Final Smash: Megaton Punch; Bandana Dee punches up to two targets in front of him (8%), and the targets are into a cutscene where Bandana Dee jumps high into the air, and then punches the ground as he falls back down.

- Bluster: Attacks are quicker and the attack power is multiplied by 1.2x, but with more endlag
- Sizzle: Targets could have a lingering fire effect that slowly raises damage, but Bandana Dee’s damage slowly rises the longer he’s left idle
- Splash: Bandana Dee is slower and so are his attacks, but the power is multiplied by 1.4x
- Zap: Attack power slowly increases with each combo (up to 1.5x), but Bandana Dee’s damage slowly rises little by little
