| | '''Ping''' is the sound effect most often associated with the [[Home Run Bat]]. It also is used for several powerful attacks. In Melee, it is possible to hit with the bat in a way that DOESN'T make a Ping, known as a [[No-Ping Hit]]. This will have more knockback than a normal hit. In Melee's trophy description for the Home-Run Bat, the sound is described as "KREEEEENG!" |

| A '''ping''' is the sound effect used for very powerful [[attack]]s, and is most often associated with the [[Home-Run Bat]]. In ''[[Brawl]]{{'}}s'' trophy description for the Home-Run Bat, the sound is described as "KREEEEENG!", while the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] variously described it as [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various08.html "PWANG!"], [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden03.html "PING!"], or [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden10.html "Pwaaaang!"]. It can be described as a sharp ascending high-pitched sound overlaid with a trailing impact sound, and hearing it usually means that a player just got hit by a very powerful attack.

| Compared to the rather generic attack noises for other attacks (especially outside of the NTSC-J versions of the game), the ping is very distinct. It is also used in the opening cutscene. In the original Japanese release, the only two attacks to use the ping sound effect were:
| | In the first game, the sound effects were vague and generic variations that might be described as "WHOCK" or "POM". The actual Ping, however, is very distinct. It is also used in the opening cutscene. The attacks that Ping are: |
| *[[Home-Run Bat]] | | *Home run Bat |
| *[[Ness]]'s [[forward smash]] | | *[[Ness]]'s Forward Smash |
| | *[[Luigi]]'s [[Fire Jump Punch]] |
| | *[[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rest]] |
|
| |
|
| In later releases in other regions, two more attacks were added: | | ==In Super Smash Bros. Melee== |
| | Here, the attacks were given more realistic and varied sound affects. There was a few additions to the previous Ping attacks: |
| | *[[Freezie]] was a bit unique in that it had a very slightly different Ping, and it made the sound whether it hit an opponent or not. |
| | *[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s [[Judgement]] #9 and #8. |
|
| |
|
| *[[Luigi]]'s [[Fire Jump Punch]] (when [[sweetspot]]ted, both grounded and aerial)
| | ==In Super Smash Bros Brawl== |
| *[[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rest]] (when the foe is hit)
| | Brawl has changed sound effects for certain items and attacks. |
| | | *Freezie no longer Pings, instead using the classic sound effect from its appearance in [[Mario Bros.]] |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''== | | *Ness's Forward Smash has been changed to sound more wooden, and "CRACK"s like a real bat. |
| Luigi's sweetspotted Fire Jump Punch now no longer pings in the air. While attacks in general in ''Melee'' were given more realistic and varied sound effects, all other pings from ''Smash 64'' carry over. New attacks that use the ping sound effect are:
| | *Luigi's [[Taunt]] now Pings also, most likely to make it more noticeable, since the [[Bonuses]] no longer indicate when one has connected successfully. It's also a joke in that most Ping attacks are excessively powerful, but the taunt only does 2% damage and moderate fixed knockback. |
| *[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s [[Judge|Judgment]] #9.
| | *In addition to the previous changes from Melee, at least one new move, [[Light Arrow]], also produces the sound. |
| *The [[Freezie]] | | {{stub}} |
| *All other [[freezing]] attacks use a quiet variation of the ping on hit.
| |
| | |
| The ping is also heard during the cutscene where [[Giga Bowser]] emerges from the defeated {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s trophy in [[Adventure Mode]].
| |
| | |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
| |
| ''Brawl'' changed sound effects for certain items and attacks, and is the only ''Smash'' game to remove pings from moves (without removing the move). Ness's forward smash has been changed to a wooden "crack", sounding more like a real bat. The Freezie now uses its traditional sound effect from ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Bros.|game}}'', and all other freezing attacks except for Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 use a different, more realistic freezing sound. The full list is now:
| |
| *5 moves from ''Melee'' still ping: the Home-Run Bat, Luigi's grounded sweetspotted Fire Jump Punch, Jigglypuff's Rest, and Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 and #9. | |
| *Luigi's down [[taunt]]
| |
| *The [[Dragoon]] (with added echo, and even if it misses)
| |
| *[[Light Arrow]]
| |
| | |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
| |
| The Dragoon no longer pings if it misses. All other pings from ''Brawl'' carry over. Two new items/attacks were added:
| |
| *[[Daybreak]] | |
| *[[Dark Pit Staff]]
| |
| | |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
| |
| For the first time, no new pings were introduced. Light Arrow is now absent from the game; {{SSBU|Zelda}} and {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s new Final Smashes, [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and [[Sheikah Dance]], use unique sound effects instead of the ping. Additionally, while {{SSBU|Link}}'s [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]] is fundamentally similar to Light Arrow and Dark Pit Staff, it also uses a unique sound effect. All other pings from ''Smash 4'' carry over.
| |
| | |
| ''Ultimate'' also introduces the [[Special Zoom]] and [[Special Zoom#Overview|Final Zoom]]. Many of the attacks that play the ping now receive their own Special Zoom, making them even more dramatic, while the Final Zoom plays a variant of the ping combined with the sound of slashing swords.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Somewhat fittingly, the Home-Run Bat is the only move to have used the ping in every regional version of every game.
| |
| *Luigi is the only character to have more than one move that uses the ping.
