-The '''final countdown timer''' is an element that appears at the end of a match. When there are only five seconds remaining, the match timer will disappear (except for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''), and the announcer will start to count the time down. Afterwards, the announcer will call "TIME!" ("TIME UP!" in the Japanese and Korean version of ''Melee'' onwards, Chinese version of ''Ultimate'', as well as the original game in all regions; except for [[Target Blast]] and the [[Home-Run Contest]]) to signal the end of the match and decide a winner, or commence a [[Sudden Death]] match to break the tie.

Afterwards, the announcer will call "TIME!" ("TIME UP!" in the Japanese version for ''Melee'' onwards, the Korean version for ''Brawl'' onwards and the Chinese version of ''Ultimate'', as well as the original game in all regions; except for [[Target Blast]] and the [[Home-Run Contest]]) to signal the end of the match and decide a winner, or commence a [[Sudden Death]] match to break the tie.
 In [[competitive play]], this event is usually referred to as a "[[time out]]"; sometimes it is performed intentionally in order to win by [[stock]] or [[percent]]age lead alone. In addition to [[VS. match]]es, the timer appears in single-player modes like {{B|Race to the Finish|disambiguation}} and [[Trophy Rush]].
