| What is it? | Explanation | Visual Example | Stock Mode, Time Mode, or both modes? |
| Fighter's names | Letters are used to represent each combatants. Each one uses the first letter of the fighters name, except for those pointed out at the Color Key page. | Lu0 Y0 (Luigi and Blue Yoshi are fighting now) | Both modes |
| Damage | Numbers next to the letters (characters) indicate that players current damage percentage. | M0 Lu300 (Mario is at perfect health, while Luigi is at 300%) | Both modes |
| Near Death | Near Death, or ND, indicates a near death for the player (Where they go over the edge, but jump back). | M55ND Lu300 (Mario had a near death experience at 55% health) | Both modes |
| Death Number | The Death Number, or D# (# is a number), is used to indicate the number of deaths for a player. | M0D2 Lu300D0 (Mario has died twice, while Luigi hasn't died yet) | Stock Mode |
| Out | When a fighter has no more lives, they will be labeled as "Out of the Game" and can't participate for the rest of the match. | CF123 S(OUT) (Samus has been knocked out of the match, and Captain Falcon wins) | Stock Mode |
| Score | The score shows you how many points a certain fighter has during the match. | L32+2 Lu300= J67-2 (Link has two points, Jigglypuff has negative two points, and Luigi has 0 points [= equals zero]) | Time Mode |
| Time | The time shows how much time the fighters have left to beat each other senseless. | P23ND J12 2:12 (Pikachu and Jigglypuff have two minutes and twelve seconds left to fight) | Time Mode |
| Stars | The Star count (St) is only used in Mario Party-type matches (like this double header). Each star collected is worth one point. In addition, each fighter gets extra points depending on final placement, so if someone gets a lot of stars and last place "normally", the stars could help him/her end up in first instead. | W0 St2 K34 St1 (Wario has two stars; Kirby has one. |
Both Modes |
