The '''Assist Trophy''' ({{ja|アシストフィギュア}}, ''Assist Figure'') is an [[item]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that, when picked up, breaks open and summons a random [[Nintendo]] or third-party character to aid the user. Assist Trophies work very similarly to [[Poké Ball]]s. However, no [[Pokémon]] come out of them, and once an ''Assist Trophy'' is grabbed, it is automatically activated, assuming the holder is standing on the ground, and not in a [[jump]], [[attack]], or [[hitstun]]. Some Assist Trophies must be unlocked in order to be used, such as [[Isaac]] from Golden Sun. Unlike the Poké Ball, this item can be eaten by moves such as Kirby and King Dedede's [[Inhale]], and [[Munchlax]].

The majority of Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' are undamageable, with only Starfy and Lakitu being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even [[KO|KO'd]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', however, some Assist Trophies can be attacked, potentially interrupting their attacks or otherwise manipulating how they perform and even being able to [[KO]] them (this can be seen by their ending animations coming earlier than normal, them having their own death animation, or simply teleporting away). However, there is no reward for KOing an Assist Trophy. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', more than one Assist Trophy can be on the stage at once. A larger number of Assist Trophies are also made able to be KO'd, which grants the player who KO'd them one point.

Assist Trophies return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' with a more iridescent design and a softer "popping" sound upon use, instead of the glass-shattering sound effect it had in ''Brawl''. Unlike in ''Brawl'', where all Assist Trophies apart from Starfy and Laiktu could not be damaged nor defeated, several Assist Trophies can now be KO'd, including several returning ones who could not be attacked in ''Brawl''. There are 39 Assist Trophies in total, with 21 new trophies and 18 returning from ''Brawl''. Both the 3DS and Wii U versions include exactly the same Assist Trophies, and unlike in ''Brawl'', there are no unlockable Assist Trophies.

[[File:Assist Trophy Trophy.jpg|right|thumb|100px|The Assist Trophy trophy in ''Brawl''.]]

''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!''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''A mystery capsule containing a guest character who'll stand by you in battle. You won't know who's in it till you open it! It could be almost anyone from all sorts of games - a famed warrior or a slightly loopy sidekick! Whoever it is, you can't control them, so you'll just have to trust them.''

{{Trophy games|console1=Wii|game1=Super Smash Bros. Brawl (03/2008)|console2=WiiU|game2=Super Smash Bros. for Wii U}}

==Trivia==

*In ''Brawl'''s {{SSBB|Classic Mode}}, if the character who summoned an Assist Trophy is KO'd, the Assist Trophy disappears. However, this does not happen in [[All-Star Mode]].

*In the GameCube preview issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' article comments that Nintendo originally tried to implement Assist Trophies in ''Melee''. The only trophy concept they gave details on was one that would release the ducks from ''{{uv|Duck Hunt}}'' to fly around the stage and interfere with the fighters.{{fact}}

*In the Smash Direct for ''SSB4'', Waluigi was shown as a ''Wario'' series Assist Trophy, despite never appearing in a ''Wario'' game. By the game's release, he is corrected to represent the ''Mario'' series, like in ''Brawl''.

*In ''SSB4'', the silhouette figure within the Assist Trophy capsule will occasionally blink its eyes.

*Attendants at the 2007 [http://www.whobby.com/ Whobby Game Festival] who played a demo of ''Brawl'' [[List of rumors#Assist trophy rumors|claimed to have seen]] Assist Trophies of Duster from ''Mother 3'', Muddy Mole from ''Mole Mania'', and [[Rosalina]], but the veracity of the claims was never proven, and there is no evidence in the final game that these characters were ever planned.

**Similarly, attendants of E3 and players of the Smashfest event [[Rumors#Chunky Kong Assist Trophy|claimed to have seen]] Chunky Kong as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', although he was not seen in any following public demos, and is absent in the 3DS and Wii U version of the game.

*In ''Brawl'', the {{uv|Mario}} universe is the only universe to have more than one Assist Trophy.

**In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', it is tied with {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} for the most Assist Trophies, with four.

*The {{uv|Yoshi}} and {{uv|Pokémon}} series are the only three franchises with playable characters in every installment to lack Assist Trophies.

*The {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} series is the only third-party series to contain more than one Assist trophy throughout the series, as Shadow the Hedgehog appears in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' while Knuckles the Echidna appears in ''Ultimate''.
