If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away and is lost until another spawns in. However, the longer it is flying around, the easier it is to break. It can also be lost if broken by something not attributed to a fighter, including stage hazards (for example, [[Norfair]]'s lava) and certain items (such as the later parts of a [[Smart Bomb]] explosion). Smash Balls are also affected by [[glancing blow]]s; the Smash Ball will not take damage but will be pushed away. While a character is in standby mode, no Smash Balls will appear until the Final Smash is used (or the Smash Ball is dropped), meaning that only one Final Smash can be used at a time.

The apparent physics of the Smash Ball tends to vary. While it will often bounce off of walls and [[hard platform]]s, it will occasionally pass through them. The amount of [[knockback]] it takes also varies; sometimes, it will take an attack without even changing its trajectory, and other times an attack will send it halfway across a stage or even outside of the visible boundaries. Like with characters, the camera will be pulled out so the Smash Ball stays visible, so a Smash Ball sent off the screen can pull the camera away from the characters. Smash Balls do not vanish by being forced off the stage; however, it may take a while before it roams back to the stage, and it may wander across the boundary for an extended period of time without returning to the stage and then vanish.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', in addition to the above, there is a 50% chance that a Smash Ball will spawn with physics akin to the [[Soccer Ball]]: it will lie flat on the ground unless on a slope, where it will roll down. In this state, if it is not broken in time, the Smash Ball will, instead of floating away from the stage, vanish as a normal item would. If it falls off the stage into the bottom [[blast zone]], it will respawn on the stage. Smash Balls, in general, are a lot more durable than their appearances in the past two games.

In matches with a [[Final Smash Meter]], Smash Balls can still appear if they are switched on. Breaking one under these circumstances will instantly fill a fighter's meter. However, there is a downside: the Smash Ball can still be knocked out of the player by opponents, and if this happens the meter will empty completely, rather than returning to its previous charge.
