''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17973272/chapters/42452741 Sidelines: Tales of the Assist Trophies]]'' (or just ''Sidelines'' for short) is an ongoing series of stories written in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' universe, focusing on the lives of the many various Assist Trophy characters present in the series.
----
!!Sidelines: Tales of the Assist Trophies contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: In the original Super Smash Bros. series (and [[VideoGame/DevilWorld his original game]]), Devil doesn't necessarily do much, only shifting the boundaries of the screen or directing his minions to do so. In ''Sidelines'', he carries very powerful dark magic, capable of going to-to-toe with [[VideoGame/MegaManX Zero]].
* AscendedFanboy: Baito, the [[VideoGame/NintendoBadgeArcade Arcade Bunny]] is a Nintendo fanboy, and is thrilled to be a part of the Smash Bros. tournament, even if he's only an Assist Trophy.
* BerserkButton: Just like in her home series, bandits and pirates are this for [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Lyn]]. She stops just short of running [[VideoGame/FZero Samurai Goroh]] through when she finds out what he does for a living.
* BigBad: [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Mother Brain]], who seeks to conquer the world of Smash Bros. (and the universe), using a handful of other villainous Assist Trophies as her cronies.
* ButtMonkey: [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Waluigi]], for whom very little goes right.
** [[Franchise/MegaMan Dr. Wily]] as well, receiving no respect among the villains.
* CheerfulChild: [[VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy Starfy]] is cheerful and sees the best in almost everybody, up to and including Waluigi.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The fanfic's premise, focusing on the oft-overlooked Assist Trophies rather than the playable fighters.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Starman's]] chapter is based around this, grappling with its lack of purpose after the fall of Giygas.
* EnergeticandSoftSpokenDuo: [[VideoGame/WarioWare Ashley and Red]], with Ashley as the latter and Red as the former.
* EyePop: Happens to the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Klaptrap]] in chapter 21, when it notices the Chain Chomp looking at it.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Waluigi is this by means of proximity. Discussed in chapter 20, where [[VideoGame/GoldenSun Isaac]] asks Mario why he and the other Mushroom Kingdom denizens put up with this guy.
* GiantSpider: Chapter 13 involves a normal spider which grows into one of these (courtesy of Ashley).
* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: [[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure Nightmare]] lets Zero listen in on the villains' meeting in chapter 16, before indicating to him (and the other villains) that he is very much aware of Zero's presence.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Happens to Zero in chapter 16, courtesy of [[VideoGame/SkywardSword Ghirahim]].
* IllegalGamblingDen: [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Rodin]] runs one of these, as is revealed in chapter 22.
* IKnowWhatYouFear: Nightmare can read the fears of other people and create illusions based on them, as he demonstrates by makingn illusions of King Boo and Death for Luigi, and of Iris for Zero.
* {{Jerkass}}: Waluigi. The only person who tolerates him is Starfy.
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: The gambling den in chapter 22 is, according to Samurai Goroh and [[VideoGame/TwilightPrincess Midna]], both a taco stand and a laundromat.
* MadBomber: Downplayed with VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}. He's a nice enough guy, but he does get a bit ''too'' eager to resort to explosives.
* MasterOfIllusion: Nightmare is capable of creating illusions, usually based on people's fears.
* TheMaze: The inventory room, which Isaac, [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Phosphora]] and [[VideoGame/{{Arms}} Spring Man]] get lost in during chapter 3. Its labyrinthine state is said to be the result of a prank by Crazy Hand.
* MythologyGag: In chapter 12, Little Mac hums the Gillette "Look Sharp, Be Sharp" March, which was used as the title screen in the NES VideoGame/PunchOut. He mentions he doesn't remember where it's from, only that it "sounds familiar".
** The codename given for the VideoGame/KingdomHearts universe is HIKARI-2002, referencing a prominent musical piece from the games as well as the year the first game was released.
* NarrativeProfanityFilter: When [[Franchise/{{Sonic}} Shadow]] wakes up Samurai Goroh, he tells the "dimwit" to wake up "in a manner that usually earns one a bar of soap in one's mouth".
* PungeonMaster: Bomberman, prone to making puns whenever he can, to the amusement of no one. (Well, except [[VideoGame/JoyMechFight Sukapon]].)
* ShoutOut: When Nightmare points out that Zero is watching the villains' meeting, he directly quotes one of the Gaster followers from VideoGame/{{Undertale}}.
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: In chapter 13, Bomberman suggests using a Dangerous Bomb, a bomb with a ''massive'' blast radius, to get rid of a spider. Needless to say, this idea is quickly shot down.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Isaac gives one to Waluigi in chapter 20, after a plan by the latter to take the spotlight for himself fails.
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: In a [[https://twitter.com/QuackNSketch/status/1605329364614275073 supplementary piece of art]], this happens to Waluigi as a FunnyBackgroundEvent.
