Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Items

Normal Items
These are the items that may appear in any kind of brawl:

Bumper
Nine years have passed since Super Smash Bros. was released, and with SSBM some items were forgotten. Well, now is the time for all the ones who didn't have SSB to use this veteran item.

Capsule
Capsules may have an item inside or may explode when thrown.

CDs
CDs appear in every game mode, and add new music to be selected when taken. However, CDs don't stay around very long, so grab them once they appear.

Cracker Launcher
Another new addition, the Cracker Launcher shoots off fire crackers that explode. The Launcher can be aimed up and down for the best firing angle. This gun-item also has the ability for the user to walk around and jump while firing.

Crates and Barrels
The crates and barrels have appeared since the first Super Smash Bros. Barrels from all Smash Bros. have had various amounts of different items inside each. You can get the items by throwing the box or crate, beating it up, or pushing it off a higher area to a lower area. Some added features in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is that the basic box style changes for each level, so you can have space boxes in a Star Fox level, or have presents in a Yoshi's Island level. Another added feature in Brawl is that boxes will slide downhill.
