Eggs (ラッキーのたまご,Lucky Egg), also referred to asChansey's Eggs, are container and tossableitems that appear inSuper Smash Bros.,Super Smash Bros. Melee, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Their functionality is similar tocapsules, but have a few differences from these items.
Operation[edit]
Spawning behaviour[edit]
InSmash 64, eggs can appear via randomly spawning or from the PokémonChansey. In the latter case, Chansey can appear from either aPoké Ball and spawn three eggs via Softboiled, or on theSaffron City stage, where it will spawn one egg. The egg's spawning behaviour, however, changed forMelee; while still appearing when Chansey is summoned from a Poké Ball, eggs now only randomly spawn on the game's threeYoshi-related stages (Yoshi's Island,Yoshi's Story, andthe past version of Yoshi's Island), as well as on theTrophy Tussle event matches. InUltimate, eggs only spawn from Chansey in Saffron City, like inSmash 64.
As a throwing item[edit]
Eggs are functionally similar to capsules, in that they are both items that contain a single item; both can be picked up and thrown, and both can be broken open via standard attacks. While the egg also has the chance to explode and inflict significant damage and knockback to opponents, the item's standard damage output is considerably less than that of the capsule.
As a recovery item[edit]
Eggs can potentially spawn as standard healing items, and their chances of spawning as this can be manipulated with theItem Switch; enabling onlyfood forces all Eggs to be healing items. Disabling recovery items, however, causes all Eggs to be throwing items. Heals 7% damage.
As a stage hazard[edit]
A unique form of eggs can be found inMushroom Kingdom II. The stage hazard ofBirdo sometimes spawns on the stage, after which she will sometimes shoot up to six eggs at players. While these eggs deal negligible knockback and damage to players, they become destructive weaponry when air grabbed; almost all of Birdo's eggs explode when thrown, very few of them actually produce items.
Unique to Birdo's Eggs is that they are displayed as two-dimensional sprites, identically to the character's appearance on the stage.

Trophy[edit]
- Egg
- Eggs are basically the same as Capsules, in that they'll release items when you break them open. They've been known to explode, too. The likelihood that certain items may be inside Eggs depends on the type of stage being played. Sometimes Eggs will contain health-replenishing food items; other times, they may hold weapons.

Origin[edit]
In the real world, eggs are an organic vessel in which a embryo develops until it can survive on its own; most animals, including all birds, reproduce by laying eggs. Bird eggs, which the eggs appearing inSuper Smash Bros. resemble, can be used as food by humans, who usually harvest them from domestic poultry. The use of eggs as container items inSmash may be inspired by the tradition ofeaster eggs, hollow chocolate eggs that contain a toy inside.
In thePokémon series, eggs are typically associated with the PokémonChansey starting with the originalPokémon Red & Blue. Chansey is recognizable by the large egg it carries in its pouch, which is said to have remarkable curative effects. Chansey is able to learn a few egg-based moves such asEgg Bomb andSoft-Boiled.Pokémon Gold & Silver introduced theLucky Egg, an item usually held by wild Chansey that increases the experience points earned in battle.Gold & Silver also introduced breeding mechanics and established Pokémon as egg-laying creatures, thoughPokémon eggs look different than the ones inSmash, with the games portraying them as pale with green spots and the anime giving the shell a pattern similar to the Pokémon contained inside. Pokémon eggs also cannot be used in battle.
InSuper Mario Bros. 2,Birdo will attack the player by shooting eggs from her mouth. To defeat her, the player is required to jump on the eggs, pick them up and throw them back at her.
Eggs are also a common motif in theYoshi series, which explains their appearance as items onYoshi stages replacing capsules. However, eggs inYoshi games have a distinctive design with colored spots.
