Smart Bomb
This familiar item is from the Star Fox series. Those who have played those games can imagine how this bomb explodes.
Throw the Smart Bomb, Fox!
Don’t get caught in the explosion, Fox!
Hurry, Fox! Run!
This fearsome item practically covers entire stages in a massive, engulfing explosion. It’s best to try to use it in a spot that leaves few places for enemies to flee. Or something like that.
It does seem that they occasionally fail to explode. You might throw it, only to watch it not detonate. In those cases, you’ll want to be careful, because you never know when it might go off.
Speaking of duds, certain Pokémon that explode also sometimes fail to detonate.
Pssssssst.

Training
If you brawl for a long time, there is one thing you will definitely start to think: "What can I do that will help me be able to win?"
For that, I’ve implemented a training mode to help you get to know the characters.
At first glance, nothing about this screen seems unusual.
Bothersome displays are hidden at first. The settings screen appears when you pause the game.
Oh! There it is!
You can produce lots of items.
You can put in three computer opponents, and jack their damage meters way up.
And you can see how much damage different combos do.
You can even put it in slow motion.
(But...you can’t tell that from a screen shot.)
You need to know the moves, whether you’re trying to hit with them or avoid them—this is especially true of Final Smashes.
This mode is particularly helpful with that.
