Stage hazard

A stage hazard, more commonly referred to as a hazard, refers to a particular stage element in Super Smash Flash 2 and Fraymakers that can directly interfere with or be interacted with the characters as they are fighting during of a match. Many stage hazards can directly damage or launch players on contact, while others may affect the stage layout in another way, such as moving or disappearing platforms, objects that can be attacked or broken, camera location changes, or complete transitions to a different stage layout. Many stages' hazards also come in set or random intervals, while others are always present.

Stage hazards can be switched on and off from the Rules menu or stage selection screen, though this does not affect all stage hazards. In Fraymakers, turning hazards off often has additional effects to the stage's layout such as relocating or removing certain platforms. This option is mainly used for competitive players to play on a wider variety of stages, as stages with overwhelming hazards would typically be banned in tournaments. It should be noted, however, that many stages are still banned in tournaments even with hazards disabled due to their layouts rather than their hazards.
