This is a listing of all trophies of Assist Trophy characters in Super Smash Stadium, the Video Game. Obviously, the trophies in this article are all characters capable of coming out of an Assist Trophy in this game. This includes all Assists on the show plus retired playable characters, but does NOT include retired Assists, which you'll have to go find elsewhere.


Trophy Name Description
Bomberman

SSB Bomberman Series Bomberman
Bomberman/MSX/1983 (Japan)
NES/1987 (internationally)

The star of the Bomberman games, duh. He lives on a planet with similar-looking but differently colored people, and he is usually the only white member of his species. His games are puzzle-solving affairs in which you must plant bombs to clear pathways to navigate through a giant maze. As an Assist Trophy on SSS, he has no mazes to go through, so his bombs exist solely to mess your opponents up. They explode in the series' signature cross shape, and he can chain bombs together in some rather complex formations.
BuzzybeetleNSMBU

SSB Mario Series Buzzy Beetle
Super Mario Bros. 1/NES/1985

More primitive-looking Koopas that are immune to fireballs. Since Super Mario Bros. 3, they've generally only been found in caves. On SSS, Buzzy Beetles are a clone of the Green Shell item that are completely immune to fire (natch), slightly more durable, and turn around at ledge edges instead of falling off. That last quality is probably good for mind games.
DuckHunt SSBUltimate

SSB Duck Hunt Series Duck Hunt Dog
Duck Hunt/NES/1984 (Japan)
NES/1985 (internationally)

Demoted to an Assist Trophy on SSS despite being a somewhat popular character in the past two Smashes, the Duck Hunt Dog can still help nonetheless. Unleash him, and he unleashes ducks onto the battlefield that do quite a bit of damage to anyone hit...as well as triggers his laugh.
Glass Joe

SSB Punch-Out Series Glass Joe
Punchout/arcade/1984

Little Mac's first opponent is so horrific you wonder why the WVBA even keeps him on their active roster. Originally from France, a country infamous for surrendering even though it used to have the best military in the world, Glass Joe has only won one boxing match in his entire career of the roughly 100 he's fought...on a technicality. We might forgive you for flinging your Switch across the room upon this guy coming out of an Assist Trophy, but there is a 10% chance he might be the difference maker in a match...
HWAoC Impa Artwork

SSB The Legend of Zelda Series Impa
The Legend of Zelda/Famicom Disk System/1986 (Japan)
NES/1987 (internationally)

The last of the "First Five" to debut on SSS, she wound up being the first one to be retired, and she didn't last very long, notching just three appearances in nine days early in September of 1972. But here on SSS the Video Game, she, along with all other retired playable characters, gets to have a second life as an Assist Trophy. Impa is a member of the mysterious Sheikah race, and much like Link, she comes in a young and old flavor. The old version of Impa is little more than a handmaiden for Zelda, but the young version of Impa, shown here, is quite an accomplished swordfighter. Unleash her from an Assist Trophy, and she'll relentlessly slice the first opponent she crosses with her daggers.
Kabu

SSB Kirby Series Kabu
Kirby's Dreamland 1/Game Boy/1992

A rock-like enemy that bounces back and forth. On SSS, unleash it from an Assist Trophy, and this bouncing will create a barrier that only you can pass through. In its own series, Kirby can beat this guy with most any of his attacks (despite being a rock), but he gets no Copy Ability for doing so. What a waste!
Knuckle Joe

SSB Kirby Series Knuckle Joe
Kirby Superstar/Super NES/1996

The primary way by which Kirby gets his Fighter power. Unleash this guy and he'll engage in his own fighting against opponents, using his signature moves of Vulcan Jab and Rising Break.
LakituNSMBU

SSB Mario Series Lakitu
Super Mario Bros. 1/NES/1985

Summon this pesky Koopa, and he'll rain Spinies down onto the battlefield, which can do harsh damage to opponents. On SSS, he has his modern 3D appearance instead of the 8-bit one he's had in other Smash games.
HW Manhandla

SSB The Legend of Zelda Series Manhandla
The Legend of Zelda/Famicom Disk System/1986 (Japan)
NES/1987 (internationally)

Did you know that Piranha Plants don't just appear in the Mario franchise? They appear in Zelda games, too, and the Manhandla is evidently a boss. Tried as a playable character on SSS for about 20 days in 1972, it went nowhere fast and was ultimately replaced in 1975 by regular Piranhas. Here on SSS the Video Game, however, the Manhandla is an Assist Trophy that bites opponents hard in all cardinal directions. Anyone unfortunate enough to get hit by the downwards facing head gets buried or Meteor Smashed!
Mouser

SSB Mario Series Mouser
Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic/Famicom Disk System/1987 (Japan)
Super Mario Bros. 2/NES/1988 (internationally)

A mutated mouse that throws bombs at you. The key to beating him down is to throw them right back. On SSS, if you release him as an Assist, he throws Bob-Ombs instead. You'd think he'd protect himself before engaging in such an inherently dangerous activity!
OoT Navi

SSB The Legend of Zelda Series Navi
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Nintendo 64/1998

In Ocarina of Time, Link apparently lives in a continuity in which everyone is assigned a fairy by the government. Young Link somehow didn't get a fairy in the Kokiri Forest, eventually leading the Great Deku Tree to produce this thing. Navi assists you with the then-new Z-Targeting gimmick and exists to give you advice in general; however, she is one of the more hated Nintendo characters due to her "Hey! Listen!" tic, which is seen as grating and annoying. To that effect, on SSS, unleash an unusually bitchy Navi from an Assist Trophy and she'll start getting her revenge by disrupting opponents with her constant cries of "Hey! Listen!" Maybe next time, video game "journalists" will actually put up with her!
Pooka

SSB Pac-Man Series Pooka
Dig Dug/arcade/1982

Briefly tried as a playable character on SSS, this little critter was only seen three times in 1973. However, as the first third-party character to debut, it's still an important piece of show history. It gets a second chance in SSS the Video Game as an Assist Trophy, doing pretty much what it does in its home game: swelling up like a balloon on people and exploding, and walking through walls.
Skull Kid

SSB The Legend of Zelda Series Skull Kid
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Nintendo 64/1998

"Lost" Hylians who apparently ran away from home and got caught up with the wrong crowd, Skull Kids are notorious pranksters. This particular Skull Kid comes from LZ: Majora's Mask and was apparently possessed by the mask to set the game's events in motion. Summon him from an Assist Trophy, and he'll do crazy things like reverse your controls, turn you invisible, or flip the stage upside down!
Snifit

SSB Mario Series Snifit
Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic/Famicom Disk System/1987 (Japan)
Super Mario Bros. 2/NES/1988 (internationally)

An upgraded Shy Guy that throws little bullets at you. Like most SMB2 enemies, you can pick this thing up and throw it at others, which ironically does more damage and knockback than the bullets. Mario physics, amirite?
ThwompNSMBU

SSB Mario Series Thwomp
Super Mario Bros. 3/NES/1990

These floating stone guys lead a simple life: whenever you pass under them, they'll try to crush you. On SSS, Thwomps are not just an Assist Trophy, but a stage hazard on Bowser's Castle as well. Kirby may also turn into a Thwomp if he uses his down special.

Whammy

SSB Special Stages Series The Whammy
Press Your Luck/TV series/1983

The "star" of a once-popular game show called Press Your Luck, whether the contestants liked it or not. His role was filled by devils on the show's predecessor, Second Chance. Land on him, and you lost all your money! Similarly on SSS, unleash him from an Assist Trophy, and he'll steal all an opponent's points in a Time match or coins in a Coin match. He's even deadlier in a Stock match, where he steals all but one of an opponent's lives instead; needless to say, he's extremely rare there!
