It is present in all games except the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''

When a fighter is off-screen but not past the blast line, they are still shown inside a small hoop known as the Magnifying Glass<ref name="Magnifying-Glass Damage"/><ref>[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] - ''Lost in Space'' bonus</ref> at the edge of the camera boundary. Magnifying-Glass Damage is damage applied while the fighter is displayed this way. It is applied at a rate of 1% per second, but stops occurring when the fighter has accumulated 150% damage. In ''Ultimate'', the size of the magnifying glass is determined by how close a player is to a blast line: the closer to a blast line, the smaller the glass gets. The edges of the glass flash yellow when the player is dangerously close to the [[blast line]].

Magnifying-Glass Damage does not occur in [[Training Mode]] nor in the [[All-Star Rest Area]] in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. In [[The Subspace Emissary]], if Player 2 is in a situation that would usually trigger the effect, they instead usually [[Space Jump]]. [[Charizard]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Kirby]], and to a lesser extent, [[King K. Rool]], all have [[up throw]]s that send them above the upper blast line with the accompanying Magnifying Glass, but they do not take damage as a result.

*In ''Melee'', fighters in the Magnifying Glass have a blockier, lower-resolution model compared to ordinary gameplay. These models cannot properly emulate some animations, such as blinking, and the use of some moves or attacks can result in unusual visual behaviour. These models are also used to simulate the reflections seen on [[Fountain of Dreams]].
