The Top 7... inanimate objects

They're nothing without you

Words: GamesRadarBrettElston on April 7, 2008

It's only been around for a few months, but the Final Smash ball has already rocketed into the hearts and minds of gamers as a "must have" item. All alone, it does nothing but float around the level, teasing you with its unassuming appearance. But the moment it arrives, all four players immediately abandon their kicking, punching and scratching to be the lucky Brawler who breaks the ball - unleashing their deadly Final Smash in the process.

Brawl's one of the most popular games in existence right now, so millions of gamers around the world (sorry, Europe and Australia) are learning firsthand the impossible allure of the Final Smash ball. What an achievement, to only exist for a matter of weeks and become an immortal piece of gaming culture. Bravo!

Full circle: Unlike the Smash ball, Poke Balls have been around for years. And while the standard ball is easily found and not very special, several special balls have become indispensable to avid Poke-hunters.

Oh, the porn magazines, jesus that take me back. I rememeber putting them all over the ground, and then blowing up a gaurd. Another gaurd turned around "HUH? What's that noise?" He walks three steps, notices the magazine next to him, and completely ignores the fact that his buddy just rose to a higher plain of existence.

Hate the Companion Cube. My friend is obsessed with it. "It takes hits for you like a good friend would, you can use it as a step, and it will go anywhere with you without complaining." Thats his reasons why its awesome. But I think if it doesnt explode or shoot something then its useless to me.

only the completely useless items are any good. WCC is my favorite. i played portal multiple times just to use it for 10 minutes. but all of the other objects made a huge impact on my life too...

Ahh the smash ball, the "tide turner" of Brawl. There's no telling how many matches have been decided by who gets that precarious little orb.

You'd think with all the Mario sports games, kart racers, party games, and sequels to the main series that they couldn't have Kuribo's Shoe make a single reappearance.
