Abstract
The occurrence of a big smash singularity which ends the universe in a finite time in the future is investigated in the context of superquintessence, i.e. dark energy with effective equation of state parameter w<-1. The simplest model of superquintessence based on a single nonminimally coupled scalar field exhibits big smash solutions which are attractors in phase space.
