Assist Trophy



The 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, similiar to the Poké Ball 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 thirteen characters have been confirmed, with more to be revealed.

List of Assist Characters
A Metroid from the Metroid series, Little Mac from Punch-Out and Airan Jo from Sin and Punishment assists have been confirmed. What they do is unknown.

Trophy Information for Andross
''Star Fox's archenemy. Whether it's a metallic manifestation of Andross or just a hologram is unknown, but from its outward appearance, it's safe to assume that it's not the fiend's true form. Andross occasionally sucks matter in and then violently exhales, sending out a cloud of metal tiles. Its eyes are its weak points.''

Trophy Information for Dr. Wright
''The assistant to the mayor of Sim City, Dr. Wright was actually named after the creator of the game. As a player, you'd have to use your wisdom and experience to give timely advice to the mayor; if you did a good job, the city prospered. Dr. Wright is one of the leaders in the all-time, bizarre Nintendo-game-hairstyle contest.''

Trophy Information for Excitbike
''This top-of-the-line motocross motorcycle can accelerate like crazy with its turbo, but this also causes the temperature gauge to rise rapidly; if used too often, the bike will overheat. You can cool your hot bike down by running over special icons scattered across the track. The turbo and ramps let you pull insane airs.''

Trophy Information for Lakitu
''These airborne menaces used to ride their clouds exclusively as Bowser's henchmen. They typically hover just out of Mario's reach and hurl Spinies with irritating precision. More recently, however, they've been known to take on less evil tasks, such as doing camera work for sports events and even helping Mario on his quests.''

Trophy Information for Metroid
''A parasitic life form that can absorb all types of energy, Metroids have strong resistance to most conventional weaponry. To defeat them, Samus Aran had to freeze them with Ice Beam shots and then blast them with missiles. Mochtroids, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei.''

Trophy Information for Mr. Resetti
''Prepare to receive a really long talking-to if you reset this game: the next time you play, Mr. Resetti will be waiting to deliver his best scolding. No matter what your intentions are, pressing the RESET Button will bring you face-to-face with this fervent character. Sometimes the only way to shut him up is to apologize.''

Trophy Information for Samurai Goroh
''A rival bounty hunter, Samuarai Goroh has crossed paths with Captain Falcon in many a dark corner of the universe. He also goes head-to-head with Falcon in F-Zero races, so the threads of their fates seem to be deeply intertwined. Samurai Goroh is famous for his katana, and his signature T-shirt is instantly recognizable.''
