Trophy

A Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. (this shows how the trophy looks if zoomed in on before being caught - a trophy with this appearance does not exist).

Trophies are collectable figures the player can find in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They are collected by finding them in some Adventure mode stages, by getting them in a Classic mode bonus stage, by getting them in a lottery, by completing certain event missions, or by completing Classic, Adventure, or All-Star mode. Additionally, trophies can be collected in the Mario Strikers series, Mario Tennis 64, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Golf series, Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix. Trophies are also awarded to the best three drivers in a Grand Prix race at the award ceremony in the Mario Kart series.

Super Smash Bros. series

A trophy of Mario coming to life in Super Smash Bros. Melee (top) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (bottom).

In the world of Super Smash Bros., the trophies exist for only one reason: to fight. When they are returned to a trophy, they cannot fight and this state is similar to death. Trophies return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as collectible items that give a detailed description of a character, just like they did in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Brawl also features a new type of trophy called Assist Trophies, which will temporarily call another character into battle. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode also depicts the Trophies as the main characters. They are revived when another character touches the edge of their trophy base, and get turned back into trophies when they are defeated or shot with a Dark Cannon. Trophies do not make an appearance in the original Super Smash Bros. in any form and the characters in the game are actually just dolls.

Trivia

• A Trophy featuring Mario, Luigi, & Bowser (along other images) is/was used for the Nintendo 3DS demo at E3 2010 and StreetPass Mii Plaza.
• Being turned back into a trophy is very similar to fainting in the Pokémon series.
