Assist Trophies are a new item to the Super Smash Bros series. In a nutshell, they are essentially the Pokéballs of the non-Pokémon franchise. When the item is used, a random character from another game series comes out and does a specialised attack based entirely upon their characteristics from the game which they are from. There are almost 30 different kinds of Assist Trophies, giving a good range of random characters to come to the fight and do major damage
