All of the Smashers had gathered in the main quarters, including the newcomers for the 4th installment. They were told that the Hands would be unveiling a powerful new item. Kirby was eating everything in the kitchen. Luigi was simply standing in the corner, scared of what could happen to them. Finally, the Hands arrived.

"Greetings Smashers!" Master Hand said with enthusiasm, "Welcome to the unveiling of the new item!" Crazy Hand then pulled open the curtains and revealed a glowing object in a glass case. "This," commented Master Hand, "Is the Team Smash Ball." The orb suddenly glowed the four team colors; Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green.

"This PowERfuL oRB will oNly apPEar in teAm mATCHes," Stated Crazy Hand.

Master Hand then exclaimed "The power of the orb will allow the two fighters on a team to combine their powers into a Team Final Smash!" The fighters oohed and ahed. Master Hand then said "However, the best way to help you understand is to try it yourselves! We will have four fighters, two per team, in the matches. The only item available will be the Team Smash Ball."

"WiTh tHaT sAid..." said Crazy Hand.

"LET THE BATTLES BEGIN!" the Hands exclaimed in unison.
