Assist Trophy

An Assist Trophy is an item in Super Smash Flash 2 that, when grabbed, summons a random non-playable character to aid the player who summoned it.

Overview
Assist Trophies work nearly identical to Poké Balls. However, no 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 animation. Basically they are "guest" characters separate from the playable roster. The majority of Assist Trophies in SSF2 are undamageable, with only, Mother Brain and Starfy being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit.
