Mushroom Kingdom II is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 that originally appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable stage. Mushroom Kingdom II was originally added in demo v0.5b, though it was removed in demo v0.8a in favour of the brand new Mushroom Kingdom III. For SSF2 Beta Dev Blog #8, it was confirmed that Mushroom Kingdom II was returning for Beta, sporting an updated design.

Layout
The stage was rather similar to its SSF counterpart in terms of layout. Some hazards are included in this incarnation such as Birdo, who makes brief appearances in both sides of the foregrounds to hurt combatants by shooting eggs at them. A Pidgit also descends on its carpet. This carpet works as an extra platform. A gimmick that was planned, but never implemented was the ability to pick turnips, similar to 's Vegetable move, which would have been buried in the ground as soon as the match starts.
