When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the [[crowd]] gasps, at which point the Smash Ball will begin to roam around the stage freely | When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the [[crowd]] gasps, at which point the Smash Ball will begin to roam around the stage freely. To use the Smash Ball, one must first break it by attacking it; any assistants such as [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon and [[Assist Trophies]] can help break the Smash Ball for the character who summoned them. A 'fresh' Smash Ball can take around 43% [[damage]]. When a player successfully breaks one, the screen darkens, and the player whose [[attack]] broke the Smash Ball goes into 'standby mode', in which the character's eyes turn yellow and their body begins to glow a rainbow color. In ''SSB4'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros Ultimate|Ultimate]]'', an additional aesthetic occurs where the entire screen fades into a deep grey color and causes everything to look dark except the player with the Final Smash, who glows with the Smash Ball's colors. The Final Smash can then be unleashed at any time by pressing the input for a [[neutral special move]]. Players can attack a fighter in standby mode to make them "drop" the Smash Ball, at which point it will begin roaming the stage again. After using a Final Smash, the character is no longer in standby mode and must break another Smash Ball to use a Final Smash again. When the attack ends, the terrain will also go back to its standard colors. | ||
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. | If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away and is lost until another spawns in.

The Smash Ball takes the form of a floating [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] that cycles through different colors of the rainbow and is surrounded by an aura of colorful light. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the Smash Ball also leaves a trail of color behind it, and the aura of light is much more intense. | The Smash Ball takes the form of a floating [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] that cycles through different colors of the rainbow and is surrounded by an aura of colorful light.

''A mighty item. Each character has a unique secret technique known as a Final Smash that can only be used when that character acquires a Smash Ball. Use it well, and you'll be one huge step closer to victory. It can turn the battle's tide, help you put the finishing touches on a complete thrashing, or even provide a chaotic finish that's sure to leave you laughing until you cry.'' | |||

| | :{{Flag|North America}} ''This item can truly turn the tide of battle. Once broken open, a character's Final Smash will be unlocked. If your opponent collects this, you'd better brace yourself for a powerful move. This item is pretty durable and floats around the stage, so timing and positioning are key.'' | ||
| | :{{Flag|Europe}} ''A special item that lets one lucky fighter unleash their Final Smash, a secret move unique to them. Though it's a one-off opportunity that won't come around very often, this ultra-powerful attack could prove the key to victory! Smash Balls take a few hits to crack, so good timing and placement are absolutely essential.'' | ||
