Pokémon Stadium 2

Pokémon Stadium 2 is a stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, based in (as its name suggests) the Pokémon universe. The basic layout of the stage is essentially unchanged from Super Smash Bros. Melee ' s Pokémon Stadium, save for a major graphical upgrade, including a huge space between the crowd and the stadium. As with the original Pokémon Stadium, every so often, the stage transforms to represent a certain Pokémon type (see "Elements" below). However, unlike its predecessor, Pokémon will occasionally appear in the background.

Elements
There are four possible stage transformations, each of which represents a particular type from the Pokémon games. While this feature was in the Melee version as well, the types represented in Brawl are all new. Whenever the stage transforms, the layout of its platforms changes, and in some cases the very physics of the game becomes altered as well.


 * Electric: Has two conveyer belts near the edges on the stage.
 * Flying: Enhances all characters' jumping abilities.
 * Ground: Only changes layout. No known physics effects.
 * Ice: Makes platforms extremely slippery.

Pokémon
A new feature in Pokémon Stadium 2 is the guest Pokémon who appear in the background of altered stages.


 * Electric: Electivire and Magnezone
 * Flying: Drifloon, Hoppip, and Skarmory.
 * Ground: Cubone and Dugtrio.
 * Ice: Snorunt and Snover.

Sakurai's Cat
When the stadium is in ice mode, there is a cabin in the middle of the stage. Hidden in the cabin is a poster of a kitten, and what looks like the Wii Hint Cat on the same poster. It is unknown who's kitten is pictured on the poster, but it is assumed to be Sakurai's.
