Sector Z

Sector Z is a stage from the Star Fox series and the home stage of Fox McCloud. It is a stage from the first Super Smash Bros. and reappears in Super Smash Flash 2. It was included in the Super Smash Flash 2 Demo v0.6 and was updated from this Super Smash Bros. to a worn appearance, mainly to represent its return in a "Smash" game due to its absence in the following releases.

Layout
All battles take place aboard the Great Fox, the main ship of the Star Fox team, it has three different terrain levels. The front two-thirds of the ship are the first terrain with the tip of the wing acting as a good vantage point for projectile throwing. The back third of the ship near the engines and the Arwing bay is another terrain with the left wall being a good place to rack combos on another player. However, unlike in the original game, the pair of cannons on the bottom-left of the ship can be used as a platform, so characters can stand on them. However, these cannons will fire form time to time, preventing characters from spamming on them. Also, the cannons can be destroyed after taking a certain amount of damage. When they are destroyed, they won't look like it, but characters will fall through them instead of standing on them. Arwings (and perhaps a Wolfen) have been confirmed to appear as stage hazards, but whether they will behave in the traditional manner seen in Great Fox-based Smash Bros. stages or have different role is unknown.

Origin
There are numerous references to the Star Fox series on this stage. Commonly seen ships in the game, the Wolfen and Arwing, can be seen in the background. As mentioned earlier, Sector Z is a level in Star Fox 64, the fifth level when taking the hard path. The level takes place in a nebula en route to Venom when the Star Fox team and the Great Fox are ambushed by Andross' fighters who have a weapon never seen until this point: giant missiles. These missiles also appear in the background of the stage in Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. In this level of Star Fox 64, the team must protect the Great Fox from being hit by the incoming missiles. Sector Z was also a multiplayer level in Star Fox 64. This area was probably chosen for the setting of this stage and because it is the only stage where the Great Fox is prominently seen. The Great Fox also serves as a great platform.

Music
The Music of this stage is a remix of the title theme of Star Fox 64, like his SSB counterpart.
