Belly Super Armor's strength and utility comes from the attacks that make the best use of it; each attack uses the armor in a different way. Neutral aerial allows K. Rool to "flash" the armor when needed, while being one of the most non-committal moves he has. With this, he can use Belly Super Armor to absorb a single-hit hitbox such as a projectile, gaining monumental frame advantage to punish the opponent. This can also start combos or defend K. Rool when recovering, making it a very powerful attack. Dash attack serves a similar purpose to [[Wonderwing]], acting as an armored burst option to force his way through obstacle courses made by characters such as {{SSBU|Snake}}. However, while these attacks make K. Rool act more like a tank, moves such as up aerial serve more as defensive tools; in this case protecting him when trying to using the drift mechanics to recover. Down smash also serves as a defensive tool, hard punishing opponents for getting too comfy when pressuring him. Overall, Belly Super Armor serves multiple different purposes, and it all stems from the way his attacks utilize it. | Belly Super Armor's strength and utility comes from the attacks that make the best use of it; each attack uses the armor in a different way.

However, while a monumentally powerful tool, Belly Super Armor isn't without flaws. If K. Rool's armor takes enough damage, it will break, and the camera will [[Special Zoom]] on him as he is flung into the air on the spot and will become temporarily [[Stun|dizzy]], using [[shield]] | However, while a monumentally powerful tool, Belly Super Armor isn't without flaws. If K. Rool's armor takes enough damage, it will break, and the camera will [[Special Zoom]] on him as he is flung into the air on the spot and will become temporarily [[Stun|dizzy]], using [[shield break]] mechanics. If his armor is broken in midair, King K. Rool will slowly descend until he lands on a platform or stage base, while also being [[intangible]] thanks to shield break mechanics. These mechanics applying mean he can potentially be [[KO]]'d by having his armor break off-stage, or if he is pushed off during the descent. If the armor is broken and then K. Rool is hit, the armor will restore at full HP again, unlike shields which restore at half health. | ||
As with shields and other forms of armor, Belly Super Armor cannot block [[unblockable attack]]s, [[grab]]s or hit-grabs, such as {{SSBU|Terry}}'s [[Buster Wolf]]. Furthermore, Belly Super Armor specifically protects K. Rool's stomach, which means hitting him in the face or from behind is a viable countermeasure. Some projectiles, such as {{SSBU|Villager}}'s [[Villager (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]], are very well-suited to exploiting this weakness if aimed with precision. In addition, it is possible to simply muscle through the armor with multihit attacks, overriding the armor frames completely, and sometimes cancelling the attack entirely. However, this is a rare occurrence. Overall though, Belly Super Armor is a valuable aspect of King K. Rool's playstyle. | As with shields and other forms of armor, Belly Super Armor cannot block [[unblockable attack]]s, [[grab]]s or hit-grabs, such as {{SSBU|Terry}}'s [[Buster Wolf]].
