The '''Final Smash''' is a [[list of moves|special move]] that can be used from breaking a [[smashwiki:Smash Ball|Smash Ball]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. After breaking open one of these items, its power flows into the fighter, charging them up. The fighter will begin to emit a yellow aura, and their eyes will turn yellow as well. The character will activate their Final Smash the next time the player uses their standard special move. However, if the fighter does not initiate the Final Smash soon enough, they can drop the Smash Ball if they get attacked enough times. Final Smashes can be used by any fighter, including those representing the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].


The '''Final Smash''' is a [[Special Move]] that is only possible through the aid of a [[Smash Ball]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. After breaking open one of these items, its power flows into the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Characters|fighter]], charging him or her up.  The fighter's eyes glow white and yellow, at which point the fighter is free to unleash the Final Smash at any moment by pressing the special move button. Sometimes, the player with the least points can go on standby for a Final Smash after receiving a KO. Each person's attack is a manifestation of their individual personalities or unique abilities. For example, [[Zero Laser]] charges up [[Samus Aran]]'s [[Power Suit]] while [[Peach Blossom]] is a magnification of [[Princess Peach]]'s joyful personality.
The games also have a function known as a '''Pity Final Smash'''<ref>{{cite|date=December 5, 2007|url=www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique09.html|title=The Battle for the Smash Ball|publisher=Smash Bros. DOJO!!|accessdate=November 8, 2018}}</ref> (called '''Easy Final Smash''' in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''). If a fighter is KO'd while being five points or stocks behind the leading player, the fighter respawns with an Easy Final Smash. An Easy Final Smash serves the same functions as a normal Final Smash, but it has the advantage of not having a Smash Ball form, and therefore cannot be taken away by other fighters. Easy Final Smashes also return in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', but CPU players will not receive one even if the conditions are met.


Final Smashes are phenominally powerful and have been known to completely tip the scale of battles. However, each is not without its own repercussions. The attacks have been known to cause self-destructs, and Samus even changes into [[Zero Suit Samus]] after using her Final Smash. Because of there great tax on the users, they can only be utilized once per match.
The Final Smashes in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' are much quicker and require little to no control, so players can return to fighting quickly. As a result, many fighters that had controllable/transformative Final Smashes received new, instant, and non-transformative Final Smashes (e.g. [[Super Dragon]] being replaced by [[Stampede!]], and [[Konga Beat]] being replaced by [[Jungle Rush]]), although some retain their transformation effect (e.g. [[Giga Bowser Punch]]) or can still be affected by user input (e.g. [[smashwiki:Octopus|Octopus]] and [[smashwiki:Super Sonic|Super Sonic]] can be controlled vertically); while Final Smashes such as [[Shadow Mario Paint]] and [[Grand Star (move)|Grand Star]] have been made less powerful. This game also introduces the FS Meter, where players can charge up a Final Smash with a meter under the damage meter. The Final Smashes released from these are much weaker, easier to dodge, and can be shielded against. When the player activates a Final Smash, a cut-in of the summoner's face briefly appears on-screen.


==Final Smash Types==
==History==
While each person's Final Smash is different, their are two general types. By far the most common type is the outragiously powerful attack, such as [[Mario Finale]] or [[Triple Finish]]. These may attack one or more opponents, inflicting great damage that often knock out opponents. Even if they fail to do so directly, an affected opponent is usually extremely weak afterwards. The second type are based on transformations, such as [[Giga Bowser Transformation]] and [[Super Sonic]]. These change fighters completely, giving them a completely new moveset and sometimes granting [[Starman|invincibility]] or the ability to [[Fly (move)|fly]]. If implimented correctly, these moves have devistating effects. However, these are often more difficult to perform, as players must keep track of their position while they attack, lest they self-destruct in the process. Other Final Smashes, such as [[Konga Beat]], borrow elements from both categories.
Most Final Smashes are based on the character's individual background in their series, like [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Zelda|Zelda]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Sheik|Sheik]]'s [[smashwiki:Light Arrow|Light Arrow]]. However, some have been invented specially for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', like [[Mario]]'s [[Mario Finale]]. Although they were planned to be included in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''<ref>{{cite|quote=Actually, I thought of using the Smash Ball since the very first Nintendo 64 version of the game.|publisher=Masahiro Sakurai|url=us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp|title=Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5|accessdate=January 28, 2008}}</ref> (an unused voice sample of [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Ness|Ness]]'s announcing "[[#PK Starstorm|PK Starstorm]]" can be found in the files), Final Smashes made their first appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared the Final Smash as a more powerful, "majestic" [[Hammer]] item (found in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games),<ref>{{cite|quote=People who have played the previous Smash Bros. title need only imagine the stronger, more majestic version of the Hammer to understand what I’m talking about.|publisher=Masahiro Sakurai|url=us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp|title=Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5|accessdate=January 28, 2008}}</ref> as all players rush to collect it, and the ones who didn't flee after it has been collected.


==History==
==List of Final Smashes==
No fighter is known to possess the ability to perform these moves in their own worlds under the same conditions, as Smash Balls only exist in the world of ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''  Final Smashes made their first and only appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and gained considerable attention due to their ability to turn the tide of battle in seconds.  [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared the moves to the [[Hammer]] item found in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles, as all players fight to collect it and flee after it has been collected.
These are Final Smashes used only by fighters representing the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. A complete list can be found on [[List of Final Smashes|this page]].

|The Ice Climbers summon a huge iceburg from the bottom of the stage. Anyone hit by the attack is damaged and will oftentimes find him or herself frozen. After the attack, fighters must work to stay on the sloped iceburg without falling from the stage.
|Bowser transforms into Giga Bowser. He can move around freely and his attacks remain the same, but they are stronger and he cannot flinch, though he will still take damage. Some of his attacks also have added effects, such as ice and darkness. Taking damage will reduce the amount of time spent in this transformation.

This article is about a type of special move in the Super Smash Bros. series. For the mission in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, see Final Smash (mission).

Template:Quote2 The Final Smash is a special move that can be used from breaking a Smash Ball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. After breaking open one of these items, its power flows into the fighter, charging them up. The fighter will begin to emit a yellow aura, and their eyes will turn yellow as well. The character will activate their Final Smash the next time the player uses their standard special move. However, if the fighter does not initiate the Final Smash soon enough, they can drop the Smash Ball if they get attacked enough times. Final Smashes can be used by any fighter, including those representing the Super Mario franchise.

The games also have a function known as a Pity Final Smash[1] (called Easy Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U). If a fighter is KO'd while being five points or stocks behind the leading player, the fighter respawns with an Easy Final Smash. An Easy Final Smash serves the same functions as a normal Final Smash, but it has the advantage of not having a Smash Ball form, and therefore cannot be taken away by other fighters. Easy Final Smashes also return in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, but CPU players will not receive one even if the conditions are met.

The Final Smashes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are much quicker and require little to no control, so players can return to fighting quickly. As a result, many fighters that had controllable/transformative Final Smashes received new, instant, and non-transformative Final Smashes (e.g. Super Dragon being replaced by Stampede!, and Konga Beat being replaced by Jungle Rush), although some retain their transformation effect (e.g. Giga Bowser Punch) or can still be affected by user input (e.g. Octopus and Super Sonic can be controlled vertically); while Final Smashes such as Shadow Mario Paint and Grand Star have been made less powerful. This game also introduces the FS Meter, where players can charge up a Final Smash with a meter under the damage meter. The Final Smashes released from these are much weaker, easier to dodge, and can be shielded against. When the player activates a Final Smash, a cut-in of the summoner's face briefly appears on-screen.

History

Most Final Smashes are based on the character's individual background in their series, like Zelda and Sheik's Light Arrow. However, some have been invented specially for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, like Mario's Mario Finale. Although they were planned to be included in the original Super Smash Bros.[2] (an unused voice sample of Ness's announcing "PK Starstorm" can be found in the files), Final Smashes made their first appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Masahiro Sakurai compared the Final Smash as a more powerful, "majestic" Hammer item (found in all Super Smash Bros. games),[3] as all players rush to collect it, and the ones who didn't flee after it has been collected.

List of Final Smashes

These are Final Smashes used only by fighters representing the Super Mario franchise. A complete list can be found on this page.
