The Super Launch Star spawns on the stage like most items. When picked up and thrown, however, it will become larger and float in the air. The Super Launch Star will aim in the direction it was pointing when it grows.
The Super Launch Star debuted  as a throwing/trapping item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It will appear small when appearing on a stage, but when picked up and thrown, they will become larger, float in the air, and aim in the direction it was thrown. It will stay in place for around 10 seconds after being thrown before disappearing.
 
Whenever a character touches a Super Launch Star hovering in the air, it will launch them, doing no damage but dealing heavy knockback. The knockback will scale up with damage and is usually well enough to rocket characters over blast lines, especially if the Super Launch Star was pointing upwards. This makes the Super Launch Star a significant hazard on all but the largest stages.
