The '''final countdown timer''' counts down the last five seconds before a [[time out]], ending after "TIME!" ("TIME UP" in other regions). It also appears in single-player modes like [[Race to the Finish]] and [[Trophy Rush]].

In ''Smash 64'', the timer is only present via the announcer. From ''Melee'' onwards, the timer uses large numbers in the top center of the screen, with each number getting subsequently larger (except in {{forwiiu}} and ''Ultimate''). Just like the pre-match timer and the "GO!" message, the numbers have a different color. In ''Melee'', the numbers are crimson before it was changed to red in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', and then to silver in ''Ultimate''. The timer's appearance activates [[equipment]] with the Countdown bonus effect, and from ''Smash 4'' onwards, prevents [[Star KO]]s, [[Screen KO]]s, and [[Special Zoom#Finish Zoom|Finish Zoom]].

==Trivia==
*When there are only thirty seconds left, the current music changes on some stages. This applies to five stages: {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}}, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], [[Suzaku Castle]], and [[Moray Towers]].
*Some stages play unique music tracks when only thirty seconds on the timer remain:
**In Suzaku Castle's case, this applies to music taken directly from ''Street Fighter II'' or ''Super Street Fighter II'' (barring ''Player Select Type A'' and ''B'' in ''Ultimate'').
** {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}} (SSB), {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}} (Melee), and [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] play the "Hurry Up!" theme from {{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.}}
**In Moray Towers' case, this applies to music taken directly from ''Splatoon'' or ''Splatoon 2'' (with the exceptions of ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Split & Splat}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Octoweaponry}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|I Am Octavio}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Calamari Inkantation}}'', and ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Deluge Dirge}}'').
**[[Suzaku Castle]] changes to the "low health" version of tracks taken directly from ''Street Fighter II'' or ''Super Street Fighter II'' (barring ''Player Select Type A'' and ''B'' in ''Ultimate'').
**In version {{h2|List of updates (SSBU)|8.1.0}} of ''Ultimate''; Battlefield, Final Destination, Small Battlefield, and Big Battlefield share the same trait when using stage music from ''Street Fighter'', ''Splatoon'' or ''Super Mario''.
**[[Moray Towers]] changes to an abridged version of "Now or Never!"  (with the exceptions of ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Split & Splat}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Octoweaponry}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|I Am Octavio}}'', ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Calamari Inkantation}}'', and ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Deluge Dirge}}'').
**Additionally, [[Hollow Bastion]] will change to Dive to the Heart when there are only thirty seconds left.
**As of version {{h2|List of updates (SSBU)|8.1.0}} of ''Ultimate''; Battlefield, Final Destination, Small Battlefield, and Big Battlefield also play these unique tracks if an applicable song happens to play and the timer reduces to thirty seconds.
**The timer reaching thirty seconds also triggers [[Hollow Bastion]] to change to Dive to the Heart.
