75. Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff inflates into a balloon, pushing characters off the stage with an unimpressive display. It’s not terrible, but it’s boring. A microphone-and-sing routine would have been far more entertaining.

74. Dark Pit

Dark Pit shoots an arrow into an opponent’s heart for a quick and forgettable finish. It’s functional, but lacks creativity or flair.

73. Mii Swordfighter

The Mii Swordfighter swings a flurry of slashes in one direction. It’s predictable and easy to avoid, making it one of the weaker Final Smashes in the game.

72. Peach

Peach’s Smash 4 Final Smash carries over, where she puts opponents to sleep with a showy dance and peach graphics. It’s serviceable but underwhelming.

71. Daisy

Nearly identical to Peach’s Final Smash, except it features Daisy’s color scheme. Slightly better because, well, it’s Daisy.

70. Marth

Marth dashes forward with a quick, powerful strike. It’s fast and functional but doesn’t stand out in any meaningful way.

69. Lucina

A carbon copy of Marth’s Final Smash, but let’s give it style points for Lucina’s energy.

68. Roy

Roy ups the ante with fiery effects, but the Final Smash remains the same dashing strike we’ve seen from his Fire Emblem counterparts.

67. Chrom

Chrom adds a touch of cinematic flair by leaping into the air and striking down opponents, but it’s still a familiar Fire Emblem theme.

66. Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong straps on his jetpack, flies around for a bit, and ends with an explosion. It’s chaotic, but not particularly impactful.

65. Pichu

Pichu transforms into a ball of electricity, zipping across the screen to damage opponents. Fun, but a bit lackluster compared to its evolved counterpart.

64. Pikachu

Similar to Pichu, Pikachu’s ball-of-electricity Final Smash offers fast movement and decent damage but lacks excitement.

63. Link

Link channels his Breath of the Wild vibes with a Guardian Arrow that slows time briefly before firing. It’s stylish but not too cinematic.

62. Pit

Pit summons his chariot and fires arrows at opponents with a crosshair. It’s skill-based, but not as visually impressive as other Final Smashes.

61. Inkling

The Inkling uses the Killer Wail from Splatoon, unleashing a paint wave that’s faithful to the series. It’s solid but doesn’t stand out much.

60. Wii Fit Trainer

Wii Fit Trainer unleashes a flurry of yoga poses, culminating in a massive energy wave. It’s quirky, but not particularly thrilling.

59. Palutena

Palutena disappears and unleashes a giant purple beam that wipes across the stage. Effective but visually underwhelming.

58. Ice Climbers

The Ice Climbers summon an iceberg that spins and damages opponents. It’s a neat callback to the NES game but feels chaotic and random.

57. Rosalina

Rosalina powers up her Luma, which emits an AoE damage aura. It’s straightforward and lacks the excitement of other Final Smashes.

56. Olimar

Olimar boards his rocket ship, which crash lands to damage opponents. It’s a fun nod to Pikmin, but not the most exciting.

55. Mii Gunner

A generic giant laser attack with spinning lasers around it. Not much more to say.

54. Rob

Rob fires a laser from his eyes in a straightforward attack. It’s functional but forgettable.

53. Samus

Samus charges her arm cannon and fires a massive beam. Classic but lacking in creativity.

52. Dark Samus

Dark Samus has the same Final Smash as Samus but with a cooler palette swap, earning it a slight edge.

51. Zero Suit Samus

Zero Suit Samus hops into her ship and fires a massive laser, adding a bit more spectacle compared to regular Samus.

Top 10 Final Smashes

10. Wario

Wario’s comic-book-style cutscene during his Wario-Man transformation is ridiculous and fun, perfectly fitting his character.

9. Sheik

Sheik’s cinematic “Sheikah Symbol” attack is fast, stylish, and satisfying. It’s an upgrade compared to previous entries.

8. Ryu and Ken

Ryu’s Hadouken and Ken’s Shoryuken Final Smashes bring iconic Street Fighter vibes to Smash. Both are fast, flashy, and effective.

7. Ridley

Ridley knocks opponents into Samus’s ship and fires a devastating blast. It’s cinematic and captures his menacing presence perfectly.

6. King Dedede

Dedede’s Final Smash puts him in a wrestling ring, complete with an Iron Mask and a rocket hammer. It’s over-the-top and a ton of fun.

5. King K. Rool

Rool jumps into his throne and fires a giant laser from his ship, destroying Donkey Kong Island in a callback to DK64. It’s epic.

4. Pokémon Trainer

Charizard, Squirtle, and Ivysaur combine their powers for an epic team attack, complete with the classic “It’s super effective!” text box.

3. Mega Man

Mega Man calls on every iteration of himself, including Proto Man and Bass, to unleash a devastating multi-hit combo.

2. Ganondorf

Ganondorf transforms into his massive beast form, Ganon, and charges across the screen in an unstoppable display of power.

1. Incineroar

Incineroar’s wrestling-inspired Final Smash is a perfect mix of comedy and power, sending opponents into the ropes before slamming them into a fiery explosion.
