Here's another item to add to the ever-growing arsenal you'll be able to take advantage of in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, one that has its archaic roots tracing back to the days when cartoons were simple and comedy was all about somebody falling down or getting hit. It's slippery, it's yellow, it's the almighty Banana Peel.

Well, not actually that almighty - it doesn't blow up in a massive explosion or trap whoever steps on it into a dimension of pain and suffering, but the slipping animation it causes is pretty darn funny. Not to mention the victim looks pretty dazed during the aftermath.

It's comedy and humiliation in one neat yellow package - what's not to like?

With the list of items in Super Smash Brothers Brawl becoming more and more varied, the formidable Banana Peel is a welcome addition indeed. More updates about Super Smash Brothers Brawl as we get them, so stay tuned.
