—Brawl manual description

The Assist Trophy (アシストフィギュア, Assist Figure) is an item introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that, when picked up, breaks open and summons a random Nintendo or third-party character to aid the user. Assist Trophies work very similarly to Poké Balls. However, no Pokémon come out of them, and once an Assist Trophy is grabbed, it is automatically activated, assuming the holder is standing on the ground, and not in a jump, attack, or hitstun. Some Assist Trophies must be unlocked in order to be used, such as Gray Fox from Metal Gear. Unlike the Poké Ball, this item can be eaten by moves such as Kirby and King Dedede's Inhale, and Munchlax.

The majority of Assist Trophies in Brawl are undamageable, with only Starfy and Lakitu being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even KO'd. In Super Smash Bros. 4, however, some Assist Trophies can be attacked, potentially interrupting their attacks or otherwise manipulating how they perform and even being able to KO them (this can be seen by their ending animations coming earlier than normal, them having their own death animation, or simply teleporting away). However, there is no reward for KOing an Assist Trophy. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, more than one Assist Trophy can be on the stage at once. A larger number of Assist Trophies are also made able to be KO'd, which grants the player who KO'd them one point. When the Assist Trophy is close to becoming KO'd, the player who can summon it can KO it to prevent other players from gaining a point.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Assist Trophies return in Super Smash Bros. 4 with a more iridescent design and a softer "popping" sound upon use, instead of the glass-shattering sound effect it had in Brawl. Unlike in Brawl, where all Assist Trophies apart from Starfy and Laiktu could not be damaged nor defeated, several Assist Trophies can now be KO'd, including several returning ones who could not be attacked in Brawl. There are 39 Assist Trophies in total, with 21 new assists and 18 returning from Brawl, but with 9 assists cut from Brawl. Both the 3DS and Wii U versions include exactly the same Assist Trophies, and unlike in Brawl, there are no unlockable Assist Trophies.

Trophy descriptions

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

File:Assist Trophy Trophy.jpg
The Assist Trophy trophy in Brawl.

A capsule that contains characters who will help you out in battle. You won't know who's in the capsule until you open it. It may be someone everyone knows or someone who's a bit of a mystery. The majority of these characters are invulnerable, so attacking them is not an option. You know what that means, right? RUN!

Super Smash Bros. 4

Assist Trophy trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
Assist Trophy trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
North America This strange capsule contains a guest character who will aid you in your battle. Who will emerge? Grab it to find out! Maybe it'll be a famous character from a popular game, or perhaps a goofy sidekick here to prove his or her worth. Too bad you can't choose who shows up or control them...
Europe A mystery capsule containing a guest character who'll stand by you in battle. You won't know who's in it till you open it! It could be almost anyone from all sorts of games - a famed warrior or a slightly loopy sidekick! Whoever it is, you can't control them, so you'll just have to trust them.

Trivia

  • Little Mac, Dark Samus and Isabelle are the only Assist Trophies in the series to become playable characters in later installments.
  • Isaac and Gray Fox are the only Assist Trophies to skip an installment in the franchise and return in a later game. Ironically, both were treated as "newcomer" Assist Trophies on the Ultimate website.
  • Gray Fox is the only Assist Trophy in Brawl cut in Smash 4 to be from a universe with a playable character (as Animal Crossing did not have a playable character in Brawl).
  • Andross, Devil, Dr. Wright, Hammer Bro., Jeff, Knuckle Joe, Lyn, Metroid, Nintendog, Samurai Goroh, Shadow, Starfy, and Waluigi are the only Assist Trophies to appear in more than two games since their introduction in Brawl.
    • Likewise, Infantry and Tanks, Kat & Ana, Lakitu and Spinies, Saki Amamiya, and Tingle are the only Assist Trophies that have appeared in two installments, but absent in Ultimate.
  • The Yoshi and Pokémon series are the only two franchises with playable characters in every installment to lack Assist Trophies.
    • Because the Pokémon series uses Poké Balls instead, the Yoshi series is the only one to lack any assist characters whatsoever.
  • Dillon's Rolling Western is the only Assist Trophy-only universe introduced in Super Smash Bros. 4 to have solely been developed by a second-party developer (being Vanpool).
  • Hammer Bro. is the only Assist Trophy character to appear as an enemy in the Subspace Emissary.
  • Dillon is the only Assist Trophy to receive a substantial aesthetic change in his appearance between installments, as in SSB4 he was based off of his appearance in Dillon's Rolling Western and its sequel, while in Ultimate, he is based off of his Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers appearance.
  • In Brawl, the Mario universe is the only universe to have more than one Assist Trophy.
    • In Super Smash Bros. 4, it is tied with The Legend of Zelda for the most Assist Trophies, with four.
    • In Ultimate, it has the most Assist Trophies, with five.
    • As such, it is the only universe to have always had more than one Assist Trophy.
  • Prince Sablé, Sukapon, Jill, Ray MK III, Magnus, and Phosphora are the only Assist Trophy characters that have appeared in only one game outside of their Smash appearances.
  • Shovel Knight is the first and (as of Ultimate) only Assist Trophy from an Indie game developer.
  • Shadow the Hedgehog is the only Assist Trophy to have his voice actor change between Brawl and Smash 4.
  • The Mega Man franchise has the most Assist Trophies out of any third party franchise, at 3, with Elec Man appearing in Smash 4, and Zero and Wily Capsule appearing in Ultimate.
  • The Animal Crossing franchise is the only franchise to have a different Assist Trophy in each game, with Mr. Resetti appearing in Brawl, Isabelle appearing in Smash 4, and Kapp'n appearing in Ultimate.
  • In Brawl's Classic Mode, if the character who summoned an Assist Trophy is KO'd, the Assist Trophy disappears. However, this does not happen in All-Star Mode.
  • In the Smash Direct for SSB4, Waluigi was shown as a Wario series Assist Trophy, despite never appearing in a Wario game. By the game's release, he is corrected to represent the Mario series, like in Brawl.
  • In SSB4, the silhouette figure within the Assist Trophy capsule will occasionally blink its eyes.
  • In the GameCube preview issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the Super Smash Bros. Melee article comments that Nintendo originally tried to implement Assist Trophies in Melee. The only trophy concept they gave details on was one that would release the ducks from Duck Hunt to fly around the stage and interfere with the fighters.[citation needed]
  • Attendants at the 2007 Whobby Game Festival who played a demo of Brawl claimed to have seen Assist Trophies of Duster from Mother 3, Muddy Mole from Mole Mania, and Rosalina, but the veracity of the claims was never proven, and there is no evidence in the final game that these characters were ever planned.
    • Similarly, attendants of E3 and players of the Smashfest event claimed to have seen Chunky Kong as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. 4, although he was not seen in any following public demos, and is absent in the 3DS and Wii U version of the game.
