Game:
If I had to pick a game, it would be Donkey Kong or Mario Kart, but more so it’s just a clichéd item.

Bunny Hood

Bunny Hood

Game:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

How to use:

Game:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

How to use:

The parts will appear above your damage counter. When all three are assembled, you hop on board and a giant sight will appear around the stage. Move the sight overtop of a fleeing opponent and press A to launch your assault. If you connect, it’s a one hit kill.

Your character will begin furiously pounding with hammer, making him almost invincible. It’s upgraded from the regular hammer in that it is faster, does more damage, you can float in mid air with it if you run off the stage, and it comes in gold on a shining important-looking platform. They didn’t fix all the problems though. Sometimes this hammer will get mixed up with a look-a-like that does no damage and squeaks on contact. Well, maybe they’ll laugh themselves to death...

Home-run Bat

Home-run Bat

Game:
Smash Exclusive

How to use:
Replaces (or at least augments) your standard and smash attacks with bat swings

Uses:
Insanely powerful, not very useful. For its full effect you need to do a side-smash attack. If you can connect, it’s pretty much a one-hit-kill, the problem is the timing can be hard as it takes a second to wind up and if you miss you'll be totally open for a second.

 

Hothead

Hothead

Game:
Super Mario World

How to use:
A to pick up and again to throw

Lip’s Stick

Game:
Panel de Pon

How to use:
A to pick up. Replaces your standard and side smash attacks with stick attacks.

Uses:
When thrown, it will stick to the surface. Unlike in the old games, it wont blink, it will stay purple, making it even harder to see. If someone touches the bomb when set, it blows up. Not as powerful as a bob-omb, but works great as traps on large stages.

Pitfall

Pitfall

Game:

If you throw it at them in mid-air, it becomes a meteor smash.

Screw Attack

Screw Attack

Game:
Metroid

How to use:
A to put it on

Uses:
You wear it like the Franklin Badge. It turns your standard and mid-air jump into a screw attack from the Metroid series. Kind of hard to explain, but basically you spin on a horizontal axis while leaking energy that will damage your opponents.

 

Smart Bomb

Smart Bomb

Game:
Star Fox

How to use:
A control stick to throw

Uses:
Smart bomb can be tricky. Once thrown, it SHOULD explode on contact, but not always. It sometimes wont explode at all or might take a few seconds to explode. In essence this item could backfire pretty easily, especially since the explosion encompasses most of the stage.

Smash Ball

Smash Ball

Game:
Smash Exclusive

How to use:
Press the B button (Side-B and B-up wont activate it)

Uses:
Smash ball is used for activating your characters final smash. The Smash Ball floats around the stage randomly, and fairly quickly. To pick it up, you have to attack it. It has sort of a shield around it, so it can take several attacks. The person to attack it after the shield breaks gets it. After getting the item, you don’t have to use it immediately. You can hold on to it if you want. Walk around stage with it, get yourself in the best position before unleashing it. Your character will glow yellow to let you know you still have it. Now if someone where to hit you while you are walking around, you’ll lose the item and it will float around again (only with no shield). So be careful.

Final Smashes, like Special Attacks, vary greatly form character to character and take advantage of that characters abilities. For a full list of final smashes, see the [url]Character Section[/url] and look up the character you want to see it for.
