Trophy

A Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (this shows how the trophy looks if zoomed in on before being caught - a trophy with this appearance does not exist).

Trophies are collectible figures the player can find in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. They are collected by finding them in some Adventure mode stages, by getting them in a Classic mode bonus stage, by getting them in a lottery, by completing certain event missions, or by completing Classic, Adventure, or All-Star mode. Additionally, trophies can be collected in the Mario Strikers series, Mario Tennis 64, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Golf series, Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix. Trophies are also awarded to the best three drivers in a Grand Prix race at the award ceremony in the Mario Kart series.

A trophy of Mario coming to life in Super Smash Bros. Melee (top) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (bottom).

Trophies make their first appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Trophies return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the number of trophies is nearly doubled from Melee. According to the story of The Subspace Emissary, the characters in this world are all trophies created and brought to life by Master Hand. The trophies exist for no reason other than fighting, and when the characters are defeated in battle, they are forcibly reverted to trophies. Also, interestingly, trophies of the smashers in the Subspace Emissary are grey, shiny, full-size statues instead of the smaller trophies or statuettes seen in the Trophy Gallery. Trophies do not make an appearance in the original Super Smash Bros. in any form and the characters in the game are actually just dolls. However, it is possible to read profiles of the 12 playable characters. Trophies will also return in the fourth installments of the series, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Like the stages in both games, Trophies in the Nintendo 3DS version will be mostly from handheld games, while Trophies in the Wii U version will be mostly from home console games.
