Approved Items

Red Shell: I'm ok with this coming back; I just don't see why the red shell can come back but the more iconic green shell gets cut.

Fan: I'd love to see the fan back, actually.

Mr. Saturn: I find Mr. Saturn is more useful for breaking shields than for pushing off items I have an obvious dislike for.

Boss Galaga: No. Dragoon: Yes. Not the best item ever invented, but yes.

Poison Mushroom: Ok.

Bolt: Cool.

Super Mushroom: Ok.

Smash Ball: This item better come back. I enjoy this item too much.

Cloaking Device: I had a love hate relationship with this item. I loved that it made you invisible, but you couldn't see yourself. Something cannot be overpowered if you don't know how to control that power (EG: My Bayo is crap, but everyone else I know has a passible Bayo).

Flipper: I wouldn't mind this item coming back. It's a nice shout-out to Ballon Fight.

Rejected Items

POW Block: I'm just gonna chalk this up to personal bias and call it a day.

Smoke Ball: I actually agree with this one. It really is not that useful.

Super Leaf: See Plas' comments.

Blue Shell: I don't find the blue shell useless. Even if it misses (and it rarely does), it's a nice scare tactic and will allow you to plan your next move (or laugh at your opponent's suffering, take your pick).

Bumper: Seeing as it appeared in 64, got taken out in Melee, and then was readded in Brawl, I don't see this item being removed any time soon.

Green Shell: I don't see why this should be removed but the red shell can stay.

Fire Flower: I'm not sure I understand your argument for this one.

Cracker Launcher: Couldn't care less.

New Items

First of all, I find that there may be a little bit of bias towards the Mario series in this part.

Blooper: Interesting idea; could use some refinement, but still a good idea.

Mega Mushroom: A little too overpowered. This item pretty much turns someone into Giga Bowser.

Thunder Cloud: I actually like this idea. It's just a matter of how the person gets the thunder cloud in the first place.

Fake Item Block: This item would work as well as it does in Mario Kart.

Super Horn: As an item that can destroy approaching items, this may or may not be a good idea. However, this would not be the perfect replacement to the POW Block; the items are not similar enough for the Horn to be considered a replacement.

So yeah.
