Overview

Dr. Mario rears back and thrusts his palm forward, emitting electricity. It is incredibly powerful, KOing most lightweights before 80% when sweetspotted. Due to its electrical attribute, it is relatively safe on shield. However, it has a crucial flaw in its lack of range, which is further exacerbated by the sourspot's unfavorable placement on his hand, reaching further than the sweetspot located on his arm. As such, it can whiff easily and should not be used carelessly.
