A Smash hit (stylized as {{Smashhit}}) is an event that multiplies a regular attack's damage output. It is the [[EarthBound (series)|EarthBound series]]'s equivalent to a critical hit, a common feature in role-playing games. This can only occur when using a character's normal attack, such as Bash. Upon landing one, the game displays {{Smashhit}} on the screen as the damage is being dealt, while the screen flashes green (red when an enemy lands a smash hit from EarthBound onwards). | A Smash hit (stylized as {{Smashhit}}) is an event that multiplies a regular attack's damage output.

The damage that is dealt is not consistent, rarely it can do less than 2× normal damage, but oftentimes a Smash hit can do nearly triple the average damage. | ||

If a smash hit is successful, it deals 4×(Offense-Defense) damage. This damage is still affected by defending if applicable. If the target had a physical shield, it will be depleted. When a character in the player's party deals such an attack, the screen flashes green twice and {{Smashhit}} appears in the text box on the upper side of the screen. If a character from the player's party receives a Smash hit, the screen will instead flash red once. Shoot weapons are incapable of Smash hits in the SNES and Super Famicom version which means that Jeff usually can't deal one. However, in what is most likely a bug or oversight, Shoot attacks can deal Smash hits in the [[Mother 1+2]] port. | ||

Flint's [[Brute Force|Power Smash]] Skill is the only non-bashing attack for the playable characters that can {{Smashhit}} enemies; this skill always results in a {{Smashhit}} if it hits. | ||
