    Overview

    Assist Trophies are items that can be used in the fighting game series Super Smash Bros., first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Similar to Poké Balls, Assist Trophies when picked up and activated will summon a random character into battle. Unlike Poké Balls, the summoned character is not a Pokémon and instead is a character from other Nintendo franchises, like Little Mac from Punch-Out!!, or a Hammer Brother from Super Mario Bros.

    Several characters, like Little Mac, Isabelle from Animal Crossing, and Dark Samus from the Metroid Prime series first appeared as Assist Trophies before being promoted to playable characters in future games.
