An upward headbutt. It renders Dr. Mario's head intangible throughout its duration, quite similarly to Mario's. It also launches at a much lower angle than Mario's, 130°, which makes it better than Mario's in regard to starting combos when uncharged at low percentages, with its most notable follow-up being itself. This also makes it even more reliable at KOing near the edge, whereas Mario's can KO reliably from any part of a stage. It KOs middleweights at 119% while near the edge, and has the lowest amount of ending lag out of his smash attacks. This move has been notably buffed by updates as well.
