Trophy: Difference between revisions

The backstory of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series from ''Melee'' onwards depicts characters as coming to life from trophies (and in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]]'', plush dolls). While an occasional misconception is that the fighters are living figurines in a literal sense, the implications of this concept demonstrate otherwise and have varied as the series has progressed. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the fighters exist as trophies when dormant or dead and transform into living beings to fight against each other. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]'', trophies do not exist at all within the game (aside from [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]]) and have been stated to merely exist as the fighters' forms in the "real world", whereas the characters exist as living beings in the "world of imagination" in which the game takes place.

Trophies were not present in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. However, two precursors to their debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' can be seen in the game.
