The Healing Sprout is a throwing item that sticks to fighters and gradually heals them. It can be transferred from fighter to fighter on contact, similarly to the [[Gooey Bomb]]. The sprout will heal whoever picks it up when the item is held. This will prevent the sprout from transferring, as long as it is not thrown. Players can stick the sprout onto themselves by throwing it up and touching it while it comes down, which will allow them to use any attack while being healed, but the sprout will be susceptible to being transferred. The sprout heals 1.6% every half second when held and stuck.

*While the item was revealed on November 1st, 2018, the item was accidentally leaked by Nintendo of America on October 26th, 2018: the official Twitter account [https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1055519359622410241 uploaded a video] promoting their Wendy's College Tailgate Tour in which the Healing Sprout can be seen on the [[Mute City SNES]] stage for a split second.

**Despite being unrelated to the series, [https://twitter.com/IsaacAdepts/status/1055618888098996225?s=20 fans quickly noticed] that this item highly resembled the [[goldensununiverse:Growth Psynergy series|Growth Psynergy]] from ''{{s|goldensununiverse|Golden Sun: Dark Dawn}}'', believing it to be the Psynergy and thus seemingly confirming boosted representation for the {{uv|Golden Sun}} universe, which at the time corroborated to the legitimacy of the "[[Grinch hoax]]". It was only on its official reveal that the Healing Sprout was confirmed to be an original item with no connection to the ''Golden Sun'' series.

*This item could be considered the replacement of the [[Team Healer]] item from ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'', due to having similar functions, except it heals anybody it's thrown at and not just the user's teammate(s), therefore, making the Team Healer irrelevant.
