Talk:Item

Can someone rearrange the categories of items to fit the manual descriptions? "Other offensive items" does not exist. It should properly be:

• Containers
• Performance Items (Bunny Hood)
• Recovery Items (Maxim Tomato)
• Shooting Items (Super Scope)
• Battering Items (Parasol)
• Projectile Items (Freezie)

I may work on it a little later, but I'm not sure how the tables work. Fixed. Gargomon251 17:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Does anybody have an idea about where the Blast Box should go on this page? It looks like a Crate but there is no evidence that anything comes out of it so it can't go in the Container section. None of the other sections seem to fit either. Marcusmash 20:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm....it's sort of a Projectile Item, but does more damage if simply attacked....Maybe it should be under containers anyway, since it behaves like one, despite containing nothing....

Yeah, it's tough to figure out. The Dojo makes it seem like all you can do is attack it to make it explode. If it can be picked up and thrown then I guess it fits best in Projectile, but we have no evidence of that at this point. It isn't quite unique enough for its own category but it doesn't really fit in any of the existing ones, at least not until we get the game, play it, and learn some more about it.

OK, Blast Boxes can be thrown so I put them in the Projectile category. Marcusmash 04:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

A Blast Box should be put under the category of Container AND Projectile since its both. Zmario (talk) 17:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree that Smash Balls fit better as Performance Items. Also curious what people think about almost everything being plural in this article. I don't really think it is needed but we do need to decided on using plural or singular names for all items and being consistent. Marcusmash 21:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Makes no difference to me, I was just following the trend. - Gargomon251 21:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Organization

I notice the Brawl manual has different categories than the Melee one does. Which one do we use for all the games in general? I really dislike the Brawl sorting because some items like Combining and Gear only contain one or two items that could easily fit into one of the preestablished categories. Also I wonder if we should change Projectile Items to Throwing Items to more clearly differentiate between them and Shooting Items. - Gargomon251 20:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Sandbag

Sandbag should not be considered a container item simply because it can spawn items. It meets none of the other criteria shared by items in this category, and the game does not classify it as one. Zixor (talk) 00:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

This should be changed. Zixor (talk) 22:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

The sandbag is in the item switch. Because of that, I believe it is an item. Y462 (T • C • E ) 23:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
