The Launch Star (スーパースターリング, Super Star Ring) is an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Mechanics
The Launch Star spawns on the stage like most items. When picked up and thrown, however, it will become larger and float in the air. The Launch Star will aim in the opposite direction of which it was thrown.
Whenever a character touches a Launch Star hovering in the air, it will launch them, doing no damage but dealing heavy knockback. The knockback is usually well enough to rocket characters over blast lines, especially if it the Launch Star was pointing upwards. This makes the Launch Star one of the most dangerous items in the series.
The Launch Star will stay in place for around 10 seconds after being thrown, before despawning.
