Editing Smash Ball

| image        = [[File:SSBU spirit Smash Ball.png|250px]]

When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the [[crowd]] gasps, at which point the Smash Ball will begin to roam around the stage freely, avoiding players in the lead and hovering around players trailing behind. To use the Smash Ball, one must first break it by attacking it; any assistants such as [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon and [[Assist Trophies]] can help break the Smash Ball for the character who summoned them. A 'fresh' Smash Ball can take around 43% [[damage]]. When a player successfully breaks one, the screen darkens, and the player whose [[attack]] broke the Smash Ball goes into 'standby mode', in which the character's eyes turn yellow and their body begins to glow a rainbow color. In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', an additional aesthetic occurs where the entire screen fades into a deep grey color and causes everything to look dark except the player with the Final Smash, who glows with the Smash Ball's colors. The Final Smash can then be unleashed at any time by pressing the input for a [[neutral special move]]. Players can attack a fighter in standby mode to make them "drop" the Smash Ball, at which point it will begin roaming the stage again. After using a Final Smash, the character is no longer in standby mode and must break another Smash Ball to use a Final Smash again. When the attack ends, the terrain will also go back to its standard colors.

If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away and is lost until another spawns in. However, the longer it is flying around, the easier it is to break. It can also be lost if broken by something not attributed to a fighter, including stage hazards (for example, [[Norfair]]'s lava) and certain items (such as the later parts of a [[Smart Bomb]] explosion). Smash Balls are also affected by [[glancing blow]]s; the Smash Ball will not take damage but will be pushed away. While a character is in standby mode, no Smash Balls will appear until the Final Smash is used (or the Smash Ball is dropped), meaning that only one Final Smash can be used at a time.

===In '' Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

|image=Smash Ball - Brawl Trophy.png

|desc=A mighty item. Each character has a unique secret technique known as a Final Smash that can only be used when that character acquires a Smash Ball. Use it well, and you'll be one huge step closer to victory. It can turn the battle's tide, help you put the finishing touches on a complete thrashing, or even provide a chaotic finish that's sure to leave you laughing until you cry.

|desc-ntsc=This item can truly turn the tide of battle. Once broken open, a character's Final Smash will be unlocked. If your opponent collects this, you'd better brace yourself for a powerful special move. This item is pretty durable and floats around the stage, so timing and positioning are key.

|desc-pal=A special item that lets one lucky fighter unleash their Final Smash, a secret move unique to them. Though it's a one-off opportunity that won't come around very often, this ultra-powerful attack could prove the key to victory! Smash Balls take a few hits to crack, so good timing and placement are absolutely essential.

*When {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} is using its deflating (down) [[taunt]] when it has the Smash Ball, a glowing ball of energy will appear. This is the Smash Ball's form inside the character that broke it.

**This can also be slightly seen in {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s up taunt.

*If all three [[Dragoon]] or [[Daybreak]] parts are in play, a Smash Ball will not appear until the Dragoon has been summoned or the Daybreak has been created. If a Smash Ball is in play, a third part will also not appear (one or two parts may appear, but a third part will not). This is to prevent the Dragoon or Daybreak and a Final Smash from appearing on the screen at the same time (doing so could cause a Dragoon and {{SSBB|Snake}}'s [[Grenade Launcher]] to have targeting sights on the screen at the same time). The same applies to [[Mr. Resetti]].

**Similarly, in [[Training Mode]], if a Dragoon or Daybreak part is spawned while a Smash Ball is on the field, the Smash Ball will disappear. If a Smash Ball is spawned, any Dragoon or Daybreak parts on the field that are not currently being held will disappear.

*In ''SSB4''{{'}}s and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Training mode]], the Smash Ball is much weaker, taking around one hit before breaking. In ''Brawl'', it acts as it would normally in a match.
