So, there will now be a banana peel in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. :S I kind of think this interesting, as people could take this as a poor excuse for both a joke and a weapon; however, it could be good for stalling opponents. Still, it's not the weapon you would expect a Super Smash Bros. game to have.
Discuss the banana peel here.

Heh, I think you might get damaged even a little if you slip on the peel.

I guess it could be use as a lure weapon. Place it in front of you, the opponent jumps over it, then you do an Up-Smash attack. Well, it looked like Kirby slipped back when he stepped on it, so maybe placing it on ledges may make it the new Yoshi-Egg-Ledge-Death.

It works for Mario Kart.

The only reason found that update any better than a new stage or something was this picture.

One thing that wasn't clear--is it a peel immediately? Or do you get this item after eating a banana? If it were a banana peel right off the bat, then somebody could slip on it before it was grabbed and thrown... So perhaps it can be grabbed again and again?

Those screenshots from the site were hilarious to me. I like how the banana peel looks :D.

Heheh. I thought that pic was funny too. Kirby looks rather displeased...

I like how the banana peel looks too, but I hate how Kirby is just merely blinking at the banana that he slipped on.

He's not blinking, he's scowling.

"You're gonna slip! Trust me, you're gonna slip! ...See, you slipped!"

I don't see what the problem is here, so long as they don't take too many items from Mario Kart. I think it just starts out as a banana, but then you throw it for it to obtain peel status (could perhaps the banana heal you?).

I think its like in mario Kart. you toch the bannana peel and you lose control giving an opponent a chance to tahe the lead or this case beat you up until you gain control.

P.S. The picture looks like kirby ate to many bannanas

P.S.S. Will there be a cloaking bannana?

Thanks for the insight, cap'n.
P.S. Except he doesn't have the banana power.
P.S.S. It's P.P.S.

Kirby could never eat too many bananas. Actually, I would guess he could never eat too much of anything.
