Steel Diver is an unlockable stage in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from the from the game of the same name.
Layout[]
Bomberman floating on the stage.
Steel Diver primarily takes place underwater atop the ND-03 BlueShark, a large blue submarine facing right. The submarine consists of a long bow and a short, slanted stern with a conning tower in the middle acting as walls and a straight platform.
With hazards turned on, character's physics are altered in order to simulate the underwater environment. Specifically, gravity is reduced by 30%, jumping speed is increased by 10%, and midair jumping speed is increased by 5%, which allows characters to jump higher and fall more slowly. Additionally, after about one minute, the orange ND-01 Manatee submarine appears from the right side of the stage and slowly takes the place of the ND-03 BlueShark, which disappears to the left. The ND-01 Manatee is similar in shape but smaller in size with a short bow and a long stern. About one minute and twenty seconds after this submarine appears, the ND-03 BlueShark returns from the left side of the stage and returns the stage to its original layout.
Music[]
- The main music track is Steel Diver Theme, a techno remix of the title theme from the game of the same name.
- The alternate music track is Wave Racer 64, an electronic remix of the title theme from Wave Race 64.
Tournament legality[]
This stage is banned from competitive play. While there are no major issues, the center raised bit divides the stage into two and has two small walls allowing for infinites. This has allowed the community to decide it should be banned.
Origin[]
The ND-03 BlueShark as it appears in Steel Diver.
The Steel Divers are a naval task force in the Steel Diver games assigned to combat a power-hungry nation bent on conquest. In the original Steel Diver, there are three submarines available for the player to control, each of which has unique traits affecting combat and maneuverability. The main layout of the stage in SSF2 features the ND-03 BlueShark, which is the most mid-ranged of the three submarines in terms of size, speed, and beam length, and it features two forward-facing torpedo launch ports. The second submarine that appears is the ND-01 Manatee, which is the smallest and slowest of the three submarines and the only one capable of firing torpedoes vertically. The submarines also appear in Steel Diver: Sub Wars as the Blue Shark and Deep Manatee, respectively.
