Casino Night Zone (カジノナイト) is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from the Sonic series.
Layout[]
Casino Night Zone consists of a large main platform, which is elevated in the center and lower on the left and right sides, and two soft platforms, which float higher than the main platform past either side. With hazards turned on, six bumpers appear across the stage, including a small circular bumper above each soft platform, a triangular bumper below each soft platform, and two long bumpers floating above and below the main platform and moving slowly left and right. Making contact with a bumper deals moderate, fixed knockback in the direction opposite to which side of the bumper was hit.
Music[]
- The main music track is Casino Night Zone, a calm upbeat remix of the theme that plays on the level of the same name in Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
- The alternate music track is Casino Park, an upbeat remix of the theme that plays on the level of the same name in Sonic Heroes.
Tournament legality[]
This stage is banned in competitive play. With hazards enabled, the bumpers make it more difficult to score KOs, as they can be used to recover back onto the stage. Standing underneath the bumpers on the left or right sides of the stage can allow infinite chain grabs, especially when up throw is used. Even with hazards disabled, the stage is still banned. The floating platforms are very far offstage, creating both powerful camping zones and allowing characters with bad offstage games to greatly extend their reach when edgeguarding. The main platform is designed in such a way that encourages campy play by making it more difficult to approach.
Origin[]
Casino Night Zone in Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
Casino Night Zone is the fourth area, or zone, of Sonic The Hedgehog 2. It is located on West Side Island and comprises of a large city during nighttime with flashing neon colors and skyscrapers. Various elements throughout the zone are themed around pinball, such as bumpers, flippers, and spring catapults. True to its name, the zone also prominently features slot machines, in which Sonic or Tails may spin three reels to gamble on Rings, with most formations rewarding Rings and some costing 100 Rings.
The stage in SSF2 contains various elements present in the original zone from Sonic The Hedgehog 2, such as neon lights, gold-colored platforms with blue pillars, and a slot machine that runs indefinitely. Additionally, elements such as the red carpets and sign reading "Casino" resemble the zone's appearance in Sonic Generations. The bumpers act very similarly to how they do throughout the Sonic series, with the sound effect that plays when hitting one being the same as the one used for bumpers since the original Sonic The Hedgehog.
