'''Stamina''' is a gameplay option that replaces the traditional ''Super Smash Bros.'' [[damage]] percentage with a "HP gauge" similar to the life bars of conventional fighting games, which must be depleted to defeat characters. Stamina was a [[Special Smash|Special mode]] option prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it became a standard rule option. Battles with Stamina rules also appear in some [[event match|event matches]], one possible [[Smash Run]] Final Battle, and some [[spirit]] battles. | '''Stamina''' is a gameplay option that replaces the traditional ''Super Smash Bros.''

In Stamina, every hit to the player depletes some [[HP]] from them. Once a character reaches 0 HP, they are KO'd, though characters can still be knocked off the stage through conventional means.

Once a character reaches 0 HP, they are KO'd, though characters can still be knocked off the stage through conventional means. However, [[knockback]] is not affected by the amount of damage the player has taken. From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', characters in Stamina only have a single life, but in ''Ultimate'', the mode can be used with [[stock]]s; when a character reaches 0 HP, they will be [[Instant KO|instantly KO'd]] and [[revival platform|respawn]] for as long as they have stocks remaining. When a character is defeated, the game will temporarily slow down, and the character will let out one of their [[KO]] cries, which varies based on the game. If the victim is hit by a very weak attack when they are KO'd (or defeated by a damage-over-time status effect like [[flower]]), they will perform a unique animation of them dramatically crumpling to the ground, usually falling backward or on their knees; otherwise, they will simply begin [[tumbling]] outside of player control, entering their prone state when landing on solid ground. | ||
Defeated fighters will always stay in their prone position and flash red; they cannot be controlled by the user and will always enter a state of tumbling when hit, and can be knocked off the stage and KO'd with a [[blast KO]] as usual. In ''SSB4'', defeated characters can also be eliminated completely if the victim is trapped in certain hazards such as [[Danger Zone]]s.

Any helper characters, such as {{b|Pikmin|species}}, will still stay next to the knocked-out combatant, with the exception of [[Luma]], who will be KO'd alongside [[Rosalina]], and the partner [[Ice Climbers|Ice Climber]] in ''Ultimate'', who will be KO'd alongside the leader. In ''Ultimate'', defeated fighters will explode after a brief moment, removing them from the battlefield. | ||

''Brawl'' once again offers Stamina mode in the game's Special Smash mode, Special Brawl. Players can now select their starting HP individually via the Handicap option, allowing increments of 10 between 10 HP and 300 HP, as well as only 1 HP. ''Brawl''{{'}}s 1HP setting allows for lightning-quick games with no legitimate winner if all players also have the [[flower]] status on them: all fighters will be KO'd at the same time, forcing the game to select a random winner.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh4bWHxvZHY] | ''[[Super Smash Bros.
