In ''Smash 64'', the duration allotted for Star KOs, along with Screen KOs, are noticeably longer than in ''Melee'' onward. Depending on the camera angle, the victim will often not become visible until nearly after they finish their Star KO voice clip, making the animation not synchronize with the voice clip, with the exception of {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Mario}}, whose Star KO voice clip is slightly longer than the rest of cast.

With the exception of {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSB|Samus}}, {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSB|Ness}} and {{SSB|Kirby}}, whose voice clips are unique to ''Super Smash Bros.'', the rest of the cast use re-purposed voice clips for their Star KO:
Mario uses his falling voice clip from ''Super Mario 64'' while Star KO'd; {{SSB|Luigi}} uses Mario's "burnt" voice clip from the same game, albeit being noticeably higher pitched. {{SSB|Link}} also uses his similar voice clip from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', and {{SSB|Yoshi}} uses his defeat voice clip from ''Yoshi's Story''. {{SSB|Samus}}, who doesn't vocalize usually, also emits a sound effect while while Star KO'd.
 
*Mario uses his voice clip ''Super Mario 64'' when he falls from high ground.
* {{SSB|Luigi}} uses Mario's scream from getting burned, also derived from ''Super Mario 64'', albeit being noticeably higher pitched.
*{{SSB|Link}} uses the second variant of his falling voice clip from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''.
*{{SSB|Yoshi}} uses his defeat voice clip from ''Yoshi's Story''.  
*Pikachu has its Star KO voice derived from the ''Pokémon'' anime.

Star KOs in ''Brawl'' are generally identical to its appearance in ''Melee'', but the voice clips are given a reverberating effect, similar to those used for [[Final Smash]]es and the [[announcer]]'s voice, as if the victim is far away from the stage (though they are actually added by the game rather than their sound files being echoed, albeit still fading out at the end). Oddly, in [[Flat Zone 2]] and [[Hanenbow]], if the victim's status conditions are still in effect, they will not be aligned with the character (i.e. the frozen block and character fly off separately).

For the first time in the series, ''Brawl'' introduces a character who is silent while being Star KO'd, that being {{SSBB|Olimar}} (even though ''Pikmin 2'' gave him a canon voice). Additionally, there are a handful of characters who shout "No!" while being Star KO'd, which are {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}}, as well as veteran {{SSBB|Peach}}. {{SSBB|Kirby}} similarly makes an "Iyah!" sound, a Japanese phrase for expressing dismay or shock, while {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} emit a howl and multiple beeps respectively while Star KO'd. {{SSBB|Samus}} and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s Star KO sounds are also renewed.

*If the camera zooms out enough on certain large stages, the "trick" of the Star KOs can be revealed: once the defeated character hits the upper blast line, they get shifted toward the background as their tumble animation starts, before reappearing onscreen for the KO animation.  This can be seen best in the Camera mode in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', by maneuvering the camera into a certain position. This trick can also be revealed in ''Ultimate'' using the camera's frame-by-frame controls.

*If the cage the [[Mii]] resides inside on the [[Find Mii]] stage sustains sufficient damage, the Mii and the cage will be Star KO'd, though no sound effects play when this occurs.
