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


The '''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, similiar to the [[Poké Ball]] item. This is unique in the fact that, the character released is from an actual [[Nintendo]] or 3rd Party 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.
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.

{| class=sortable align=center width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; font-family:Arial;"
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.
 
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''.

|Hammer Bro
| Knuckle Joe from the ''Kirby'' series, will use the Vulcan Jab on all other players, and then finish off with either Smash Punch, or Rising Break.
|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.

|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.

|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.

|Ashley
| Lyn enters from ''Fire Emblem (GBA)'', the very first Fire Emblem released worldwide. When released, she charges her sword, then disappears, and reappears near an opposing players, slashing them at alarming speeds. Could be considered as a faster version of Samurai Goroh.
|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
| A Metroid from the series of the same name will latch onto the nearest opponent, and suck their health away like a leech.
|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.

|Hammer Bro
| Mr. Resetti is a character from the ''Animal Crossing'' series. When he is released, he simply stands in one spot, and lectures the players through a speech bubble.
|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!

|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.

|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.

|Waluigi
| Samurai Goroh from the ''F-Zero'' series appears and slashes away at the fighters with his katana. This is only limited to a horizontal direction, so fighters should jump on a high platform.
|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!
| [[Image:StafyBrawl.jpg|center|150px]]
| align=center | [[Stafy]]
| Stafy, from the Japan-only ''Densetsu no Stafy'' series, appears as a vulnerable Assist Trophy. Stafy will perform his spin attack on an opponent if he has the chance.  However, fighters can easily attack him and send him flying.

==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>
[[Image: Trophy164.PNG|thumb|right|]]
*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.
''These airborne menaces used to ride their clouds exclusively as Bowser's henchmen. They typically hover just out of Mario's reach and hurl Spinies with irritating precision. More recently, however, they've been known to take on less evil tasks, such as doing camera work for sports events and even helping Mario on his quests.''
*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).
 
=== Trophy Information for Metroid ===
 
[[Image: Trophy231.PNG|thumb|left]]
 
''A parasitic life form that can absorb all types of energy, Metroids have strong resistance to most conventional weaponry. To defeat them, Samus Aran had to freeze them with Ice Beam shots and then blast them with missiles. Mochtroids, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei.''
 
=== Trophy Information for Mr. Resetti ===
 
[[Image: Trophy269.PNG|thumb|right|]]
 
''Prepare to receive a really long talking-to if you reset this game: the next time you play, Mr. Resetti will be waiting to deliver his best scolding. No matter what your intentions are, pressing the RESET Button will bring you face-to-face with this fervent character. Sometimes the only way to shut him up is to apologize.''
 
=== Trophy Information for Samurai Goroh ===
 
[[Image: Trophy223.PNG|thumb|left|]]
 
''A rival bounty hunter, Samuarai Goroh has crossed paths with Captain Falcon in many a dark corner of the universe. He also goes head-to-head with Falcon in F-Zero races, so the threads of their fates seem to be deeply intertwined. Samurai Goroh is famous for his katana, and his signature T-shirt is instantly recognizable.''
 
=== Trophy Information for Waluigi ===
[[Image:Trophy207.PNG|frame|right]]
''This tall, thin, evil-looking guy seems to be Luigi's rival. He works hard at his mischief: Waluigi reportedly spent a lot of time training for his debut in Mario Tennis by honing his ability to antagonize the Mario brothers. While it's general knowledge that he's the same age as Luigi, his relationship to Wario is unclear.''

''A brilliant scientist formerly employed by the Cornerian Army. He took his research too far, and the disastrous results labeled him a Level 1 offender, resulting in this banishment to the nearby Planet Venom. After building a base and declaring himself emperor, he swore he would rule the Lylat system. Thanks to Team Star Fox's heroism, the madman has yet to achieve this.''

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.”

An Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The Assist Trophy (alternatively formatted as 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.

Trophy information[edit]

These are the trophies of Assist Trophy characters associated with the Super Mario franchise.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Image Name Description
Hammer Bro trophy Hammer Bro 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.
Kat & Ana trophy Kat & Ana 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.
Lakitu & Spinies trophy Lakitu & Spinies 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.
Waluigi trophy Waluigi 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[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).
