'''Electric''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Targets hit by electric attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. The electric effect is distinct from the [[paralyze]] effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects.

In ''Smash 64'' only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except {{SSB|Samus}}, whose suitless shape is seen instead; and {{SSB|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, whose bodies stay black but have their eyes protuding from them). This is no longer the case from ''Melee'' onward, as characters instead glow light blue after taking a hit. From ''Brawl'' onward, characters also use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during hitlag and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame (this animation is shared for characters who are [[paralyze]]d).
