The '''Cracker Launcher''' ({{ja|クラッカーランチャー}}, ''Kurakkā Ranchā'') is a shooting item that allows the user to rapidly launch firecrackers, which bounce off walls and explode on impact with a floor or enemy. The character using it can aim the launcher at different angles by tilting the [[control stick]] up or down. It is also possible to move forwards and backwards, while turning around is done by tapping the control stick sideways. It could be said to be the shooting equivalent of the [[Hammer]], as it is the single most powerful weapon of its type, but it can still be [[reflect]]ed. It is also like the Hammer in that, while holding it, a character is limited to a single [[jump]] and no other attacks (aside from dropping or throwing it). Cracker Launchers will be dropped if the holder [[flinch]]es even slightly. When used near a wall, the character will lose the launcher and take damage with strong [[knockback]].  

Aiming the Cracker Launcher can be hard to do and turning can be a hassle, but it can easily be used to take out large groups of enemies. Each Launcher can fire 16 shots before running out. The blast radius makes it easy to damage others, but the shots themselves can be difficult to get the first hit with. The last shot is distinguished by a grey trail of smoke, a different shooting noise, and is more powerful than the rest<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various38.html</ref>.

*Note: Since the player cannot dash with the Cracker Launcher, no dash throw could be recorded. Also, they cannot drop the Cracker Launcher in mid-air; it will just act as a forward tilt throw.

''A portable launcher you can carry under your arm. Fire it to launch HUGE missiles... Well, OK, actually it just launches flashy fireworks. You can adjust the barrel angle to change your shot trajectories to blast those in front of you and even above you. It's a great item to have around. When holding it, turn by tapping the direction opposite where you`re facing<ref name="NTSCtrophy">The last line was an edit for the [[PAL]] version of the game. The NTSC version bore the inaccurate line: "Be warned--the recoil pushes you in the opposite direction in which you're firing."</ref>.''

*Unlike the [[Ray Gun]] or [[Super Scope]], the Cracker Launcher appears to have no trigger in which to set it off.

*It can clash with other attacks, sometimes resulting in attack lag, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RKvlCh36bA&feature=related here].
