Weaknesses: Struggles to do much without an object to play "Pong" with, possibly helpless if its ball is taken away and opponent has no objects or projectiles for it to rebound (Power-ups and Summons may help mitigate this)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Hard Smack: A Power-Up where the Pong Paddle swings its whole body like a bat to smack the Ball or other objects to deliver a more powerful rebound
* Finger Grab and Slingshot: A pair of similar Power-Ups to grab, hold, and aim the Ball or other objects for a more percise and powerful return. Finger Grab is more accurate while Slingshot is more powerful.
* Aftertouch: A Power-Up where the Ball or other object that is being bounced is pulled into the center of the Paddle and bounced back with an extra thrust, straightening the shot and adding a small amount of speed.
* Turbo!: Increases the speed that the Pong Paddle and objects bouncing off ot it move for a brief amount of time.
* Table Tip, Hill and Dip: A trio of similar Power-Ups that allow the Pong Paddle to manipulate the current playing field to thier advantage. They can tilt the arena in the direction of thier opponent or create sloping hills and trenches as they see fit. (Possibly location specific for this Power-Up to work)
* Seal: Summons a seal ally to its side. The seal is able to use its flippers like another Pong Paddle for extra help with Attack Reflection.
* Polar Bear: Summons a polar bear ally to its side, the polar bear being strong enough to crack and lift half of the iceberg that the Pong Paddles were playing on.
* King Kong: Summons a large gorilla to the arena. This summon acts more neutral than the other animals and will instead wildly attack and jump around, causing destruction and damage to the surrounding area.
