The Drill is an item in Super Smash Bros. 4. As the name suggests, it is a projectile item that fires a large drill, which can hit opponents repeatedly and potentially drag them off the stage. It can only be fired once. The firing base can be thrown after the drill is fired, however.
Origin
While official and in-game sources refer to the item as originating from the Super Smash Bros. universe, its appearance is nearly identical to the Drill Arm from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Similarly to the item, the Drill Arm's charged shot fires a drill that plows through enemies, dealing ongoing damage for a time. Unlike the Drill Arm, however, the item has a much shorter base, no homing ability, and can only be fired once.
Another likely source is the Drill Form from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, which has Kirby shoot a drill forward in a very similar fashion, though does not explode.
