Fake Smash Ball
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting.

The Fake Smash Ball is an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that resembles a Smash Ball, but with the lines on the Super Smash Bros. logo inverted (the horizontal line being thicker than the vertical line) as a way of deceiving players into thinking it is the real Smash Ball. It appears at a random time in the stage and can be hit similar to a regular Smash Ball; however, once it is broken, it explodes in an "X" formation and inflicts 36% damage on nearby fighters, launching them away.[1] A Fake Smash Ball may even appear alongside a genuine Smash Ball, and unlike it, which moves arbitrarily around the stage, the Fake Smash Ball moves towards fighters, increasing their chances of accidentally breaking it.[2]
The Fake Smash Ball may spawn with Soccer Ball physics, and begin rolling on the ground, in a matter reminiscent of the original.
