[[File:Assist Trophy Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
The '''Assist Trophy''' (or '''assist trophy''') is an [[list of items|item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It calls forth a random character to assist the player who used the item, similar to the [[smashwiki:Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] item. This is unique in that the character released is from an actual [[Nintendo]] or third-party series, but is not playable. As a result, it introduces characters who did not make the cut as playable fighters.


[[File:Assist Trophy Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Some Assist Trophy characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' are unlockable, and almost every character is invincible; however, in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', all Assist Trophy characters are available from the start, and many characters can take damage and can even be KO'd (in the latter game, the opponent that defeats them earns a point), although characters that do not appear on the stage itself such as [[smashwiki:Andross|Andross]] and [[Nintendog]] remain invulnerable to attacks.

|align=left | Andross, the main villain from the [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]] appears from the Assist Trophy, and, floating in the background of a stage, inhales and spits forth a flurry of harmful polygons that damage characters. His appearance and attack are based on his depiction in the original, SNES, ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''.

|[[smashwiki:Devil|Devil]] [[File:SmashBros Emblem.png|30px]]
|align=left | The Devil is the main antagonist of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game, ''[[wikipedia:Devil World|Devil World]]'', released only in Japan and Europe.


When summoned, the Devil will first appear as a bat and fly to the top of the screen. Once at the top, the Devil assumes his true form and begins pointing in one of the cardinal directions, causing the camera, which is otherwise fixed in place during this time, to move in the direction he points. As a result of this, the blast zones of the stages change continuously until the Devil disappears.
Shaded cells indicate the Assist Trophy can be defeated. An asterisk (*) in the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' column indicates the Assist Trophy is unlockable. A double asterisk (**) in columns for later installments indicates the Assist Trophy instead appears as a playable character.

In ''EarthBound'', whereas the rest of [[Ness]]'s party can utilize PSI attacks, Jeff's attacks use guns and other gadgets, such as various types of bottle rockets and stat-altering devices.


As an Assist Trophy, he prepares and launches a set of five bottle rockets, which shoot into the air, homing in on enemies in unpredictable trajectories. There will always be four small bottle rockets followed by a big bottle rocket at the end, but there is a one-in-five chance that he will summon a second wave of rockets before disappearing.

The bullets are released in quick volleys and the missiles are single-fire that home in on opponents.

|align=left|A character who throws a seemingly endless stream of hammers. Hammer Bros. have also been known to jump every so often. Since they throw their hammers in a high arc, if you manage to get in close, the hammers can't hit you. Unlike Koopas and Buzzy Beetles, Hammer Bros. don't reduce to their shells when jumped on. As the name suggests, most Hammer Bros. are found in pairs.
 
The player will unlock him after having played 200 matches in the Brawl mode or its relatives. When he appears, Isaac summons a giant hand (a utility ability called [[GoldenSun:Move|Move]]) and sends it to the end of the stage, pushing any opponents along with it. He does this three times before disappearing. The hand does not do any direct damage; its only purpose is to send opponents off of the stage.

|Hammer Bros.
|align=left | A character who throws a seemingly endless stream of hammers. Hammer Bros. have also been known to jump every so often. Since they throw their hammers in a high arc, if you manage to get in close, the hammers can't hit you. Unlike Koopas and Buzzy Beetles, Hammer Bros. don't reduce to their shells when jumped on. As the name suggests, most Hammer Bros. are found in pairs.

|Helirin
|align=left | A unique helicopter that flies with long, slowly rotating wings. If the wings strike walls or obstacles, the Helirin takes damage and loses hearts. The wings normally spin clockwise, but the rotation can be reversed by touching springs. There are many areas that require this technique. The Helirin can be customized by picking up and using a variety of items.
|-

| align=left | Helirins created by Prof. Rabbit. One is a helicopter that can throw punches from its wings to smash things--HELIBOKAAN! Press and hold a button to submerge, then release to surface--HELIBASHAN! Shoot fire left and right from the wings--HELIBOBOH! Use a spinning ability to create tornadoes--HELIBURUUN! There are also five varieties which shoot in rapid fire--HELIBIBYUUN!
|-

| Infantry and Tanks
| align=left | Units first introduced in Famicom Wars, where they fight battles against enemy forces. Infantry are the least expensive to deploy of all units. They're not too strong, but they move well and can capture property. There are two tank types: tank A, which is expensive but has good mobility and firepower, and tank B, which is cheaper but can change battles with sheer numbers.
|-

| Isaac
| align=left | A strong-willed Psynergy adept of the bloodline of an ancient race thought to have been lost with the downfall of civilization. He can manipulate earth-based forces and is also a highly skilled swordsman. He sets out to protect a lighthouse that can release the sealed powers of alchemy. In Smash Bros., he uses "Move" energy, which creates an energy field that pushes foes away.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy306.png|100px]]
| Jeff
| align=left | Dr. Andonuts's son, who attends a boarding school in Winters. He receives a telepathic message from Paula saying that she and Ness have been captured, and he sets out to rescue them.

|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy313.png|100px]]
| Jill
| align=left | A young girl who takes over the leadership of a band of righteous bandits known as the Red Dozers from her injured father. Jill sets out on the Drill Dozer to recover a red diamond stolen by the Skulkers. Jill has great reflexes and rode the Drill Dozer instead of a baby carriage growing up. She has an intense dislike of studying, however.
|-

| Kat & Ana
| align=left | Twin female ninjas who attend Diamond City Kindergarten. Kat, the older of the two, has pink hair, while the younger Ana has orange hair. Both of the girls are still very young, but they're also very respectful and address their superiors as budding ninjas should. Kat and Ana have a soft spot for living things. Kat loves cats, and Ana is attracted to flowers.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy291.png|100px]]
| Knuckle Joe
| align=left | A martial artist known for amazing attacks like the Vulcan Jab. With his bandana, he looks and fights the part of a Muay Thai boxer. When Kirby copies Knuckle Joe, he gains the fighting techniques of a hand-to-hand-combat expert. Knuckle Joe also engages in friendly block-breaking competitions with Kirby. His other famous techniques are the Smash Punch and Rising Break.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy164.png|100px]]
| Lakitu and Spinies
| align=left | A particularly stubborn breed of Koopa. Lakitus chase Mario aboard clouds and attack by throwing Spiny Eggs down from above. More recently, Lakitus have taken over the role of cameramen, filming with cameras that they dangle from long rods. Spinies are Koopa creatures with tough, spiked shells. Jumping onto them has no effect, but fireballs can dispatch them.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy304.png|100px]]
| Little Mac
| align=left | A lightweight scrapper from the Bronx. After meeting with a former boxing great named Doc Louis who fell from glory, Mac takes Doc on as his coach, and together the pair try for the championship belt in the WVBA.

|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy302.png|100px]]
| Lyn
| align=left | A 15-year-old nomadic girl. Lyn is a strong-willed youth whose skill with the blade draws many admirers. Lyn sets out on her quest to become a master swordsman after coming to the aid of a fallen traveler. She soon learns she's a living member of the nobility of Lycia, a neighboring country. Soon she's involved in a violent dispute over the ascension of the Caelin throne.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy297.png|100px]]
| Metroid
| align=left | A bioengineered life-form found on planet SR388. Metroids attach to organisms and drain life energy. The Galactic Federation commissions Samus to eliminate them, but Space Pirates try to harness their power. One of the few ways Samus can kill Metroids is by shooting them with the Ice Beam and then shattering them with missiles. The Metroid's cry is chilling and indescribable.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy289.png|100px]]
| Mr. Resetti
| align=left | A character who normally appears from underground to lecture the player. However, he is not always underground--in Animal Crossing: Wild World, he can be found sipping coffee at the Roost if you go at a certain time on a certain day. In the Japanese-only "e+" version, he works at a so-called "Resetti Observation Center" where you can pop in for a visit.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy293.png|100px]]
| Mr. Resetti (2)
| align=left | A mole wearing a hard hat who'll show up when you restart your game without having saved. He pops up and lets you know in no uncertain terms the importance of saving your game. The problem is, his speeches are entertaining enough to warrant breaking the rules at least once. In Animal Crossing, his brother Don appears too. He's the polar opposite of his sibling.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy294.png|100px]]
| Nintendogs
| align=left | A puppy for you to train on your Nintendo DS. They come in a wide variety of breeds, colors, coat styles, and personalities.

Other features include the ability to enter your dog in disc-catching contests and agility trials on obstacle courses.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy310.png|100px]]
| Ray MK III
| align=left | The custom robo used by the main character. It's the latest Shining Fighter model in the Ray line of robots, which appears throughout the Custom Robo series.

This one has a great balance between built-in abilities and ease and depth of available customization.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy312.png|100px]]
| Saki Amamiya
| align=left | A member of a rescue group that hunts aliens known as Ruffians that prey on mankind. He's killed by Ruffians, but the advance scout Achi resuscitates him, and he gains remarkable physical prowess and becomes the hunt leader.

|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy290.png|100px]]
| Samurai Goroh
| align=left | A man who presents himself as a bounty hunter much like Captain Falcon but is also the boss of a notorious bandit group.

His machine, the Fire Stingray (#05), has a high top speed.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy314.png|100px]]

|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy299.png|100px]]
| Stafy
| align=left | The prince of the kingdom of Tenkai. He's a bit spacey and clumsy, but when he sets his mind to something, he gives it his all. Stafy gets help from his friends Kyorosuke the clam and the wizened Lobjii-san. Stafy sometimes dons a pig suit and throws pork cutlets. In Densetsu No Stafy 3, Stafy meets Wario and goes with him to steal the treasures of the deep.
|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy300.png|100px]]
| Tingle
| align=left | A strange little man easily spotted by his trademark green bodysuit, bright nose, and pointy beard.

|-
| [[File:BrawlTrophy292.png|100px]]

| align=left | A twig-thin man who sees himself as Luigi's ultimate rival. He spent a long time working silently in the shadow of the Mario Bros. before finally becoming strong enough to compete with them in Mario Tennis.

Assist Trophy
Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
First appearance Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)
Latest appearance Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018)
Effect Summons a random Nintendo or third-party character when picked up.
“Assist Trophies allow you to enjoy even more characters who couldn't quite make it as playable fighters. You may even see some that only the most dedicated fans will recognize, so you'll have to look forward to them.”
Masahiro Sakurai, Smash Bros. DOJO!!
An Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The Assist Trophy (or assist trophy) is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It calls forth a random character to assist the player who used the item, similar to the Poké Ball item. This is unique in that the character released is from an actual Nintendo or third-party series, but is not playable. As a result, it introduces characters who did not make the cut as playable fighters.

Some Assist Trophy characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are unlockable, and almost every character is invincible; however, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, all Assist Trophy characters are available from the start, and many characters can take damage and can even be KO'd (in the latter game, the opponent that defeats them earns a point), although characters that do not appear on the stage itself such as Andross and Nintendog remain invulnerable to attacks.

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, they must land before they can call forth the Assist Trophy's character. Only one Assist Trophy can appear at a time, unlike Poké Balls, except in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

List of Assist Trophy characters[edit]

This section only lists Assist Trophy characters representing the Super Mario franchise. A complete list can be found over on this page.

Shaded cells indicate the Assist Trophy can be defeated. An asterisk (*) in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl column indicates the Assist Trophy is unlockable. A double asterisk (**) in columns for later installments indicates the Assist Trophy instead appears as a playable character.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Image Name American English Description British English Description
Ashley trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Ashley This young witch-in-training lives in a haunted mansion in Diamond City. She's shy and quick to anger, but secretly she wants more friends. When she appears on the battlefield, she will summon a damaging zone of darkness around her. The zone causes a variety of effects, none of them good. Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion? You'd better learn her name, 'cause she's Aa-ashley! This little witch loves cursing people, but also wants more friends. Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it, too... In battle, she conjures a zone of darkness that both damages and shrinks other fighters!
Chain Chomp's trophy render from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Chain Chomp This beast frequently appears in the Super Mario series, and it is definitely equal parts bark and bite. No surprise it's often chained to something. In Smash Bros., it's connected to a stump in the ground and will lash out at anyone who gets close. Don't even bother trying to teach it manners. An iron ball with a face, complete with shiny white teeth, that shows up fairly often in the Mario series. They're impossible to tame, so they're almost always chained to a post, and this game's no exception. Seriously, don't go anywhere near them unless you want to end up a Chomp's dinner.
Hammer Bro.'s trophy render from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Hammer Bro These elite trooper turtles usually appeared in pairs in Super Mario Bros., wearing helmets and chucking hammers at Mario. When summoned, they'll advance on the nearest opponent and lob hammers in a graceful arc. Sometimes they'll throw in a jump to mix things up. Hammer Bros. usually appear in pairs in Super Mario Bros. games. With helmets on heads and hammers in hand, Bowser's elite troops never leg it when Mario shows up. In this game, they appear solo, flinging hammers at the nearest target. They can also jump and throw, so stay sharp!
Kat & Ana trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Kat & Ana These ninja twin sisters of the Iga Clan attend Diamond City Kindergarten. The high-tech katanas they carry, made by Dr. Crygor, are like an extension of their own bodies. They strike at incredible speed with devastating attacks. By the way, Kat is the one with pink hair. Telling these twin sisters apart is easy: Kat's hair is pink; Ana's is orange. They both go to Diamond City Kindergarten, love nature, and train as ninjas with the Iga clan. In this game, they deliver an impressive joint cross-slash attack with the gigantic high-tech swords Dr. Crygor made them.
Lakitu & Spinies's trophy render from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Lakitu & Spinies Flying over the battlefield in a cloud, this member of Bowser's forces persistently chases after Mario. He takes a break from throwing Spiny Eggs to do some racing in Mario Kart 7. When summoned, he'll appear as a sprite and toss Spiny Eggs at those fighting below him. One of Bowser's minions. This cloud-riding turtle and general nuisance to Mario made his debut as a playable character in Mario Kart 7. In this game, you can summon a pixellated Lakitu who'll throw Spiny Eggs that will turn into Spinies – beasties with red, spiky shells – when they hit the ground.
Waluigi's trophy render from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Waluigi A crooked mustache and a long, red nose—Waluigi has "villain" written all over him. He considers himself Luigi's rival. He's cunning and quick. When summoned into battle, he'll rush the nearest fighters and stomp them into the ground—then thwack them with his foot or tennis racket! Long, red nose? Handlebar moustache? Bendy body? Yep, this lanky schemer is Luigi's rival, Waluigi. In this game, he'll dash over to the nearest fighter and stomp on them to bury them in the ground. Then he'll finish them off with a big kick or a whack with his tennis racket. Ouch!

Trivia[edit]

  • A concept similar to Assist Trophies was considered for Super Smash Bros. Melee, but the idea was scrapped due to development circumstances.[1]
  • In the April 2014 Nintendo Direct focused on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the Waluigi Assist Trophy is used with the Wario series icon, instead of the Super Mario franchise icon. This is odd, since Waluigi has never appeared in any Wario series games. This was later changed, as seen on his Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy.
  • In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the figure in the trophy appears to be occasionally blinking.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, not all Assist Trophies appear in every stage, mostly due to elements of the stage itself. Examples include Alucard not appearing in Wii Fit Studio (due to vampires not having reflections), and the Moon not appearing in Great Bay (due to it appearing in the background).
