Barrel



A Barrel is an item that has appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Overview
Barrels are containers which can hold various different items. When you pick up a barrel, because they are so heavy, you will not be able to jump, attack, and you will move very slowly while holding it. After you have picked up a barrel, you can throw it up, forward, or down. If you tap "a" near one, it will roll across the stage. Interestingly, Donkey Kong can not throw barrels below him.

Barrels may contain an enemy, such as a ReDead or an Octorok. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18 to 22% damage and good knockback. When they explode once they have hit an opponent, they can deal around 45% damage and strong knockback.
