Beyond the Gum is the default Special of the Yo-yo Type B sublcass. It is an unblockable, mid-ranged attack which transforms the opponent for a period of time, unable to attack, block or S-Burst. After pressing the Special button the user throws the weapon towards the target. All hit opponents turn into yellow poop for a moment. A meter bar is displayed but only visible for the opponent, depleting over time. The transformed state reminds of Gum Morphing but its different because player within it are neutralized and can only move, jump and dodge. S-Energy and health recovery are not increased. All attacks, Gum Shoots, Gum Ninjutsu, blocking with Gum Guard and S-Burst are disabled. 
Beyond the Gum can be used after the weapon is placed too. To place a weapon, the Wide Attack has to be performed but has to miss. The result is a disarmament of the player. The weapon stays at the placed position. The player can move, jump, dodge and use any Gum Bubble actions, but they can not attack normally, until they got their weapon back. To get the weapon back there are five options. The first and second are to input a Normal or Break Attack. As a result, the weapon returns and deals damage to all opponents in between. By pressing the Special button, the weapon activates the Beyond the Gum at the weapons placed position. It is an explosion, transforming surrounding opponents. The fourth option is to get hit by an attack and the last to use a Gum Ninjutsu. This way of performing the Special is faster but a Wide Attack needs to be performed first, which also needs to miss. 
Beyond the Gum is mid-ranged, unblockable and ignores Super Armor, so it is a great pressure tool, to close the distance and catch escaping opponents. But, its not a fast attack, so the timing needs to be considered more. The ignoring and disabling S-Burst property once the target is transformed makes it suitable as a follow-up attack. When going for the IPPON, it is important to note that transforming opponents in a Gum Bind state is not possible. So, if an opponent is already bound, Beyond the Gum misses.
Beyond the Gum ignores projectiles since its not a projectile itself. It can even immobilze transforming Gum Ninjutsu, which includes Punishing Blade, Shinobi Beast and Blast Barrier. Projectiles, including Gum Shoots, can be a threat because Beyond the Gum just ignores but not stops them. Attacks with invulnerability are dangerous too.

===Golden March ===
"Increase in size and charge, forcibly transforming any opponents that you hit." - In-game description

Golden March is the Alter Special of the Yo-yo Type B subclass. After pressing the Special button the user morphs into giant golden poop and charges towards the target. Just like its default Special Beyond the Gum, on hit this Special transforms the opponent into immobilized yellow poop for a short period of time. A meter bar is displayed but only visible for the opponent, depleting over time. The transformed state reminds of Gum Morphing but its different because player within it are neutralized and can only move, jump and dodge. S-Energy and health recovery are not increased. All attacks, Gum Shoots, Gum Ninjutsu, blocking with Gum Guard and S-Burst are disabled.
During Golden March the user is covered in Super Armor and automatically dashes forward in camera direction. This can be changed with the Left Stick . By inputting up the user moves forward, but thats already happening anyways, so nothing changes. But by pressing down the user does an U-turn as they try to turn around but still moves forward. With left and right, the user rotates accordingly. 
Golden March instantly transforms on touch, the user is covered in Super Armor and it is performed quickly. These conditions makes the Special perfect as an offensive pressure tool. Opponent's projectiles and Super Armor moves get ignored and the player directly gets carried to the opponent, transforming them, neutralized, opening a combo to get the knockout.
Users have to be careful against blocking opponents, and Gum Shoot as Golden March is not immune to Gum Damage. Unlike Beyond the Gum, this Special cannot handle blocking opponents. Transforming them doesn't work.
