This custom Kirby has a high attack stat and a Critical Hitter Lollipop to deal 364%. This is otherwise impossible.

Equipment is a customization option in Super Smash Bros. 4. Three pieces of equipment can be attached to a character, which will modify their attack, defense, and speed.

There are three classes of equipment. Orange equipment is based on weaponry and improves attack but lowers defense. Blue equipment is based on clothing and improves defense but lowers speed. Green equipment is based on footwear and improves speed but lowers attack. All three types can also bestow secondary effects, which may either be positive or negative.

Up to 3,000 pieces of equipment can be stored, although the limit seems to vary. Older pieces of equipment will be deleted to make room for any new equipment obtained.

Equipment categories

This table lists the effects of increasing the value of a category. If a category is negative, its effect will be inverted. Stats can exceed maximum values when using multiply effects.

Type Effect
Attack Increases damage done by all attacks, including special moves and items, up to a maximum of 2x. Freeze frames are increased proportionally, however knockback is not particularly strongly affected. Having negative Attack will decrease how much damage the fighter deals, making launching enemies take longer than expected. Equipment that increases Attack also decreases Defense.
Defense Decreases damage received (and therefore knockback taken) from all sources; it does not affect weight at all, but it does give a fighter knockback resistance (on top of the reduced knockback from taking lower damage). It also reduces the growth rate of Aura. However, negative defense values will make the fighter take more damage than normal, along with being more vulnerable to knockback. Hazards that normally do not KO, like the catapult in Pirate Ship, may KO fighters with low enough Defense. Equipment that increases Defense also decreases Speed.
Speed Increases walking, dashing, air speed, jump height, gravity and both falling and fast-falling speed. Reduces landing lag (excluding from airdodges or helpless falling. Positive speed values will lower the weight limit for holding Smash Run powers, while negative speed values increase the weight limit. However, having negative Speed will decrease the fighter's walking, dashing, air speed, jump height, and increase landing lag, making recovering difficult. Equipment that increases Speed also decreases Attack.

Equipment types

Equipment comes in various types, which each have three rarities. Higher rarities result in stronger stat modifications. If a piece of equipment has an extra effect, it does not show its rarity. The frequency rate of each type of equipment appears to be based on how many characters can utilize it - for example, Swords are much more common than Pikmin.

Equipment usage

Each character has special item types they can equip. The equipment type "badges" can be equipped by any character. Items is simply the default weight limit value that the character has; this is used for Smash Run.

Equipment bonus effects

The following table collects all bonus effects found on equipment. Negative effects may in fact be desirable if the player thinks they can handle them, as any equipment with a negative effect is balanced by a much smaller stat penalty. Likewise, equipment with positive effects have smaller stat bonuses as a trade-off. Different effects have different degrees of influence on the equipment's stat boosts. There are a total of 93 bonus effects. Wearing multiples of one bonus effect usually (but not always) makes the effect stronger, but not in a linear fashion.

Equipment stats

All equipment is randomly generated; two Brawn Badges or two Sprinter Boots can have completely different positive and negative effect values. The following rules are known to govern how equpiment is generated:

  • The positive value can be any value from 10 to 90. The negative value is between 50% and 70% of the positive one. For example, a positive value of 35 can have a negative value from 17 to 24.
  • The rarity title is based on the positive value: common is 10 to 30, uncommon is 31 to 60, and rare is 61 to 90.
  • Equipment with a positive bonus effect have a lower positive value, while equipment with a negative bonus effect have a lower negative value. The strength of the modification is listed in the bonus table above, with negative numbers representing positive bonus effects.
  • After the preceding calculations, neither equipment stats can have values between 5 and −5.
  • Badges (Brawn, Protection, and Agility) have their stats multiplied by 0.72, compensating for how any character can equip them.
  • Both the positive and negative stats are rounded down, if necessary.
Equipment Rarity Positive value Negative value Sell Price
Common 10 - 30 5 - 21 2 - 12
Uncommon 31 - 60 15 - 42 17 - 56
Rare 61 - 90 30 - 63 51 - 102+

The sell price of equipment is also based on the strength of its values and bonus effect, with the formula being (1.0p - 0.6n + 1.1pb - 0.4nb) * t:

  • p and n are the positive and negative values, taken after the badge modification.
  • pb and nb are the absolute value of the modifiers for positive and negative bonus effects; they are 0 if not applicable.
  • t is a scaling value based on the power of the positive value before any modification:
Positive value Price scaling
10 - 20 0.36
21 - 30 0.58
31 - 40 0.97
41 - 50 1.22
51 - 60 1.35
61 - 70 1.44
71 - 85 1.71
86 - 90 ?.??

Trivia

  • The names of the Pokémon-exclusive equipment reference battle items in the Pokémon games that would boost a Pokémon's stat.
  • Charizard is the only character to be able to use two types of specialized (i.e. non-badge) equipment within the same category, having both access to X Attack and Fake Nails in the attack category. This also makes it the only Pokémon character that can use something other than badges and the Pokémon equipment.
  • Dr. Mario and Ganondorf are the only clones (counting semi-clones) not to share all 3 types of equipment with their respective parent clones.
    • Conversely, Wario, Ike and the Pokémon characters are the only non-clones to share all equipment types with at least one other character.
  • Mr. Game & Watch is the only character not to share any non-badge equipment with any other character.
  • The Arm Cannon, Beam Whip, Blaster, Zapper, Booster and Space Suit all share the same rarity titles.
  • Turbo Boost's icon is a reference to the Speed Up patch from Kirby Air Ride.
  • There is an interesting glitch when King Dedede is equipped with Double Final Smasher equipment. If he fails his Final Smash, he gains the Final Smash glow as soon as his fail animation ends, but the glow disappears almost immediately after, so he cannot use his Final Smash again.
  • The rarity titles for the Gloves may be a reference to the infamous peripheral.
  • The Legendary Bat equipment shares the same name of one of the Bats that Ness can use in EarthBound.
  • Should a game's save file be hacked to insert a piece of equipment with positive and negative values of 0, the game will delete it.
  • It is possible to have 2 identical pieces of equipment with the same stats, and name, but sell for 2 different prices.
    • This is only noticeable with the Brawn Badge, Protection Badge, and Agility Badge, however, due to the 0.72x multiplier that the badge equipment uses.
      • For an example, a Super Brawn Badge that has +36 attack can either have a 1.22x price scale, or a 1.35x price scale; 50 and 51 are both rounded down to 36 after the 0.72x multiplier is applied.
  • Oddly, when organizing the equipment alphabetically, Super Suit will come before Super Final Smasher equipment. It also happens with Hyper Suit and Hyper Smasher equipment.
  • When someone uses their Final Smash, their equipment is temporarily disabled. This is easy to notice with high attack or Auto-Heal. However, if the victim has lower defense, they will take more damage than usual.
  • After selling equipment, if the player quits without saving the changes to the character, they get the equipment back. However, if the player were to feed equipment to an amiibo, and then exit without saving to the amiibo, that equipment will disappear anyway. The only way to get it back is to quit the game without letting the game save.
