Overview

Each of the duo swings their mallet overhead, happily bringing it down onto their target with great force. While its 11 frame startup is only decent compared to most of their kit, it's very quick for a forward smash, the 2nd fastest in the game, in fact.

Partner

The hitboxes have two possible X offsets depending on whether the partner is facing right or left (respectively), preventing issues with the Z-axis.
