Like a true [[Smash Ball]], the Fake Smash Ball slowly floats through the air, although it tends to drift towards fighters and action instead. Also unlike the Smash Ball, it will occasionally zip by very quickly, usually to interfere with an attack, making it quite devious to deal with. It can be distinguished from a true Smash Ball by carefully looking at its black lines, whose thickness is switched around. When broken, it slows down time slightly and yields a colorful X-shaped explosion which deals very strong knockback to nearby players, likely including the player who broke it. | Like a true [[Smash Ball]], the Fake Smash Ball slowly floats through the air, although it tends to drift towards fighters and action instead.

==Origin== | |||
Although the Fake Smash Ball is an original Smash Bros. universe item, the inspiration for the item can be traced back to the Mario Kart series, which features [[mariowiki:Fake Item Box|Fake Item Box]]es. These items made their debut in ''Mario Kart 64''. As with the Fake Smash Ball, Fake Item Boxes are obstacles designed to look like the real thing, distinguishable only by an upside-down question mark, lack of spinning, reddish sheen, or some other mark. | |||
The explosion also resembles that of [[X Bomb]]s. | |||

* As a possible pun, the Japanese names of the Smash Ball and Fake Smash Ball ({{ja|スマッシュボール|Sumasshubōru}} and {{ja|スマッシュボーム|Sumasshubōmu}}, respectively) differ by only a single character. | * As a possible pun, the Japanese names of the Smash Ball and Fake Smash Ball ({{ja|スマッシュボール|Sumasshubōru}} and {{ja|スマッシュボーム|Sumasshubōmu}}, respectively) differ by only a single character. | ||
*For some unknown reason, the blog post for the Fake Smash Ball on the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website was removed shortly after it got posted. This appeared to only happen in American and European regions, as the blog post remained on the Japanese site. The post was eventually restored the next day, along with two other new blog posts. | *For some unknown reason, the blog post for the Fake Smash Ball on the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website was removed shortly after it got posted.
