'''F.L.U.D.D.''' ({{ja|ポンプ|Ponpu}}, ''Pump'') | '''F.L.U.D.D.''' ({{ja|ポンプ|Ponpu}}, ''Pump'') is [[Mario]]'s [[down special move]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', replacing [[Mario Tornado]]. | ||

Aesthetically, if Mario activates F.L.U.D.D., it lingers on his back for a while before disappearing, even if Mario gets [[Star KO]]'d or [[Screen KO]]'d. This feature is not present in ''Smash 4'' onward. | Aesthetically, if Mario activates F.L.U.D.D., it lingers on his back for a while before disappearing, even if Mario gets [[Star KO]]'d or [[Screen KO]]'d.

===Aqua | ===Aqua jump=== | ||
An aqua jump occurs when Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's [[Water Gun]] hits any jumping character just before they begin to lose momentum. This causes the jump to rapidly speed up and double in height. It is technically not so much of a technique as a misuse of the two aforementioned moves. | An aqua jump occurs when Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's [[Water Gun]] hits any jumping character just before they begin to lose momentum.

# '''F.L.U.D.D.''': Default. | # '''F.L.U.D.D.''': Default. | ||
# '''Scalding F.L.U.D.D.''': An offensive variant of the move. The spray has significantly less range, but it charges faster and does [[Flame|fire]] damage instead of [[push]]ing opponents while keeping them immobile for the duration of the move. Does 9% damage if all hits connect, regardless of charge, although fully charging the move increases its range. Does not kill until extreme percentages, but can lead to follow-ups. The move does not push Mario back as far, making it more punishable and worse for recovery. | # '''Scalding F.L.U.D.D.''': An offensive variant of the move.

# '''High-Pressure F.L.U.D.D.''': The push effect of the water is drastically stronger than the default, so much so that when uncharged, it is the same strength as the default move fully charged. At lower charge levels it has less range than the default, but fully charging the move gives it slightly more range than the default. In return, it takes nearly twice as long to fully charge and has roughly triple the recoil distance on the ground, as well as slightly more recoil in the air. Mario will aim the nozzle slightly downwards by default instead of straight ahead. | # '''High-Pressure F.L.U.D.D.''': The push effect of the water is drastically stronger than the default, so much so that when uncharged, it is the same strength as the default move fully charged.

F.L.U.D.D. made its debut as a character and Mario's companion in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}''.

At the beginning of his vacation on {{s|mariowiki|Isle Delfino}}, Mario encounters F.L.U.D.D. on the Delfino Airstrip after the plane that he, [[Princess Peach]], {{s|mariowiki|Toadsworth}}, and other accompanying [[Toad]]s were on makes a rough landing as the runway was blocked by a large [[supermariowiki:Graffiti|graffiti]] made of a strange, paint-like goop. After Mario washes away the goop and defeats the {{s|mariowiki|Gatekeeper}}, Mario and F.L.U.D.D. collect a {{s|mariowiki|Shine Sprite}}, but are wrongly arrested by two {{s|mariowiki|Pianta}} police officers and found guilty of polluting Isle Delfino with the graffiti which subsequently scattered the Shine Sprites. It is later revealed that the true culprit was [[Shadow Mario]], the shadowy counterpart of Mario who was actually [[Bowser Jr.]] in disguise who framed Mario to kidnap Princess Peach. | At the beginning of his vacation on {{s|mariowiki|Isle Delfino}}, Mario encounters F.L.U.D.D. on the Delfino Airstrip after the plane that he, [[Princess Peach]], {{s|mariowiki|Toadsworth}}, and other accompanying [[Toad]]s were on makes a rough landing as the runway was blocked by a large [[supermariowiki:Graffiti|graffiti]] made of a strange, paint-like goop.

After clearing the seventh episode of each area on Isle Delfino, [[Delfino Plaza]] is flooded by a surge of water from the base of {{s|mariowiki|Corona Mountain}} where [[Bowser]], and Bowser Jr. are relaxing in a hot tub at the top of the volcano, where Peach is with them. Mario and F.L.U.D.D. destroy the supporting platforms around the hot tub, leading for everyone present to plummet from the volcano. Mario and Peach land on an island just outside of Delfino Plaza, but F.L.U.D.D. was damaged by the fall and shuts down. Later, F.L.U.D.D. is repaired and carried to Mario and Peach by two Toads. | After clearing the seventh episode of each area on Isle Delfino, [[Delfino Plaza]] is flooded by a surge of water from the base of {{s|mariowiki|Corona Mountain}} where [[Bowser]], and Bowser Jr. are relaxing in a hot tub at the top of the volcano, where Peach is with them.

As Mario's main companion and equipment, F.L.U.D.D. is primarily used to shoot water from its nozzle. It can be used to wash away the goop, push away smaller enemies, and/or stun them momentarily. If the water tank is emptied, Mario is required to refill it using the nearest source of water. | As Mario's main companion and equipment, F.L.U.D.D. is primarily used to shoot water from its nozzle.
