"The Special Flag doesn't even deal damage to other players."

...so what? The Gust Bellows doesn't deal damage, but it's still useful (but still annoying). The rocket belt, metal box, and the tanoki suit don't deal damage, and they all help the player (more or less). And of course, all healing items. Oh right, and the Boss Galaga and the Beetle don't deal damage either.
