Editing KO Stars

:''Not to be confused with [[Star KO]].''

'''Knockout Stars''' are "medallions" for [[KO]]ing opponents in the [[Versus Mode]] or [[online play]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', displayed at the bottom of each [[player]]'s [[character selection screen]] panel. The amount of KO Stars received increases by one for each KO a player scored. ''Melee'' allows players to have a maximum of only 255 KO Stars at a time. Any KOs achieved after players have attained have 255 KOs will not reward them with a KO Star. In ''Brawl'' onwards, this limit is extended to 999 KO Stars.

The design of KO Stars have changed in each new iteration of the game. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' they are yellow 5-pointed stars (''Melee''{{'}}s has a more pronounced shadow than ''Brawl''{{'}}s) that increase in number up until 5, any more and it will be a single star with a tallied number to its right. ''for Nintendo 3DS'' uses a single white star along with the numerical value, regardless of how many KOs. ''for Wii U'' completely omitted a numerical value and added designs with colors and accents that were tallied into groups. ''Ultimate'' shows a medallion with a star in it, always showing the number of KOs like in ''for Nintendo 3DS''.

KO Stars are reset to zero once the players exit the mode or (prior to ''Ultimate'') change their [[name]]. [[CPU]] players do not earn KO Stars.
