      Tips

      • A Flash player emulator known as Ruffle has been created that can run many Flash games through your browser. At this point in time, it does not support the most up-to-date version of the language Flash used, ActionScript 3, but its creators have stated they plan on adding support soon. [3] This is the language used for Super Smash Flash 2, so when support is added, you will also be able to play through Ruffle!
      • You can also choose to run Super Smash Flash 2 with an outdated browser and installation of Flash, but this method creates many security issues, so we strongly recommend using the downloadable application.
