The jumbotron displays the action in the ring. Both the surrounding scrolling LED panel and jumbotron display "KO!" when a character scores a KO (except on Local Wireless in the 3DS version) and "SUDDEN DEATH" during [[Sudden Death]] for the remainder of the match. When a [[Smash Ball]] appears, the scrolling text says "CHANCE!" (''Wii U'') or "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!" (''Ultimate'') instead of "PUNCH-OUT!!" or "SMASH BROS." In {{forwiiu}} and ''Ultimate'', the screen can display a versus splash with [[#Character titles|unique titles]] for the character shown, a character's KO and damage totals, and the [[match timer]]. If the battle is not [[time]]d, the time display will have dashes in place of numbers. The screen also shows "Fight #_". This number actually refers to what number the match played is. If the match number is 10 or more, it will just display "Fight #9". It resets every time the game is turned on. When playing online, it's random. The last thing the jumbotron will display is the current leader of the match, displayed by the "TOP" area in the versus splash screen, such as "TOP - KIRBY". If two or more characters are tied in points, stocks or coins, the display will instead read "TOP -". Additionally, the leader's KO total and position can also be briefly be seen during the time the jumbotron displays "KO!"; this display is capped at 99 in ''Smash 4'', while ''Ultimate'' will show up to 999. | The jumbotron displays the action in the ring.
