| 18 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 19 | * AssistCharacter: The second set of characters you can summon to help you out, after the Pokémon. |
| 20 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In ''Brawl'', the Assist Trophy item was a clear blue case containing a semi-realistic muscular figure. In later installments, the item is more colorful and the figure inside is more blob-like. |
| 21 | * FakeShemp: Most Assist Trophies in ''3DS/Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' use recycled voice clips from their home games as opposed to completely new voice clips.[[note]]the only exceptions are characters who were never voiced in a game (Nightmare, Takamaru, and the Sable Prince, voiced by Falco, Chrom and Lucina's voice actors), the English versions of Kid Icarus characters for legal reasons, and Zero and Alucard (whose singular Japanese voice actor came in to also provide a Palutena's Guidance conversation)[[/note]] This was also the case for Gray Fox in ''Brawl'' due to the passing of his Japanese voice actor, as well as Tingle and Kat & Ana. |
| 22 | * JumpPhysics: A lot of Assist Trophies that move around have long, arcing jumps that generally cover more distance than playable characters' jumps. |
| 23 | * {{Nerf}}: In ''Brawl'', only Lakitu and Starfy could be defeated. In ''3DS/Wii U'', more Assist Trophies (including some that couldn't be defeated) could be damaged to reduce their on-screen time or even outright KO'ed, and some of the new Assist Trophies shared this trait. In ''Ultimate'', even more of them can be KO'ed and most can even suffer knockback, with killing them being considered a point toward timed matches. |
| 24 | * {{Teleportation}}: Several Assist Trophies can do this if they fall off stage or opponents are out of their range. |
| 25 | * VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In ''Ultimate'', you can KO an Assist Trophy you summoned that has sustained enough damage to get a KillSteal on your end. |

| 36 | * AscendedExtra: Originally had two trophies in ''Melee'' before being made into an Assist Trophy. |
| 37 | * ArchEnemy: Of the Star Fox team, especially Fox. |
| 38 | * BreathWeapon: His only attack is to exhale a cloud of square objects at the fights. |
| 39 | * DubNameChange: He's called Andorf in Japanese. The name is changed due to sounding similar to Adolf. |
| 40 | * FlyingFace: It's actually only a holographic representation in the original game (the version used for ''SSB''), but it became more literal in the sequels. |
| 41 | * {{Retraux}}: Appears as his holographic form from the original SNES ''Star Fox'', though his organic form from ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' appears as a regular trophy in ''Melee'', and his brain form appears as a regular trophy in ''3DS/Wii U''. |

| 51 | An antropomorphic bat who serves as the manager of the music store GB Music in Waruwaru Town. While she guided the player in her debut game and its sequel ''VideoGame/JamWithTheBand'', here she whips out musical punishment using her guitar. |
| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | * DemotedToExtra: In the fourth game, she only appears as a trophy and a hat for the Mii Fighters. She also returns as a Spirit in ''Ultimate''. |
| 54 | * MsFanservice: Is considered one in her home series, and of course gained some more attention thanks to her appearances in ''Smash''.[[note]]She apparently has the largest bust of any of the female characters in the game (Including other trophies!), even surpassing Zero Suit Samus.[[/note]] |
| 55 | * MusicalAssassin: Attacks via guitar riff shockwaves. |

| 64 | |
| 65 | A devil who tried to trap the hero Tamagon in his maze by crushing him between its walls. Here, he scrolls the screen, creating new boundaries and compromising the battle. |
| 66 | ---- |
| 67 | * AscendedExtra: Probably the biggest example, as he was briefly mentioned in ''Melee's'' trophy description for Tamagon, of which said trophy was a case of NoExportForYou outside of Japan. When the Devil was made into an Assist Trophy, Tamagon was [[DemotedToExtra made into a sticker]], and when ''3DS/Wii U'' rolled around, Tamagon was [[PutOnABus forgotten about almost entirely]] while the Devil remained. |
| 68 | * BigBad: The main villain of his source game and the only villainous Assist Trophy to hail from a series without a playable character. |
| 69 | %%* BigRedDevil: Except he's ''blue''. He otherwise fits the trope.%%How? |
| 70 | * EventObscuringCamera: [[invoked]] His modus operandi is messing with the camera to both make it hard to keep track of the action and lower the amount of solid ground to fight on. Most obvious on small stages, which can leave but a smidgen of land on the screen. |
| 71 | * OneHitKill: Can make the stage this if raised to the top or the bottom. |
| 72 | * PowerupLetdown: His effect being completely neutral, it doesn't benefit the summoner in any better way than it can benefit his enemies. Even his trophy description points out that he's not really helping. |
| 73 | * {{Retraux}}: He makes droning 8-bit NES noises as he moves the screen around. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | The assistant of the mayor of ''[=SimCity=]'', he helps the player manage their growing town by providing advice and guidance. In ''Smash Bros.'', he helps out by summoning a huge building, damaging any fighter unlucky to be under it when it sprouts. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * AscendedExtra: He was a collectable trophy in ''Melee'', but can now assist characters in the following games. |
| 86 | * AnimeHair: According to his ''Melee'' trophy, he is "one of the leaders in the all-time, bizarre Nintendo-game-hairstyle contest". |
| 87 | * TheCameo: He has made appearances in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Ages and Seasons]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap Minish Cap]]'' under alias. |
| 88 | * CanonForeigner: Dr. Wright is this to the ''[=SimCity=]'' franchise, as he was an addition to the SNES port of the original game, which was developed and published by Nintendo themselves (which is why Nintendo can use him despite being made for a franchise that wasn't theirs). |
| 89 | * CounterAttack: In ''Ultimate'', he can be attacked. Instead of being knocked out like other Assist Trophies, however, he instead summons a ''much'' larger building immediately. |
| 90 | * {{Expy}}: Of Will Wright, creator of ''[=SimCity=]''. |

| 103 | * AscendedExtra: They appeared as a trophy in ''Melee''. |
| 104 | * BadassBiker: They are quite daredevil, to say the least, for attacking foes at least twice their size and jump into a bottomless pit. |
| 105 | * CarFu: Or motocycle fu rather. They attack by running into players. |
| 106 | * DemotedToExtra: They go back to being a trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'' and then a Spirit in ''Ultimate''. |
| 107 | * {{Retraux}}: As an Assist Trophy, they appear as 8-bit sprites, like in their original game. |

| 120 | An enigmatic soldier. Following his apparent death in Zanzibar Land, he was rebuilt as a Cyborg Ninja, and went to Shadow Moses to help his FriendlyEnemy Solid Snake in his mission, though not without fighting him. |
| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | * AttackReflector: He can send projectiles back to their senders when swinging his sword. ''Ultimate'' doesn't have him swing his sword anymore, but the reflective effect remains, as if he now has a natural reflector. |
| 123 | * TheBusCameBack: After skipping on the fourth game due to the removal of all ''Metal Gear'' content, he returns in ''Ultimate''. |
| 124 | * CyberNinja: He's a cyborg, he moves like a ninja. Ain't rocket science. |
| 125 | * FriendlyEnemy: With Snake. In fact, he has special dialogue for when he appears on a battle with Snake involved, and he's the only Assist Trophy in ''Brawl'' to do so. |
| 126 | * GuestFighter: From Creator/{{Konami}}'s famed ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''. |
| 127 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: In the international versions. His identity as "Gray Fox" isn't known in ''Metal Gear Solid'' until late in the game. Additionally, his trophy in ''Brawl'' spoils [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes his saving of Snake from Metal Gear REX]]]], though at least it doesn't mention [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice his death while doing so]]]]. Averted in the Japanese version, where he is only referred to as Cyborg Ninja. |
| 128 | * MythologyGag: |
| 129 | ** Many of his lines are taken directly from his boss fight in ''Metal Gear Solid''. Two of them are exclusively reserved for whenever Snake is active, regardless of whether he is an ally or enemy. |
| 130 | ** His reflector is likely a reference to firearms being relatively ineffective against him as a boss, forcing Snake to fight him hand-to-hand. |
| 131 | * NoSell: He won't disappear if he falls off the stage, he just drops back out of nowhere. |
| 132 | * PutOnABus: Like Snake and the rest of the ''Metal Gear'' franchise, Gray Fox does not return for ''3DS/Wii U''. He does, however, return for ''Ultimate''. |
| 133 | * SecretCharacter: In ''Brawl'', he only appears after Snake is unlocked. |

| 143 | ---- |
| 144 | * {{Mooks}}: They are the only Assist Trophy in ''Brawl'' that also appears as an enemy in the ''Subspace Emissary''. In ''3DS/Wii U'', they are still one of the Assist Trophies that do double duty as an enemy character as well. |

| 158 | * CompositeCharacter: The trophy talks of the events of the first game, but the helicopter uses its design from the third. |
| 159 | * JapaneseRanguage: Its trophy name is misspelled "Heririn" in all English versions of ''Melee'' and the American version of ''Brawl'', but corrected in European ''Brawl''. |
| 160 | * PowerupLetdown: It does not help its summoner at all, just functioning as a TemporaryPlatform. |

| 175 | * {{Retraux}}: Although less so from other examples; they're sprite rips from the GBA and DS games. The bullets, however, are not. |

| 256 | A very powerful martial artist. Knuckle Joe usually appears as an enemy that gives Kirby the Fighter ability, but can become an ally when summoned. He'll attack with a whirlwind of punches before finishing with one of his {{signature move}}s, Rising Break or Smash Punch. |
| 257 | ---- |
| 258 | * BadassAdorable: This cute little guy can punch you right out of the ring, which he will if you get caught up in his punches. |
| 259 | * TheBusCameBack: Not in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series per se, but in ''Kirby'' itself, as his only two video game appearances beforehand were ''Kirby Super Star'' and the Japan-exclusive ''Kirby's Super Star Stacker'', the latter of which was released in February of 1998. ''Brawl'' marks the third game where he's made a proper appearance, ten years after his previous one. Somewhat mitigated if ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' is counted, though in that case, it'd mark his last appearance as September of 2003, so that's still nearly five years. |
| 260 | * CallingYourAttacks: He sometimes calls out his attacks. |
| 261 | * KamehameHadoken: His Smash Punch is a powerful projectile that he launches with his fist. |
| 262 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: He's very small and cute, but his attacks can easily result in a OneHitKO if you're unlucky enough to get caught up in his barrage of punches. |
| 263 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: His Vulcan Jab is a flurry of punches that quickly rack up damage and are impossible to escape if you get caught. |
| 264 | * {{Shoryuken}}: His Rising Break is a powerful uppercut. |
| 265 | * SuddenlyVoiced: While he spoke plenty in the anime, ''Brawl'' is the first time he speaks in a video game at all. |
| 266 | * TookALevelInBadass: Since ''3DS/Wii U'', he can do two finishers. However, he is a vulnerable Assist Trophy. |

| 275 | Airborne soldiers from Bowser's army, though many unaffiliated Lakitu are known to host sporting events or even provide camera control in some instances. When confronted, Lakitus fly on top of clouds and fight by throwing Spiny Eggs down below, which hatch into Spinies that can't be jumped on. |

| 308 | |
| 309 | One of the main heroes in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', Lyn is a nomad well-versed in the art of the blade. Once she readies her sword, she'll strike any foe that crosses her path. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * ArtEvolution: While she closely resembles her original ''Blazing Sword'' appearance in ''Brawl'' and ''Wii U/3DS'', she was redesigned to match the other ''Fire Emblem'' characters in ''Ultimate'', having more detailed hair and smaller eyes. |
| 312 | * TheArtifact: Lyn reuses the same voice lines from ''Brawl'' in ''3DS/Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. While this is not a problem in the Japanese version, her English voice actor being changed to Creator/WendeeLee in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' and ''Fire Emblem Warriors'' means that her voice lines are outdated. |
| 313 | * BigDamnHeroes: Jumps in to save Roy from a Falcon Punch during his ''3DS/Wii U'' reveal trailer. May also be a MythologyGag, as Lyn is one of Roy's potential mothers in his home series. She also does this for Roy's ''Ultimate'' character trailer. |
| 314 | * CounterAttack: In ''Ultimate'', she triggers her slash attack immediately if you try to hit her repeatedly. |
| 315 | * FlashStep: She can strike the opponent fast enough that there is no animation for it — she merely appears where she struck, sheathing her sword. |
| 316 | * GlassCannon: She can easily strike anyone with a brutal OneHitKO. Just ''one'' swing from her blade can take away your stock before you can blink. However, landing one powerful smash attack is enough to take her out, since she's easily one the most frail Assist Trophies in ''Ultimate.'' |
| 317 | * IaijutsuPractitioner: An in-game tip says that she has perfected her Quick Draw. |
| 318 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: In ''3DS/Wii U'', Lyn keeps her very {{animesque}} ''Brawl'' design while the playable ''Fire Emblem'' characters (including veterans Marth, Ike, and Roy) have been redesigned to have more realistic faces and builds, making her look [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/db3c5efb0fa31bff109452714aaf5c3e/tumblr_npy2zhuR0V1uwn8jio1_1280.jpg somewhat out of place]] compared to them. ''Ultimate'' eventually updated her look to match. |
| 319 | * PreMortemOneLiner: "Taste my blade!" |
| 320 | * SingleStrokeBattle: Her method of attack invokes the imagery. She disappears for a split second before reappearing next to a random victim, delivering a single strong strike that can easily KO. |
| 321 | * VocalDissonance: Her English voice is pretty darn deep for a teenage girl, especially if you take her Japanese age of 15 into account. |

| 334 | * KillItWithIce: True to the lore, the Metroids in Smash Run and ''Ultimate'' are weak against ice attacks. Averted with its Assist Trophy appearance in ''Brawl'', where not even ice can stop a Metroid. |
| 335 | * LifeDrain: It sucks the energy out of any enemy fighters it comes in contact with, getting bigger in the process. |

| 347 | An angry mole that pops up and gives harsh and long lectures to anyone who dares reset their game. In ''Smash'', he's nothing more than a distraction, as his lengthy rants cover up one half of the screen. |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | * AntiPoopSocking: Some of the advice he'll give when summoned is to make sure to "get some shut-eye". |
| 350 | --> ''Staying up late is for punks!'' |
| 351 | * AscendedExtra: He first appears as a trophy in ''Melee'' as an EarlyBirdCameo, as the original ''Dōbutsu no Mori'' was already out on the N64 in Japan. |
| 352 | * DemotedToExtra: He's reduced to a background character in the Town & City stage in ''Wii U'' and a Spirit in ''Ultimate''. |
| 353 | * DevelopersForesight: He says a special phrase if he falls off the stage, or falls behind in an auto-scrolling level. Additionally, the first time he gets summoned on a copy, he has a rant that he will only say then. |
| 354 | * DubNameChange: Named as Mr. Reset in Japan. |
| 355 | * InterfaceScrew: His long-winded speeches partially block the view of the fight. He'll even lampshade it. |
| 356 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be harsh in his speeches, but according to his much calmer brother, that's because he cares. |
| 357 | * NoSell: No matter what you do, there's ''no way'' you can get him to even budge. Attack him enough times, and he'll even lampshade how your attacks can't do jack on him, sometimes even literally exploding with anger to prove his point. |
| 358 | * OverlyLongGag: Most Assist Trophies only last for 20 seconds or so. Mr. Resetti will stick around for over a minute, falling offstage notwithstanding. |
| 359 | * PowerupLetdown: Aside from a short-ranged explosion that can only be triggered by attacking him, he doesn't really help his summoner. Even his main function of obscuring part of the screen with his dialogue box can sometimes do more harm than good for the summoner. |
| 360 | * PunnyName: His job is to discourage people from resetting, and his name is Resetti. |
| 361 | * SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: He'll do an impersonation of a random fighter on occasion, and this is what happens when he impersonates a character with no dialogue. For Samus[[note]]not the Zero Suit version, of course[[/note]], he says, "MEEEER! PSHOOOW!" For Mr. Game & Watch, he says, "Pikopikopikopiko."[[note]]This is a common onomatopoeia for old computer sound effects in Japanese; another Nintendo example is ''Art Style: Picopict''.[[/note]] For R.O.B., he says, "SHOGOOOOOOOOOO!" |
| 362 | * SpeakingSimlish: Much like the games he comes from, he speaks in complete gibberish. |
| 363 | * WhatTheHellPlayer: In his home game, he's ready to deliver a long scolding to players that dare reset. Here, he starts with the same speech before realizing that no one's resetting anything. He still sticks around, though. |

| 444 | Sonic's formerly EvilCounterpart, a black hedgehog created by Prof. Gerald Robotnik and designed to be the UltimateLifeform. He was sealed up and reprogrammed to destroy humanity following the death of his close friend Maria, but has since become an AntiHero. Utilizing the Chaos Emeralds, Shadow performs a technique known as Chaos Control, slowing the flow of time. |

He pulls out the green Chaos Emerald in order to activate [[BulletTime Chaos Control]], but if Sonic uses his [[LimitBreak Final Smash]], the Blue Blur's shown to have all seven Emeralds already—the green one included.

| 451 | * Really700YearsOld: He looks to be around the same age as Sonic, maybe slightly older, but he was kept in stasis for 50 years. |
| 452 | * SecretCharacter: In ''Brawl'', he only appears after Sonic is unlocked. |

| 468 | * JapaneseRanguage: In his appearance in ''Brawl'', he was named "Stafy" (his Japanese name) due to his series having yet to leave Japan at that time. |

| 486 | * ConfusionFu: He summons random effects in battle, which can harm his summoner, help them, or do nothing at all. |
| 487 | * DemotedToExtra: After being an Assist Trophy in ''Brawl'' and ''3DS/Wii U'', he returns to his original role on Great Bay, and appears as a Spirit, in ''Ultimate''. |
| 488 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: He seems pretty out of place compared to all the other new ''Zelda'' content that comes from ''Twilight Princess'' (where even assets that don't appear like Sheik and Deku Nuts have been redesigned to match). This hints that the player will be unlocking more ''Wind Waker'' content later on in the form of Toon Link and the Pirate Ship. |
| 489 | * InterfaceScrew: He can cause the screen to zoom in on his summoner. |
| 490 | * PowerupLetdown: Zig-Zagged. His balloon summon literally does nothing, his hammer summon benefits everyone, his fire effect causes everyone to breathe fire like they ate [[FireBreathingDiner Superspicy Curry]], and his zoom in can be just as detrimental to the summoner as everyone else. His only effect that benefits just the summoner is his banana summon, which causes everyone but the summoner to trip very easily. |

| 500 | An oddly tall and wiry fellow, who serves as Luigi's EvilCounterpart and loves causing mischief. He's also become quite popular, despite only appearing in spin-off titles. Here, he stomps foes into the ground before whacking them with his tennis racket. |
| 501 | ---- |
| 502 | * AscendedExtra: He only appears as a trophy in ''Melee'' before becoming an Assist Trophy in every game since. |
| 503 | * BalanceBuff: In ''Brawl'', there was a long delay between Waluigi's last stomps and his finishing move, which would typically allow anyone he buried to escape before he could send them flying. Later games shorten the delay, allowing Waluigi to be much more effective. |
| 504 | * ButtMonkey: The [[DevelopmentGag developers don't seem to like the idea]] of him being more than an Assist Trophy in the ''Smash Bros.'' series. The E3 reveal for ''Ultimate'' also uses him to demonstrate that Assist Trophies can now be KO'd. |
| 505 | -->''The fact that he's an Assist Trophy means he won't be appearing as a playable character, but... Waluigi appears nonetheless!'' — '''Smash Bros. DOJO!!'''\ |
| 506 | ''Just because you try hard doesn't mean you'll make it into the battle.'' — '''[[Creator/MasahiroSakurai Sakurai]] (Website/{{Miiverse}} Pic of the Day)''' |
| 507 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: An odd example. Although Waluigi has his trademark orange shoes in his ''Melee'' trophy, his first in-combat appearance in ''Brawl'' [[http://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Waluigi_Brawl.jpg makes them a shade of brown similar to the Mario Bros.' shoes]]. Waluigi had to wait until the next game for his shoes to revert to their usual color. |
| 508 | * EvilCounterpart: To Luigi, which shows up in his name. |
| 509 | * FinishingMove: Once he's done stomping, Waluigi will either give the enemy a big stomp kick to send them horizontally or smash them with his tennis racket to send them diagonally upwards. |
| 510 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wario, who may or may not be his brother. |
| 511 | * MeaningfulName: It's a portmanteau of "Luigi" and "warui", the Japanese word for "bad". Additionally, it's an anagram of the Japanese word "ijiwaru", which essentially means "bad guy". Unfortunately, unlike Wario's name[[note]]the name effectively starts with "war" and/or the M in Mario's name flipped upside down[[/note]], the pun in Waluigi's name was LostInTranslation. |
| 512 | * MeteorMove: Waluigi's stomps can meteor smash an airborne opponent. |
| 513 | * OneHitKO: Has high potential for this, as whoever he attacks will be stuck in the ground and be left at the mercy of his relentless barrage of attacks. |
| 514 | * SpamAttack: Waluigi's primary means of attack is repeatedly barraging the enemy in bursts of six stomps. He throws out even more attacks in ''Ultimate'', where doing eight bursts of six stomps is on the ''lower'' end of his total number of attacks. |

| 526 | ---- |
| 527 | * ArtEvolution: In ''3DS/Wii U'', her design is taken from ''Game & Wario''. ''Ultimate'' gives her the red eyes she has in ''[=WarioWare=] Gold'', but otherwise retains her previous design. |
| 528 | * AscendedExtra: She appeared as a sticker and her theme song played in Wario's stage in ''Brawl'' (both in [[TheSongRemainsTheSame Japanese]] and [[TranslatedCoverVersion English]]) and was also one of the few music tracks featured on the website pre-release to build hype. In ''3DS/Wii U'', she appears in person as an Assist Trophy, and later as the basis for a Mii Swordfighter costume. |
| 529 | * CuteWitch: She's young and she's magical. However, she's also [[EmotionlessGirl stoic]]. |
| 530 | * ConfusionFu: She creates a field that causes all sort of random nasty effects to those trapped in it, kind of like Luigi's Negative Zone in ''Brawl''. |
| 531 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Despite her gloomy exterior, she secretly wants to have friends; the English version of her theme song implies it, but the Japanese version outright states she wants to make friends with everyone. |
| 532 | * MagicStaff: She carries one menacingly. Said staff is actually Red shapeshifted to allow her to use magic. |

| 544 | ---- |
| 545 | * ArtEvolution: In ''3DS/Wii U'', its chain is a series of unconnected metal hoops; ''Ultimate'' upgrades it to an actual chain. Bizarrely, its trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'' also features a regular chain. |
| 546 | * AscendedExtra: It appears as a sticker and a trophy in ''Brawl'' before becoming an active assist trophy in ''3DS/Wii U''. |
| 547 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: While the big head is a large target, attacking the peg of its chain deals more damage to it. Prior to ''Ultimate'', it was tied to a wooden post like it was in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' series of games, where you dispatched them by ground pounding the post in question. |
| 548 | * DubNameChange: It's called Wanwan in Japanese, after the Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog's bark. |

| 729 | * GlassCannon: Mother Brain is very powerful compared to the other Assist Trophies, but she's also one of the few that can be defeated in ''3DS/Wii U'', and is one of the easier Assist Trophies to defeat in ''Ultimate'' due to being a big, immobile target who doesn't pose any more of a threat up close than she does from afar. With that said, she is invincible when her glass case is up, so she can still create some chaos with the Rinka summons before firing her beam. |
| 730 | * HumanShield: While not human per se, her size and large amount of health encourage you to hide behind her to protect yourself. |
| 731 | * MookMaker: Her attacks can create Rinkas, enemies which home in on fighters. Oddly, they can be absorbed by PSI Magnet, Absorbing Vortex, or Oil Panic. |

| 780 | The resident Heropon from Frontier Village and one of Shulk's companions. Though he looks cute and childlike, he's actually a middle-aged father of 11. His attacks have strange effects and even stranger names. |
| 781 | ---- |
| 782 | * AssistCharacter: Besides being an Assist Trophy, Riki also appears to help Shulk in his Final Smash alongside Dunban (and Fiora in ''Ultimate''). |
| 783 | * ArtEvolution: His design within this game is a lot more reminiscent of his unequipped swimsuit look than the default outfit within [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 the game he appears in]]. In ''[=3DS=][=/=]Wii U'', his hair is a lot spikier than his original appearance. ''Ultimate'' goes back on this, giving him back his combed hairstyle he normally has. |
| 784 | * BadassAdorable: All of the Nopon are extremely adorable. This Nopon can also "smack-pow" people into submission. |
| 785 | * CallingYourAttacks: Just as in his home game, he shouts several of his attacks by their silly names. |
| 786 | -->''"Fr-Fr-Fr-Freezinate!"''\ |
| 787 | ''"Roly-Poly, keep on rollin'!"'' |
| 788 | * ConfusionFu: He can provide a variety of benefits to his summoner, such as healing and freezing enemies. |
| 789 | * AnIcePerson: Freezinate has him instantly freeze any opponent close to him. [[note]]In its original form, it has him spit a huge ball of ice at his target.[[/note]] |
| 790 | * MagicMisfire: His healing effect can also heal enemies. |
| 791 | * OlderThanTheyLook: His looks and manerisms don't show it, but he's a 40 years old father of eleven, making him the most "adult" party member in ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. |
| 792 | * PowerUpLetdown: Downplayed. Some of his arts can help the opponents as well as the summoner. Happy Happy affects every fighter, You Can Do It heals all fighters close enough to him, and Yoink! brings items closer to him, which doesn't directly benefit anybody. |
| 793 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Small, spherical, huge set of wings that double as limbs... It comes with the territory as a Nopon, really. |
| 794 | * StatusEffects: His specialty. He can freeze enemies, sleep them, make them trip on their butts, among other things. |
| 795 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Just like in his home game, he refers to himself by name rather than using pronouns. |

| 847 | ---- |
| 848 | * AscendedExtra: He has two stickers in ''Brawl''. He's also mentioned in the Majora's Mask trophy in ''Melee''. In ''Ultimate'', Skull Kid also appears as an outfit for the Mii Brawler, which looks so accurate (helped by the mask) that it's easier to see it as that character than any other costume. |

| 851 | * EvilMask: Although Skull Kid is normally fond of playing pranks, his pranks are rather harmless. What makes him evil is Majora's Mask's influence. |
| 852 | * InterfaceScrew: He can cause one out of three. He can flip the stage horizontally, render the fighters invisible, or flip the horizontal ''and'' vertical controls. |

| 865 | * AscendedExtra: In ''Melee'', it's a trophy. In ''Brawl'', it's a sticker. In the fourth game, it's both an Assist Trophy and a Smash Run enemy. |

| 870 | * MythologyGag: Much like in its home series, reflecting its attack with a Franklin Badge instantly defeats it. The famous "SMAAASH!" from Earthbound appears above its head if you do this. |
| 871 | * ShockAndAwe: It attacks with PK Beam (from ''[=EarthBound=] Beginnings''; represented here by a lightning bolt) from its head. |
| 872 | * {{Teleportation}}: Starmen never move their limbs; they teleport to move around. They don't even move if you knock them off their feet, they just tumble like a statue albeit with some flexing as if it was made out of lead. |

First seen assisting Trevor C. Belmont in 1476, he's best known for his playable role in ''Symphony of the Night'' where he saved Richter from his brainwashing at the hands of Shaft. He appears in ''Ultimate'' as an Assist Trophy, putting up an incredible fight in his wake, and he also crashes Palutena's Guidance to provide information on Richter Belmont. |
| 924 | ---- |

| 926 | * BladeSpam: He wields the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Crissaegrim]] from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' and, just like that game, his arms don't animate any kind of slashing while doing so, meaning that he attacks ''very'' rapidly. |
| 927 | * BossInMookClothing: He can be KO'd, but doing so will take a lot more skill than for most other Assist Trophies due to his large, hard-hitting moveset and his ability to assume mist form sometimes when attacked. |
| 928 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He wears dark robes like his father, but is always a good guy. |
| 929 | * {{Dhampyr}}: He's the son of a human woman and the vampire Dracula. |

| 933 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Dracula's Castle from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' plays in the background when his Assist Trophy is discussed in the Direct. Specifically, the version from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment''. |
| 934 | * MeaningfulName: His name is "Dracula" [[SdrawkcabName spelt backwards]], representing his opposition to his father. |
| 935 | * MissingReflection: In an amusing bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, this trope is implied to be the reason that [[https://www.serebii.net/smashbrosultimate/assisttrophy.shtml Alucard can't appear on the Wii Fit Studio stage]] — there's a giant mirror that stretches across the stage and shows a reflection of all fighters, items, and Assist Trophies. |
| 936 | * MythologyGag: His use of the Crissaegrim likely references how popular that weapon was as an InfinityPlusOneSword in ''Symphony of the Night''. His brief appearance alongside Richter in Simon's reveal trailer references their partnership in that game as well. |
| 937 | * NobleDemon: He's half-vampire, yet is the complete opposite of his father in every way. |
| 938 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Youthful {{Bishonen}} looks aside, he's actually centuries old. This is briefly brought up in Palutena's Guidance for Richter Belmont, who he notes is the descendant of another man alongside whom he fought his father; this refers to Trevor Belmont, who fought Dracula three hundred years before Richter. |
| 939 | * RefusalOfTheCall: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, as when Palutena asks him if he'll join the battlefield as an actual fighter, he bluntly states that he'll stick to assisting Richter or anyone who summons him, implying that he chose to be an Assist Trophy. |

| 974 | * MeteorMove: One of his attacks is an overhead sword slash which meteors the opponent, putting them in prime position for his followup hit. |
| 975 | * MightyGlacier: The Black Knight moves at a ''very'' slow pace, but he can deal a lot of damage in a few swings of his sword (to the point that he triggers the Special Zoom Effect ''every time he scores a hit'') and [[ImmuneToFlinching virtually never flinches when attacked]]. |
| 976 | * SwordPlant: Before leaving, he does this while shouting "[[BadassBoast Know your place!]]" |

| 986 | Also called White Bomberman, he's a cheerful, AmbiguouslyHuman or [[AmbiguousRobots robotic]] guy (it varies from game to game). He can set remote-controlled bombs to disrupt opponents. Notable for being the first revealed third-party Assist Trophy who doesn't have an associated playable character. Bomberman would later receive a full-body Mii Fighter costume with color options representing the other Bomberman Bros as DLC. |
| 987 | ---- |
| 988 | * AscendedExtra: He received a few passing mentions in ''Brawl''[='=]s Chronicle feature. ''Ultimate'' marks his first physical appearance in the franchise. |
| 989 | * {{Combos}}: Like his game of origin, he'll try to set his bombs so the first one causes a chain explosion, since if at least two bombs are in within potential crossfire, regardless of how long the second one has left, the first one will cause the second one to explode on impact. |
| 990 | * CuteBruiser: He might be adorable, but he's one of the more powerful Assist Trophies introduced in the series. His bombs can even set off the slow motion effect that occurs when a player is hit by a particularly powerful attack. |
| 991 | * DemolitionsExpert: He's very skilled with bombs. This also comes in handy in ''World of Light'', as he can use his expertise to destroy boulders. |
| 992 | * GuestFighter: The first in the series to appear as an Assist Trophy without a universe with a playable character backing them. He was created by Creator/HudsonSoft and is now owned by Creator/{{Konami}}. |
| 993 | * HandyRemoteControl: He uses one to detonate his remote bombs. |
| 994 | * HavingABlast: The key's in his name. He attacks by dropping bombs that explode in a fairly wide cross pattern, like his home series. |
| 995 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Just like in his home series, he can get KO'd by his own bombs. |
| 996 | * MythologyGag: Unlike most of his 3D appearances, his bombs detonate in the classic cross pattern. |
| 997 | * PromotedToPlayable: Subverted by having the way he became "playable" in ''Ultimate'' 's DLC cycle be with a Mii costume. However, his costume is the first one involving an Assist Trophy to be a "Deluxe" costume similar to [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', and [[Franchise/{{Fallout}} Vault Boy]], and Sakurai pointed out that Bomberman is an Assist Trophy that now has a Mii costume in the Steve/Alex presentation, something he has never done with other characters represented in both ways. |

| 1038 | * AscendedExtra: They're barely even classed as characters in the ''Mario'' franchise but are included in ''Smash'' as an Assist Trophy and a Spirit as if they are. |

| 1040 | * CrosshairAware: An unusual case. Avoiding the Flies will logically lessen your chances of getting smacked in the crossfire by the flyswatter, but they're almost impossible to see on larger stages. |
| 1041 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: As in the original minigame, the Hand attacks with a flyswatter. |

| 1054 | A major in the United States Air Force whose goal is to take down the criminal organization Shadaloo. Summoning him causes him to crouch down and use his Flash Kick to attack anyone who comes near. He'll also shoot Sonic Booms if you don't come close. |
| 1055 | ---- |
| 1056 | * AscendedMeme: His fighting style references an infamous {{metagame}} tactic "turtling" from the original ''Street Fighter'' games. |
| 1057 | * CripplingOverspecialisation: While turtling is a reasonably reliable stalling tactic in the ''Street Fighter'' series, the fact that it's ''all'' Guile does in his ''Smash Bros'' appearance makes him pretty useless unless he's against players dumb enough to get in range of his Flash Kick. |
| 1058 | * GuestFighter: One of the lead characters of Creator/{{Capcom}}'s legendary flagship FightingGame franchise, ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. |
| 1059 | * IronicEcho: He says one of his ''Street Fighter IV'' winquotes, "That was nothing", upon vanishing, which can unfortunately be appropriate if experienced opponents stay far enough away from his turtling. |
| 1060 | %%* KiManipulation: His signature Sonic Boom. |
| 1061 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Guile's Theme" is in ''Ultimate'' and plays when he appears in the November 1st, 2018 Nintendo Direct. |
| 1062 | * LethalJokeCharacter: His Spirit Battle is a nasty piece of work as not only is he present to destroy projectiles with Sonic Boom but you also have to deal with Captain Falcon constantly getting into your face with his melee moveset, meaning only a few fighters can safely clear this battle. |
| 1063 | * ShownTheirWork: Occasionally after finishing a Flash Kick, Guile may jump vertically and do a normal aerial kick if another opponent gets close to him. This references the common input error when a player does not hold 'down' long enough between Flash Kicks, something that just about every Guile player has experienced at some point. |
| 1064 | * StoneWall: Guile's Assist Trophy fighting style is similar to how many players play him: crouching down and blocking all attacks, then nailing you with his Flash Kick once you make the decision to get close. He also uses Sonic Boom to keep others at bay. |
| 1065 | * TakeThat: "Turtling" is an infamously unpopular tactic amongst competitive ''Street Fighter'' players due to it epitomising BoringButPractical. By highlighting the strategy's dullness in the setting of ''Smash Bros'', this can only be seen as Sakurai achieving some overdue revenge against Guile players. |

| 1076 | * AscendedExtra: Appears as a background character in the Smashville stage in ''Brawl'' and ''Town and City'' stage in ''Wii U''. He appears in the Tortimer Island stage in ''3DS'', where he would appear on his motorboat and act as a temporary platform. Come ''Ultimate'', and he's more active as an Assist Trophy. |
| 1077 | * DubNameChange: He's usually named Kappei in Japanese, but his ''Smash'' appearance has him named "Untenshu" (Driver in English), which is what he is called in the Japanese versions of ''Wild World'' and ''City Folk''. |
| 1078 | * FlyingCar: You'd think that after he picks up an opponent, he needs to drive off the stage to hit a blast zone. Given that most stages aren't walk-off stages, he's susceptible to TheWorfEffect, right? ''Wrong!'' If he does pick up an opponent, his bus inexplicably drives off midair on a bridge of light when it hits an edge. |

| 1107 | The 16-year-old guardian of the Master Emerald residing on Angel Island, and -- as his name suggests -- a powerful martial artist. Due to his isolation, he's rather hotheaded and gullible, which makes him very easy for Dr. Eggman to manipulate, but he's proved useful to Sonic's endeavors more often than not.

| 1207 | A FallenAngel turned bartender and weapons dealer. In his games of origin, Rodin supplies Bayonetta her guns, serving as a shopkeeper at his bar, the Gates of Hell, selling her new weapons, techniques, and more in exchange for Halos dropped from defeated Angels. In ''Smash'', he delivers weapon items to his summoner, and attacks with giant angelic fists. |
| 1208 | ---- |
| 1209 | * AscendedExtra: He goes from being a simple (downloadable) collectible Trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'', to a very helpful Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate''. |
| 1210 | * TheBlacksmith: He makes his weapons from the souls of demons. Right before leaving the stage, he'll toss a weapon-type item (such as a Ray Gun, Beam Sword, or Drill Arm) for his summoner. |
| 1211 | * CoolShades: He's never seen without his pitch black sunglasses. |
| 1212 | * DivingKick: He has his own version of Bayonetta's After Burner Kick. |
| 1213 | * DownloadableContent: His trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'' comes when you download Bayonetta. |
| 1214 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Scanning any ''Smash'' amiibo in the Switch version of ''Bayonetta 2'' will have Rodin tell Bayonetta that a package arrived from "that fight club" she's in. He then muses about tagging along with her the next time she goes, foreshadowing his apperance as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate''. |
| 1215 | * GuestFighter: From the Creator/{{Sega}}-owned, Creator/PlatinumGames-developed ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' series. |
| 1216 | * MagikarpPower: His Spirit is an Enhanceable-type. Upon hitting Level 99, he can transform into his demonic "Infinite One" form from ''Bayonetta 2''. |
| 1217 | * MythologyGag: |
| 1218 | ** He gives weapon items to whoever summons him before he leaves, a nod to how he supplies Bayonetta with her weapons in his home series, particularly to how he literally throws Bayonetta her guns during the Prologue of both games. The way he attacks with gigantic summoned fists is also similar to how he fights as a {{Superboss}} in his home series. |
| 1219 | ** In the Switch version of ''Bayonetta 2'', scanning amiibo produces letters to Bayonetta from Rodin about the reward. Scanning a ''Smash'' amiibo has him mention her "Fight Club" and request she invite him along next time. Come ''Ultimate'', he's now included as an Assist Trophy. |
| 1220 | ** His Spirit can be Enhanced into his Infinite One form that he uses in his aforementioned {{Superboss}} fight in ''Bayonetta 2'', and it has the [[CriticalStatusBuff Critical Health Attack]] ability, a nod to how he transforms [[TurnsRed once he takes enough damage]] during the battle. |
| 1221 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: Upon being summoned, Rodin says "let the games begin!" |
| 1222 | * ScaryBlackMan: He has dark brown skin, an intimidating presence, and enough power to be considered a PhysicalGod. |
| 1223 | * ShockwaveStomp: One of his other attacks has him stomp the floor to create a demonic shock wave. |
| 1224 | * SummonMagic: He attacks in a manner similar to Bayonetta, with giant fists summoned from runes. A closer look reveals that they're actually the arms of his angel form. |

| 1232 | |
| 1233 | A KnightInShiningArmor who wields a shovel against any evildoers who wish to do harm. Kind, clever, and bound by the Code of Shovelry, Shovel Knight takes up his weapon to stop the Enchantress and her Order of No Quarter and find his beloved partner, Shield Knight. The shovel-bladed hero appears as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate'', becoming the second representative of an indie developer in the franchise (after [[VideoGame/BitTrip CommanderVideo]] as a Trophy in ''Wii U'') and the first to show up during actual gameplay; fitting, as he was one of the more well-known indie characters in recent years, as well as a popular choice for ''Smash''. |
| 1234 | ---- |
| 1235 | * DishingOutDirt: He can attack enemies by flinging dirt at them with his shovel. This sometimes reveals items, too. |
| 1236 | * GuestFighter: Not only is Shovel Knight another third-party character that's an Assist Trophy without a playable representative, he's the first one to be from an indie developer. |
| 1237 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: That shovel of his has helped him traverse varying terrains, defeat nine of his former allies, and defeat the Enchantress once and for all. |
| 1238 | * KnightInShiningArmor: A heroic knight with a bulky figure who saves his lady friend. |
| 1239 | * TheMedic: Sometimes, he can [[InexplicablyPreservedDungeonMeat dig up food that you can eat!]] |
| 1240 | * {{Retraux}}: Like Mr. Game & Watch and Mega Man, his animations are designed to be directly based off of his home game. |
| 1241 | * ShovelStrike: What he's famous for. One of his attacks even has him hit enemies with his shovel by falling onto them. |

| 1251 | |
| 1252 | A young, enthusiastic, pizza-loving rookie participating in the Grand Prix. He joins ''Smash'' as an assist, using his long ARMS to deliver swift, powerful punches. |
| 1253 | ---- |
| 1254 | * AssistCharacter: In addition to being an Assist Trophy, he also shows up to help during Min Min's Final Smash, "ARMS Rush". |
| 1255 | * ButtMonkey: The Min Min trailer wasn't kind to him. During her trailer, while he made a victorious introduction by defeating Byte & Barq in a match, he was the first to spot the Smash invitation and take it, only for Ribbon Girl to punch him in the face and steal it; then before Min Min gets the invitation, the ones last standing are Twintelle and Kid Cobra, with him amongst the knocked out fighters. His Assist Trophy is then later shown only for Min Min to KO him with just one attack, and then showed to be reduced to be part of her Final Smash. Finally, the official Twitter account for ARMS posted [[https://twitter.com/ARMS_Cobutter/status/1275077388875915265 this artwork]] which shows Min Min eating ramen with some of the roster, as Spring Man watches from a window with an unamused expression. |
| 1256 | * DemotedToExtra: He's the mascot of ''ARMS'', yet he shows up here as an assist trophy while [[DarkHorseVictory Min Min becomes part of the playable roster]]. This is probably unintentional since at launch, he was added as an assist trophy at all because the ''Smash'' team wanted to represent the then relatively new ''ARMS'' franchise, but there wasn't enough time to make him playable. Though according to the director of ''ARMS'', he considers each of the characters to be the protagonist. |
| 1257 | * LimitBreak: If he's sufficiently damaged, he uses a Rush to deliver RapidFireFisticuffs to anyone in close range. |
| 1258 | * LongRangeFighter: Spring Man's fists can reach even further than Simon's whip. |

| 1273 | * NonIndicativeName: The Squid ''Sisters'' aren't actually siblings, they're cousins. |
| 1274 | * PowerUpLetdown: Unlike most Assist Trophies, their effect is neutral, meaning the enemy can benefit from it too. |

| 1286 | ---- |
| 1287 | * AscendedExtra: Sukapon first appears as a sticker in ''Brawl''. |
| 1288 | * FloatingLimbs: Much like VideoGame/{{Rayman}}, this was originally used to allow for fluid animation without taking up too much memory. Sukapon even shows up in VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'s Spirit battle as a nod to this. |
| 1289 | * {{Retraux}}: Despite having a full 3D model, Sukapon is animated rather choppily to match the character's original Famicom appearance. |
| 1290 | * SpectacularSpinning: Sukapon constantly twirls while on the ground, and has the self-explanatory attack Sukapon Roll. |

| 1301 | Enemies from the ''Mario'' series, Thwomps are floating stone blocks with faces who attempt to crush anyone underneath them. |
| 1302 | ---- |
| 1303 | * AdaptationalBadass: Mario and Luigi normally requires the Starman power up to defeat Thwomps in their home games. But in ''Smash'' they are fully ''immune'' to it, due to the Starman power up only preventing damage being taken during matches and not allowing the usual InstaKill mechanic when they walk into enemies or players. |
| 1304 | * AscendedExtra: It appeared as a trophy in ''Melee'' and ''3DS'', along with being one of the forms Kirby's Stone move can take since ''Melee''. |
| 1305 | * DeathFromAbove: Thwomps' only means of attack is to fall upon anyone beneath them. |
| 1306 | * DishingOutDirt: As a sentient stone block with the urge to crush anything under its body, this is a given. |
| 1307 | * DubNameChange: Known as Dossun in Japanese. |
| 1308 | * InvincibleMinorMinion: The only ''Mario'' enemy in every Assist Trophy lineup that cannot be KO'd whatsoever. This is accurate to its home appearance, where it is normally incapable of being defeated outside of using a Starman power up in it's home games (it's only major weakness), but is flat out immune here. |

| 1326 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: As a Manakete, she's a dragon sealed into a human form. She requires the use of a Dragonstone to temporarily regain her true form, which in this game appears as a white-and-green Western-type dragon with a crocodilian head, and attack enemies. |
| 1327 | * Really700YearsOld: Though she may look like a young woman, she's actually 3,000 years old. |
