An '''instant KO''' is a type of [[KO]] which occurs instantaneously and in-place, without the fighter passing a [[blast line]] or being [[knockback|launched]] at all.

A character suffering an instant KO will disappear into a colorful [[Obliviate|starburst explosion]] and then (if they have any [[stock|stocks]] left) [[respawn]] as normal. Instant KOs were introduced as [[stage hazard]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and a greater variety of attacks and conditions causing instant KOs were added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the latter game introducing instant variations of [[Screen KO]]s, [[Blast zone]] and [[Star KO]]s. Several instant KOs require the opponent to be at a certain [[damage]] threshold in order to be instantly KO'd; otherwise they will be launched as usual. | ||

* ''Ultimate'' is the first game in the series where [[Stamina Mode]] can be played with multiple [[stock]]s. Under these conditions, fighters who lose all [[hit points|HP]] with more than one stock left suffer an instant KO and [[revival platform|respawn]], taking away one stock. When the last stock is lost, the standard Stamina Mode KO occurs with the fighter falling to the ground and lying there motionless, then exploding and disappearing for good after a short pause. | * ''Ultimate'' is the first game in the series where [[Stamina Mode]] can be played with multiple [[stock]]s.
