Attacks[edit]

  • The standard attack, almost always fast.

Standard Attack

  • For tilt and dash attacks (Hold down Neutral dpad/Neutral nunchuk/Neutral lstick/Neutral control in the direction that you tap- after you tap, hold it down to keep running, and then press 2 button/A button/A button/A button to execute a dash attack).

Tilt Attack

  • Having the same name of the game, smash attacks are powerful attacks that are very useful. They are not the more powerful of attacks for some characters, but they certainly have launching power. To execute a smash attack, you must press and hold down Neutral dpad/Neutral nunchuk/Neutral lstick/Neutral control and 2 button/A button/A button/A button simultaneously, or use 1 button+2 button/Neutral rstick/Neutral cstick.
