Pac-Man thrusts Inky above him in a two-hit fashion, launching opponents upwards. Like all of Pac-Man's other smash attacks, it is able to nullify oncoming projectiles. However, the move has high starting and ending lag, making it hard to hit and easy to punish. However, it is the fastest of Pac-Man's smash attacks, making it slightly safer to use than the other two.
