Blast lines are usually placed beyond the borders of the screen in which the stage is shown. | ||
There are four blast lines, usually referred to as "bottom"/"lower", "left", "right", and "upper"/"ceiling" (alternatively, "north"/"south"/"east"/"west"). From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, a diagonal-pointing explosion is displayed if a character is KO'd in a corner, but this is only to improve the explosion's visibility. | There are four blast lines, usually referred to as "bottom"/"lower", "left", "right", and "upper"/"ceiling" (alternatively, "north"/"south"/"east"/"west").

Items and projectiles that cross the blast lines are removed from play (except for, again, the upper blast line). The [[Soccer Ball]] in ''SSB4'' and beyond is an exception, warping back onto the stage if it crosses a blast line. Also a [[Smash Ball]] can freely cross blast lines until it leaves gameplay either by disappearing or being used. | Items and projectiles that cross the blast lines are removed from play (except for, again, the upper blast line).

*On the {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}} stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and the {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}} stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*[[Sandbag]], {{SSBM|Master Hand}}, and {{SSBM|Crazy Hand}} are the only characters that can cross blast lines in ''Melee''.
