The '''Smash Ball''' is an item found in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is a brightly colored, shining ball with the ''Smash Bros.'' logo on it.


During battles, the Smash Ball may appear at a random time and will begin flying around the stage. By attacking the Smash Ball and breaking it, the character that broke it will begin glowing and will be able to use their [[Final Smash]]. The amount of times needed to attack it differs each time it appears and is also dependent on the character's strength. If the players do not break it in time (or neglect it entirely), the Smash Ball will leave the stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', the screen will flash and a gasp will sound when the Smash Ball appears, and the screen will dim slightly when the Smash Ball is collected.

If there are any [[Dragoon]] or [[Daybreak]] pieces on the stage, the Smash Ball will not appear, and vice versa. When a player is falling behind by a significant amount, they will act as if they have the Smash Ball when returning to the stage, called a Pity Final Smash. Additionally, the player can lose the Smash Ball if they are attacked enough times, which will have the Smash Ball begin flying around the stage again after being dropped.

Before the official announcement on [[Miiverse]] that Smash Balls would return, a Smash Ball is shown in the [[Villager]]'s newcomer illustration.

The Smash Ball will reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' with the same design as in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. This time, occasionally after being hit, the Smash Ball becomes affected by gravity and rolls along the stage like an actual ball, though it can still be broken in this state.<ref>GameXplain.

Retrieved June 14, 2018.</ref> If the Smash Ball rolls off the stage, it reappears a second later, similar to [[Soccer Ball]]s in the previous installment. A character can also directly steal the Smash Ball from another character who has the Final Smash on standby through a powerful enough attack, granting the former the ability to use it instead.<ref>Cyber Shaman.

|''A mighty item. Each character has a unique secret technique known as a Final Smash that can only be used when that character acquires a Smash Ball. Use it well, and you'll be one huge step closer to victory. It can turn the battle's tide, help you put the finishing touches on a complete thrashing, or even provide a chaotic finish that's sure to leave you laughing until you cry.''
