Trophy

Trophies are collectible items found in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, featured as well in Super Smash Flash 2.

Trophies represent various characters, items, and other elements from the many games released by Nintendo and third-party companies. Collecting them is optional, and do not affect the gameplay of the other modes. They also provide information about the characters. They were developed as in SSBM and SSBB, the concept was that all of the characters in the SSBM and SSBB universe were merely animated trophies made to fight, while other trophies that the player could pick up never were animated. This theme is especially outlined in the introduction movie of SSBM and SSBB ' s Subspace Emissary.

In Super Smash Flash 2
As said above and due their absence in the first Super Smash Flash, trophies are feature in Super Smash Flash 2 having the same characteristics from the trophies of the official counterparts. This suggests that trophies would be a part of the Adventure Mode: The Flash Of Shadows storyline at some point.
