SSB Item Switch

The Item Switch, as it appears in Super Smash Bros.

The Item Switch is a menu in the Super Smash Bros. series where players can select what items they want or do not want to appear in a match.

Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros., players must unlock the Item Switch by playing 100 Versus Mode matches. The player can then select which items they want to appear in a match and how often they appear, from very low to very high. The player has no way to turn off container items, though, whether (s)he like it or not. One would be better off playing without items at all than be forced to use those fickle containers to get items.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Item Switch is in the game by default. Like in Super Smash Bros., players can select which items they do or do not want to appear in a match and how often they appear, from very low to very high. However, they have no way to turn off the container items such as capsules, barrels, and crates, whether they like it or not. Instead, they must turn off all the items to be rid of these items. Again, the player might as well never play with items, unless you like to play with those occasionally hazardous containers.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Item Switch returns once again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This time, it has an on/off switch for instantly turning all items off or on. However, players can no longer put items on very low or very high. Instead now they can only put them on None, Low, Med (Medium), or High. Another change is that one can now toggle the containers, so breaking open containers with an intrinsic risk of it exploding is a thing of the past, okay?
