A '''KO''', short for '''knock-out''' or '''knock-off''', commonly known as a '''death''' or a '''kill''' or even a '''finishing blow''' by [[Stamina Mode]], occurs when a player is [[knockback|launched]] beyond the [[stage]]'s [[blast line]]s by the opponent's actions used in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. The KO'd player is sent to a [[revival platform]] to re-enter the match. Losing all [[HP]] in [[Stamina Mode]] results in a KO without crossing a blast line, and some attacks and hazards can cause [[instant KO]]s without the target crossing the blast line or being launched at all.

All characters have the same KO explosion, namely, a gigantic colorful blast that extends in the direction the victim was KO'd, in the color of the player's port: Player One's explosion is red, Player Two's is blue, [[CPU]]s are grey, and so on. Only two characters have slightly different KO explosions, [[Mega Man]] and [[Luma]]: Mega Man will split up into orbs the color of his costume (alongside the normal explosion), like he does when he dies in the ''Mega Man'' series (they will sometimes not appear if many Mega Mans are KO'd at the same time), while Luma's explosion is smaller and creates colorful stars. A [[one-hit KO]] occurs when the target suffers a KO even when their damage is at 0%, while an instant KO completely bypasses knockback and damage.
