You enter the big room and notice Ness. "You seem to be learning well. Now I think is the time you learn about the items we end up using."
Ness moves out of the way so that you can see a chart. It has all of the battle items listed that are used.
Item | Description | Affect |
Barrel | This isn't the Barrel Cannon, but the Donkey Kong Country barrel you pick up and throw. Attacking it is also possible; it can yield either an item or a surprise. | -15 damage (thrown) -40 damage (fake) |
Baseball Bat | Ness has a weaker copy from Earthbound, but this one is the real deal. Smash Attack the bat and get a high d20 roll for a home run! | -10 damage (possible kill) |
Beam Sword | Whlie NOT from Star Wars, this beam sword is a very powerful clobbering item. Good luck keeping it: enemies want it for their own use! | -20 damage |
Bob-omb | Super Mario Bros. 2 had this beaut, and what a beaut it was! Get it quickly and throw it if you don't want it to blow in your face! | -40 damage/self |
Bunny Hood | One of Majora's Mask's 24 or so masks, this one increases both speed and jumping height a good deal! Just be careful about stopping... | +5 dodge bonus |
Cloaker | Perfect Dark is my guess for the origin. Enemies can't see you as well as they used to, and any damage dealt to you will be reduced to nothing! However, the effects of the moves aren't protected by the cloaker... | 2 round invisibility No damage |
Crate | This big box contains between from 1-3 items inside. Just pray that it's not a fake one and you should be fine. | -15 damage (thrown) -40 damage (fake) |
Egg | Either found alone or tossed out in bunches by Chansey, eggs can be very small, but still pack either a big item or a whallop. Don't let them scramble you! | -5 damage (thrown) -40 damage (fake) |
Fan | From Super Mario RPG, this fan is weak on the outset, but with a lucky d20 & d5 roll, the enemy will be stunned for a round and not attack. | -5 damage |
Fire Flower | From Super Mario Bros., this item has been used and abused in the past. While it can't be used as much now, it can still deal a quick punch. 5 d20 is the roll for shooting fire; d20 for tossing the flower away. | -3 * X damage (fireballs) -10 damage (thrown) |
Food | Thank Kirby 64 for these delectable delights. Unfortunately, you don't heal much after chowing down. | +1 to 10 health |
Freezie | This one comes from Mario Bros. I believe. Catch it and you can toss it to someone, possibly freezing them! Miss, though, and you will be frozen yourself. | 1 round stun |
Hammer | Donkey Kong's hammer does powerful damage at a price. If it's the genuine article, you deal powerful damage, but can only jump once. If it's fake... | -30 damage |
Heart Container | The Legend of Zelda games had these heart containers that fill up health, along with adding an extra heart container. Getting one will not only fill your health, but add 10 HP to your total HP. These are usually only found at the end of missions. | +all health (+10 total) |
Lip's Stick | This item's native game is unknown, but it has a similar affect to being poisoned. If this lands on someone's head, expect damage to be taken away without mercy. | -10 damage (3 rounds) |
Metal Box | Super Mario 64 allowed you to become metalically invincible. While the invinsibility is gone, stats do benefit you...though you are as heavy as metal. | * 2 physical offense * 2 defense -3 dodge bonus |
Mine | Some say this is from Goldeneye, while others say Perfect Dark. Reguardless, this item can literally blow you away. Tossing it does little damage, but triggering the explosive will send you out of here! | -5 damage (thrown) -40 damage (explosion) |
Mr. Saturn | This wierd creature from Earthbound doesn't do much in the sense of attacking. Rather, he is better at collecting all unused items. Don't let him take away important stuff! | -5 damage |
Parasol | Kirby's games have this item many times, and Peach has a weaker version of it as a move! It not only does damage, but slows your descent a bit. | -10 damage |
Party Ball | This ball can't attack anyone, but can release items if provoked. Use the opportunity to grab quickly! | items drop (1 round delay) |
Pill | The viruses in Dr. Mario hated them, and you will too if they explode in your face! They are basically the same as the egg. | -5 damage (thrown) -40 damage (fake) |
Poison Mushroom | You will become SO small from this "Lost Levels" item, that you can move much faster than normal! Unfortuantely, your offense suffers. | 1/2 offensive power +5 to dodge bonus |
Pokéball | From Pokémon (natch), this item gets its own subsection! Throwing it is simple...it's the pokémon that comes out that causes trouble! | -10 damage (pokéball) |
Ray Gun | This toy-type gun doesn't do much damage, but up to three shots can be fired at once (3 d20). Only 12 shots are in the gun; after that, it must be thrown. | -5 * X damage (shots) -10 damage (thrown) |
Screw Ball | The Metroid games has this item used as an offensive jump. The Screw Ball ITEM, though, is used as a defensive move that does damage and keeps them in the air for the duration of the round. | -10 damage 1 round stun |
Shell | While the Red Shell didn't survive as an item, the Green Shell from Super Mario Bros. did. Save it for the right moment, and toss away! | -15 damage |
Starman | Unlike Super Mario Bros, just touching the enemy won't damage them. However, you can survive one round without damage whatsoever. | 1 round invincibility |
Star Rod | This versatile item from Kirby's Adventure hurts 2 ways. It can either hurt you with the wand, or hurt you with the stars it shoots. Most only shoot one; some shoot more. | -15 damage (clobber) -10 damage (star) |
Super Mushroom | This item from Super Mario Bros. affects you indirectly. You will grow into a giant with extra offensive power. However, you will be a little on the slow side. | +10 offensive power -1 dodge bonus |
Super Scope | Approximately SIXTY shots are found in this SNES Accessory. Choose multi fire and roll an extra d10 to determine damage, or charge up for a round to blow opponents away! | -2 * X damage (uncharged) -50 damage (charged) |
Tomato | Kirby loved these from his games, and you will too. Get healed 50 HP if you grab it in time. | +50 health |
