Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

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.

Trivia

  • In the 2006 E3 Trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario is shown simply grabbing the Smash Ball out of the air, rather than attacking it. It is possible that they had not considered making the Smash Ball harder to obtain yet, or it was just for the intro.
  • When a Smash Ball appears, players can hear the audience gasp.
