Dig Dug(stage)

Overview
when the match starts, there is a brief period of time where the player can stand on the top without ko risk. However, the stage will begin scrolling down, promting the player to dig downwards to avoid hitting the blast line. Players can dig by holding down the toggle stick, prompting their avatar to slowly sink into the earth. They can also move it in multiple directions to change digging directions. If you run into a pooka or frygar cave, you can hide out there for a while, assuming you kill the inhabitant. when the bottom of the map is reached, it opens into a larger, black area. This is better for fighting on, but enemies can folow you down here due to their ability to phase through walls. Running beneath a rock gives you a small amount of time where you can escape before dropping and crushing anything beneath it.

Hazards
pookas and frygars can be found in caves, and will wander around until a player gets near, during which they will phase towards them. If they run into a pre-dug tunnel, they will become solid again and alk through that tunnel. They can be easily defeated, but frygars have the extra probelm of breathing fire. Also, rocks will kill anyone who digs beneath them.

Cruel KO
getting hit by a rock, or going past the blastline.
