Item Types

The game has divided the items in different groups or categories.

Final Smash

There is only one item in this category: the Smash Ball. Destroying this item will grant the player who destroyed it the capability to execute their ultimate attack called the Final Smash. This is the only method in the game that allows you to do it so once you see it floating around, go ahead and prioritize destroying it!

Helping

Items in this category allows the user to call in random allies to help them out in battle temporarily. The summoning player can't control these allies while opponents can't hurt them as well. The attacks and effects produced by summoned allies are unique to themselves. Since they are random, some stages affect which type of allies will appear.

Items under this category:

• Assist Trophy
• Poke Ball
• Master Ball

Combining

There are only two items belong to this category; each of them are divided to three different parts that players must collect in order to fully assemble these powerful weapons and use it against their opponents. Attacking players carrying the parts will force them to drop it so it is possible to complete the weapon even if different players picked up the parts.

Items under this category:

• Dragoon Parts
• Daybreak

Carrying

Carrying items are composed of containers that 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.

Exploding

Though there are other items that will probably fit in this category, only the Blast Box is listed as a separate type. 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.

Punching

The Sandbag is the only item that belongs to this type. This item drops recovery items when hit repeatedly. It will keep dropping items until it sustains enough damage where it will be launched off the stage quickly.

Recovery

These are healing items that lower your sustained damage percentage. This items need to be picked up in order for them to take effect. These recovery items have a varying amount of damage they can heal. Picking them up is a must, even if you have no damage yet since this denies your opponents from taking advantage of its benefits. The type of food that will appear will also depend on the stage.
