Man.  This guy isn't too hot, at least not damage or speed-wise.  His standard Mirror Cut is the most powerful, but it has practically no range, making it tricky to use sometimes.  His dashing Mirror Body by contrast is the safest, but also not too strong.  Reflect Force '''hold''' {{ds|B}} isn't too strong, and can have dangerous duration as well--not normally your first priority.

However... Simirror can reflect projectiles with his guard and Reflect Force, so he excels in that regard.  In fact, that's the reason he's the only Helper (aside from Rocky, Plasma Wisp, and Tac) who can easily escape Computer Virus completely unscathed.

===Gim (Yo-yo)===
===Gim (Yo-yo)===
Like bomb, Yo-yo is mostly straightforward.  Just toss it in the direction of your enemy.  Break Spin is worthless against these bosses, but Gazer Spiral is a fantastic move.  It deals the most damage, and simply slaughters the airborne bosses (Kracko, Chameleo, and Wham Bam) that other abilities tend to have problems with.  It also makes Gim invincible, and can be used straight through Wham Bam's pounds.  His throw, Hammer Drop, is incredibly damaging and can make up for the weakness of Gim's other moves.  Although Gim's easy to use and can get good times, he won't be breaking records anytime soon.

===Capsule J2 (Jet)===
===Capsule J2 (Jet)===
Capsule J2 may not be a fan favorite, but he's a pretty decent boss-killer.  His fully-charged jet dash provides invincibility, does a good amount of damage, and is effective on just about everything.  His fully-charged throw is... bluntly... epic.  It covers a massive area and tosses the grabbed enemy a decent distance.  Even if it hit once, it would be powerful, but you can usually hit once on the loop and a a second time after you land.

Be warned, though: he can take damage right after the throw ends, so make sure the enemy is nowhere near where you start your throw.
 
Another powerful move he has is his Jet Cracker. When fully charged, it is his safest strong attack, and can wipe out bosses (if you use it efficently) in a matter of seconds.


Wham Bam Jewel is his only problematic opponent, and unfortunately you have to fight him twice (more or less), which is probably the only real reason he can't match the likes of Bonkers.  Still, his dash is effective enough to kill.  When Wham Bam gets low on health and starts attacking faster, jetting is a pretty fast way to escape being squashed, while also doing damage.

Though Rocky only has a single move, he's arguably one of the easiest characters to use, possibly even exceeding Bonkers.  Transforming into a stone makes him invincible to every attack, and stone-dropping onto a boss is one of the most powerful attacks in the game.

If you don't have the greatest aim, you might find yourself in a vulnerable position after a rock-drop.  The boss will often "stand" over you, which prevents you from changing back to normal without taking contact damage, which in turn requires you to wait for the boss to move out of the way.  For this reason, you probably won't be getting record times with Rocky.

There is an exception, though. If you slam down just slightly to the side of an enemy, you can turn back and attack again, even if the boss hasn't moved. This works wonders on Computer Virus and Meta Knight.
