Super Smash Bros. For Wii U/3DS - Items That We Need In SSB4

Throughout the Smash franchise, items have been so useful at demolishing your enemies without doing much work. From Assist Trophies to Pokeballs, these items are fun, useful and down-right destructive. So, of course, SSB4 will HAVE to be jam-packed with items new and old. Returning items that have been announced so far include bumpers (with a new design), the previously mentioned Assist Trophies and Pokeballs, along with the devastatingly O.P. Home Run Bat. But what items should be included in the next entry? Read on as I browse the histories of Capcom, Nintendo and Sega to bring you Items I believe should be in SSB4.

Double Cherry - Super Mario 3D Land, Nintendo:
By acquiring this power-up in Nintendo's latest 3D Mario platformer, you split into 2+ clones of yourself, which you control at the same time. With this item available in Smash, you'd be able to do twice as much
damage to your opponents (or quadruple damage if you choose a Power character like Bowser or Little Mac). There would be extreme chaos on the battlefield and whoever holds this item would yield an amazing advantage over the competition.

Chaos Emeralds - Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise, SEGA:
Much similar to the Invincibility Star in Super Mario Bros., the Chaos Emeralds would grant the user extreme power, making them virtually invincible. The reason I chose the Chaos Emeralds over the Invincibilty Star is very simple: in order for them to work in Smash, they'd have to be like the Dragoon from Brawl and you'll have to collect all the pieces as the battle progresses.

Energy Tank - Mega Man Franchise, Capcom:
The Energy Tank would be very similar to the food items from Brawl: it would replenish your health. It's a simple item but it would make an awesome cameo.

Boomerang Bro Suit - Super Mario Franchise, Nintendo:
This item I liked in Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo 3DS. What you get is the ability for you to throw boomerangs and they return. It sounds simple but you have to realize that with this suit on, all enemies, singular or multiple, go down in one hit. This suit would be incredibly over-powered, making it perfect for Smash.

T-Virus - Resident Evil Franchise, Capcom:
I realize this probably won't make the cut but listen: having the ability to become the undead would be amazing. Your character would have a power increase but have a higher chance of getting knocked off-screen. Plus, you can infect your opponents and if you can infect all four, you get your health regenerated. Again, slim chance of making it but hey, if Solid Snake was able to get in Brawl, this idea is probably not as crazy as it sounds.

Wisps - Sonic Colors/Sonic Lost World, SEGA:
Introduced in Sonic Colors, the Wisps grant Sonic special abilities such as propelling like a rocket, digging into the ground like a drill, etc. If these abilities were granted available use in Smash 4, then there would be some insanity. Plus, they could power up your characters Final Smash to make an Ultra Smash. I hope you're reading this, Nintendo.

Portal Gun - Portal Franchise, Valve:
This is just a crazy idea. I realized Nintendo won't really want anymore third-party content in SSB4 but when you think about it, the Portal Gun would be an amazing cameo item. It would still carry it's functions of making an orange and blue portal and picking up items but it would carry a new ability: Firing objects at enemies much like the Zero-Gravity Gun from Half-Life. Plus, Valve hasn't put out anything since Portal 2, I believe. At least use it as an acknowledgement to gamers who want their HALF-LIFE 3.

Golden Guns - Goldeneye 007 '64, Rare Entertainment:
I previously mentioned that I believe James Bond should make a spot in the SSB4 roster because of the success of his entry on Nintendo's hit console. I know that probably won't happen but they should recognize Rare and heir success with the infamous golden guns from the hit game. Just saying. I mean, they game is jam-packed with nostalgia so why not put this on the list for nostalgia puposes?

There you go! My list of items I think deserve to be in SSB4! Please Comment down below on what items you'd like to see in the next Brawl!

And As Always, Gamers of the Nations, RAGE ON! And I'll See You Next Time :)
