Propellerpack is King K. Rool's up special move.

Overview

When he uses the move, King K. Rool puts on a pack with a propeller attached to it, activates it, and starts to rise in the air. The move lasts a deceptively long time, and because the propeller has a hitbox, it can completely shrug off opponents who try to gimp K. Rool

Origin

This attack is based on the boss fight against K. Rool's alter ego, Baron K. Roolenstein, in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble!. In the fight, Dixie and Kiddie Kong must attack his pack with barrels in order to knock him into lightning that appears along the floor. The way K. Roolenstein flies around is mimicked by K. Rool in Ultimate - his helpless animation, for example, resembles the way K. Roolenstein flaps his hands in the air occasionally.
