Also Brawl features two Zelda songs, a medley featuring several songs from Ocarina of Time, including the Lon Lon Ranch theme/Epona's Song, Bolero of Fire, Song of Time, Zelda's Lullaby and Saria's Song and a remix of the Great Temple song from Zelda II.

Returning Items

 * Beam Sword

The 'Beam Sword' is an item from the Super Smash Bros. series. It has been changed, in some way, in each release. In the original game, it was stronger than the sword that appeared in the sequel; along with the strength change, in Melee, the length of the sword was proportional to each character. In the first two games the beam sword appeared with a pinkish-purple color, but in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the sword now appears with a blue color.


 * Bob-omb


 * Bumper

An item that was only in the original Smash Bros. returns in brawl. Like the ones in a pinball game, anything that goes near it will be hit/bounced off into another direction. Also, unlike the original version, this item can be placed in mid-air which can make sure that when someone falls off the edge, they can't get back up.


 * Bunny Hood


 * Crates and Barrels

Crates and Barrels are items in the Super Smash Bros. series. When broken, many items tumble out of them. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, crates and barrels adjust to the theme of the stage. A new type of Crate called the Sliding Box was also added to the game.

 * Heart Container


 * Home-Run Bat

This item can cause a one-hit KO, regardless of the opponents damage, making it one of the most powerful weapons in the game. In Super Smash Bros Brawl, each character has a unique batting stance.


 * Lip's Stick

This item, from the Japan-only game Panel de Pon'. When used on an opponent, it cuases a flower to grow on their head. The flower causes damage to the opponent over time, until it dissapears.

This istem has not yet been officially confirmed to be in the game, but it will likely return. First appearing in Super Mario 64, this item turns the player metal, increasing their inertia, making it more difficult to knock them off the stage. However, the player also falls much faster.
 * Metal Box
 * Mr. Saturn

Mr. Saturn are small alien characters from the Mother Series. In Super Smash Bros. They are throwable items that cause minimal damage.


 * Party Ball

This is a large pinata like ball that when struck or thrown, rises into the air and breaks open, releasing various items.

The Poké Ball is an item in the Pokémon series that has appeared in every Super Smash Bros. game to date. When thrown, a Pokemon emerges from it, and either attacks, supplies items, or does nothing.


 * Screw Attack

The Screw Attack is an ability used by Samus is a number of the Metroid video games series and an obtainable item in Super Smash Bros. Melee and the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It enables the user to spin upwards damaging anyone or anything in it's path.
 * Super Mushroom

The Super Mushroom is used as an item from the Mario series. When obtained, the Mushroom makes the player grow to an enormous size. This size increase makes the players attacks more damaging, and more difficult to defeat, however, it also makes them a large target.


 * Super Scope

The Super Scope was originally a peripheral controller used for certain games on the Super Nintendo console. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it became a weapon. It can be sfire rapid shots of light, or can be charged up for a few larger, more damaging blasts.

New Items

 * Banana Peel

The player throws this item onto the battle field, and if another player runs over it, then they will slip on it, and land hard, causing them damage.


 * Cracker Launcher

When picked up, it begins rapidly shooting out fireworks. It can be aimed with the analog stick, and, as with all rapid-fire items in the game, can be walked and jumped around with while shooting.


 * Franklin Badge

The Franklin Badge is an item from the Mother series. It is a very small item that, when worn, protects the wearer from all projectile attacks. The Franklin Badge does not stay on for the entirety of the match, and it is unknown if it can be picked up again when it falls off.


 * Gooey Bomb

The Gooey Bomb is similar to the Motion-Sensing Bomb in that it sticks to the ground. However, this item can also stick to people and, instead of being activated by motion, is on a timer. When a player with a Gooey Bomb attached to him or her touches another player, the Gooey Bomb may be passed on to that player.


 * The Golden Hammer

The Golden Hammer is similar the to the hammer that appeared in the first two games of the Super Smash Bros. series. Unlike the regular hammer, the Golden Hammer is stronger and faster and has an added ability which allows you to float in mid-air. Similar to how the regular hammer can lose its head, the Golden Hammer will occasionally lose its power and make a squeaking noise when you hit an opponent. The Golden Hammer may be related to the hammer found in the Mario game, Wrecking Crew. The shared ability to float in midair and the fact that both appear on a pedestal further proves this.


 * The Pitfall

The Pitfall (or Pitfall seed) originally came from the Animal Crossing series. It is a prank item which when buried can be used as a trap. It causes players to fall through the platform on which it has been used.


 * The Sliding Crate

The Sliding Crate is nearly identical to the Crate, with the exception that it is on wheels and will begin to move once it is contacted. It takes on different appearances, depending on the stage.


 * Smash Ball

A Smash Ball is an an item that must be broken open in order to execute a super move known as a Final Smash.


 * Smoke Ball

The Smoke Ball, when thrown, releases a cloud of multi-colored smoke that obscures the view of the players. It appears to have no other adverse effects, since it cannot hit the players, and therefore can do no damage.


 * Superspicy Curry

Superspicy Curry is an item from the Kirby series. It will appear in the upcoming Wii game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After consuming this, all of your attacks and movements will gain a fiery effect.
