Back Shield
| Origin: | Kid Icarus: Uprising |
| Description: | Deploys a shield that will protect the player from back attacks. The shield has a considerable damage tolerance before getting destroyed. |
Banana Peel
| Origin: | Mario Kart |
| Description: | Any player who steps on this or gets hit directly will fall over. |
Beam Sword
| Origin: | Super Smash Bros. |

Beehive
| Origin: | Animal Crossing |
| Description: | When thrown to a fighter, these bees will continuously attack him/her, dealing constant but small amount of damage. If the beehive didn't hit any fighter, the bees will be on standby where the beehive is and will attack any player that makes contact with them. |
Beetle
| Origin: | The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword |
| Description: | As the item's in-game description goes, this a potent throwing item for unsuspecting, heavily damaged opponents. When this item hits them and they're unable to escape, they'll be carried offscreen for a quick KO. |
Blast Box
| Origin: | Super Smash Bros. Brawl |
| Description: | This item can be carried and thrown, similar to Containers but will explode once enough damage is dealt immediately. One thing though; hitting a Blast Box with a fire attack can make it detonate instantly. The explosion can also damage you so be careful not to get caught in the blast. |
Bob-omb
| Origin: | Super Mario Bros. 2 |
| Description: | Primarily, these guys can be thrown to opponents to cause direct, explosive damage. Be warned though; these guys will activate and explode automatically if you hold them too long. Leave them alone in the battlefield and they'll walk around, detonating on any fighter that makes contact with them. |
Bombchu
| Origin: | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time |
| Description: | When thrown, Bombchus will follow the surface where they landed and will explode until their fuse runs out or hits someone. |
Boomerang
| Origin: | Super Mario Bros. 3 |
| Description: | As the description suggests, a good way of increasing its power is by throwing it, land a few hits on your target and catch it. Repeat until it degrades. |
Boss Galaga
| Origin: | Galaga |
| Description: | Any opponent who gets caught in its tractor beam will be whisked offscreen. The captured player can escape as long as they haven't sustained too much damage. You can also force players into the beam by smashing them and launching them towards the beam. |
Bullet Bill
| Origin: | Super Mario Bros. |
| Description: | This turns the user to a giant bullet that travels in a straight line and pummel anyone in its way. Players must be cautious when using this since they can't change direction while the bullet is traveling, which can take them offscreen. After using the bullet, users revert back to their original form and if they're too far from edge of the stage, they have a risk of falling to their KO. |
Bumper
| Origin: | Super Mario Bros. |
| Description: | As the description says, once deployed on the air or the ground, anyone who touches it will bounce. Placing this near the edge of a stage and launching enemies to that direction sounds like a good deterrent. |

| Description: | With this equipped, the jump height of the user will be significantly increased. |
Containers
| Origin: | N/A |
| Description: | Containers may contain other items inside when destroyed. There's a small percentage that these containers will explode upon destruction as well. These can be picked up and thrown towards enemies. Like Helping items, the selected stage affects what containers you'll get. |

| Description: | Anyone hit by these nuts will either be dazed or launched, depending if they're on the ground or in mid-air. |
Dragoon Parts

Drill
| Origin: | Kid Icarus: Uprising |
| Description: | When fired, the drill bit will keep pushing the enemy across the stage while dealing repeated damage. The handle will still be left behind so you can throw this to your opponents. |
Fairy Bottle
| Origin: | The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past |
| Description: | This item can only be used by fighters with more than 100% damage. If your damage level is way lower than that, you can use the bottle as a throwable weapon. Otherwise, make sure to pick it up and throw it off stage to prevent your opponents from using it. |
Fire Bar
| Origin: | Super Mario Bros. |
| Description: | This weapon has average damage and reach but it grows shorter as it degrades. Once it is down to 2-3 fireballs, it is recommended to just throw it away. |
