Smash Ball
The Smash Ball is an item found exclusively in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In order to use its powers, the players have to actually attack the Smash Ball, to a certain extent, and break it open before use. By collecting it, the player can then trigger the character's Final Smash. To activate the Final Smash, the player must press the special move button, without any directional input. The item itself is an emblem of the Super Smash Bros. series. After collecting the Smash Ball, the player's character will have a glowing aura around them. Additionally, the screen will dim a bit overall, excluding the glowing character.
There is also a Pity Final Smash which is given to the losing player when a point of advantage has reached. When this has happened, the player will reappear after a KO in Final Smash stand-by mode.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A mighty item. Each character has a unique secret technique known as a Final Smash that can only be used when that character acquires a Smash Ball. Use it well, and you'll be one huge step closer to victory. It can turn the battle's tide, help you put the finishing touches on a complete thrashing, or even provide a chaotic finish that's sure to leave you laughing until you cry.
Trivia
- In the 2006 E3 Trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario is shown simply grabbing the Smash Ball out of the air, rather than attacking it. It is possible that they had not considered making the Smash Ball harder to obtain yet, or it was just for the intro.
