Chaos Shrine

Chaos Shrine, also known as the Temple of Fiends, is one of the many stages in Super Smash Flash 2 and the first ever Final Fantasy stage representation in the Super Smash Flash series (following Cloud's appearance in the first game). It was added in demo v0.7 as part of the surprise for Black Mage's inclusion. Thus, it was added as an unlockable stage which is unlocked together with Black Mage after playing a total of 10 matches. For the remainder of following demos and the final release, Chaos Shrine was changed into a starter stage permanently.

Layout
The Chaos Shrine in Super Smash Flash 2, is a mix of many Chaos Shrines found in the Final Fantasy series: Dissidia, Past Chaos Shrine and Present Chaos Shrine. It consists of a long plain hall-way with two small plateaus on each side of the edges. It appears to be floating in an alternative space dimension much like the Chaos Shrine of the past did; though it retains its deserted feeling of Chaos Shrine of the present. Various colors and textures are based on Dissidia's design.

A large number of bats can be seen in Chaos Shrine flying around the roof, but they don't harm the players. The four fiends are also seen floating in the background: Tiamat, the Kraken, the Lich and Marilith. Any hazards are unknown at the moment.

Origin
The Chaos Shrine appears early on in Final Fantasy I. The Warriors of Light are sent to this deserted temple to rescue the princess from the evil lord 'Garland'. The temple was found in a bad state and filled with bats. Upon encountering Garland, he will speak his famous line ("I, Garland, shall knock you all down.") and a boss battle would be triggered.

Chaos Shrine reappears later on in the story, when the Light Warriors have gathered all the 4 orbs and defeated the 4 fiends. The Light Warriors head to the Chaos Shrine for the last showdown with God of disorder 'Chaos'. The whole temple is dragged into a distorted dimension by Chaos as he confronts the Light Warriors.

The Temple of Fiends makes another appeareance in both Final Fantasy: Dissidia games as a map wherein one can fight.

Music
The track used in this stage is a Metal arrangement of the battle theme from the original Final Fantasy.
