Smash Ball

From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo

The Smash Ball is an item found in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It will only appear once in a battle, and when one of the characters obtains it, it will unleash a final smash on all (or one) of the opposing characters.

Smash Balls can be switched on and off like regular items, and they don't appear when a character has collected all the Dragoon pieces.
