Peanut Popgun: Difference between revisions

The '''Peanut Popgun''' (ピーナッツ・ポップガン ''Pīnattsu poppugan'') is [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong's]] [[neutral special]] attack and is also his projectile weapon. The Peanut Popgun fires out [[peanut]]s that hit the opponent. The player can boost the speed and lower the angle of the shot by holding down the button. If the player holds the button down too long, the Peanut Popgun will explode, briefly stunning Diddy Kong, but otherwise not dealing any damage. The shelled peanuts shot out may break, dropping a small edible [[peanut]], which will recover a small amount of damage when eaten. Interestingly, the Peanut shells fired from the popgun count as items and thus can be caught and thrown back. The Popgun is fully charged when Diddy reaches up and grabs his hat. In order to fire a fully charged peanut without stunning the player, release the special button as soon as Diddy grabs his hat. A fully charged shot from the Peanut Popgun does considerable damage (17% worth damage), which can be useful for putting pressure on the opponent. A reflected peanut will be redirected downward based on how long the shot was charged. Diddy can cancel the move by shielding and thus, roll, spot dodge or glide toss out of this move.
