Editing Item

An '''item''' is an object, that either randomly appears on-stage during a match or is summoned by a character's [[special move]], that can be picked up and used by characters. Many items can be wielded once picked up, while others apply an effect, and almost all can be thrown at opponents. Items are a large part of the gameplay of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, but problems with randomness and inconsistent risk/reward balance results in [[Tournament legal|tournament rulesets]] universally requiring that random spawning of items be disabled using the [[Item Switch]] before starting the match.

 

If all recovery items are turned off in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the chance of naturally occurring items like the [[apple]]s dropped by [[Whispy Woods]] on [[Green Greens]] and [[Chansey]]'s [[egg]]s recovering health is eliminated; the apples will all be projectiles and the eggs will either be explosives or drop other items. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' the same is true regarding the apples (since Chansey does not appear). Additionally, the {{b|vegetables|Ice Climber}} on [[Summit]] will not appear if [[food]] is turned off.

Items appear from stage-dependent designated locations at various times throughout a match based on the frequency set in the [[Item Switch]]. Characters can pick up items by standing near one and pressing the attack button; items can also be grabbed in midair starting in ''Melee'' with the grab button, or grabbed during dashes and aerial attacks in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. Characters can only hold one item at a time (if {{SSB4|Villager}}'s [[Pocket]] ability is discounted). If an item is left alone, it will eventually disappear, flashing briefly beforehand ([[Pitfall]]s, [[Green Shell]]s and [[Ore Club]]s being exceptions). Items that are picked up by characters can be dropped or thrown with the [[grab]] button, and they may be dropped if the character takes a hard hit. The damage done by a thrown item depends on how fast it's moving. Most items can also be [[Item-swallowing|swallowed]] in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', and in the latter, can even heal these characters when they do so, unless the item is an explosive.

In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the chance of a character dropping their held item when hit is (hitbox damage)/60. Thus, if a hit deals 6% damage, the chance of it causing an item drop on a given frame is 10%. Roy’s fully charged [[Flare Blade]] in ''Melee'' deals 50 damage, so it has a drop chance of 83.333%.

In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' this probability was decreased; normal items now use the formula CEIL(hitbox damage)/70. In addition, certain non-standard items use different formulas. In ''Brawl'', this includes [[Dragoon]] pieces and the [[Smash Ball]], where the drop chance = INT(hitbox damage)/50. In ''Smash 4'', the chance of dropping each Dragoon piece was decreased to INT(hitbox damage)/100. This formula also applies to the [[Daybreak]]. The [[Master Ball]] item also has a non-standard drop chance, but the formula is not known.

Items can be grouped into several categories based on their effects.

*'''Shooting''' items fire projectiles when used, typically replacing the neutral attack and [[neutral aerial]] of the user. They all have limited ammunition and will merely shoot blanks once it runs out. In ''SSB4'', trying to shoot an empty item will instead simply throw it.

*'''Summoning''' items release an ally that fights along side you or your team when picked up.

*'''Collectible''' items do not affect the match but instead are added to the player's collection once picked up. Computer players will not attempt to pick up collectible items, but if they do so accidentally they will not count.

In addition to the above, certain items can be '''heavy''', which limits those that pick them up into walking slowly (or not at all in ''SSB'') and throwing. Only Donkey Kong can move quickly or jump while carrying a heavy item.
