[[File:Assist Trophy Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]


The '''Assist Trophy''' (alternatively formatted as '''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.
[[Image:Assist_Trophy.jpg|thumb|150px|right|The '''Assist Trophy'''.]]


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.
'''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. 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 four characters have been confirmed, with more to be revealed.


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''.

Samurai Goro, [[Captain Falcon]]'s rival appears and slashes away at players with his katana. He is an F-Zero pilot, a Japanese-American swordsman. Samurai Goro will be invincible, as will most Assist Trophy characters, so the best solution when he is released is to run.

|Hammer Bro
|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.
|-
|[[File:BrawlTrophy301.png|100px]]
|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:BrawlTrophy164.png|100px]]
|Lakitu & 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 {{hover|effect|effect on them (PAL version)}}, but fireballs can dispatch them.
|-
|[[File:BrawlTrophy292.png|100px]]
|Waluigi
|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. Since then, he's had many brilliant game appearances. While the nature of his relationship to Wario is a mystery, the pair have hatched some devious schemes together.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===
The Assist Trophy works almost exactly like a [[Poké Ball]], however, it sends out an actual character instead of a [[Pokémon]].

|align=left|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.
|align=left|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.

|Chain Chomp
|align=left|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.
|align=left|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.

|[[File:SSB4TrophyHammerBro.png|100px]]
|Hammer Bro
|align=left|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.
|align=left|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!

|[[File:KatandAnaWiiU.png|100px]]
|Kat & Ana
|align=left|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.
|align=left|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.

|[[File:SSB4TrophyLakituSpinies.png|100px]]
|Lakitu & Spinies
|align=left|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.
|align=left|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.
|-
|[[File:SSB4TrophyWaluigi.png|100px]]
|Waluigi
|align=left|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!
|align=left|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==
*A concept similar to Assist Trophies was considered for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but the idea was scrapped due to development circumstances.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/01/31/dufl-sources/ The Definitive Unused Fighter List in Smash - Source Translations]. Source Gaming (January 31, 2016). Retrieved January 31, 2016.</ref>
*In the April 2014 Nintendo Direct focused on ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|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).
