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 75 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.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Item Switch in 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 cannot turn off the container items such as capsules, barrels, and crates. Instead, they must turn off all the items to be rid of these items.
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, Middle, or High.
