Saturn Valley

Saturn Valley is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from the game, EarthBound.

Layout
Saturn Valley consists of a grassy, elevated plain with a dip in the center. There are two houses, one on each side of the stage, and each has a wooden roof that acts as a platform. In addition, there's a Hot Spring in the center of the stage that will gradually heal the players who stand in it. There is a slope leading off the plateau, but it is merely part of the foreground and can not be used.

Music

 * The main music track is titled Hi Hi Hi, a remix of the original theme from EarthBound. Arranged by Jacob Xyless Tjolsen.

Tournament legality
This stage is a counterpick in competitive play. Though it is the largest legal stage, it is only marginally so, only being slightly larger than and Dracula's Castle. Otherwise, there are no problems with the layout. It was initially thought that the slopes in the center would be troublesome, but it was later determined that they do not have as much of an affect on play as was feared.

Origin
Saturn Valley is a village in the EarthBound games and it is home to most Mr. Saturn creatures. In EarthBound, Ness and his friends must go through it in order to reach the third "Your Sanctuary" location, and is also located near Master Belch's base at Grapefruit Falls, where many Mr. Saturns are being held hostage. The valley is also the last place where Ness and friends visit in the present-day, before using the Phase Distorter 3 to travel to The Cave of the Past.

One of the notable points of interest in Saturn Valley is one of two Hot Springs in the game, which can heal Ness and his friends for no cost. It functions the same way in SSF2, where players can stand in it with no risk to gradually heal damage.

Trivia

 * In previous demos of SSF2, several Mr. Saturns would wander around the stage and could be used as throwing items.
