A tie happens when at least two characters or teams have the same final [[score]] at the end of a [[Time]] match, the same amount of stocks at the end of a timed [[Stock]] match, the same amount of [[Smash Coins and Bills|coins]] at the end of a [[Coin Battle]], or the same total score at the end of a [[Bonus (mode)|Bonus]] match. In an untimed Stock match, Sudden Death is possible if all remaining characters lose their last stock on the same frame. | ||
When Sudden Death occurs, the words "Sudden Death" will appear on-screen and the match will restart with only the players involved in the tie, all of whom are given one [[stock]] and 300% [[damage]], making them very easy to [[KO]] in a single hit. In effect, this makes it so the first player to land a hit on their opponent(s) wins the tiebreaker and therefore the match. With the exception of the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', items will not spawn at this time even if they are turned on. | When Sudden Death occurs, the words "Sudden Death" will appear on-screen and the match will restart with only the players involved in the tie, all of whom are given one [[stock]] and 300% [[damage]], making them very easy to [[KO]] in a single hit.
