== Description ==
Smash Balls are rainbow-colored orbs that float around in the sky. They closely resemble the Super Smash Bros. franchise's logo. When someone breaks their outer crust, the Smash Balls shatter. The person who opened them will gain a powerful Final Smash, making Smash Balls one of the most powerful items in the series. There is also a fake variation whose powerful energy rushes outward in a Supernova-esque explosion when it is broken.
== In ==
Smash Balls first appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They float around the stage randomly, but can suffer knockback. When their outer layer is broken, the Smash Ball's opener will start to glow rainbow and can unleash a powerful Final Smash.
Smash Balls reappear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, retaining their functionality from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Smash Balls made their last appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far. There is also the Smash Bomb, which resembles them, but is very volatile and is known to explode.
