| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Flipper
The Flipper is an item in SSBM that can be thrown, originating from the Balloon Fight game. After it travels a certain distance, it stops in mid-air. When hit, it spins either slowly or violently (depending on either the force of contact or the strength of the attack), causing damage from contact with it. These can be placed next to each other to cause an opponent to get stuck between them, or they can be placed at integral parts of the stage, such as ledges or in between walls. This will block your opponent from recovering, or it will not allow them to pass through certain points. The downfalls to this item are that it is easily avoidable and only lasts a few seconds.
When it is thrown on moving stages (such as Big Blue, Rainbow Cruise, Poké Floats, etc.) the Flipper will become stationary and not move with the stage. This is best noted on Big Blue, where the Flipper hangs still for a split-second, then flies offscreen as the cars speed away from it.
Many people believe it to have been replaced by the Bumper in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is due to the effect being almost the same, and the Flipper's absence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- Smash throwing it gives 11% damage
- Walking into it gives 1% damage
