__NOTOC__
The '''Smash Ball''' is an item found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. In order to use its powers, the players have to actually attack the Smash Ball, to a certain extent, and break it open before use. By collecting it, the player can then trigger the character's [[Final Smash]]. To activate the Final Smash, the player must press the special move button, without any directional input. The item itself is a rainbow-colored emblem of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. After collecting the Smash Ball, the player's character will have a glowing aura around them. Additionally, the screen will dim a bit overall, excluding the glowing character. If the Smash Ball is present for a period of time without anyone receiving it, the Smash Ball will fly away and disappear until another one appears.


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.
There is also a Pity Final Smash which is given to the losing player when a point of advantage has reached. When this has happened, the player will reappear after a KO in Final Smash stand-by mode.


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.
The player can also lose the Smash Ball after they have been attacked. If this happens, the Smash Ball comes loose from the player and starts flying about again. The player or another player can regain it by attacking it.


In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', the Smash Ball has a slightly different design. Before the official announcement on Miiverse that Smash Balls would return, a Smash Ball (in its original design) can be seen in the [[Villager]]'s newcomer illustration.

The Smash Ball reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' with the same design as in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''.

The Smash Ball is an item found in the 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 / 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 reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with the same design as in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. This time, occasionally after appearing, 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.[1] If the Smash Ball rolls off the stage, it reappears a second later, similar to Soccer Balls 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.[2] A fake version of the Smash Ball with the lines inverted known as the Fake Smash Ball also appears in the game, and may even appear alongside a genuine Smash Ball.
