## **Stage Info**

The next generation of Flat Zone stages! Flat Zone 3 uses the transformation mechanic of Flat Zone 2, but uses three different transformations with those being based on the Parachute, Fire Attack, and Rain Shower games.

## **Stage Layout**

Flat Zone 3 does not have a normal “base layout” and each time you load it up it randomizes which layout the stage will start out with when the battle starts. That said, there is a higher than average chance that the opening layout will be the Fire Attack transformation.

When it’s time for the stage to change it will transform into another layout chosen at random as the one you are one fades out and the new layout fades in. All layouts, unless specified otherwise feature a flat grounded surfaces with walk offs to either side.

**Parachute** - In the Parachute transformation, there are only two small cliffs on the left and right of the stage which can be used as platforms. Down below, there is a flat character manning a boat that you can use as a platform as well, but beware for he doesn’t always stay in the same place and can without warning row over to another part of the ocean. The ocean itself isn’t swimmable water and is merely a bottomless pit as far as the players are concerned.

**Fire Attack** - In the Fire Attack transformation, two platforms will appear in the middle of the screen with the one higher up being just a tad longer than the one below it. On the left and right you can stand on the cliffs featured there as platforms as well.

**Rain Shower** - In the Rain Shower transformation, both of the roofs of the house can be used as platforms as well as the roof of the building on the far left.

## **Stage Hazards**

### **Parachute:**

The turtles from Turtle Bridge also make an appearance on this transformation as they can at times appear in the water with the boat to serve as small temporary platforms. However if you stand on them for too long, they’ll dive into the water for a short time and will no longer be a platform which leads you to fall to your death.

### **Fire Attack:**

Be wary of standing on those cliffs as there will at times be flat characters holding flaming torches that they throw up at the two floating platforms to try and burn down the building that they represent. These torches can of course damage and burn players.

### **Rain Shower:**

While the rain falling down from the sky is merely an aesthetic as far as the players are concerned, it does prompt a flat character to to be seen adjusting the clotheslines to try and make sure none of his clothes get wet. When the clothes get moved, if you are in the way, they can damage you so watch out for that. The rain doesn’t fall all the time though. When it stops the clothes will disappear, seemingly taken back inside the house, and the stage will be fully open for you to fight on until the rain starts to fall again.
