{{technical data|duration formula, and paralysis multiplier for all the moves}}

Debuting in ''[[Brawl]]'', there are a few attacks in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros.]]'' series that can cause the rare '''paralyze''' effect. Targets hit by these attacks will be frozen in place for a short period of time, shaking back and forth, before taking knockback. The duration that the paralysis lasts for depends on how much knockback the move will do, and a unique paralysis multiplier attached to each paralyzing move. As such, moves that have knockback scaling (rather than fixed knockback like [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Paralyzer]]) will paralyze the opponent for longer as their percent increases. There is also a cap on how long a player can be paralyzed for. The user of the paralyzing effect can follow up with a smash attack or other powerful move during the paralysis, making the effect very strong. Repeatedly using a paralyzing attack will not increase the duration of the effect. This is often confused with the [[electric]] and [[stun]] effects.

The vast majority of paralyzing attacks are either [[Final Smash]]es, [[custom moves]], or the effects of certain [[item]]s or [[Smash Run]] [[enemies]]. Extremely few standard characters' moves can paralyze.

This is the only status that can affect other things besides characters, like items, causing them to shake.

The paralyze effect is [[weight]] independent, but [[Armor|knockback resistance]] (such as from the [[Metal Box]]) is not ignored.
