In all five games, when the player loses in a one player match such as 1P Game, Classic, Adventure, or [[All-Star Mode]], they must trade [[Gold (collectible)|coins]] in order to have an extra number of lives in [[stock]]. This is known as a '''Continue'''. Continues can occur in [[Classic Mode]], ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''{{'}}s [[1P Game]], [[All Star]] (except in {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}), ''[[Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], ''[[Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[Subspace Emissary]], and ''[[Ultimate]]''{{'}}s [[World of Light]]. In [[Brawl]], despite functioning like ''All Star'', in [[Boss Battles Mode]] the player has no continues after a game over upon being KO'd (as the player is under [[Stadium]]). Smash 4’s ''All Star'' (similar to ''Boss Battles'' from Brawl) has no continues after a game over upon running out of time or upon being KO'd (as the player is under Solo mode inside Games & More).

==In [[Classic Mode]], [[Adventure Mode]], and [[All-Star Mode]]==

When the player runs out of stocks, they are faced with a screen where the [[announcer]] asks if they wish to continue. In the [[1P Game]] of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the player can continue as many times as they wish, with points being deducted from the score. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', however, the player will not have a choice to continue if they do not have enough [[Gold (collectible)|coins]] to pay (as both games force them to pay a fixed number of coins); they are instead given a Game Over, returning to the menu. If sufficient funds are available, then the player can choose whether or not to continue. If the player chooses "no" and decides to exit, a Game Over still occurs. If they choose "Yes", however, then the game continues, with the player regaining all their lives and continuing the game as usual. In ''Melee'', the player can own up to 999 coins while in ''Brawl'', they can own up to 9,999.  

Continuing the game in ''Smash 64'' cuts the total score the player earned in half. However, one point is gained for each continue used; this is presumably meant to indicate that a continue has been used, as otherwise points are gained in increments of 10. In addition, ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' continues cause the player to trade a fixed number of coins in order to continue (and get an extra number of lives to continue playing), with higher difficulties costing a higher number of coins.

In ''Melee'', on both {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} and [[Adventure Mode]], the values are:

[[All Star Mode]] in ''Melee'' always costs 10 coins regardless of difficulty.

In ''Brawl'', on both {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and [[All Star Mode]], these are the values:

If the player completes the game on any difficulty in Classic Mode, Adventure Mode, or All-Star Mode by using a continue, the "Continuation" bonus in ''Melee'' or the "Used a Continue bonus" in ''Brawl'' is given, worth −20,000 points.

In [[Boss Battles Mode]] in [[Brawl]], if the player is KO'd, it's an immediate game over, and they're taken back to the character selection screen.

In {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}, continuing is only possible in Classic Mode. Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the player no longer use their funds to continue. Instead, it removes a few of the rewards that the player has attained to that point and drops the intensity by 0.5, down to no lower than a minimum of 2.0. A "Game Over" is actually shown before choosing to continue in {{for3ds}}. Unlike the previous two installments, on ''All Star'' in ''Smash 4'', similar to ''Boss Battles'' in ''Brawl'', if the player is KO'd or running out of time, there's no option to continue and the player is given a game over, shown the final results display screen, and taken back to the character selection screen.

Note that upon using a Continue, it will be impossible to get the highest intensity, which is 9.9, (Unless the player was already at 9.9 intensity.) otherwise the highest the player can get is a maximum of 9.8.

When the player runs out of stock in the Subspace Emissary, they are faced with a similar choice whether to continue or not. However, there are now three options; Get Up, Back to Map, and Quit. If the player chooses "Back to Map", then they exit the level and can choose another. If they chose "Quit", the game is saved and the player is returned to the Solo menu. Both options cause the player to lose all stickers and trophies they had collected in the level. A Game Over screen appears for "Quit", but not for "Back to Map". Unlike Classic and All-Star Mode, continuing in the Subspace Emissary does not cost coins, but it does carry other consequences.

If the player chooses "Get Up" in the Subspace Emissary, they regain all stock that has been lost, and the following events occur:

*The number of stickers and trophies, including those obtained by the [[Trophy Stand]], attained in the stage is halved. Anything attained from Golden Boxes, however, cannot be lost.

If a player fails a match in World of Light, they will be given the chance to challenge the fight again by selecting Rematch, the player want to change their party by selecting Change Party and the player won't continue by selecting Quit. Their primary spirit will gain experience, like it does when a match is won, but in a noticeably smaller amount. The player can retry a match as many times as they want to, with no penalty.

*Continuing results in the player's score being increased by one. This is used to show how many times the player has continued.

*Although the "Continue" screen is overridden by an instant Game Over state if the player runs out of coins, the "Yes" and "No" buttons aren't affected and will appear unless a Game Over occurs after the trophy lands. If automatic continuation is the default action with a Game Over state, the score still deducts in half but the current amount of coins are kept. This can be tested out using the [[Action Replay]] codes below:
