Fan

A Fan, or Paper Fan, is a weak item that appears in the first three Super Smash Bros. games, Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Much like the more powerful Beam Sword, the Fan would replace many of its user's regular attacks with quick fan swipes if picked up. Although it does very little damage, its attacks are quick, and a smash attack almost destroy a fighter's shield entirely. If a fighter is hit by a thrown fan, they are launched straight up into the air.
