'''End of Day''' ({{ja|一日の終わり|Ichinichi no Owari}}, ''End of One Day'') is [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]]'s [[Final Smash]].

The {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate ship}} will suddenly appear and the background will change to a starry night sky. The same ship appears if [[Alph]] is being used despite Alph using a different ship named the {{s|pikipedia|S.S. Drake}} in his home series. Olimar will quickly enter the ship and fly away, and the Pikmin stay behind. All opponents close enough to the ship upon activation will be [[buried]], and all opponents outside the bury radius can still move for the duration of the Final Smash. The [[camera]] will follow Olimar's ascent into space and then fixate on the sky mostly above the upper [[blast line]], causing players to struggle to see what they are doing. The ship will automatically steer towards the center of the stage no matter where the attack was initiated. The ship has a [[meteor smash]] effect if it hits a foe in midair upon ascent. It is therefore possible to use of End of Day to [[edgeguard]] by intercepting recovering enemies with the ship; this is also virtually impossible to meteor cancel. Pausing the match during the attack will not allow the use of regular pause camera controls; the camera will remain fixed.

While the ship is suspended in the air, several [[Bulborb]]s can be seen attacking the opponents off-screen. The Bulborbs deal a small amount of damage (0.358333%{{GameIcon|Brawl}}/0.125%{{GameIcon|SSB4}}/0.1875%{{GameIcon|Ultimate}}), but deal that damage every [[frame]] for 120{{GameIcon|Brawl}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}/{{rollover|81|parameter is actually 80 but there are 81 hits in practice|?}}{{GameIcon|Ultimate}} frames, resulting in a maximum of 43%{{GameIcon|Brawl}}/15%{{GameIcon|SSB4}}/15.1875%{{GameIcon|Ultimate}}. The background then returns to normal as the ship falls back down to the stage and explodes, dealing massive damage and knockback to all opponents within range of the explosion. While the ship in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' only falls straight down and falls fins first, ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' introduced the ship falling nose first while on fire and the player being able to steer the ship while it is falling.

When finishing the move, the explosion from the crashing ship sends Olimar shooting up to the top of the screen in a state similar to [[helpless]]ness (it uses the [[tumbling]] animation, but he cannot perform any attacks until he touches solid ground, just like when he is helpless). Olimar cannot [[tech]] on the floor after he tumbles out of his ship. Until Olimar lands from this jump, the Pikmin will not move to him and he cannot perform [[Pikmin Order]]. Opponents that have survived the attack can then have an opportunity to kill Pikmin quickly before they react.

All damage from End of Day can be avoided by characters with high vertical recovery like [[Pit]] and [[R.O.B.]] or characters with multiple midair jumps such as [[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]] by allowing them to stay within range of the camera (avoiding [[hoop damage]]) when it tilts upward as well as allowing them to avoid the entire length of the Bulborb attacks. However, the camera may make it difficult to tell if the character will land on the ground or not, or if they will be in the range of the ship's attack when it falls. These characters must also avoid touching Olimar's ship at the sky above the upper blast line or they will be star [[KO]]'d automatically. Other characters can also partially dodge the Final Smash by [[sidestepping]] constantly.

Certain stages (such as custom stages) will cause Olimar to [[self-destruct]] after using this Final Smash; since the ship will always fall in the center of the stage, it will drop right through if there is no platform in the middle (similar to Ike's [[Great Aether]]). This can happen in [[Bridge of Eldin]] and just before the loop in [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] 1-2 (In ''Brawl'', this will probably not actually count as an SD due to ''Brawl''{{'}}s KO-allotting system). In ''Smash 4'', this can notably happen in Olimar's home stage, [[Garden of Hope]], due to the collapsible bridge in the middle. The adjustments made in ''SSB4'' mitigate this due to allowing the player to control the descent of the ship, and ''Ultimate'' further alleviates the issue by having Olimar land off-center in certain stages, again like Great Aether. However, this introduces a new opportunity to self-destruct by over shooting and falling through a gap on the sides of a stage, either with the ship itself or in the pseudo-helpless state.

End of Day is one of the four Final Smashes that can affect a team player with Team Attack turned off prior to ''Ultimate'', and the only Final Smash to do so in ''Ultimate'', a trait shared with [[Landmaster]], [[Puff Up]], and [[Galaxia Darkness]] (''Brawl'' only) prior to that game. This is solely because of the hoop damage caused when the screen moves away from the main stage. Teammates will be affected at a much smaller interval than opponents, though. As the hoop damage is the only ally damage involved, End of Day can only KO an ally when in [[Stamina Mode]]. Like Landmaster, this will not count as a self-destruct.

The confirmation of the move at {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} stated that if more fighters are present, the move does more damage. On the other hand, if more fighters are dueling when this Final Smash is initiated, then there is more of a chance that the fighters would steal Olimar's [[KO]]s. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that this was to balance the move out. However, the wording of the statement partially implies that the damage dealt to each opponent depends on the number of opponents, where in actuality the damage to each opponent is constant, and it simply deals more damage in total when all opponents are considered.

|desc=Olimar's Final Smash. Dusk falls, and his spaceship makes a landing. Olimar takes the Onion, with all his Pikmin aboard, and blasts off for the stars. In Pikmin, native life-forms grew active and violent at night, making it lethal to remain on the surface--this is why Olimar would take his Onions and leave at night. This technique breaks the framework of the game.

|name=End of Day

|desc-ntsc=On the planet Olimar is investigating, the native creatures become extra violent at night, forcing him to retreat to orbit every evening. His Final Smash works the same way: night falls and Olimar takes to the sky, leaving his foes to the mercy of the wildlife below. Olimar returns when dawn breaks, and you can adjust his less-than-safe landing!

|desc-pal=On the planet of the Pikmin, the native creatures get quite violent come nightfall, so Olimar retreats to orbit every evening. That's how his Final Smash works, too: Olimar takes off in his trusty Dolphin,{{sic}} then in come the beasties to take care of the other fighters. When Olimar returns, make sure he touches down, er...safely!

==End of Day KO glitch==

The '''End of Day Star/Screen KO glitch''' is a glitch in {{forwiiu}} that allows [[Star KO]]s and [[Screen KO]]s to still occur when the [[match timer]] reaches [[Match timer#Final countdown timer|five seconds]], despite the game being programmed to prevent this from happening. To perform the glitch, Olimar must be in the match and have the Final Smash glow, then use it when a character is about to be KO'd off the upper [[blast line]] when the timer is under five seconds. Make it so the character going to be KO'd does not hit Olimar's ship, as this will Meteor Smash them to the ground. The glitch is done easiest when a character is about to be KO'd by a [[Beetle]]. If done correctly, the KO'd character will be Star or Screen KO'd instead of Blast KO'd and the match can potentially end before the KO animation completes - this would not be recommended in serious matches, as no points/stock/coins will be taken from the victim. The glitch also only works on stages that have Star and/or Screen KOs enabled.

*The [[trophies]] for End of Day have had a few errors:

**Furthermore, Olimar leaves the Pikmin behind, even though it says he takes them aboard. Unlike the ''Pikmin'' games, Olimar boards his ship without being accompanied by his Pikmin's respective Onions; in fact, Onions do not even appear in his Final Smash.

**Finally, the Bulborbs attacking the players do not harm the Pikmin in ''Smash'' (in ''Pikmin'' games, Pikmin left behind would be eaten by their predators).

**The PAL version of the ''Smash 4'' trophy erroneously states that Olimar takes the Dolphin, where, again, Olimar instead takes the Hocotate Ship.

**In [[Mario Circuit]], on the stop where the track is covering the top [[blast line]], the ship will go through the track. It also covers the night sky.

**On [[Rainbow Cruise]], the stage above can be seen while on the ship.

**On [[Flat Zone 2]] and [[Flat Zone X]], Olimar will fly out of the Game & Watch.

***Because the night sky backdrop now covers elements that are not on the same plane as the fighters, some of the above cannot be seen in ''Ultimate''.

*In ''Ultimate'', if End of Day is used on the [[Training (stage)|Training stage]], the Bulborbs will not attack the opponents on the ground because the camera doesn't tilt enough for them to reach.

*In ''Ultimate'', End of Day's parameters for the Bulborbs say they should deal 15% over the course of 80 frames, resulting in each frame dealing 0.1875%. In practice the Bulborbs attack for 1 extra frame for a total of 15.1875%.
