Most conditions on the characters, such as the invincibility of the [[Super Star]] or standby mode after breaking the [[Smash Ball]], are still visible on the characters while they are Star KO'd. Exceptions include [[metal]] characters in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' (unless while playing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'''s single player modes), [[giant]] or [[tiny]] characters due to [[Super Mushroom|Super]] or [[Poison Mushroom]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and [[frozen]] characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In [[Flat Zone 2]] and [[Hanenbow]], conditions are not aligned with the character (i.e. the frozen block and character fly off separately). | Most conditions on the characters, such as the invincibility of the [[Super Star]] or standby mode after breaking the [[Smash Ball]], are still visible on the characters while they are Star KO'd.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Star KOs are no longer a certainty; the upper blast line will cause either a Blast KO, a Star KO, or a Screen KO at random. Players launched at extremely high speeds, however, are not Star KO'd or Screen KO'd. In addition, presumably as to solve balance issues, Star KOs no longer occur when there's only [[Match timer#Final countdown timer|five seconds remaining in a timed match]] and in [[Sudden Death]] ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KthcgK6Mojs| unless an unknown glitch occurs] or in [[Trophy Rush]].); Screen KOs were increased in length, and as a result, Star KOs actually last shorter than Screen KOs. In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', all playable characters have a voice clip for being Star KO'd (including [[Samus]]), while {{SSBB|Olimar}} lacks one in ''Brawl''; ''SSB4'' later introduces more characters that remain completely silent when Star KO'd, with these being {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s, {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, {{SSB4|Villager}} and the wireframe version of {{SSB4|Little Mac}}. ''Ultimate'' adds {{SSBU|Isabelle}}. | In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Star KOs are no longer a certainty; the upper blast line will cause either a Blast KO, a Star KO, or a Screen KO at random.

In ''Ultimate'', the characters now tumble away from the screen and go a much further distance away from the stage. Characters also now use a sideways version of their tumbling animations. The star is also now a purple color. Players can also be Star KO'd regardless of knockback speed, like the first three ''Smash'' games. | In ''Ultimate'', the characters now tumble away from the screen and go a much further distance away from the stage.
