The Fake Smash Ball is an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that resembles a Smash Ball, but with the lines on the Super Smash Bros. logo inverted (the horizontal line being thicker than the vertical line) as a way of deceiving players into thinking it is the real Smash Ball. It appears at a random time in the stage and can be hit similar to a regular Smash Ball; however, once it is broken, it explodes in an "X" formation and inflicts 36% damage on nearby fighters, launching them away.[1] A Fake Smash Ball may even appear alongside a genuine Smash Ball, and unlike it, which moves arbitrarily around the stage, the Fake Smash Ball moves towards fighters, increasing their chances of accidentally breaking it.[2]
The Fake Smash Ball may spawn with Soccer Ball physics, and begin rolling on the ground, in a matter reminiscent of the original.
