When a fighter is off-screen but not past the blast line, they are still shown inside a small hoop known as the '''magnifying glass'''<ref>[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] - ''Lost in Space'' [[List of bonuses|bonus]]</ref> at the edge of the camera boundary. This hoop is accompanied by an arrow that signals the player to get back on-screen. Magnifying-Glass Damage is damage applied while the fighter is displayed this way, at a rate of 1% per second, but stops occurring when the fighter has accumulated 150% damage. In ''Ultimate'', the size of the magnifying glass is determined by how close a player is to a blast line: the closer to a blast line, the smaller the glass gets. The edges of the glass flash yellow when the player is dangerously close to the blast line.

*Status effects such as being [[buried]] or [[frozen]] are not rendered in the magnifying glass.

*In ''Melee'', fighters in the magnifying glass have a blockier, lower-resolution model compared to ordinary gameplay. These models cannot properly emulate some animations, such as blinking, and the use of some moves or attacks can result in unusual visual behaviour. These models are also used to simulate the reflections seen on [[Fountain of Dreams]].

*The English name of "hoop damage" that comes from the ''Brawl'' website is believed to be a mistranslation of [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/jp/gamemode/various/various38.html the original] {{ja|ルーペダメージ|rūpe damēji}}, or "{{iw|wikipedia|loupe}} damage". All other games (except for ''SSB64'', which provides none) use the translation "magnifying glass".
*Oddly, in ''Brawl'', CPUs on either the blue or green team use the less saturated red team color. This was fixed in the PAL release of the game.

*In ''Ultimate'', the "side arrows" of the magnifying glass for whenever a fighter is on the side of the screen reuse port colors of human players from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. As a result, ports such as Players 2 and 4 will have their arrows a darker color, while Players 7 and 8 will have purple and slate colors instead of pink and purple, respectively.
