Bomb Factory

Bomb Factory is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2, hailing from the very first Bomberman video game. The stage is remiscent to grid-like layout of the classic maze found in the Bomberman series.

Layout
The main platform is a long gray pavement that extends to the side blast zones, making the stage a walk-off. At times, soft blocks will appear in the background which allow the players to jump on them like platforms. These blocks can be destroyed if hit enough times, or if hit with a strong enough attack. Other times, bombs will appear in the background and after a time, they will explode in their iconic cross-shaped pattern, any soft block in the explosion path will also be destroyed in a domino effect. If the player is in the way during the explosion effect, he/she will take about 45% damage along with high knockback, which could KO him/her under the right circumstances.

Music

 * The main music track is a remix of the Bomberman Theme from Super Bomberman.
 * The alternate music track is a remix of the Alcatraz theme from Bomberman 64: The Second Attack.

Origin
The Bomberman games are known for its action-oriented gameplay and grid-like mazes, where a Bomberman player must take out enemies or other Bombermen relying only in placing bombs strategically.

These mazes are filled with two types of blocks, the first are indestructible hard blocks and the other are soft blocks that may be destroyed with explosions, they may also uncover items for Bomberman to pick. Because of the way the maze is arranged, bombs explode in a cross-shaped pattern to cover up various corridors at once, by upgrading Bomberman with Fire power-ups, the range of the explosion can be increased. SSF2 features the soft blocks as platforms and can be destroyed in similar vein to the original games, though they don't uncover items when destroyed, bombs also act very similar, exploding in a cross-shaped pattern a covering a very long range from side-to-side of the stage, as if bombs are upgraded to its maximum capacity.

The name "Bomb Factory" comes from the original NES game, where, according to the game's story, Bomberman is a free-will natured robot that is forced to work on a factory that creates bomb and, after getting tired of doing the same over and over, seeks to reach the surface to become human, according to a rumor he heard in the factory.

Trivia

 * Bomb Factory is the only stage that the camera will always be zoomed out. This is because the stage is set at a permanent zoomed out option, similar to that of training mode camera options. By heading to training mode, one can notice how the zoomed out option is set as default, unlike the rest of stages. Therefore, the player can change the camera option to normal and view the match like the rest of stages.
