Details

A Battle and Bonus exclusive, the Gachabom is the missile that does everything. Can be thrown three ways, bounces when it hits walls, and returns to you after it deals damage. Keep your shots on target for continuous pressure!

See “Battle Mode” for more details on arena strategy.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • Staggered Gachabom shots can make for a fierce combo—it only takes a few to put someone on their Last Chance.
  • Gachabom shots and lobs inherit your momentum, just like Orbinauts and Bananas. Slow down for a shorter arc; speed up for a longer one.
  • Late to the Combat UFO? A preemptive shot can keep someone out of the tractor beam—then, lob the next one and catch the Power-Up as it falls to earth!
  • If your Item Box is already occupied, a returning Gachabom will orbit you until it’s clear.
  • Use sudden speed changes to make your opponent’s shot whiff, then punish them while their resources are exhausted.
  • When fighting in close quarters, Gachabom bounces can be as dangerous for the attacker as you.
  • Gachaboms don’t make for great rear-attack items, and they can’t be deployed as a shield. Attack from an angle!
  • The simplest solution: grab some Spheres, then E-Brake to reflect their shots with Guard!
