Assist Trophy


 * "Metroid" redirects here. For information about the microgame of the same name, see Metroid (microgame).

The Assist Trophy is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It will call forth a random character to assist the player who used the item, similar to the Poké Ball item. This is unique, in the fact, that the character released is from actual Nintendo or 3rd Party series, but can't be playable. As a result, it introduces characters who couldn't make the cut as playable fighters. Almost all characters that come out of the Assist Trophy are invincible.

Players must be on the ground to summon an Assist Trophy's character. If a player is attacked and sent flying after grabbing the Assist Trophy, but before breaking it open, he or she must land before he/she can call forth the Assist Trophy's character. Only one Assist Trophy can appear at a time, unlike Pok&s.

It was rumored that Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy, and Tails from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, were going to be Assist Trophies.
