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

The 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 couldn't make the cut as playable fighters. Almost all characters that come out of the Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are invincible; however, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, 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 don't appear on the stage itself such as Andross and Nintendog remain invulnerable to attacks.[1]

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. Except in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[2], only one Assist Trophy can appear at a time, unlike Poké Balls.

Trophy information

Image Name Description
BrawlTrophy139.png Assist Trophy A capsule that contains characters who will help you out in battle. You won't know who's in the capsule until you open it. It may be someone everyone knows or someone who's a bit of a mystery. The majority of these characters are invulnerable, so attacking them is not an option. You know what that means, right? RUN!
BrawlTrophy303.png Andross 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.

When it gives orders, its cyclopean minions turn cranks that scroll the maze in different directions.

Trivia

  • A concept similar to Assist Trophies was considered for Super Smash Bros. Melee, but the idea was scrapped due to development circumstances.[16]
  • 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 Mario series 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, the figure in the trophy appears to be occasionally blinking.
