Soundwaves and music notes come out from its body and travel out a certain distance. All opponents within range and touching the ground will fall [[asleep]] for a short amount of time. This attack does no damage to playable characters and simply disables opponents to set up for attacks. (However, as [[enemies]] and [[boss]]es cannot be put to sleep, this move deals damage to them instead.) Similar to a grab, opponents can escape the sleep state more quickly by [[button mashing]] or rapidly moving the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]] (except in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'').

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', the more damage the opponent has, the longer they will remain asleep. However, in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the opponent remains asleep for a longer time if he/she bears a low [[damage]]. The time the opponent remains asleep is shortest when bearing any damage over 300%.

Unlike other up special moves, this is not a third jump since it gains no height. Instead, players often use [[Rollout]] or an [[air dodge]] as an extra jump, or simply use [[Pound]] for horizontal recovery. However, it does increase the size of Jigglypuff's ledge-grab box.

Timing of this move is crucial, as the duration of the sleep is short, so that opponents who fall asleep at the beginning may wake up before Jigglypuff finishes singing if they are at low damage. This will leave Jigglypuff very vulnerable to counter-attacks. Using the move in midair can shift this risk somewhat, by ensuring that opponents who fall asleep will do so closer to the middle of the move than at the beginning (so that they will not wake up before the move is over); however, this does not change the fact that the move has no effect on midair foes, and so Jigglypuff will still be vulnerable, only at the beginning of the move rather than at the end.

From ''Melee'' onward, Sing can be [[ledge]]-canceled, which greatly improves the utility of the move. If Sing is used when Jigglypuff is in midair over a ledge and an opponent is nearby, then the opponent will fall asleep at the beginning of the move, but then Jigglypuff will grab the ledge and the rest of the move will be canceled while the opponent is still asleep for the usual duration. This can be used to set up [[combo]]s.

Sing can be used in team battles very effectively by having Jigglypuff put enemies to sleep, then having its teammate use a fully charged [[smash attack]] or powerful special attack like [[Falcon Punch]] on the sleeping opponents.

# '''Hyper Voice''': An offensive variant, this move lasts about the same amount of time as Sing. Jigglypuff sings and sends three sound waves in intervals. The first sound wave inflicts 3% damage and causes the opponent to flinch. A small amount of time passes before the second sound wave occurs, dealing the same amount of damage. The third sound wave comes a moment after, and deals 5% damage, and causes considerable knockback. Jigglypuff is still vulnerable during this attack, as it is with its standard variation.

# '''Spinphony''': Startup is extremely slow, and the move is executed very slowly as well, due to having a frame speed multiplier of 2.0. Three slow sound waves emit at long intervals, and each flips the opponent, similar to Mario's [[Cape]]. The first sound wave doesn't damage opponents. The second sound wave inflicts 1% damage, and the third inflicts 2% damage. Jigglypuff is extremely vulnerable while using this move, and its slow execution makes it impractical to use. If used in the air, Jigglypuff will lock into the move, and can't be cancelled. Since it takes so long to execute, Jigglypuff can self-destruct by falling into the blast line, even from the top of the stage. Arguably one of the worst custom moves with it's only practical use to mess up someone's recovery.

Sing is based off a move of the same name in the {{uv|Pokémon}} games. Introduced in Generation I, Sing is a Normal-type status move that has the sole effect of putting the opponent to sleep. For some Pokémon like Jigglypuff and Blissey, this is the only move they can learn that puts the opponent to sleep, but Sing's very poor accuracy rate of 55% makes it unreliable.

In every ''Pokémon'' generation, Jigglypuff's evolutionary family are well known for using this move. A particular {{iw|bulbapedia|Jigglypuff|anime}} in the ''Pokémon'' anime is a recurring character of the early seasons who uses Sing to put people to sleep.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Hyper Voice|move}}, included in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as one of Sing's custom variants, is a Normal-type attack introduced in Generation III that can hit multiple opponents. Jigglypuff can also learn this move by leveling up.

*Although it does no damage, Sing can destroy targets in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'s'' [[Target Test]], and can also destroy [[capsule]]s in any mode. It can also be [[Counterattack|counter]]ed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward.

*In ''Smash 64'', if {{SSB|Pikachu}} uses [[Quick Attack]] horizontally towards a singing Jigglypuff, Pikachu will slide a great distance as it falls asleep. A similar thing happens when {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} uses [[Falcon Kick]] in ''Brawl'', with Jigglypuff not being damaged at all, though Falcon will slide a shorter distance. In ''Smash 4'', the same will also happen with {{SSB4|Charizard}} and [[Flare Blitz]].

*In ''Melee'', due to the [[Hoop damage|magnifying glass]] showing characters at a lower resolution and ignoring effects like eye blinks, Jigglypuff eyes will be open if it uses Sing in one.

**Jigglypuff's eyes are also open when looking at the reflection in [[Fountain of Dreams]], which similarly shows characters at a lower resolution.

*Sing is notably the only up special move that does not aid in [[recovery|recovering]] offstage, either from a [[tether]] or any sort of momentum boost. This technically makes Jigglypuff the only fighter who lacks an up special recovery move.
