A '''self-destruct''' (abbreviated as '''SD''') is when a character is [[KO]]'d without being hit by an opponent. This usually equates as jumping off the edge, but falls also count as SDs when the stage KOs someone. In [[time mode]], self-destructs subtract one point by default from a player's score; this penalty can be changed to zero or two points only in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In [[bonus mode]], the player's [[bonus points|score]] is lowered by 500 points. If characters get defeated by their own [[item]], it counts as both a fall and an SD, making them lose an additional point (Item Self-Destruct worth -1000). [[Friendly Fire]] also accounts for a loss of additional points. The character with the most self-destructs gets the Master of Disaster bonus (-1000), unless they have double or more the SDs of whoever has the second-most (and at least 3), in which case they get Self-Destructor instead (-2000).

Defeating a teammate counts as a self-destruct. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' however, the character that defeated the ally earns a point while the ally loses a point, similar to a regular KO.
