The '''Assist Trophy''' ({{ja|アシストフィギュア}}, ''Assist Figure'') is an [[item]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that, when picked up, breaks open and summons a random [[Nintendo]] or third-party character to aid the user. Assist Trophies work very similarly to [[Poké Ball]]s. However, no [[Pokémon]] come out of them, and once an Assist Trophy is grabbed, it is automatically activated, assuming the holder is standing on the ground, and not in a [[jump]], [[attack]], or [[hitstun]]. Some Assist Trophies must be unlocked in order to be used, such as [[Gray Fox]] from ''Metal Gear''. Unlike the Poké Ball, this item can be eaten by moves such as Kirby and King Dedede's [[Inhale]], and [[Munchlax]].

The majority of Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' are undamageable, with only Starfy and Lakitu being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even [[KO|KO'd]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', however, some Assist Trophies can be attacked, potentially interrupting their attacks or otherwise manipulating how they perform and even being able to [[KO]] them (this can be seen by their ending animations coming earlier than normal, them having their own death animation, or simply teleporting away). However, there is no reward for KOing an Assist Trophy. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', more than one Assist Trophy can be on the stage at once. A larger number of Assist Trophies are also made able to be KO'd, which grants the player who KO'd them one point.
==Overview==
Assist Trophies function very similarly to [[Poké Ball]]s. However, no [[Pokémon]] come out of them and, once an Assist Trophy is grabbed, it is automatically activated, assuming the holder is standing on the ground and not in a [[jump]], [[attack]], or [[hitstun]]. In ''Brawl'', some Assist Trophies must be unlocked in order to be used, such as [[Gray Fox]] from ''Metal Gear''. Unlike the Poké Ball, this item can be eaten by moves such as Kirby and King Dedede's [[Inhale]], and [[Munchlax]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', all of the Assist Trophies in the base game are available from the start.
 
Assist Trophies fall into three basic categories. The most common type are characters that attack opponents directly. Once an opponent is targeted, the character chases them down and attacks them with a limited moveset. While these characters are often very powerful and capable of overwhelming the opponent, they are also very predictable, meaning they can easily be avoided and tricked. A majority of damageable characters are this type of Assist Trophy. The second type are characters that act on a set script and do not directly engage in the battle. They indirectly cause collateral damage from their actions, such as flying objects or explosions. The third type are characters that act in a support role to the summoner. They either grant status effects to the summoner or the opponent or both, or effect the appearance of the game itself. This is the rarest type of Assist Trophy.
 
The majority of Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' are undamageable, with only [[Starfy]] and [[Lakitu]] being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even [[KO'd]]. In ''Smash 4'', however, some Assist Trophies can be attacked, potentially interrupting their attacks or otherwise manipulating how they perform and even being able to KO them (this can be seen by their ending animations coming earlier than normal, them having their own death animation, or simply teleporting away). However, there is no reward for KOing an Assist Trophy. In ''Ultimate'', the number of damageable Assist Trophies was expanded to include nearly all that attack fighters directly. They now emit a yellowish aura when they are low on health, and grant the player who KO'd them one point as if they took an opponent's [[stock]]. When the Assist Trophy is close to becoming KO'd, the summoner can KO it to prevent other players from gaining a point. More than one Assist Trophy can now be on the stage at once, which introduced the concept of Assist Trophies fighting each other, as they are programmed as CPU characters and go after CPU characters as well. In addition, certain Assist Trophies now have the ability to teleport on command, such as teleporting closer to an opponent when too far away or when crossing a [[blast line]].
 
Either due to complications with the stage or the character's appearance in the background (e.g. because he's a vampire, which does not have a reflection, Alucard cannot appear in Wii Fit Studio, which features a giant mirror in the background, and because darkness would completely block out the drawings, Nikki cannot be summoned on stages that have a dark scenery (e.g. [[Gamer]])), many Assist Trophies cannot appear on certain stages in ''Ultimate''. The only stages where all Assist Trophies can appear are {{b|Training|stage}}, {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, [[Small Battlefield]], {{SSBU|Big Battlefield}}, {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}}, [[Skyworld]], [[Smashville]], [[Windy Hill Zone]], [[Yggdrasil's Altar]] and [[Northern Cave]].

Assist Trophies return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' with a more iridescent design and a softer "popping" sound upon use, instead of the glass-shattering sound effect it had in ''Brawl''. Unlike in ''Brawl'', where all Assist Trophies apart from Starfy and Laiktu could not be damaged nor defeated, several Assist Trophies can now be KO'd, including several returning ones who could not be attacked in ''Brawl''. There are 39 Assist Trophies in total, with 21 new trophies and 18 returning from ''Brawl''. Both the 3DS and Wii U versions include exactly the same Assist Trophies, and unlike in ''Brawl'', there are no unlockable Assist Trophies.
Assist Trophies return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They now sport their modern design, with a shorter, more iridescent design and a softer "popping" sound upon use, instead of the glass-shattering sound effect it had in ''Brawl''. Unlike in ''Brawl'', where no Assist Trophies apart from Starfy and Lakitu could even be damaged, let alone defeated, several Assist Trophies, including several returning ones who could not be attacked in ''Brawl'', can now be KO'd. There are 39 Assist Trophies in total, with 21 new ones and 18 returning from ''Brawl'', while nine were cut (with [[Little Mac|one]] of them becoming a fighter instead).

For the first time in the series, multiple Assist Trophies can appear at once. Players are rewarded points in [[Time]] battles when KOing a defeatable Assist Trophy. Occasionally, opposing Assist Trophies may fight each other. They can also now be affected by status effects such as freezing. The item itself reuses the rainbow dome from ''SSB4''. There are 59 Assist Trophies available in the game.
For the first time in the series, multiple Assist Trophies can appear at once. Up to two Assist Trophies may appear on screen at a time but no two Assist Trophy items can summon the same character. Some Assist Trophies cannot appear at the same time as others. Players get points in [[Time]] battles when KOing a defeatable Assist Trophy. Occasionally, opposing Assist Trophies may fight each other. Assist Trophies also respawn if they fall off the stage accidentally. The item itself reuses the rainbow dome from ''SSB4'', though the rainbow effect is more subtle, and it no longer has a bluish tint. There are 59 total Assist Trophies, with 27 new ones, 30 returning from ''SSB4'', and [[Gray Fox|two]] [[Isaac|returning]] from ''Brawl'' after being cut from ''SSB4''. Nine Assist Trophies from ''SSB4'' were also cut (with [[Dark Samus|two]] [[Isabelle|of]] them becoming fighters instead).
 
For various reasons (such as gimmicks affecting the Assist Trophy's visibility or abilities, already appearing as a background character, or even [[Alucard]] not appearing in front of mirrors), certain Assist Trophies are unable to spawn on certain stages.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Little Mac]], [[Dark Samus]] and [[Isabelle]] are the only Assist Trophies in the series to become playable characters in later installments.
*[[Little Mac]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Isabelle]] all debuted in the ''Smash'' series as Assist Trophies, then became playable characters in later installments.
*The {{uv|Yoshi}} and {{uv|Pokémon}} series are the only two franchises with playable characters in every installment to lack Assist Trophies.
*[[Isaac]] and [[Gray Fox]] are the only Assist Trophies to skip an installment in the franchise and return in a later game. Interestingly, both were referred to as "newcomer" Assist Trophies on the ''Ultimate'' website.
**Because the ''Pokémon'' series uses [[Poké Ball]]s instead, the ''Yoshi'' series is the only one to lack any assist characters whatsoever.
*[[Andross]], [[Devil]], [[Dr. Wright]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Jeff]], [[Knuckle Joe]], [[Lyn]], {{b|Metroid|creature}}, [[Nintendog]], [[Samurai Goroh]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]], [[Starfy]], and [[Waluigi]] are the only Assist Trophies to appear in all three games since their introduction in ''Brawl''.
*{{uv|Dillon's Rolling Western}} is the only Assist Trophy-only universe introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' to have solely been developed by a second-party developer (being Vanpool).
*The {{uv|Yoshi}} and {{uv|Pokémon}} series are the only "Original 10" universes that have never had any Assist Trophies.
**However, {{uv|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}, while primarily developed by Nintendo R&D1, was co-developed by [[Intelligent Systems]].
**However, the ''Pokémon'' series uses [[Poké Ball]]s, making the ''Yoshi'' series the only one in the "Original 10" that has never had any item-based assist characters whatsoever.
*[[Hammer Bro.]] is the only Assist Trophy character to appear as an enemy in the [[Subspace Emissary]].
**The other universes that have never had any Assist Trophies are {{uv|Ice Climber}}, {{uv|Game & Watch}}, {{uv|R.O.B.}}, {{uv|Wii Fit}}, {{uv|Mii}}, {{uv|Duck Hunt}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, and the DLC universes in ''Ultimate'', except for {{uv|ARMS}}.
**It is also one of five Assist Trophies to appear as an enemy in [[Smash Run]], along with {{b|Starman|EarthBound}}, [[Lakitu and Spinies]] (albeit using their 3D designs), [[Chain Chomp]], and {{b|Metroid|creature}}.
*The {{uv|Mega Man}} franchise has the most Assist Trophies out of any third-party franchise at 3, with [[Elec Man]] appearing in ''Smash 4'' and {{b|Zero|Mega Man}} and [[Wily Capsule]] appearing in ''Ultimate''.
*In ''Brawl'', the {{uv|Mario}} universe is the only universe to have more than one Assist Trophy.
*In the GameCube preview issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' article comments that Nintendo originally tried to implement Assist Trophies in ''Melee''. The only trophy concept they gave details on was one that would release the ducks from {{uv|Duck Hunt}} to fly around the stage and interfere with the fighters.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW4lhbnQIII#t=5m40s]</ref>
**In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', it is tied with {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} for the most Assist Trophies, with four.
*In the English version of the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was mistranslated as saying that Assist Trophies would "figure into [[All-Star Mode]]" in some fashion in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself.
*[[Prince Sablé]], [[Sukapon]], [[Jill]], [[Ray MK III]], [[Magnus]], and [[Phosphora]] are the only Assist Trophy characters that have appeared in only one game outside of their Smash appearances.
*Prior to the ''Ultimate'' [[List of updates (SSBU)/2.0.0 changelog|2.0.0 update]], if two {{SSBU|Isabelle}}s used [[Fishing Rod]] to grab onto an Assist Trophy, one would grab on, and the other would not; however, the result would be the former [[Infinite Assist Trophy glitch|infinitely spawning the same Assist Trophy]] until she got hit.
*[[Shovel Knight]] is the first and (as of ''Ultimate'') only Assist Trophy from an Indie game developer.
*Not counting [[Rathalos]], who is fought as a boss, [[Rodin]], Samurai Goroh, [[Phosphora]], and [[Spring Man]] are the only Assist Trophy characters never to appear in any [[Spirit Battle]].
*In ''Brawl'''s {{SSBB|Classic Mode}}, if the character who summoned an Assist Trophy is KO'd, the Assist Trophy disappears. However, this does not happen in [[All-Star Mode]].
**Out of all of these, Spring Man is the only one whose Spirit has a spirit battle, as Rodin, Samurai Goroh, and Phosphora are all summon-exclusive.
*In the Smash Direct for ''SSB4'', Waluigi was shown as a ''Wario'' series Assist Trophy, despite never appearing in a ''Wario'' game. By the game's release, he is corrected to represent the ''Mario'' series, like in ''Brawl''.
 
*In ''SSB4'', the silhouette figure within the Assist Trophy capsule will occasionally blink its eyes.
