[[File:FanIconSSB.png|thumb|The fan in ''SSB''.]]
In all three games that it appears in, the Fan acts as a comical weapon by being in the extremes of attack and speed; while individual hits of the fan are very weak, doing only about 1% to 2%, the ability for characters to quickly use it can allow it to rack up high damages. In addition, this high attack rate makes it difficult for characters to escape the attack, as well as making it easier to potentially trap other characters due to the back [[hitbox]] having [[forward]] [[knockback]], and the front having backwards knockback. However, this can be [[DI]]'d out of vertically, depending on the user and their [[falling speed]]. Any character can escape by SDI'ing in the direction they are being knocked, however, this requires a lot of technical skill.

==Damage==
Because of the Fan's physics, it will not bounce, making it impossible to record bounces. Also, when a Fan receives only downwards momentum, it will immediately go into a falling animation that will only do 1% and have upwards knockback, even when it is aerial down smash thrown. It will start the animation once it is dropped.

Despite this shortcoming, the Fan is quite effective as a shield breaker, and it works well at disrupting an enemy's equilibrium. Throw the fan to send your foe bouncing straight up into the sky.''

*The Fan appears as an item in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart Arcade GP}}''.
*The Fan appears as an item in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart Arcade GP}}''.
*The trophy description of the Fan in ''Brawl'' states that whacking foes with it turns them around. However, this is only true for the Fan's [[tilt]] attack. All other attacks with the Fan simply send the foe toward (neutral) or behind the user (smash).

*The Fan is one of the few items to have been removed after appearing in multiple ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles, with the Fan appearing in three games prior to its removal.
*The Fan, [[Spring]], [[Team Healer]], [[Egg]] and [[Red Shell]] are the only items to have been removed after appearing in multiple ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles, with the Fan appearing in three games prior to its removal.
*Interestingly in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the sound effect for {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Pound]] is named "item_harisen_m" in the game files, suggesting the Fan may have been intended to return in ''Ultimate''.
*The Japanese name for the Fan, which is ''harisen'', coincides with the Japanese name for {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s [[Forward smash|forward smash]] ("Breegull Bash" in English, "Harisen Kazooie" in Japanese). This could be a reference to a manzai act where someone hits another person on the head with a paper fan, while Banjo similarly hits people with Kazooie.  Masahiro Sakurai ruminates on the differences in the move's names while demonstrating Banjo & Kazooie's moveset in his [[Mr._Sakurai_Presents#Mr. Sakurai Presents "Banjo & Kazooie"|video presentation of ''Ultimate's'' Challenger Pack 3]].
