Planet Namek

Planet Namek (ナメック星, Namekkusei) is the stage that represents the Dragon Ball universe in Super Smash Flash 2, and was seen for the first time in Roymaster4's video: Mega Man's SSF2 Mini-Trailer.

Origin
According the manga and several sources, Namek is a planet in a trinary star system located at coordinates 9045XY. It is the home planet to all the Namekians, a race of green beings and warriors that have lived on Namek for many years. The planet once suffered a horrible climate shift that wiped out almost all the Namekians. Saichōrō (Guru in the dub) who, as Namekians can reproduce asexually, was able to repopulate Namek giving birth to 109 Namekians. Afterward, all began re-building the planet; especially the lush vegetation that had been destroyed in the storms.

During the Dragon Ball Z saga (also known as the Namek Saga), Planet Namek was terrorized by Frieza and his henchmen, Dodoria and Zarbon. Frieza wanted to use Namek's Dragon Balls to summon the Eternal Dragon known as Porunga. Porunga grants anyone, not just its summoner, three wishes. Frieza planned to use one of these wishes to gain immortality. The planet was ultimately destroyed by Frieza as a last-ditch effort to kill Goku, who at this point could reach Super Saiyan form, during their battle in the Frieza Saga. Frieza was not worried about breathing in space once Namek was destroyed since he could live without oxygen. All Namekians killed by Frieza and his henchmen (which did not include the deaths caused by Vegeta) were brought back to life by Shenron and teleported to Earth before Namek's destruction by Porunga. The Namekians lived on Earth for roughly 260 days before being resettled on New Namek.

Second design
The stage consists of several rock-platforms over a large body of water. It is entirely possible for players to swim in the water. The stage also connects with the boundaries, meaning it doesn't have any kind of hole. It has been said the orange body above Namek is one of its three suns. Piccolo can be seen observing the battle from the bottom right corner of the stage and Vegeta (who was revealed to be no longer playable), Trunks and Gohan can be seen flying above the stage every 35 seconds. None of them interfere with the battles.

First design
Prior the final design shown in the Smash Flash DOJO!!, the sprites have since been drastically changed since its appearance in the Mini-Trailers. The stage apparently consisted of a large surface on the Planet which contained various floating grass-rock platforms. Although the video only showed three platforms, there was a possibility that there would be other platforms. The rock mountain of Guru's house could be seen in the background and Porunga would occasionally appear in a dark sky. The planet's "moons" were also a complement to the stage.

Music
This stage's BGM is Challengers from the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai OST.

In v0.7, the BGM was originally Power Scale from the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 OST.
