Energy Tank

The Energy Tank (), or E-Tank for short, is a staple item of the series that appears in Super Smash Flash 2.
== Overview ==
The Energy Tank is the best recovery item in the game, surpassing by a huge margin the previous holder of that title, the Heart Container. This is because it is able to reduce the character's damage meter all the way down to 0%, no matter how high it is. When this item is grabbed, the character will hold it over its head, akin to using an Assist Trophy, until fully healed; naturally, the player is extremely vulnerable while healing, and one hit of any strength will cause the Energy Tank to be dropped and disappear. This means the more damage the character has to recover, the more time they will be vulnerable while healing. The design of Energy Tank in SSF2 comes from , its debut game.

It first appeared in Mega Man 2, and since then has been present in almost all games from the original Mega Man series. It fully recovers the health of the user, doing exactly the same in SSF2. Because of that, Energy Tanks are the second rarest and hardest item to be get, just after the more useful 1-Up.
