The '''final countdown timer''' is an element that appears at the end of a match. When there are only five seconds remaining, the match timer will disappear (except for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''), and the announcer will start to count down with each number getting bigger onscreen (the numbers are the same size in ''Smash for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'') before calling out "TIME!" ("TIME UP!" in the Japanese version and original game) to signal the end of the match. When that word appears onscreen, a winner will be chosen based on the highest total score each fighter/team has during the match, depending on the [[mode|game mode]]. Players who are tied will face off in a [[Sudden Death]] match to break the tie. | The '''final countdown timer''' is an element that appears at the end of a match.

In [[competitive play]], this event is usually referred to as a "[[time out]]"; sometimes it is performed intentionally in order to win by [[stock]] or [[percent]]age lead alone. In addition to [[VS. match]]es, the timer appears in single-player modes like [[Race to the Finish (disambiguation)|Race to the Finish]] and [[Trophy Rush]]. If [[Target Blast]] and the [[Home-Run Contest]] is played, then "TIME!" won't be called after the last second appeared. If a timed [[Multi-Man]] game is played, then the announcer will call out "GAME!" ("GAME SET" in the Japanese version) when time is up. | In [[competitive play]], this event is usually referred to as a "[[time out]]"; sometimes it is performed intentionally in order to win by [[stock]] or [[percent]]age lead alone.
