Items Mode

An all-new items mode is coming to Aether!

UPDATE: 11 more items just added, based on your suggestions!

To play, simply fill a character slot with this 'character', and set it as a CPU (higher difficulties mean more items). You can also set the background music (24 tracks total!) by changing its 'color'. (It has to be human temporarily to change color).

Items included (shown in the same order as the image above it):

Creature Card: Spawns a Creature of Aether to help you out! Watch out though; opponents can hurt it too! See creatures section further below for more info.
Healing Leaf: Heals 15%
Inertial Water: For the next 10 seconds, you have super armor when attacking. Collect 3 in one stock to become invincible for 15 seconds.
Flight Feather: Permanently raise your max number of double jumps by one this stock.
Rocky Club: Taunt to unleash a powerful killing blow! Deals extra damage when thrown as well.
Fire Bomb: Unleashes a growing fiery vortex.
Smoke Portal: Dodge or roll, then the next time you are hit you will instead reappear there. Hold the button instead to teleport instantly in that direction.
Volt Battery: Shoot up to 10 shots of stunning electricity, once per attack.
Mystery Vial: Throw its contents at opponents to send them flying!
Crazy Propeller: Spins in place, knocking enemies in a random direction. The more you spawn, the longer they last!


Magma Ax: Trade in your mobility for the strength of this ax that follows you around!
Cursed Root: Hit opponents in the air to spike them, or plant it to wrap them later.
Snowflake Burst: Waits 3 seconds, then freezes anyone on the ground.
Checkpoint Flag: Carry this for 15 seconds total in a single stock and die holding it to gain an extra life.
Gambler's Balloon: Pops and reveals another item. Watch out: the pop can hurt you too!
Steamy Whistle: Gain 1.5x knockback on each attack performed while holding this, and a permanent knockback increase for your first attack in this state.
Cancel Crystal: Bounces on the ground, and will make the player it hits unable to use items for 10 seconds.
Enchanting Round: Only flies horizontally when thrown, and carries players to the side blastzone.
Plasma Heart: Heals you to 0% if you are above 100%. You take half damage while holding it.
Sparkling Grenade: Will stun opponents for a few seconds, and teleport you to them. It will backfire if held too long.


Toxic Gas: Within a certain radius, all opponents will get fully poisoned and pushed back.
Bouncy Mushroom: Walks around the stage, bouncing anyone who lands on it upwards.
Snowball Snowball: Knocks enemies towards you, then returns to your hand. Each hit deals increasingly more damage!
Blue Meringue: Flies straight outward, then will accelerate towards you, hitting opponents along the way. Deals more damage the further away from you it is.
Skull Turret: Regularly fires projectiles, which become more dangerous the more damage you have.
Turbo Hourglass: Enables turbo mode and gives your moves extra stun and no knockback growth for 3 seconds. Hitting opponents will slightly increase this timer.
Clock Hand: Replaces your jab, ftilt, dash attack, and f strong with a sword-like swing. This swing is stronger every 5 seconds, or if you hit with the tipper (hitting with both insta-kills opponents over 100%!)
Hacker's Script: Explodes every idle item on stage one by one. Anyone hit by a blast, including you, will have some of their stats quasi-randomly changed for the rest of the match!
Gravity Magnet: Charge it up while holding it, then throw the magnet to enable both a horizontal float, as well as an incredibly strong fastfall that spikes!
Reversal Gear: It will be attracted to any nearby opponent, then will explode, reversing most knockback given to that person.

Available Creatures:


Florpian: Digs into the ground, then attacks opponents above it with its tail.
Firanha: Swims to the location of an enemy and chomps them.
Dripfly: Flies forward, then creates a vortex of water that pulls opponents in.
Nimbouse: Shoots a series of cloud puffs forward.

More to come (both items and creatures)! Let me know of any ideas you have! (I'm a sucker for synergy)



To use items, grab them with a tilt or aerial when you are nearby, then throw it by performing an airdodge or roll (the airdodge/roll itself will not come out). Note: there must be at least two active players for the match to not immediately end.

You can change the frequencies of individual items from the character select screen. Wait like 10 seconds to automatically pull up the item frequencies menu, then click at the right time to change an item's frequency. Waiting for like 5 seconds will move onto the next item. You can also practice with just a single item by setting this character as human instead of CPU, and then holding the special button down. Also, to turn off items altogether, set a CPU's difficulty to 1. Use high frequencies at your own risk!

Let me know of any bugs you find in the corresponding Discussion Thread! I tried to make it at least mildly balanced (items warn you before they spawn, hitting players has a chance of them dropping their item, etc.). I also plan on doing some quality-of-life/balance updates in the future, so if there are any unbalanced or annoying things I should be aware of, put them in the Balance Discussion Thread.
