Pikachu does a spinning break dance on the floor that can hit in front and back of itself. The front hit is very powerful, dealing 16% and very high horizontal knockback; KOing {{SSB|Mario}} at around 86% at the center of {{SSB|Dream Land}}. This makes it the strongest [[down smash]] in ''Smash 64'' by a considerable margin. The back hit however is noticeably weaker, only dealing 13% and not being able to KO Mario at the center of Dream Land until his is around 122%.

The main uses the move has is to punish rolls, as the duration of the two hits being able to intercept many roll options (like Mario's {{mvsub|Mario|SSB|down smash}}) and it can also be used to [[edgeguard]], especially since it is able to hit opponents hanging on the [[edge]].
