Fighting Alloy Team

The Fighting Alloy Team (, Mysterious Small Fry Enemy Corps) is a group of non-playable enemies found in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Multi-Man Brawl. They fulfill the same role as Super Smash Bros. Melees Fighting Wire Frames and Super Smash Bros.s Fighting Polygon Team. Unlike their predecessors, they do not appear in the main one player games, only making appearances in Multi-Man Brawl.

Overview
Alloys are shiny, robot-like figures with cavities where their faces would otherwise be, and white spheres attached to their limbs and within their facial cavities. There are four types of Alloys, each with its own body shape, color, and cloned moveset:

Fighting
While the Fighting Alloys possess the animations and standard attacks of playable characters, they are not able to use any special moves. They also cannot shield or use any dodges. They can grab and be grabbed by players, but cannot grab and hang from edges like playable characters. They cannot taunt and they cannot tech. They cannot pick up or hold items, but they can interact with most items that do not require picking up. For example, they may hit Soccer Balls and gain invincibility from Starmen, but are not affected by Super or Poison Mushrooms. Alloys cannot be inflicted with the flower ailment. There are no sound effects when using moves.

It is possible for human players to play as Fighting Alloys through hacking the game. The following applies when fighting as an Alloy:
 * Attempting to use a Final Smash will freeze the Alloy in a regular pose until it is hit by something.
 * In matches that end with a victory screen, the game freezes when the match finishes. This can be avoided via the use of Ocarina codes.
 * The Alloys' losing animation is the sitting pose that occurs after a pratfall, and their victory pose is their standing animation.
 * Saving a replay will cause the game to freeze when loading the replay section of the vault. This will occur until vault data is cleared.
 * When at the result screen, the narrator says the resembling character instead of the alloy's name. See the picture of yellow alloy with the Mario emblem. But if the hack is done on Dolphin emulator, the victory screen will show the Smash emblem and the announcer will say "The winner is Fighting Alloy Team.", and the winner text will show its game ID.
 * When doing a metal, flower, bunny, curry, or reflect match, alloys will be normal.
 * If the Alloys are used in Multi-Man Brawl, the game will crash after one enemy is defeated.

When using knockback modifiers in Cruel Brawl, it is shown that some Fighting Alloys are given stronger handicaps that make them more resilient to knockback, while also dealing greater knockback to the player.

Spirit
The Fighting Alloy Team appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Advance-class support spirit.

The Spirit Battle uses armies of, , , and puppet fighters and are fought on the  stage's Battlefield form.

Trivia

 * In real life, an alloy is a metal composed of multiple base metals. Similarly, the Alloys combine facets of their two predecessors: parts of their bodies are blocky like the Polygons, and they have a transparent purple core that is very reminiscent of the Wire Frames.
 * The Yellow Alloy's appearance is very similar to the citizens of the planet Geolyte from the Nintendo DS game Meteos, a game Masahiro Sakurai was a designer on.
 * An unused announcer file containing the speech "Fighting Alloy Team" implies that the team was to appear in at some point in development, like their predecessors.
 * Red Alloys are able to use fire in their side-smashes, because of Captain Falcon also having using fire in his respective side-smash. However, Blue Alloys cannot use magic, despite their movesets being based off of Zelda (apart from their up smash, which deals electric damage). Also, Yellow Alloys have a fire graphic in their side smashes, but produces no fire effect and the damage and knockback is consistent, no matter where their side smashes land (including the graphic).
 * The Red Alloy is the only Alloy that has an unlockable character's move set (namely, Captain Falcon).
 * All Alloys share most of their movement attributes with Mario, with the main exception being their double jump.
 * All Alloys have 40 frames of landing lag for all their aerial attacks, regardless of what the base character has.
 * All alloys have a 60 frame meteor cancel window, much like.
 * The Alloys' individual Japanese names, which consist of "Zako" suffixed by their respective color, might be a reference to the ' series (which is the basis for the ' franchise), in which many teams have their members' theme naming follow the same convention. The Red Alloy trophy stating that red usually serves a leadership role in color-coded groups also references the franchise, in which typically the Red Rangers lead the teams.
 * The Yellow Alloy trophy in Brawl states that it can't use items. However, if it touches a Super Star, it's invincible.
