'''Belly Super Armor''' is  [[King K. Rool]]’s [[fighter ability]]. During attacks where his belly sticks out, his gold-plated stomach armor grants [[super armor]]. Despite King K. Rool always wearing this piece of armor, Belly Super Armor is not active when idle or during attacks that do not involve King K. Rool expanding his stomach. As such, it is never active unless he executes certain attacks, such as his infamous [[forward tilt]]. While the Belly Super Armor is inactive, it will not take damage and K. Rool will be hit as normal. Attacks that hit K. Rool's Belly Super Armor make a loud, distinct clanging sound as an audio cue.

Rool's armor blocks an attack that triggers a [[special zoom]], the attack will be blocked as normal, but the zoom occurs as normal.  


Unlike most forms of armor, K. Rool's belly armor actually reduces the damage K. Rool takes from attacks, cutting the damage in half. However, as with [[shield]]s, King K. Rool's Belly Super Armor can only withstand a certain amount of damage: the amount of damage it has taken is roughly visible as a crack in his belly. Small cracks appear when the armor has 11.5 HP left, and large cracks appearing when it has 6.1 HP left. If his armor takes enough damage, the camera will [[Special Zoom]] on King K. Rool as he is flung into the air on the spot and will become temporarily [[Stun|dizzy]], similar to a [[shield break]]. If his armor is broken in midair, King K. Rool will slowly descend until he lands on a platform, meaning he can potentially be [[KO]]'d by having his armor break off-stage. As with shields, Belly Super Armor cannot block [[unblockable attack]]s or [[grab]]s.
