(It's weird. They burst like an Instant KO but also seem to have a blast line KO? It seems to exist so that opponents on the rear tentacles are KOd when the Octopus would've despawned via the blast line. I got it to work on Training but KOF is easier to see)

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.
