Sephiroth'sGigaflare is an example of a projectile.

Aprojectile is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it. A majority of characters in theSmash series have at some point used at least one projectile as part of their moveset, as well as manyitems andstage hazards utilizing projectiles.

Overview[edit]

An object is considered a projectile when it fully separates from a character and is no longer fully controllable by the player, but still has ahitbox. A rule of thumb is that projectiles are able to bereflected, with a majority of them also being able to beabsorbed. If a projectile is reflected, ownership is changed to the opponent and all cases where ownership is relevant now applies to said opponent. There are some fringe cases where an object that looks like a projectile is not in practice, likeSephiroth'sGigaflare stops being a projectile upon exploding, but these cases are few and far between. Projectiles can vary greatly in size, shape, speed, and interaction depending on its intended purpose.

The main purpose of a projectile is for long-range combat. A character with a projectile can attack opponents in a situation where they may not be able to attack back, giving a tangible advantage if the opponent is reckless. Projectiles are also great for applying pressure. In an effort to not be hit by a projectile, an opponent will either have toshield or dodge a specific way, both strategies carrying significant risks that can be exploited by a player well versed in matchup knowledge.

A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. If a character were to have a projectile attack, it is most likely theneutral special attack. It is generally considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile (with there being 13 characters who do not have a projectile), as these characters can be easily walled out and unable toapproach a player who runs away andcamps, making getting in close enough to actually deal damage a slow and risky process. they can be very useful in bothapproaching andcamping out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to takehitlag while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

As projectiles are (in general) consideredindirect attacks, the vast majority of enemies in theSubspace Emissary resist them outside of any weak points they may have — in fact, onlyPorky,Meta Ridley, andTabuu do not. Projectiles are also generallyspecial moves executed with thespecial move button, but some characters such asSnake,Olimar,Villager, andMega Man havestandard attacks that are projectiles.

Projectiles used by characters[edit]

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki byexpanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates:needs a list for items, stage hazards, and bosses

This table includes all non-Final Smash projectiles for every character, as well as some important properties of each. Note that, while a projectile may not be absorbable, that does not exclude the ability to bePocketed. Any character not listed has never been able to spawn a projectile under normal circumstances.

Character	Projectiles	Reflectable	Absorbable	Unique/Special Properties
Banjo &Kazooie	Egg Firing / Breegull Blaster
	Shock Spring Jump (aerial usage)
	Rear Egg			The explosions can be absorbed
Bayonetta	Bullet Climax			Chargeable, though that only affects the first two shots. Pressing the special move button repeatedly causes her to continue firing.
Bowser	Fire Breath			Size and length decreases as Bowser continues to breathe, and releasing the special move button causes the move to passively charge up over time
Bowser Jr.	Mechakoopa
	Abandon Ship!			The Clown Car becomes a projectile after being abandoned.
	Clown Cannon
Byleth	Failnaught		/	Only the max charged arrows can be absorbed.
Charizard	Flamethrower			Can be tilted up and down. Can be held forever, but fire length gradually decreases.
	Rock Smash fragments
Cloud	Blade Beam
Corrin	Dragon Fang Shot			Only the projectile attack can be absorbed. Can be charged to change size and damage.
Daisy	Toad			The spores produced on a successful counterattack are projectiles.
	Vegetable			Produces a vegetable item, and rarelyBob-ombs orMr. Saturns.
Dark Pit	Silver Bow			Chargeable and controllable. Can be held for a slightly limited time, and can be aimed up.
Dark Samus	Charge Shot			Follows straight trajectory; chargeable. Can be charged while on the ground or in midair. Fired at a lower elevation compared to Samus.
	Missile			Can fire a homing missile or super missile.
	Bomb			Detonates either instantly upon contact with an opponent or after a set period of time.
Diddy Kong	Peanut Popgun			Can be charged, which increases damage and speed while flattening the movement angle, but charging too much causes the move to fail. Can be grabbed and subsequently thrown as an item. The overcharge explosion inSSB4 cannot be reflected or absorbed.
	Banana Peel			Produces aBanana Peel.
	Rocketbarrel Boost (when the barrels come off)			Has a random trajectory. Cannot be shielded. The barrels explode when crashing into the stage, which can be absorbed inSSB4.
Dr. Mario	Megavitamins			Affected by gravity, and bounces on the ground.
Duck Hunt	Trick Shot			Can be launched higher and/or farther by pressing the special move button repeatedly. Explodes after a while, or if it hits an enemy. The explosion alone can be absorbed, but the hit right before it cannot.
	Clay Shooting			The clay pigeon is shot if the special move button is pressed, and the resulting explosion of the pigeon can be absorbed. If hit by an attack (including ones that normally would reflect projectiles), then it breaks automatically.
	Wild Gunman
Falco	Blaster			Follows a straight trajectory, and causes flinching. The lasers are also used in his back, up, and down throws, and can also be reflected and absorbed in said moves.
	Reflector			Considered a projectile inBrawl andSSB4. Reflectors do not affect the trajectory, but they will reflect the hitbox.
	Up throw (blaster)			The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles
	Back throw (blaster)			The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles
	Down throw (blaster)			The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles

	Razor Leaf			Goes farther if the control stick is flicked.
Joker	Eiha/Eigaon			A slow-moving projectile which does a small amount of damage when it connects, but deals continuous damage for a short amount of time. WithArsène active, the move becomes Eigaon, which covers more distance and travels faster. It also does more continuous damage.
	Grappling Hook			Reflectors will block the Grappling Hook, but will not harm Joker.
Kazuya	Devil Blaster			A long ranged projectile that can fire straight ahead, or it can be angled upward or downward.
	Up throw (laser)			The beam is identical to Kazuya'sDevil Blaster.

	Crownerang			Tries to return to King K. Rool. Grants King K. Rool damage based armor (12%) starting at frame 6 that lasts up until the move ends. Crown will always try travel in its general direction, and can't be stopped by other attacks, but it can still be reflected. If King K. Rool fails to catch the crown, it'll become an item that can be picked up by other players. The move can't be used again until King K. Rool retrieves the crown.
Kirby	Inhale (spit-out character and swallow)			The character turned into a star will be shot out of Kirby's mouth in a straight trajectory in front of him if he spits that character out. If he swallows a character, the star will appear behind him with the same properties but with much shorter range. If reflected and it hits Kirby, he will keep hiscopy ability, but the swallow animation will stop a few frames earlier.
	Final Cutter (shock wave)			Produces a wave after Kirby touches the ground, hugging it and following a straight trajectory.
	Maycopy another character'sneutral special projectile.
Link	Forward smash			Shoots a spinningSword Beam, which only comes out when Link is at 0% damage.
	Boomerang/Gale Boomerang			Tries to return to Link. Can be angled. InBrawl andSSB4, it produces awindbox effect on return.
	Bomb			Produces aBomb, which acts as an item. It explodes after seven seconds, and can deal self-damage.

Affected by gravity, and stops moving when it hits the ground. InUltimate, arrows dropped on the ground or attached to a wall become throwable items, and two arrows can be fired at once if Link uses his neutral special while holding an arrow.
	Remote Bomb			A bomb that bounces off opponents and has to be detonated by pressing down special again. Cannot be detonated when held or during special fall.
Lucario	Aura Sphere			Waves up and down slightly; moves perfectly straight when fully charged. Can be held indefinitely, which damages foes who touch the projectile.

	PK Thunder			Controllable.
Olimar	All smash attacks			All of Olimar's Pikmin attacks—namely, hissmash attacks, directionalaerials,grabs,throws,Pikmin Chain inBrawl, andPikmin Throw—are considered projectiles due to the Pikmin being the active object, not Olimar.
	Pikmin Throw
	All other Pikmin-based attacks
Pac-Man	Bonus Fruit			Effects change depending on the object thrown. All have ahurtbox which means they can take knockback.
	Fire Hydrant			Reflectable while airborne. Water produced by the hydrant is also reflectable.

	Elwind			Canmeteor smash opponents.
Rosalina	Luma Shot			When distanced, Luma can be called back.
	Star Bits	*	*	*Only the two custom variants are projectiles inSmash 4; the standard move is not, which means it is neither reflectable or absorbable. As ofUltimate, it is a projectile.
Ryu	Hadoken			A slow, blue energy projectile. Input Hadoken is larger and deals more damage. Shakunetsu Hadoken is orange, fiery, and deals multiple hits.
Samus	Charge Shot			Follows straight trajectory; chargeable. InSmash 64, it can go on for an infinite distance. FromMelee onward, it will disappear if it doesn't hit anything for a few seconds. InUltimate, the move can now be charged in midair, or be cancelled by jumping or air dodging, as with other chargeable moves.
	Missile			Can fire a homing missile or super missile.
	Bomb			Detonates either instantly upon contact with an opponent, or fromBrawl onward, after a set period of time. InSSB4, the explosion can be absorbed, but the hit right before it cannot.
Sephiroth	Flare / Megaflare / Gigaflare			A chargeable attack with three stages. The attack will travel less distance the longer the move has been charged, but on the upside, the move's power and the size of the explosion increases. While charging the move can be canceled with the jumping, shielding, or dodging, it does not store the current state of the charge.
	Shadow Flare			Characters who get hit by the initial beam will be circled by balls of darkness, which will attack them after a certain amount of time. Up to five balls can circle a character at a time, and charging the move will increase the number of shadow balls circling the player on hit.

	Vanish			Considered a projectile because the explosion and hitbox do not follow Sheik.
	Burst Grenade			Only the explosion can be absorbed.
Snake	Hand Grenade			Can be picked up, grenade itself does not cause flinching and can be tilted forward and backward (when tilted backwards it will fall next to Snake). Can also injure the user. Detonates after few seconds. Does not explode on contact.
	Remote Missile			Controllable. Shielding against it makes the user lose control of its trajectory.
	Cypher (once let go of)
	Up smash
	Down smash
	C4
	Taunt			Affected by gravity. Can be picked up by opponents (while Snake is still inside of it), though onlyDonkey Kong can move around while holding it.

	Timber (cut tree and woodchip)
Wario	Wario Bike (once dismounted, can be thrown)			Can be destroyed (resulting in two tires that can also be picked up and thrown inBrawl).
Wii Fit Trainer	Sun Salutation			Heals the user when fully charged. Has a weakwindbox and can be absorbed while it is being charged.
	Header			Heads a soccer ball at a downward angle. The ball can essentially be reflected by any attack (in some cases a reflector's hitbox will even take presidence over the reflecting effect itself). The headbutt acts as a melee attack that canmeteor smash.
Wolf	Blaster			Follows straight trajectory; acts as a melee attack in close ranges.
Yoshi	Egg Throw			Can be tilted forward, backward, up and down (when tilted backward the egg will go next to Yoshi). Holding down the special button will make the egg travel further.
	Yoshi Bomb (stars)
Young Link	Fire Bow			Can be charged, and held forever (three seconds inUltimate) before releasing. The charge affects the firing speed and distance.
	Boomerang			Tries to return to Young Link.
	Bomb			Produces a bomb item. Explode after some seconds. Can damage the user.
Zelda	Din's Fire			Reflectors cannot affect the projectile as it is traveling, but they will reflect the explosion.
	Phantom Slash
Zero Suit Samus	Paralyzer			Stuns opponent in place. Chargeable for a limited amount of time.
	Power Suit Pieces			Exclusive to her appearance inBrawl. Starts off the match with three throwable items from her discarded power suit. The armor pieces are very powerful if properly used as they deal high damage and knockback and synergize very well with Zero Suit Samus' longglide toss, granting her great stage control and allowing her to utilize them for combos, approaches, or even KO's if the opponent is at a high enough percent. Due to Zero Suit Samus becoming a separate character and no longer being connected to Samus in the later games, the armor pieces do not exist inSmash 4 orUltimate and therefore, cannot be utilized.

Projectiles generated by items[edit]

This table includes allitems that spawn a projectile, as well as some important properties of them. Note that, a projectile spawned by an item can still bepocketed even if it is notabsorbable, unless the item cannot be pocketed. Any item not listed here has never been able to spawn a projectile.

Item	Projectiles spawned	Reflectable	Absorbable	Unique/Special Properties
Allthrowable items	The item itself	/	/	When thrown, the item becomes a projectile. When aPoké Ball orMaster Ball is reflected, ownership of the Pokémon inside changes to thefighter who reflected it, and not the thrower. Some items explode when they come into contact with the ground or another fighter, and the explosions of some of these items can be absorbed fromSmash 4 onward.
Banana Gun	Banana			Contrary to its appearance, the explosion cannot be absorbed. The banana bullet will instead be reflected by moves that can both absorb and reflect projectiles, such asOil Panic.
	Banana Peel			Causes opponents totrip if they step on it.
Bullet Bill	The player			Transforms the user into aBullet Bill and launches them forward in a direction.
Cracker Launcher	Firecrackers			Firecrackers bounce off walls and explode when they come in contact with the floor or an opponent. The user can tilt the control stick to aim at different angles.
Drill	Drill head			Hits multiple times. Can get stuck in walls and will explode after a few seconds if that happens. Explosion can cause the fighter who fired the drill to take damage if they get caught in the explosion. Explosion can be absorbed.

Killer Eye	Lasers			Will fire more often if an opponent is in its line of vision.
Lip's Stick	Spores			Spores only spawn if aforward tilt orforward smash is used while holding this item.
Ore Club	Tornadoes			Tornadoes only spawn if a forward smash is used while holding this item. Charging increases the size of the tornado. The user hassuper armor while charging asmash attack.
Rage Blaster	Energy shots			Speed and power of the energy shots increases as the user’s damage increases (or HP decreases in Stamina mode).
Ramblin' Evil Mushroom	Spores			If enough spores hit afighter, their left and right controls will be reversed.
Ray Gun	Energy shots
Soccer Ball	The ball			If attacked, it will be launched in the direction of the knockback.
Staff	Laser beams			Deals more damage as the distance between the user and the opponent increases, and triggersSpecial Zoom if they are far enough apart.
Star Rod	Stars			Stars only spawn if a forward tilt or forward smash is used while holding this item.
Steel Diver	Torpedoes			Explosion can be absorbed.
Super Scope	Energy shots			Shots can be charged. A charged shot costs more ammo.
Superspicy Curry	Fireballs			The fighter who ate this cannotwalk slowly.

Projectiles generated byAssist Trophies[edit]

Note that any projectiles that are spawned by Assist Trophy characters are not able to bepocketed, even if they arereflectable.

Projectiles generated byPoké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Pokémon	Projectiles spawned	Reflectable	Absorbale	Unique/Special Properties
Blastoise	Hydro Pump			Pushes itself back every time it is used.
Bonsly	Tackle (when thrown as an item)			Can be thrown up to three times before dissappearing.
Charizard	Flamethrower

Electrode	Explosion			Can be thrown right before exploding. Explosion can be absorbed fromSmash 4 onward.
Fennekin	Incinerate			Fireball can only be absorbed if not grounded.
Genesect	Techno Beam
Kyogre	Hydro Pump

Projectiles spawned bystage hazards[edit]

This table includes all stage hazards that spawn a projectile. If a stage is not listed here, its stage hazards cannot spawn a projectile in any game it appears in.

Stage	Projectiles spawned	Reflectable	Absorbable	Unique/Special Properties
Corneria	Shots fromArwings,Wolfens, and theGreat Fox
Green Greens	Apples
Mario Bros.	Shellcreepers			Must be toppled over to be thrown as an item.
	Sidesteppers			Must be hit twice to be thrown as an item.
Pyrosphere	FG II-Graham shots			Lasers can damageRidley or other opponents.

Projectiles used bybosses andenemies[edit]

This table includes all bosses (and enemies) that spawn a projectile. Any boss (or enemy) not listed here has never had the ability to spawn a projectile in any game in the series that they have appeared in.

In competitive play[edit]

The only projectiles allowed in competitive matches are spawned by characters as part of their normal moveset, as banning those would effectively be banning the character entirely. Any projectile spawned by items or stages are effectively banned due to all items and stages where they are spawned being explicitly banned.
