Rocket Raccoon

==How Rocket Raccoon joined the Tourney==
Kuma's first attempt to steal Gideon's Bible, decipher its secrets, and turn them to profit was stopped by the Hulk, aiding Halfworld's chief law officer, Ranger Rocket Raccoon. The book was recovered, but not before Pyko secretly translated it and returned the Hulk to Earth.
Kuma's "Mayhem Makaniks" encountered its first competition when the serpentine Lord Dyvyne organized "Dyvynities, Inc." and forced Kuma from Spacewheel. Kuma retreated underground and a Toy War ensued. Both coveted the otter Lylla, who was legal heir to the toy empire and romantically involved with Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket Raccoon opposed Kuma and Dyvyne and tried to end the war. The two joined forces in a mutual attempt to kill him, even as Pyko joined Rocket. Pyko, Lylla, Rocket, and his first mate, Wal Russ, took Gideon's Bible to the robots and presented it to the Head Robot, who combined the information contained in the volume with the robots' advanced technology to create helmets that would cure the Loonies. The four animals distributed the helmets. A last assault by Kuma and Dyvyne was narrowly foiled by the animals, the robots, and the newly aware humanoids, all in the Smash Bros. Tourney.
==Special Attacks==
===Spitfire Twice (Neutral)===

===Upward Wild Ripper (Up)===
Rocket Raccoon quickly dashes upward at a 45 degree angle for an attack.

===Rock and Roll (Hyper Smash)===
Rocket pulls out a large Gatling gun, says "Now let's...", and fires at the opponent while saying "ROCK AND ROLL!!!!". He then pulls out another gun that fires a large plasma sphere, which tracks the opponent as Rocket says "Eat THIS!".
===Rocky Raccoon (Final Smash)===
Rocket says "INCOMING!!!!!" and activates a trap under the opponent, making them fall into a hole, burying him/her shoulder high in the ground, mercilessly beats them with a shovel and says "Air STRIKE, suckers!" before running off, followed by dropping a large napalm-bomb on the enemy as he watches the explosion from a helicopter ladder, all while saying "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!".
