Trophies are unlockable figures the player can find in the Super Smash Bros. series. They are unlocked through purchase, completion of certain event missions, or completion of the Classic, Adventure, or All-Star modes. In the world of Super Smash Bros., the trophies exist for only one reason: to fight. When fighters are returned to trophy state, they cannot fight; this state is similar to death. While this was only implied in Super Smash Bros. Melee, it has a bigger role in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary mode.
