Assist Trophy

An Assist Trophy, as it appears in its unreleased form.Template:FA-article

Kirby, about to release an Assist Trophy character.

An Assist Trophy is an item that, when grabbed, summons a Nintendo character out of 27 choices of various origin to quickly aid the holder, though there are currently three third party Assist Trophies. Assist Trophies work nearly identical 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 Isaac from Golden Sun. Unlike the Poké Ball, this can be eaten.

Only one Assist Trophy (and the character it releases) can be in a match at once. The next Assist Trophy will not appear until the data for the character it will release is fully loaded.

There is no such thing as zombies
