Fan (Super Smash Bros. series)

A Fan or Paper Fan is a weak item in the Super Smash Bros. series, found in all three games. Much like the more powerful Beam Sword, if picked up, it would replace many of the player's normal attack moves with quick fan swipes. Although it does very little damage, its attacks are quick and a smash attack will almost completely destroy a player's Shield. If hit by a thrown fan, the player will fly straight up in the air, setting them up for other attacks.
