The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Monkey Flip (モンキーフリップ, Monkī Furippu) is Diddy Kong's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Diddy Kong leaps forward towards the enemy, latches onto their face, and will remain there until the player presses the attack or special button to deliver a single smack attack. As the move sends Diddy forward, it can be used as a recovery, and it can be used in conjunction with Rocketbarrel Boost, as it does not put Diddy into a helpless state afterwards. If the player attacks during Diddy's sideways momentum, Diddy sticks a foot out, and will kick the opponent instead of latching on. However, this kick prevents Diddy from using his triple jump. By pressing the jump button after latching onto an enemy, Diddy can jump onto the enemy's head and push them downwards, which performs a Footstool Jump. The Monkey Flip can also set up a Diddycide, although the Footstool Jump is almost always a strictly better option. Like Chomp, this attack can block Snake's recovery.
Monkey Flip is similar to Zero Suit Samus's Flip Jump in terms of function and effect.
Description from the Instruction Booklet
Leap at a foe and latch onto his or her head, then go to town with any attack button.
