This is kind of sad in some cases. I'd love more Metroid representation, but most of the "items" you can get in the game are merely power-ups to Samus' suit, and while one did cross over well, everything else is kind of left in the dust. However, if you paid close attention to early Smash Run videos, the Power Bomb is making an appearance, so there's more going on than face value here right now.
Well that's why you give them other things. F-Zero doesn't have any items. But they have a lot of characters that could be Assist Trophies. If we are only getting Goroh, that's pretty bad.
Or you make something up. Look at how they turned Olimar's ship, the Dolphin, into a bomb. Things might have trouble translating into items, but with some creativity, you can do it.
