The '''revival platform''' is a special platform in all ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games that appears after a player has been [[KO]]'d. Provided the player is not out of [[stock]]s, they will respawn on a platform floating above the center of the [[stage]]. The platform disappears as soon as the player moves or attacks. If the player does not act, the platform will disappear by itself after 5 seconds; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', this time limit is represented by a section of the platform that gradually changes color from yellow to red. The platform cannot be boarded by any other character. If multiple players are KO'd at or nearly at the same time, then more than one platform can be on the screen at once, one for each KO'd player, appearing next to each other. If 5 or more characters are KO'd around the same time, some revival platforms will be above others.

The revived character is [[invincible]] the entire time they are on the platform. This may be used to avoid temporary dangers such as an opponent using a [[Final Smash]]. In addition, many players utilize the invincibility to plan out their strategy and gather their thoughts. After dropping down from the platform, the character has a further period of invincibility to aid their descent. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' the longer a character stays on the platform the shorter their invincibility time will be after they drop down.

After dropping down from the platform, the character has a further period of invincibility to aid their descent. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the period of invincibility after leaving the platforms is decreased proportionally to the amount of the time the player spent waiting on the platforms, making the total amount of invincibility roughly the same no matter when the player chooses to drop down.


CPUs generally exit the revival platform immediately; however, high-level CPUs tend to wait on the platform for as long as possible during a transformation Final Smash, or when a player on screen is using a powerful item, such as a [[Golden Hammer]].
