Item Idea: Character-specific advantages and disadvantages...

[Endless Nightmares]

I just had an idea about items in Brawl...maybe certain items would have a positive or negative effect on certain characters. For example, if you get a Pokeball, and you hit a Pokemon character with it, they get trapped in the Pokeball! Or if you toss a red/green shell at Yoshi, he can swallow it like in Super Mario World. And heck, maybe he can get certain effects from the shell too like in SMW.

What do you think? I you have any other ideas to add, please post them

Too complicated. There is a possiblity that Brawl is going to have 30+ characters so to remember all of that is a hassle.

Interesting idea. Mario & Luigi could be gigantic with the Super Mushroom and Kirby could have a more powerful Warp Star. However, consider that Captain Falcon, Mr. G & W, Marth, Roy, and other characters did not have any related items in SSBM. So giving characters that are already too powerful special powers with certain items would be unfair.
