Water Slosh 	Neutral Special	"Fling out a giant blob of water from your parasol, that explodes on contact."	10% 	Flies straight forward for a little and then falls down. Explodes on contact with objects or others. Can be reflected.
Fast Slosh 	Custom 1 	"Can be used faster and has more range, but at the cost it deals less damage."	7.4% 	Similar to Water Slosh, but it travels almost as fast as Fox's Blaster.
Droplet Slosh 	Custom 2 	"Instead of sloshing one big blob of water, slosh tiny weak droplets instead."	0.3%x15=4.5% 	Doesn't cause opponents to flinch or get launched, but it has decent range and can be used in rapid succession.
Spear Throw 	Side Special 	"Toss a spear at opponents, can be charged for more range and spears." 	8.1% per spear (3 max) 	Charging it does not increase damage. Spears can be picked up and thrown when landing. The spears fly in a arch upwards and then down.
Bluster Spears 	Custom 1 	"Throw spears that travel at a fast rate and in a straight line." 	6.3% per spear (3 max) 	Spears cannot be picked up, unlike Spear Throw, but still can be reflected.

Beam Whip 	Up Special 	"Shoot out a line of energy upwards, that will latch onto ledges." 	3% 	Can be angled on where the beam will shoot. Bandana Waddle Dee can still act even if it doesn't latch onto a ledge. Deals damage if opponents touch the whip. Has barely any knockback.
Long Whip 	Custom 1 	"The whip reaches longer, but deals no damage." 	N/A 	Same as Beam Whip, but it can reach much farther.
Burst Whip 	Custom 2 	"Bursts in electrons when reaching max distance." 	8.4% 	Explosion causes massive hitstun, before launching. Has the same length as Beam Whip and can still be angled. Explosion still happens if a ledge is grabbed.
Parasol Shield 	Down Special 	"Swing your parasol in front of you, blocking all attacks. 	1.6% 	All attacks performed in front of Bandana Waddle Dee will be blocked.
Parasol Reflector	Custom 1 	"Instead of blocking attacks, reflect projectiles." 	Reflected projectile x2 	Melee attacks are not blocked.

Moveset 2
Name 	Type 	Description 	Damage 	Extra Details
Beam Blast 	Neutral Special	"Charge up a powerful blast of energy at opponents, dealing damage." 	5.2%-14% 	Charging it up increases power, range, speed, and width. Takes 3 seconds to fully charge. Charge can be stored by shielding.
Beam Laser 	Custom 1 	"Fire a fast and thin laser that deals damage to opponents." 	8.3% 	Cannot be charged, unlike the other variants.
Boom Blast 	Custom 2 	"Instead of energy, it is a blast of fire, more power, but less speed." 	7%-18.7% 	Same as Beam Blast, but it explodes on contact. Takes 5 seconds to fully charge. Can be stored by pressing shield.
Parasol Drill	Side Special 	"Rush forward, spinning your parasol like a drill." 	1.5%x8=10% 	Is a multi hit. Can be used multiple times in midair, as it propels Bandana Waddle Dee forward.
Drill Rocket 	Custom 1 	"Dash diagonally using your parasol as a drill." 	3.1%x4%=12.4%	Puts Bandana Waddle Dee into a helpless state. Functions similar to Wolf Flash, but is a multi hit rather than a single hit.
Parasol Grab 	Custom 2 	"Dash forward, but instead of hitting opponents grab them and toss them away." 	16% 	Ignores shields. Travels farther than Parasol Drill.
Waddle Copter	Up Special 	"Ascend into the air using your spear as helicopter." 	0.4%x20=8% 	Can be charged for more vertical distance. Can shift left or right while ascending. Will slowly descend after ascending. Does not put him into a helpless state, but the slow fall can be cancelled into an aerial, allowing him to use only aerials and air dodge.
Waddle Surge 	Custom 1 	"Rocket upwards at a fast pace moving left or right as you quickly ascend." 	6.4% 	Same as Waddle Copter, but it is a single hit and you cannot shift left or right as much because of how fast you ascend.
Waddle Glide 	Custom 2 	"Doesn't travel as far, but at the cost has increased air mobility while descending."	0.3%x20=6% 	Same as Waddle Copter, but it travels way less vertical distance, but when slowly falling more horizontal distance is granted. If it is cancelled by an aerial, Bandana Waddle Dee will lose the horizontal momentum.
Life Drink 	Down Special 	"Drink a nice an refreshing Life Drink that heals some of your damage." 	N/A 	Heals 25% of damage, but it can only be used every 2.5 minutes. It does not take time to heal.
