List of Contents
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Barrel |
Break this to make a collection of items appear. If it's knocked on its side, it will roll around. |
 Capsule |
Break this to reveal the contents, or throw it at enemies to deal some damage. |
 Crate |
Break it to reveal a bunch of random items. Or throw it at opponents! |
 Grass |
Pluck this from the ground and some kind of item will appear. |
 Party Ball |
This ball will float up into the air, play a little tune, then release a bunch of items. |
 Rolling Crate |
It may look like a regular old box, but it isn't. It has wheels! |
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Beam Sword |
Attack with a beam sword. The stronger the attack, the longer the beam gets! |
 Death's Scythe |
A tilt or smash attack with this brutal weapon will KO opponents who have high damage. |
 Fire Bar |
This weapon has a long reach, but it'll get shorter the more hits you land with it. |
 Golden Hammer |
Attack quickly over and over and over. Press jump repeatedly to float through the air, too! |
 Hammer |
Once you start, you just can't stop swinging this item, even if the hammer's head pops off. Oops! |
 Home-Run Bat |
Use a side smash to send a foe flying for the fences. It's tricky to land, but it has lots of attack power! |
 Killing Edge |
If you attack when the sword glows, the damage and launch power will be doubled. |
 Lip's Stick |
Attacking with this makes an energy-sapping flower bloom on your opponent's head! |
 Ore Club |
Swing this to perform an incredibly strong attack. Side smash attacks will create a whirlwind effect. |
 Star Rod |
Side smash attacks and side tilt attacks will make this item fire star-shaped projectiles. |
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Banana Gun |
The insides of the banana become a powerful bullet. After one shot, this item becomes a Banana Peel. Of course. |
 Drill |
Fire this to send a drill bit shooting across the stage, pushing enemies out and away. You can then throw the base! |
 Fire Flower |
Hold this out and bathe your foes in flame. The fire doesn't last forever, though, so don't waste it. |
 Gust Bellows |
Blow enemies away with this item. It's great for ruining someone's recovery, but it's easily blocked by shields. |
 Rage Blaster |
This item grows stronger if the user has taken lots of damage. A great way to make a comeback! |
 Ramblin' Evil Mushroom |
Opponents hit with enough of these spores will grow a mushroom, reversing their left and right controls. |
 Ray Gun |
Fires a fast-moving shot that can knock enemies backward and into the air. Land multiple blows to really break their spirit. |
 Staff |
This weapon fires a laser that deals more damage if the target is farther away. |
 Steel Diver |
Give the torpedo a second and it'll shoot off at high speed. Quick, subtle, destructive. |
 Super Scope |
Fire rapidly by pressing the button quickly, or hold the button to charge up! The fully charged shot is powerful! |
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Banana Peel |
A classic comedy staple: if you step on one of these, you'll fall on your rump. It never gets old! |
 Beastball |
Throw it, and it will disappear in the air then reappear near an opponent, covered in flames. |
 Beehive |
A swarm of bees will emerge, mobbing a fighter and dealing damage to them bit by bit. |
 Beetle |
Throw it toward an enemy and, if it hits, it'll grab on and drag them upward. The higher their damage, the harder it is to break free! |
 Black Hole |
Throw it to create a black hole that will draw in fighters and items. |
 Bob-omb |
Despite its size, this bomb packs a serious punch. Left alone, it tends to get bored and wanders off... |
 Bombchu |
This little zippy bomb crawls on floors, walls, and ceilings. It'll go off if it hits someone or the fuse runs out. |
 Boomerang |
When thrown, this object eventually comes back to the thrower. Catch it to boost its power! |
 Boss Galaga |
This zippy item will try and capture opponents with a tractor beam and then carry them into space. |
 Bumper |
A bumper can be placed in the air or on the ground. Anyone who touches it will be bounced like a pinball. |
 Cucco |
Cuccos will wander around the stage, minding their own business. If you're heartless enough to attack one, you deserve what you get. |
 Deku Nut |
This little nut explodes on impact, dazing fighters on the ground and launching those who are airborne. |
 Freezie |
An item that slowly slides on the ground. If thrown, anyone hit by it will be frozen in ice for a time. |
 Gooey Bomb |
This bomb goes off shortly after sticking to something. If that something is you, brush the bomb onto someone else! Fast! |
 Green Shell |
Attack or throw the Green Shell to send it sliding across the ground! |
 Hocotate Bomb |
This spaceship-turned-bomb will soar skyward, returning a short time later to blow up on its launch site. |
 Hothead |
A fireball that grows when attacked. It will move around the stage, growing bigger from fire or electric attacks. |
 Killer Eye |
A stationary cannon that shoots out damaging beams. You can change its direction by hitting it. |
 Motion-Sensor Bomb |
Once placed on the battlefield, this small bomb will go off the moment anyone gets too close. |
 Mr. Saturn |
Throwing Mr. Saturn won't deal much damage, but he'll annihilate any shield he hits. |
 Pitfall |
This creates a hidden pitfall, trapping anyone who steps on it in the ground, unable to move. |
 POW Block |
Hit it or throw it to launch everyone on the ground into the air. It only has three uses, so POW wisely! |
 Smart Bomb |
A bomb that creates a massive explosion, hurting anyone caught in the blast. Unless it's a dud. Then nothing happens. |
 Smoke Ball |
After being thrown, this item will roll around on the ground or stick to opponents. The smoke makes it hard to see the battle. |
 Soccer Ball |
Give it a good kick, and watch the ball burst into flames! You can't pick it up, thoughーthat's a foul. |
 Spiny Shell |
If you throw this, it'll seek out the player with the highest score (that isn't you), then slam down and explode on them! |
 Unira |
It will reveal its dangerous spikes after being placed. It sticks to walls, too! |
 X Bomb |
The blast from this bomb will go in four directions. It can go vertically and horizontally, or diagonally. |
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|

 Bomber |

| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Special Flag |
Hold this high and gain +1 KO (in a time battle) or +1 stock (in a stock battle). |
 Super Launch Star |
Throw it to create a star-shaped gate which will launch fighters that enter it. |
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
 Bullet Bill |
Use this to turn into a Bullet Bill and charge in a straight lineーright through anyone in the way! |
 Bunny Hood |
Put this on to boost your speed and jumps greatly. "What long ears it has! Will the power of the wild spring forth?" |
 Lightning |
Grab this to make the other fighters shrinkーunless it backfires and shrinks you! |
 Metal Box |
Turns you into metal. Light attacks won't make you flinch, and you'll be tough to launchーbut you'll fall faster. |
 Poison Mushroom |
Running into one of these mushrooms shrinks you, making you less powerful and easier to launch. |
 Super Mushroom |
Touching this will make you giant, increasing your attack power and making you tough to launch. |
 Super Star |
If you touch one of these, you'll be invincible for 10 seconds. Woot! |
 Superspicy Curry |
A spiciness out of this world! You'll constantly breathe fire from your mouth! |
 Timer |
This item slows down everyone except the player who collects it...except when it backfires, of course. |
