There are items that mainly keep the video game alive. Without these certain items, the video game would just suck.

The Most Useful Items in Video Games.

The VS. Seeker (Pokemon FR/LG, Pokemon D/P) - Okay in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, you are unable to vs battled trainers again leaving you to only battle the Elite Four and the Battle Tower. Boring. Well Nintendo added the VS Seeker to FR/LG and D/P which made Pokemon games freakin awesome. The ability to VS previously battled trainers is the reason why I like to play Diamond. It's like pick up vs a trainer and trun off your DS.

Sword (Legend of Zelda Series) Without the sowrd there won't be a Link, if there's no Link than Ganon will rule the world.

Time to list your useful items!

Hmm... I would have to web shooters in Spider-Man games.

Actually, I would say the Hookshot, ftw. Beastly stuff, ya know what?

[Takuya]

I would have to say
Hadouken , Shouryuuken (MMX Series)

[Sharon Daniel]

The SAIL!!!!!!

~Wind Waker

[Golden Chocobo]

Ratchet and Clank has some of the most handy stuff ever.
First off, the wrench! :O
Handy thing...

But I love the plasma whip and the scorpion flail most.
The Harbringer...

And of course, the RYNO. [Rip Ya a New One.]

But those are more weapons than items... Ah well. *shrug*
Handy item: Phoenix down

[Sharon Daniel]

Hmm...

Howabout... Transformation masks? From Majora's Mask. You can't do much without them.

Or better yet, the Ocarina of Time in Majora's Mask. Without it, the moon kills you.

Boomerang. Doesn't use ammo, and you can usually collect stuff with it.

Also, to beat ShadowTiger, the Gravity Gun. I've never played Half-Life 2(shame on me!) but it's awesome to turn anything not nailed down into a damage-causing projectile.

Oh, and grenades; when you can't shoot through a wall and the enemy is behind it, they become your best friends.

What about the Gale Boomerang.

[Octorockoncrack]

Corndogs! or else i would not be eating now!

All jokes aside (or atop!) I think the triforce is one of the most important items!

But i also agree with SD

When you get the gravity gun upgraded at the end of the game, you can pick up and throw people as well. Very fun.

1. Fire Wand (Neutopia) - I use this A LOT (even more than the sword) and it powers up as the hero gains more HP. I haven't collected any wands in the sequel, so I'm not sure if they have the same effect.

2. Screw Attack (Metroid series) - Do I need to say more?

3. Hypermode (Metroid Prime 3) - Anything Phazon-based is bound to kick arse. (NOTE: Not a spoiler)

4. Soul of Hachi (Advance Wars: Dual Strike) - You're able to deploy ground units in any city during Super CO Power. What's not to like about that?!

5. Blue Spiky Shell (Mario Kart series) - homes in on the lead player (and, in Double Dash, makes a powerful explosion, as well). It owns so bad in Double Dash, if you're lucky, you can probably catch 2 or 3 other racers in the explosion!

Or better yet, the Ocarina of Time in Majora's Mask. Without it, the moon kills you.

Ah, ya beat me to it. I was just thinking of that. That's an item that makes a difference between everyone in the world dying and everyone in the world not dying.

Earthbound - PSI Teleport α - Seems like nothing more than a convenience at first, until you realise you can get to places you couldn't before.

Cane of Byrna and the Roc's Cape from LTTP: You don't get hurt using them. With the Roc's Cape, you turn invisible (except for your shadow) and cannot get hurt by anything!
Final Fantasy: MEGALIXER!! It's an Elixer, only 4 times better (or 5 times better in FF4 Advance) Lifesaver in the Lunar Ruins boss battles (especially the 50th floor boss. That was evil).
Oh, and TriMaster: You CAN refight trainers in Ruby and Sapphire! You could even in Gold and Silver! (I remember that there was something that was a sort of early Poketech in R/S that had a mode that let you see what trainers wanted to fight again. G/S had the telephone and the defeated trainers asked you if you wanted their numbers).

[The Satellite]

I guess my real favorite item would be...

THE FIRE FLOWER!!!

*shot*

ERR I MEAN I really liked the hookshot, as well.

[Golden Chocobo]

Hookshot vs. Longshot vs. Clawshot vs. Double Clawshot. Heh.

The double clawshots were pretty shweet.
