platform.

What happens now?

If you get close enough to a ledge, you’ll grab on to the edge and hang on.

Now that you’re safely on the ledge, you have a few options.

If you press the Shield button instead, you’ll get up and be invulnerable for a few moments.

If your enemy is close to your ledge, press the standard attack button to perform a ledge attack!

You can also try other things, such as jumping or simply falling off, to trick your opponent. Just because you’re on the edge, it doesn’t mean you have a disadvantage!

“Sonic: Never Let It Go” (0:58)

In the old days, there was an arcade game called Sonic the Fighters. There were eight playable characters, and the game had you fighting all of the others to see who would be allowed to save the world from Dr. Robotnik.

Towards the end of that game, you had to fight against Metal Sonic. This is the song that played during that encounter.

While listening to this song, you must remember to never let it go! (The attack button, that is)

Sorry again. I can’t be expected to make every update, and no one else is making any when I need them. I simply did not have time to make one for tonight.

Updates will continue as scheduled, so expect one on friday! As usual, said update will be something not from the current demo.

*Insert generic update that no one would care about anyways*

Konohagakure, also known as Konoha, is the primary setting in Naruto.

Here, you fight in the streets and on the rooftops! There’s lots of room for variety on this stage.

But this town is full of life. Some guest characters may appear on this stage too!

He’s the leader of the bunch; you know him well. He’s finally here to kick some tail!

Donkey Kong is one heavy gorilla, and he has the sheer strenght to go with it. He can deal strong blows to knock his opponents far off the stage, watch out for this primate!

Home to the adorable Mr. Saturn creatures, Ness and his friends traveled through here on their quest.

Looks like some other things are making guest appearances too.

It’s as if they enjoy watching the fight… until they unwillingly join it!

But why would you want to do that?

Once you know how to move and attack, then you need to know how to avoid enemy attacks. The way to do this is with either shielding or dodging.

However, over time it shrinks down. You can’t keep it up forever!

In addition to shielding, you can dodge at any time. You can also use these with the shield button.

Try to use these moves against opposing attacks whenever you can, as they may just save your life.

Movement; while it may not be the most exciting thing about SSF2, it’s still something you need to know before starting a fight.

First, let’s talk about moving: To walk, simply press the directional button in the direction you’d like your character to go. If you double tap the directional button, you character will start to run instead.

Next up is jumping: Since the objective is to smash your opponent out of the field, jumping can make or break you. Jump to gain some height, tap again and your character will preform another jump in the air.

Last but not least is the crouch. When crouching, you can dodge projectiles above you and it can get you out some rough situations. Simply press the down directional button, and your character will duck. Easy as that.

Every character moves in a different way, try them all to see who suits you the best!

This is… the Mushroom Kingdom! You always start in this stage when starting Adventure Mode.

You’ll go through a good section of the Mushroom Kingdom, stomping on Goombas and kicking Koopa Shells along the way!

But just when you are enjoying it…

The stage suddenly becomes a lot larger than you had initially imagined! It’s not simply a jog through the plains anymore.

And that’s not even the end. You still have to traverse the difficult paths ahead.

And once you reach the end…

This is just a taste of what Adventure Mode is really like. Huge worlds featuring many different parts… this is how it should be.

Just like in the original Super Smash Bros., characters appear on the stage with their own signature flare!

Mario takes a warp pipe to the match.

Kirby’s Warp Star flies him in.

Link appears! Could… could he be using the whistle?

Sora sprints out of the Door to Darkness.

Sonic simply bounces onto the stage.

Naruto teleports himself in with a Jutsu technique.

Ichigo changes into his Shinigami form.

Ness uses PK Teleport.

Every character has a different entrance! You can enjoy seeing them each time you play.

It’s the Energy Tank! Otherwise known as E-Tank, this is a staple item of the Mega Man series that restored all of your health.

It may look small, but it sure packs a punch!

When you get one of these, you are healed all the way back down to 0%, no matter what you may already be at. However, it’s not instant, and you become vulnerable the moment you grab it.

You’ll waste a second holding it up.

Though this may be the strongest of the healing items, there is one significant other one I should mention…

Of course! The Heart Container!

The Heart Container heals up to 100%. Be sure to grab these if you see them in the middle of battle, as they can turn the tide very quickly.

Sonic the Hedgehog appears once more to join the party! The blue blur is ready for action.

Of course, Sonic is all about speed, so if you think fast, you can run circles around your opponents.

The bob-omb is a classic item from all of the Super Smash Bros. games.

This little bomb is very powerful when it hits something.

However, after a set amount of time without being picked up, the Bob-omb starts walking around on its own! If you touch it in this state, it’s going to explode.

After some time of walking around, it glows red… you better get out of there, or you’ll be flying off screen!

While Special Moves may be more exciting, you can’t forget about your Standard Attacks.

So lets have a quick look at all three, shall we?

Use it by holding down the Standard Attack button. It could be anything from 3 quick punches to a single powerful jab.

Use each by holding a direction, and then pressing the Standard Attack. They are weak, but have long range.

Use a Smash Attack by pressing Standard Attack at the same time as a direction. Smash attacks can be charged up, and are usually very powerful.

This is a Dash Attack. Use it by pressing Standard Attack while running.
It’s important to learn about all of your character’s attacks, so you can choose which one to use at any given time. That’s truly the key to victory.

Tower of Salvation, home to many intense battles, makes it to Super Smash Flash 2. Remember fighting Yggdrassil? And even Kratos!?

Due to it’s simplicity and moving floating platforms, this is a great battlefield. It’s not as quiet as it seems though…

Mithos Yggdrassil plays as a hazard for this stage, bringing a plethora of special moves with him.

It’s the exploding tag; a part of the basic equipement of the shinobi. If you see it on the field, try to pick it up!

As on might expect, the tag will explode after thrown. But not immediately…

After the tag hits something, it will first stick in place for a while. This could give you the time to dodge the explosion it releases, but your timing has to be very accurate for that…

Don’t fool around with the exploding tags too much though. They are weapons, not toys. If you play around with them, they might explode prematurely.

The famous red-clad plumber Mario once again sets foot on the battleground. Let’s-a go!

Mario is a well balanced, all-around character, suitable for both beginning and more advanced players.

Oh no!  You’ve just been hit off of a platform!

You’re done for!

Y-you’re safe!!  But how?!

Of course!  He used his recovery move!

A recovery move, usually the up special, are specifically designed to lead you back to the ledge, and kick major butt at the same time.

Some recovery moves, like Spring Jump and Beat Call, excell at Vertical Distance.

While others, like Kirby’s multiple jumps, are great for Vertical, and Horizontal recovery!

All characters have some form of recovery, you just have to find it!  Some are unexpected…

Mario’s cape is great for an extra horizontal push when you really need it!

Recoveries are great, but they are to be used wisely.  Most Up Specials, after execution, put you in a Helpless State, in which you cannot move (besides slight horizontal movement) until you hit the ground, making you a big target for opponents.

“Mother: Hi Hi Hi” (0:33)

Composers: Hiroshi Kanazu, Keiichi Suzuki, & Hirokazu Tanaka
Arranger: John Klang

• Check your volume settings.

The Mother series is very strange. The player beats up runaway dogs, hippies attack with toothbrushes… not to mention the main villain of the first two games.

This song seems to be an embodiment of that oddness. We had it arranged specifically for this game – that is, you won’t find this version anywhere else!

Or, if you’re a real Mother fan…

BoIng! ZoOM! ThiS Music soUnDs zOOm! LiStEn WhIle yoU FiSH fOr birDIes! KaY-O!

Many characters have the ability to reflect projectiles back at their user!

Deploying shield…

Return to sender!

Though some moves can be held out to continuously reflect all incoming projectiles, a few can only reflect at the proper time.

Almost missed…

There are, however, some strong attacks that can’t be stopped.

Are you sure that’s a good idea…?

Ah! Too bad…

The Super Smash Bros. series had three basic battering weapons included in it that weren’t from any specific series.

The simple fan.

The fan doesn’t do much damage, but with its quick hits, it adds up fast! It even flips opponents.

A… lightsaber?

I’m sure many fans thought that when they first saw it. It’s the Beam Sword! It’s pretty strong and has the most range of these items.

IT’S A HOME RUN!

The Home Run bat is very strong when you wind up for a smash attack.

There are other battering items, but these are the three which all others are based on.

Twilight Town, the temporary home of Roxas in Kingdom Hearts II. With a golden sunset in the background and a bell-laden clock tower looming in the distance, this city setting is the perfect place for a fight above the streets!

What a beautiful view!

Fighters can take in all of the sights and sounds before the game starts…

Wow, that is one tall tower…

…but be wary, once the fight commences, it’s time for a rooftop battle royale!

Talk about public disturbances!

Unlike most stages, no two platforms are the same height in Twilight Town. Since each rooftop is so small, the action can get very cramped. Mix it up by jumping across to other buildings! By using height to your advantage, you can avoid taking damage from the brawl below.

Sometimes, it good to just escape from the excitement.

Watch out for the gaps between the towers, though. Falling down one of them could be deadly!

Make sure you haven’t used your air recovery…

…or it could cost you the match!

Pokémon #025: Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon.

When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.

I am sorry this past Wednesday did not have an update. My computer had a virus and needed to be repaired, so I was unable to prepare the update. Another developer attempted to put up an update, but it was not a good update to put up yet.

Updates will continue on schedule from now on. Hopefully. There should also be a bonus update sometime in the future to make up for this.
