Donkey Kong using his floor recovery.

A floor attack is a form of floor recovery. When the attack button is pressed while a character lies on the ground, the character will simultaneously stand up and perform a weak attack that hits on both sides to create space. The attack used depends on whether the character is sitting, lying face up, or lying face down. In almost all cases, it does 5% or 6% damage.
