Assist Trophy

Assist Trophy is an item in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is unique, as it will call forth a random character to assist the player who used the item. This is unique in the fact that, the character released is from an actual Nintendo series, but can't be playable. So, it will introduce characters who couldn't make the cut as playable fighters. Almost all characters that come out of the Assist Trophy will be invincible. At this moment, only four characters have been confirmed, with more to be revealed.

Trivia

 * The Assist Trophy works almost exactly like a Poké Ball. However, it sends out an actual character instead of a Pokémon.
