-The '''Screw Attack''' ({{ja|スクリューアタック|Sukuryu Atakku}}, ''Screw Attack'') is an [[item]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The item alters a character's first and second jumps (leaving unchanged any further jumps they may have), changing them to mimic [[Samus Aran]]'s [[up special move]] (for which the item is named).  In ''Melee'', it can be thrown at an enemy, knocking them  upwards in a {{b|Screw Attack|move}}, dragging any nearby opponents (even the thrower) into the attack. As in Samus' special move, the player hit by a Screw Attack becomes [[helpless]]. Many players use this in a pseudo-combo with Samus' up special.
+The '''Screw Attack''' ({{ja|スクリューアタック|Sukuryū Atakku}}, ''Screw Attack'') is an [[item]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. When held, the item alters a character's first and second [[jump]]s (leaving any further jumps they may have unchanged), changing them to mimic [[Samus]]' [[up special move]], also named the {{b|Screw Attack|move}}.
+In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack. Unlike when using it normally, however, this leaves the victim [[helpless]] in the process. When thrown, Screw Attacks can steal [[KO]]s, since the distance the character rises after getting hit by it depends on how fast the character is getting launched. If characters are launched from a high percentage and get hit by a Screw Attack, they fly up very quickly while performing the Screw Attack and often cross the [[blast line]] for a [[Star KO]].
+In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Screw Attack is instead a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]]. As a result, it cannot be thrown as in ''Melee'', but allows the user to attack as normal while it is being held. It will eventually fall off, however. A very large portion of the attack from ''Brawl'' onwards is [[interruptibility|interruptible]], allowing it to be cancelled into any of the character's attacks.

-When thrown, Screw Attacks can steal [[KO]]s, since the distance the character flying after getting hit by a Screw Attack depends on how fast the character is getting launched. If characters are launched from a high percentage and get hit by a Screw Attack, they fly up very quickly with the Screw Attack animation and break the [[blast line]], often resulting in a [[Star KO]].
+Each attack deals a single hit of 8% [[damage]] in ''Melee'', and up to ten hits for 1% damage each in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
-When jumping, it does 8% [[damage]] in ''Melee'', and up to ten hits for 1% damage each in ''Brawl'' and ''4''.

-In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Screw Attack is a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]] and as a result, can no longer be thrown but allows the user to attack as normal, having their ground and midair jump being screw attacks as originally (only the first midair jump if a character has more than two).  The badge can be worn at the same time as the Franklin Badge, and will eventually fall off. Most, if not all of the attack when jumping is [[interruptibility|interruptible]], allowing for the ability to cancel the attack into any one of a character's aerials or specials.

-*In ''Melee'', the mechanic of forcing opponents to use a Screw Attack is done by using a unique hitbox effect. As a result, it is simple to hack any hitbox in the game to make opponents do Screw Attacks.
