In all five games, when the player loses in a one player match such as 1P Game, Classic, Adventure, or [[All-Star Mode]], they must trade {{b|gold|collectible}} in order to have an extra number of lives in [[stock]]. This is known as a '''Continue'''. Continues can occur in [[Classic Mode]], ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''{{'}}s [[1P Game]], All-Star Mode (prior to {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}), ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[Subspace Emissary]], and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s [[World of Light]]. In ''Brawl'', despite functioning like All-Star, the player has no continues in [[Boss Battles]].

In all five games, when the player loses in a one player match such as 1P Game, Classic, Adventure, or [[All-Star Mode]], they must trade [[Gold (collectible)|coins]] in order to have an extra number of lives in [[stock]]. This is known as a '''Continue'''. Continues can occur in [[Classic Mode]], ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''{{'}}s [[1P Game]], [[All-Star Mode]] (except in {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}), ''[[Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], ''[[Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[Subspace Emissary]], and ''[[Ultimate]]''{{'}}s [[World of Light]]. Despite its similarity in format to All-Star Mode, [[Boss Battles Mode]] does not allow players to continue upon being KO'd.


==In Classic, Adventure, and All-Star==
==In Classic, Adventure, and All-Star==
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.

If they choose "Yes", however, then the game continues, with the player regaining all their lives and continuing the game as usual.


Continuing the game cuts the total score the player earned in half. In addition, in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', continues cause the player to trade a fixed number of coins in order to continue, with higher difficulties costing a higher number of coins.
Continuing the game in these three games will cut the total score the player earned in half; however, they also gain one point for each continue. In addition, ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' continues will cause the player to trade a fixed number of coins in order to continue. Higher difficulties mean higher loss of coins, except for ''Melee''{{'}}s [[All-Star Mode]], in which continues always cost 10 coins on all difficulties.


In ''Melee'', in both {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} and [[Adventure Mode]], the values are:

*Hard = 5 coins

If the player completes the game on any difficulty in any of these modes by using a continue, the "Continuation" bonus in ''Melee'' or the "Used a Continue bonus" in ''Brawl'' is given, worth −20,000 points.
If the player cleared the game on any difficulty in Classic Mode, Adventure Mode, or All-Star Mode by using continues, the "Continuation" bonus in ''Melee'' or the "Used a Continue bonus" in ''Brawl'' is given, worth −20,000 points.


In [[Boss Battles Mode]] in ''Brawl'', if the player is KO'd, it's an immediate game over, and they're taken back to the character selection screen.
In {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}, continuing is only possible in Classic Mode. Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the player does not use their funds to continue. Instead, it removes some 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 {{for3ds}}.


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.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the player can continue by spending Gold to lower the intensity or by using a Classic Ticket without lowering the intensity. Upon continuing, the match will start from where the player left off, unlike in other ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. The Third option is "Quit" and the player sees the final results earlier than completing the modes like in ''Smash 4''.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the player can continue by spending Gold to lower the intensity or by using a Classic Ticket without lowering the intensity. Upon continuing, the match will start from where the player left off, unlike previous installments.
==Subspace Emissary==
[[File:GameOverSSE.png|200px|left|thumb|The Continue screen from the Subspace Emissary.]]
[[File:GameOverSSE2.png|200px|right|thumb|The Game Over screen from the Subspace Emissary.]]
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", it's game over and they get to save and automatically return to the Solo menu. Both options cause the player to lose all stickers and trophies they had collected in the level. A Game Over screen appears for "Quit", but not "Back to Map". Unlike Classic and All-Star Mode, continuing in the Subspace Emissary does not cost coins, but it does carry other consequences.


Note that upon using a Continue, it will be impossible to get the highest intensity, which is 9.9 (unless the player was already at 9.9 intensity); otherwise, the highest the player can get is a maximum of 9.8.
If the player chooses "Get Up" in the Subspace Emissary, they can gain an extra set of lives in stock; and these events occur:


The amount of Gold required to Continue is based on the current intensity, these are the values:
*The number of stickers and trophies, including those obtained by the [[Trophy Stand]], attained in the stage is halved. Anything attained from Golden Boxes, however, cannot be lost.
 
*Intensity 0.0 - 3.9 = 50 Gold
*Intensity 4.0 - 6.9 = 100 Gold
*Intensity 7.0 - 9.9 = 200 Gold

If the player chooses "Get Up" in The Subspace Emissary, they regain all stock that has been lost, and the following events occur:
 
*The number of stickers and trophies (including those obtained by the [[Trophy Stand]]) attained in the stage is halved. Anything attained from Golden Boxes, however, cannot be lost.
*The player respawns at the last opened [[door]] or at the start of the level.

If a player fails a match in World of Light, they will be given the chance to challenge the fight again by selecting Rematch. 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.

==Trivia==
*From ''Melee'' onward, continuing results in the player's score being increased by one. This is used to show how many times the player has continued.
*Continuing results in the player's score being increased by one. This is used to show how many times the player has continued.
**Unlike later games, the score cut in ''Melee'' rounds the last digit down to zero before the increase, consequently only showing that the player continued at least once.
**{{s|Icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}, a game also directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], also uses this system.
**''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', a game also directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], also uses this system.
*''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' do not actually display a Game Over message should the player choose not to continue; the game will simply display the player's score for that run and, depending on how far they went, the Final Results screen.
*Although the "Continue" screen is overridden by an instant Game Over state if the player runs out of coins, the "Yes" and "No" buttons aren't affected and will appear unless a Game Over occurs after the trophy lands. If automatic continuation is the default action with a Game Over state, the score still deducts in half, but the current amount of coins are kept.
