:''Not to be confused with [[Star KO]].''
'''KO Stars''' (also called '''Knockout Stars''') are an "award" for defeating an opponent(s) in the VS. Mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.


The amount of KO Stars received is dependent on the amount of opponents defeated, For example, if players [[KO]] two opponents, they receive two KO Stars each. KO stars are displayed at the bottom of the player's [[character]] portrait on the character selection screen. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' allows players to only have 255 KO Stars at a time. Any knockouts achieved after they have 255 will not reward them a KO Star. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this is extended to 999 KO stars. KO Stars cannot be kept permanently, and are "removed" once the players exits VS. Mode or changes their username. [[CPU]]'s do not earn KO Stars.
'''Knockout Stars''' are "medallions" for [[KO]]ing opponents in the [[Versus Mode]] or [[online play]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', displayed at the bottom of each [[player]]'s [[character selection screen]] panel. The amount of KO Stars received is dependent on the amount of times a KO is dealt. For example, if a player knocks out two opponents, or if they KO the same opponent twice, they will receive two KO Stars. ''Melee'' allows players to have a maximum of only 255 KO Stars at a time. Any KOs achieved after players have attained have 255 KOs will not reward them with a KO Star. In ''Brawl'' onwards, this limit is extended to 999 KO Stars.

The design of KO Stars have changed in each new iteration of the game. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' they are yellow 5-pointed stars (''Melee''{{'}}s has a more pronounced shadow than ''Brawl''{{'}}s) that increase in number up until 5, any more and it will be a single star with a tallied number to its right. ''for Nintendo 3DS'' uses a single white star along with the numerical value, regardless of how many KOs. ''for Wii U'' completely omitted a numerical value and added designs with colors and accents that were tallied into groups. ''Ultimate'' shows a medallion with a star in it, always showing the number of KOs like in ''for Nintendo 3DS''.
