Assist Trophy

Assist Trophy is an item in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is unique, as it will call forth a random character to assist the player who used the item. This is unique in the fact that, the character released is from an actual Nintendo series, but can't be playable. So, it will introduce characters who couldn't make the cut as playable fighters. Almost all characters that come out of the Assist Trophy will be invincible. At this moment, only four characters have been confirmed, with more to be revealed.

List of Assist Characters

Assist Trophies
	Hammer Bro.	A Hammer Bro. appears on the stage and throws a hammer at opponents. It can jump up and throw them in midair, although it is currently unknown if it can throw hammers while on the ground.
File:Nintendog.PNG	Nintendog	A giant Nintendog from the game Nintendogs block the players' views by covering the whole screen causing great distraction.
File:Samurai Goro 3.jpg	Samurai Goroh	Samurai Goroh from the F-Zero series appears and slashes away at the fighters with his katana. This is only limited to a horizontal direction, so fighters should jump on a high platform.
File:Assist03 070710d.jpg	Dr. Wright	Dr Wright from Sim City appears and attacks opponents by building large skyscrapers beneath them, sending them flying upwards. The attack is executed right in front of Dr. Wright and the vertical range is very high, so fighters should run away immediately after he is released.

Trivia

• The Assist Trophy works almost exactly like a Poké Ball. However, it sends out an actual character instead of a Pokémon.
