The Lightning Bolt appears as an item in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. When used, it will shrink every other [[character]] to [[Poison Mushroom]] size, reduce their attack power to 0.7x, make them lighter, and increase the amount of [[knockback]] that they take, similar to its function in the ''Mario Kart'' series. However, the item can backfire as well, resulting in the player who picked up the item to grow small instead, or make the other characters' size increase (much like collecting a [[Super Mushroom]], only the size-altering effects are amplified even further, causing fighters to grow to 2.4x their normal size, and their direct attacks will deal 1.84x their normal damage). | The Lightning Bolt appears as an item in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.

These effects stack with Mega/Mini mode in [[Special Smash]]. Touching a Super or Poison Mushroom will cancel Lightning’s effects. | ||
Unlike most other items, the Lightning Bolt requires a character to simply make contact with it in order to gain its effect. Any character affected by [[knockback]] while being struck by the Lightning Bolt is still affected by knockback after the shrink/growth occurs. Similar phenomena occurs with the Super Mushroom and Poison Mushroom. | Unlike most other items, the Lightning Bolt requires a character to simply make contact with it in order to gain its effect.

*The largest a character can be under normal circumstances is in [[Special Smash|Mega Smash]], after a lightning backfire. In this state, all size-altering effects are at their strongest, including character voices and sound effects being even deeper than collecting a Super Mushroom in Mega Smash, or after a lightning backfire in a normal match. | |||
**This could be visually amplified even further with [[Mario]]’s size-altering taunt prior to ''Ultimate''. | |||
*In ''Brawl'', [[Pikmin Throw]] uniquely won’t change pitch upon growing or shrinking. | |||
*In ''SSB4'', although Pikmin grow and shrink with [[Olimar]], the pitch of Pikmin depends on what size they were when plucked, and this pitch persists even after further size changes. | |||
