Confirmed information

  • Neutral infinite, which now transitions into a Smash Punch.

  • Dash attack
  • Neutral air
  • Forward air

• The Thwomp of Stone now uses the design from New Super Mario Bros. Wii instead of Super Mario 64.
• Kirby's Hammer Flip (formerly known as Hammer) can now charge up and release a fire attack. Kirby can move around while charging it, and keeping it at full charge will deal recoil damage to Kirby, similarly to King Dedede's Jet Hammer.
• Kirby's Final Smash is now the Ultra Sword from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which hits multiple times and in a long range.
