Item Info[]
Illumina Orbs were created by Professor Mirror during his investigation into the Illumina phenomenon in the Lental region. These orbs were created through studying the Crystabloom flowers which a young Pokemon photographer took photos of. When Illumina Orbs are thrown, they will cause any Pokemon or Crystabloom that they hit to glow a luminous color. This can then fill the Pokemon with a strange energy source and inspires new activity in them.
Item Usage[]
Illumina Orbs are used a bit differently in Smash compared to in New Pokemon Snap. In Smash, Illumina Orbs are not thrown and will instead have their effects immediately applied to the fighter that picked them up. Illumina Orbs can spawn in 6 different colors, each with their own effect, and have roughly equal chances to spawn. The different colors of Illumina Orbs and their effects are as follows:
- Blue Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their defense stat. This will make it harder for fighters to be launched into the air by granting them knockback resistance. Additionally their shields will be strengthened making it harder to break them and the timing required for a perfect shield will be more lenient.
- Yellow Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their jump stat. This will increase their jump height and falling speed. This affects their double jump and wall jumps in addition to normal jumping, but not their shorthops.
- Pink Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their special stat. This will increase the damage dealt from all special attacks. Additionally, some specials may gain a slight increase to their range or a shortened charge time.
- Green Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their speed stat. This will increase their walking speed, dashing speed, air speed, and air traction for a short time.
- Purple Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their arms stat. This will increase the strength of all projectile items, item attacks, healing items, and thrown items. Additionally, the fighter’s grabbing range will be increased and items that have a time duration on them will last longer. Finally, items that a fighter can be forced to drop will have increased resistance to being dropped.
- Gold Illumina Orbs - Fighters will receive a boost to their attack stat. This will increase the damage dealt from all normal attacks including tilts, dash attacks, aerial attacks, and smash attacks.
