Clock Town (クロックタウン) is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from The Legend of Zelda series. It is based on the area from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Layout[]
Clock Town consists of three floating platforms, including a hard platform on each side of the stage separated by a long, soft platform above them. The background starts at daytime and shows the passage of time from daytime to nighttime over the course of three days, with each day and night lasting about 24 seconds, and a rainstorm occurs on the second day. The Moon gradually looms closer to the stage until the end of the third night when it is about to crash into the Clock Tower, at which point the Song of Time plays and returns the stage to its initial state.
With hazards turned on, various events occur over the course of the three-day cycle. On the first day, Tingle floats up to the left or right side of the stage with his balloon, which acts as a soft platform and pops upon taking damage, causing Tingle to fall. On the first and second nights, Stray Fairies fly across the stage and recover 10% damage to players that make contact. On the third day, flaming pieces of debris rain down from the sky, with each dealing 14% damage and strong knockback to opponents hit. When the Song of Time plays, any debris still on-screen briefly freezes before flying back up into the sky.
Music[]
- The main music track is Majora's Mask Medley, an orchestral medley of five remixed songs from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
- The alternate music track is Song of Storms, a synthetic remix of one of the ocarina songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Tournament legality[]
This stage is banned in competitive play. The stage layout is unsuitable for competitive play, even without taking the bugged edges into account. The gap in the center fragments the stage into sections each only slightly larger than the moving platform of Smashville, making movement in general difficult and most on-ground tactics either unwieldy or impossible without self-destructing by mistake. Furthermore, the enforced distance between segments hampers rushdown and close-range tactics and strongly encourages defensive play to the point where camping is necessary to function.
Origin[]

Artwork of Link in Southern Clock Town in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Clock Town is a central location in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is a lively town named after its Clock Tower, which bears a massive clock that keeps track of both the current time and time of day. It is the centerpiece and largest town in Termina, a parallel world to Hyrule where Link ends up after chasing Skull Kid, who is controlled by the villainous Majora's Mask. Under its influence, Skull Kid sends the Moon on a collision course towards Clock Town in order to destroy all of Termina. Though it is set to crash into the town in three days, many residents of Clock Town live in denial of its impending crash, instead looking forward to the annual Carnival of Time set to take place shortly afterward. However, after confronting Skull Kid at the end of the third day, Link finds that playing the Song of Time on his Ocarina of Time transports him back to the Clock Tower at the start of the three-day timespan, which he uses to journey across Termina while keeping it perpetually in its three-day cycle to stop its destruction.
The stage in SSF2 takes place in front of the Clock Tower and references the three-day cycle of the game in how the Moon gradually draws closer with each day, with the Song of Time resetting all events. The background also shows much of the layout of Clock Town, as well as other locations in Termina, such as the mountains of Snowhead and the waters of the Great Bay Coast. Tingle functions much like he does throughout the game, in which he can be shot down from his balloon to sell maps of the respective area he is in. Stray Fairies are portions of a Great Fairy that can be collected throughout each dungeon in the game, as well as Clock Town, and returning all of them to their respective Great Fountain resurrects its Great Fairy and rewards Link. The flaming debris is based on that which flies off of the Clock Tower when the Moon crashes into it at the end of the Final Day.
