| ⚫ | The '''Smash Ball '''({{ja|スマッシュボール}}, sumasshu bōru) (formerly called a '''Smash Emblem''' or '''Smash Orb''' by fans) is a special item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]], and [https://supersmashbros.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]'' It appears to allow the user to activate an especially powerful [[Final Smash]] attack. |
||
| + | == Overview == |
||
| − | To use the Smash Ball, the characters must attack the Smash Ball until the screen darkens and he/she/it begins to glow. The attack can be unleashed at any time, and can only be used once, after you get the Smash Ball by pressing the Special Move button. However, the Smash Ball can be knocked out if the character with the item is damaged enough. |
||
| + | When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the crowd will gasp. After its appearance, the Smash Ball will roam around the stage. The physics of its movement tends to vary: it will normally bounce off walls and other solid stage elements, though on occasion it will pass through them. |
||
| + | In order to use it, fighters must break it by landing attacks on it. Any Assist Trophy character or Pokemon summoned by the player can contribute to breaking the Smash Ball, though they will not actively chase after it, and thus only deal damage if the Smash Ball is in close proximity with them. It should be noted that the resistance of the Smash Ball to attacks will gradually decrease the longer it remains on stage, so a "fresh" Smash Ball will need to take 43% damage to break, and less damage the longer it is on the field. The Smash Ball can be knocked back by attacks, though the amount taken varies as well. |
||
| − | At first, the Smash Ball was obtained simply by touching or passing through it. |
||
| + | Upon successfully breaking a Smash Ball, the character will enter "standby mode," which is indicated by a multicolored glow and yellow eyes. The screen also is affected when the Smash Ball is broken: in ''Brawl ''the screen darkens, but in ''3DS/Wii U'' the screen will fade to grey with everything appearing dark except the character in standby mode. In this mode, the user must use their neutral special move to initiate a Final Smash, essentially using up the Smash Ball. Once the Final Smash ends, the character leaves standby mode and the battle proceeds as normal. Alternatively, if the user is attacked enough, the Smash Ball will leave the user, allowing the other fighters to chase after it. |
||
| − | When a Smash Ball appears, the screen blinks and the crowd gasps. |
||
| + | After time passes when no one breaks the Smash Ball, it will fly off and disappear. It will also disappear if it is broken by stage elements (such as the lava wall on Norfair) or by the effects of certain items (such as the Smart Bomb). Only one Smash Ball appears at a time, and none appear when a fighter is in standby mode. The Smash Ball will not appear if the Dragoon or Daybreak parts are in play. |
||
| − | The Smash Ball can move around on its own, making it harder for players to use; it must be attacked by the players until it breaks, and whoever breaks it will be able to use their Final Smash. This should not be confused with a normal item as it grants the user a special attack; nevertheless, it can be turned off in the [[Item Switch]] option for those who wish to battle without absurdly powerful attacks, or even any items at all. |
||
| + | [[Nikki]] has a chance of drawing a penciled Smash Ball; which functions identically to a normal Smash Ball. |
||
| − | If no one breaks the Smash Ball after a long enough period of time, it flies away. However, the longer it is flying around the easier it is to break. It can also be damaged by the stage (ex: Norfair's lava), and if nobody strikes it before it is destroyed, it is lost. |
||
| + | ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' introduced a new item the [[Fake Smash Ball]]: which resembles a Smash Ball but explodes instead of granting a Final Smash. |
||
| − | In the [[Smash Bros DOJO!!]], the Smash Ball doesn't appear as an item[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/index.html], instead as a how to play tutorial segment. |
||
| + | == Design == |
||
| − | Originally, it was thought that the Smash Ball could only be used by a character once per battle, due to the way that the DOJO!! worded it. As it turns out, it simply meant that a character could only use a Final Smash once per Smash Ball. |
||
| + | The Smash Ball appears as a multicolored sphere resembling the ''Super Smash Bros. ''logo. In ''3DS/Wii U'', the Smash Ball will pulsate and leave a multicolored trail behind when roaming around the stage. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | While a Final Smash can be used more than once per battle, when a character is in standby mode, the screen goes dark and no smash balls appear until the Final Smash is used. This means that only one Final Smash can be used at once. |
