Fan (Super Smash Bros. series)

A Fan, or Paper Fan, is a weak item in the Super Smash Bros. series, found in the first three games. Much like the more powerful Beam Sword, it would replace many of the player's normal attack moves with quick fan swipes if picked up. 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.
