Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Definitive Edition/Items

An item is an object that either randomly appears on-stage during a match or is summoned by a character's special move, that can be picked up and used by characters. Many items can be wielded once picked up, while others apply an effect, and almost all can be thrown at opponents. Items are a large part of the gameplay of the Super Smash Bros. series, but problems with randomness and inconsistent risk/reward balance results in tournament rulesets universally requiring that random spawning of items be disabled using the Item Switch before starting the match.

Categories for Items

Image	Name	Meaning
	Container	Items can be thrown or destroyed to release other items. Most container items have a 12.8% chance of exploding once broken open.
	Battering	Items can be used to melee opposing fighters. Holding battering items replaces a fighter's neutral, forward smash, dash attack, and forward tilt attacks with ones that use said battering item.
	Throwing	Items can only be used by being thrown at opponents.
	Shooting	Items can be used to shoot projectiles at opponents, replacing the fighter's neutral and neutral aerial attacks with such weapon.
File:Status Items Icon.png	Status	Items can alter a fighter's stats, often in a beneficial way but sometimes in ways that are not. Some status items do not need to be picked up, and take effect when a fighter comes in contact with it.
	Recovery	Items heal a fighter by decreasing the amount of damage they've taken or increasing the amount of HP they have in a Stamina Match.
	Explosive	Items that explodes.
	Combining	Items that first must be assembled before they can be used.
	Summoning	Items release a character to assist the one who released them.
	Special	Items that have special effects.
	Other	Items do not fit into any of the above categories.
