The Assist Trophy is a new item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Functioning much like Poké Balls have in all three Super Smash Bros. games, the Assist Trophies randomly releases one of many available helper characters. Unlike the Poké Ball item, however, an Assist Trophy character can be from any universe, not simply the Pokémon universe. While some of the characters come from established universes, such as Waluigi from the Mario universe, a few are from otherwise unrepresented universes, such as Helirin. Some Assist Trophy characters must be unlocked before they will appear during gameplay. (more...)
