'''Time''' is the default rule setting in [[Versus Mode]] in which the winner is determined by whoever gains the most points when the [[match timer]] reaches a [[time out]]. A point is gained by [[KO]]'ing an opponent, while [[fall]]ing or [[self-destruct]]ing causes a player to lose a point. A [[team attack]] KO causes both the attacker and the KO'd player to lose a point. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the number of points lost for SD'ing can be changed to 0, 1, or 2. This returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', but 0 is no longer an option. The number of points each player has is usually invisible during play, although it can be made visible through the unlockable [[Score Display]] setting from ''Melee'' onward or during replays in ''Brawl'', or revealed through the big screen on [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. In ''Ultimate'', the player with the most points will occasionally glow regardless of whether the score display is enabled.

If there is a tie for the most points when time expires, [[Sudden Death]] occurs between all tied players. The player who scores the final hit wins Sudden Death and therefore the match.

The length of a match can be set to any whole number of minutes from 1 to 99, as well as infinite time for a match that cannot end without quitting via [[resetting]] or manually shutting off the game console. In addition, ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' includes two additional lengths: 1:30 and 2:30.

==Trivia==
*In a demo of {{forwiiu}}, a match lasted 1 minute and 30 seconds, which cannot occur in regular gameplay; but it can in ''Ultimate''.
*The [[Training mode]] in all the games is programmed as an infinite time match.
*{{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}}, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], [[Suzaku Castle]] and [[Moray Towers]] are the only stages in which the music changes when there are 30 seconds left in a timed match.
**In Suzaku Castle's case, this only happens if the music currently playing is {{SSB4MusicLink|Street Fighter|Ryu Stage Type A}}/[[List of SSB4 Music (Street Fighter series)#Ryu Stage Type B|B]] or {{SSB4MusicLink|Street Fighter|Ken Stage Type A}}/[[List of SSB4 Music (Street Fighter series)#Ken Stage Type B|B]], as well as the stage themes of E. Honda, Chun-Li, Blanka, Zangief, Guile, Dhalsim, Balrog, Sagat, Vega, M. Bison, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, Fei Long, and Cammy in ''Ultimate'' with both types.
**In Moray Towers' case, this occurs if a regular song from either ''Splatoon'' game is used depending on which game in the ''Splatoon'' series.
