{{Infobox Special Move
The '''Peanut Popgun''' is [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong's]] [[Neutral B]] attack and is also his projectile weapon. The Peanut Popgun fires out peanuts 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|peanut]]. This 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. If you want to fire a fully charged peanut without stunning yourself, release the Special button as soon as Diddy grabs his hat.

The '''Peanut Popgun''' ({{ja|ピーナッツ・ポップガン|Pīnattsu Poppugan}}, ''Peanuts Popgun'') is [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[neutral special move]].
Peanut Popguns were Diddy's weapons of choice in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. He would wield two at once, although his shells didn't become peanuts once he hit his opponent.


==Overview==
A reflected peanut will be redirected downward based on how long the shot was charged.  
The Peanut Popgun fires out [[peanut]]s that fly in an arc as a [[projectile]] attack. 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. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', this has no other effect, but in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the explosion becomes a powerful attack. In ''Brawl'', the shelled peanuts shot out may break, dropping a small edible peanut, which will recover a small amount of damage when eaten, as well as making a "pop" sound.


The peanut shells fired from the popgun count as [[item]]s and thus can be caught and thrown back. Also, since they are items, the peanuts will take damage instead of following the laws of [[priority]]. If a peanut from the popgun takes 1% of damage, it will be destroyed, which can hinder its effectiveness as a projectile.
==Trophy Description==
''A unique firearm that only Diddy Kong can use. It's made of a chunk of wood and shoots peanuts. In Donkey Kong 64, he carried two pistols and could fire two shots at a time. In Smash Bros., the peanut ammo bursts out of its shells when fired. The peanuts can be grabbed and eaten to reduce damage. The longer the gun is charged before firing, the faster the peanuts fly.''


When the popgun is fully charged, Diddy Kong reaches up and grabs his hat, signaling when the player should fire to avoid overcharging. A fully charged shot from the Peanut Popgun does considerable damage (17% in ''Brawl'' and 12% in ''SSB4''), which can be useful for putting pressure on the opponent. The overcharged explosion does 23% damage and can KO at around 75% damage. 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]], [[sidestep]] or [[glide toss]] out of this move.

==Origin==
[[File:PeanutPopgunOrigin.jpg|thumb|175px|The Peanut Popguns in ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
Peanut Popguns were Diddy's weapons of choice in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''. He would wield two at once, although his shells didn't become peanuts once he hit his opponent. The weapon returns in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}'' and the subsequent ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'', where Diddy can shoot peanuts that bounce along the ground and disrupt weak enemies. No charging mechanic exists in any such game.
 
According to the ''{{s|mariowiki|DK Rap}}'' from ''Donkey Kong 64'', the game which the Peanut Popgun originated from, the weapons themselves were originally referred to as pistols; in the Beta version of that game, his Peanut Popguns appeared as metallic pistols.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:Popgun Explosion Distance Compare.png|thumb|The amount of darkening up close (top) and far away (bottom).]]
*According to the ''DK Rap'' from Donkey Kong 64, the game which the Peanut Popgun originated from, the weapons themselves were originally referred to as pistols.
*In ''Smash 4'', if Kirby overcharges the peanut gun and the game is paused, Kirby will appear normal colored instead of black. This only happens while the game is paused.
*Exploding Popgun is the only custom special move to be a challenge unlockable in both versions of ''SSB4''.
*In ''Ultimate'', the amount of darkening from the overcharge explosions changes based on distance from the camera, going from next to no darkening close up to heavy darkening far away.
*In ''Brawl'', the Peanut Popgun trophy states that they could fire two peanuts at a time in ''Donkey Kong 64'', which is not true.
