The [[Nintendo Switch]] handles game crashes different from previous consoles. The console will not freeze or make a buzzing noise and instead will automatically close a crashed game with a message saying that the game closed because an error occurred. This failsafe is meant for the game to be shut off cleanly without the player forcing the console to shut off and potentially break or corrupt any software or firmware. If a game is stored on a Game Card or an SD card, removing the Game Card or SD card will crash the game with an error message, with the system shutting down in the latter case. While several methods of crashing ''Ultimate'' have been discovered, most have been patched out with game updates following their discoveries like ''Smash 4'' before it. | The [[Nintendo Switch]] handles game crashes different from previous consoles.

Just like the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo 3DS before it, ''Ultimate'' can crash if the connection between the game card and the Nintendo Switch is disrupted, as well as the connection between the Switch and MicroSD card. The Nintendo Switch is the most resilient against these occurences due to both devices being completely covered during normal playing methods and can only occur intentionally or through catastrophic system failures. | |||
A game crash that technically persists to this day was introduced with the release of {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, where the game is prone to crash while playing on [[All-Star Mode]] as said character, even corrupting save data. What is notable is that Nintendo has officially stated that they are unable to identify this source of this issue. The generally agreed upon theory for this crash occuring is that the game acts unusually with certain brands of SD card, which several of the affected player happened to be using.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/anbt2a/game_data_corrupted_while_playing_pikachu_online/</ref> | |||
Repeatedly using {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Pocket]] to 'play catch' with their forward aerials would crash the game before being patched in version 2.0.0. Additionally, under the proper circumstances, a {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} can crash the game if they use [[Gale Stab]] during {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}'s [[Wild Gunman]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg7sK7n2yR8] before being patched in the same update; however, a similar glitch in Century Smash persisted, involving the Mii Swordfighter and Duck Hunt{{fact}}. | |||
Aiming {{SSBU|Pit}}'s Final Smash, [[Lightning Chariot]], beyond the blast zone on certain stages will make the game crash. Using {{SSBU|Joker}}'s Final Smash, [[All-Out Attack]], to finish certain {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} matches can make the game {{s|wiktionary|softlock}}; though it does not crash, it stops responding to inputs, forcing the player to reset the game anyway. [https://twitter.com/TKOWL/status/1118725039690604545] The lock was likely due to its unique property of going straight to the results screen upon completion; however, it does not occur on the [[Spirit Board]]. Both of these glitches have been patched as of 3.0.1. | Aiming {{SSBU|Pit}}'s Final Smash, [[Lightning Chariot]], beyond the blast zone on certain stages will make the game crash.

If a {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} uses [[Counter Throw]] on an {{SSBU|Incineroar}} using [[Alolan Whip]] on another opponent, thereby leaving said opponent in a state of being invulnerable to grabs, the game will crash if the opponent is KO'd. Certain custom stage layouts crash the game if a character attempts to grab the ledge. The former glitch was patched in 3.1.0, and the latter was patched in 4.0.0. | If a {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} uses [[Counter Throw]] on an {{SSBU|Incineroar}} using [[Alolan Whip]] on another opponent, thereby leaving said opponent in a state of being invulnerable to grabs, the game will crash if the opponent is KO'd.

While the opponent is under effect of the Zoroark + Hammer freeze glitch, th [[Final Smash]]es [[Darkness Illusion]], [[Great Aether]], and [[Omega Blitz]] would crash the game before the glitch was patched in version 6.1.0. | |||
The process of hovering the cursor on {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, {{SSBU|Big Battlefield}}, [[Small Battlefield]] or {{SSBU|Final Destination}} on the stage selection screen, going to the music selection screen, selecting a specific song, pausing said song, going back to the universe menu, selecting “all” and choosing the hovered stage would cause the game to crash before being patched in version 8.1.0. This crash is notable for being the only known crash caused outside of regular gameplay. | |||
Before 9.0.2, {{SSBU|Steve}} could crash the game by mining a curved rotating platform in a Stage Builder stage. Additionally, if any fighter stands on an extremely jagged point on a platform in Stage Builder, the game can also crash. | Before 9.0.2, {{SSBU|Steve}} could crash the game by mining a curved rotating platform in a Stage Builder stage.
