When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the [[crowd]] gasps, at which point the Smash Ball will begin to roam around the stage freely. To use the Smash Ball, one must first break it by attacking it; any assistants such as [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon and [[Assist Trophies]] can help break the Smash Ball for the character who summoned them. A 'fresh' Smash Ball can take around 43% [[damage]]. When a player successfully breaks one, the screen darkens, and the player whose [[attack]] broke the Smash Ball goes into 'standby mode', in which the character's eyes turn yellow and their body begins to glow a rainbow color. In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', an additional aesthetic occurs where the entire screen fades into a deep grey color and causes everything to look dark except the player with the Final Smash, who glows with the Smash Ball's colors. The Final Smash can then be unleashed at any time by pressing the input for a [[neutral special move]]. Players can attack a fighter in standby mode to make them "drop" the Smash Ball, at which point it will begin roaming the stage again. After using a Final Smash, the character is no longer in standby mode and must break another Smash Ball to use a Final Smash again. When the attack ends, the terrain will also go back to its standard colors. | When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the [[crowd]] gasps, at which point the Smash Ball will begin to roam around the stage freely, avoiding players in the lead and hovering around players trailing behind.

If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away and is lost until another spawns in. However, the longer it is flying around, the easier it is to break. It can also be lost if broken by something not attributed to a fighter, including stage hazards (for example, [[Norfair]]'s lava) and certain items (such as the later parts of a [[Smart Bomb]] explosion). Smash Balls are also affected by [[glancing blow]]s; the Smash Ball will not take damage but will be pushed away. While a character is in standby mode, no Smash Balls will appear until the Final Smash is used (or the Smash Ball is dropped), meaning that only one Final Smash can be used at a time. | If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away and is lost until another spawns in.
