Assist characters come from Assist Trophies that appear on the stage, considering they are turned on. There are four types of assists: Offensive, which use they're powers to attack opponents, defensive, which will protect the player, item, which spawn items, and accidental, which may hurt the opponents as well as the one who summoned him/her. There are also assists that will do random events each time.
Default Assist Trophies[]
There are 10 default assists.

File:131px-KamekNSMBW.png | Kamek | Yoshi | Random | Once summoned, Kamek will fly on his broom to the top of the stage and will do one of three things: Cast a fire spell on opponents, conjur up a helpful item for the summoner, or create an earthquake that hurts everyone, even the summoner! |
Chilly | Kirby | Offensive | These icy enemies are now assists! Once summoned, Chilly will charge up and then unleash an Ice Storm attack with great range. This will freeze all opponents hit by it. | |
Jimmy T. | Wario | Random | Jimmy T. appears on a multicolored dance floor with his little kitten friends from Smooth Moves. Any opponents caught in Jimmy T.'s barrier will start dancing. He is a semi-common assist. | |
Doctor Eggman | Sonic the Hedgehog | Offensive | Eggman is a semi-rare assist. He appears in his Egg Car. He will float around the stage, firing missiles like crazy! The knockback the missiles cause to the opponents depends on the size of the missile. | |
Dixie Kong | Donkey Kong | Item | Dixie is a common assist. One summoned, Dixie will reach into the barrel next to her and start throwing out banana peels. These banana peels work just like the item, people slip on them. | |

Once in they're Arwings, they begin to rapidly shoot the stage from the background. Leon's shots are quick but deal less damage, and Pather's shots are slow but deal more damage. They are a rare assist. | |
