Items are a very major part of the Super Smash Bros. matches and as such, they make returns in the new game with many new items. Their random nature and placing means anyone can get at them without it taking someone elses side and they can either use them to their advantage, or they can lose them. If not obtained in a short amount of time, they shall disappear so be prepared to get to them very quickly. Some Items are offensive, some heal, some are defensive so the best strategy is to incorporate them wisely into your current strategy and to not just go for any single item.
Should you wish to play without items or without specific items, you can change them in each ruleset
