When the player runs out of stocks, they are faced with a screen where the [[announcer]] asks if they wish to continue. In the [[1P Game]] of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the player can continue as many times as they wish, with points being sliced in half down from the score with a point added in, regardless of how many continues are used, though waiting a few seconds longer results a Game Over. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', however, the player will not have a choice to continue if they do not have enough {{b|coin|collectable}}s to pay; they are instead given a Game Over, returning to the menu. If sufficient funds are available, then the player can choose whether or not to continue. If the player chooses "no" and decides to exit, a Game Over still occurs. If they choose "Yes", however, then the game continues, with the player regaining all their lives and continuing the game as usual. In ''Melee'', the player can own up to 999 coins, while in ''Brawl'', they can own up to 9,999.  

In {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}, continuing is only possible in Classic Mode. Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the player no longer uses their funds to continue. Instead, it removes a few of the rewards that the player has attained to that point and drops the intensity by 0.5, down to no lower than a minimum of 2.0. A "Game Over" is actually shown before choosing to continue in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. Unlike the previous two installments, in All-Star in ''Smash 4'', similar to Boss Battles in ''Brawl'', if the player is KO'd or running out of time, there is no option to continue and the player is given a game over, shown as the final results display screen, and taken back to the character selection screen.

When the player runs out of stock in The Subspace Emissary, they are faced with a similar choice whether to continue or not. However, there are now three options; Get Up, Back to Map, and Quit. If the player chooses "Back to Map", then they exit the level and can choose another. If they chose "Quit", the player will be given the choice to save their progress and is returned to the Solo menu. Both options cause the player to lose half of all stickers and trophies they had collected in the level. A Game Over screen appears for "Quit", but not for "Back to Map". Unlike Classic and All-Star Mode, continuing in the Subspace Emissary does not cost coins, but it does carry other consequences.

If a player fails a match in World of Light, they will be given the chance to challenge the fight again by selecting Rematch, to change their party by selecting Change Party, or to return to the map by selecting Quit. Their primary spirit will gain experience, like it does when a match is won, but in a noticeably smaller amount. The player can retry a match as many times as they want to, with no penalty.

 

In the {{b|final stage|World of Light}}, which is split into three phases, selecting Rematch allows one to continue from the beginning of the current phase, with all three stock intact.
