Special Flag, also called S-Flag, is an item from numerous games developed by Namco. It will appear in Super Smash Bros. 4 as an item in an unknown capacity; screenshots suggest characters will hold it up akin to Assist Trophies, though no function is currently known.
Origin
Special Flags have appeared in multiple games developed by Namco. The item debuted in the maze game of Rally-X, acting as an item that had to be collected by the player alongside other flags scattered throughout levels; the Special Flag, however, gave more points than other flags.
The item has appeared in more recent games by Namco, often acting as an easter egg to players; among these appearances include Star Fox: Assault and Tales of Vesperia. Similar to the various series symbols that have appeared in the Smash Bros. series, the Special Flag has also been a flagship symbol for the company, even being used as the favicon for its official website.
