Kiwi (Galactic Battle)

Kiwi () is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle. She is one of two representatives of the Pilotwings Series, and in her home series, is an aspiring pilot in training.
Kiwi is an Echo Fighter of Lark and shares the same moveset, while also having her own animations.
==Description==
Kiwi is one of the six select-able pilots from Pilotwings 64 and a member of one of the smallest weight classes in the game.
Along with the other five characters, Kiwi travels to Holiday Island in order to partake in a series of tests to become a high-class pilot.
Not much else is known about Kiwi's personality, however.
==Differences from Lark==
==Moveset==
 	Name 	Description
Neutral attack 	N/A 	Kiwi begins with one large poke from the right wing of her Birdman suit. A swipe from the left wing, and a forced slam from both wings, very similar to Palutena’s side smash. This move can be infinitely held, with Kiwi rapidly “poking” her opponents with the tip of the wings, ending with a wing slam.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A VERY large swipe with the left wing of her Birdman suit. Although able to destroy weak projectiles, it doesn't give much knockback.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Performs an upwards triple kick with the Jumble Hopper spring shoes in the style of Pit and Sonic’s U-Tilts. The final kick does a lot more knockback, but just enough so that Kiwi can follow up with a multitude of aerial attacks.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Kiwi sweeps the floor with her right wing. No knockback or wind box, but can be used rapidly and repeatedly to trip opponents.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Kiwi rushes in with a big headbutt to his opponents, courtesy of her helmet. Does decent knockback, and can cause opponents to trip if sweet-spotted.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Kiwi performs a grounded dive, sliding into any opponents in her path. Similar to her dash attack, but doesn’t travel as far, and does more knockback. Can KO at high enough percentages.
Up Smash 	N/A 	With the help of her Jumble Hopper spring boots, Kiwi hops upwards with so much force, that her helmet sends opponents flying straight upwards, allowing her to follow up with many aerial attacks.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Kiwi rapidly spins along the ground, similar to Princess Peach, but attacking with her right foot and left wing. Does a lot of damage, but the knockback will leave a bit to be desired. The most damaging of all her Smash Attacks, but has the least knockback.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Kiwi performs a seriously rapid spin in the air, similar to Falco, but more damaging, and the knockback is almost non-existent, meaning she could follow up with some more aerials.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Kiwi spreads the wings of her Birdman suit extending them forward, rapidly jabbing at her opponents.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Basically performs a “winged” version of Fox’s F-Air, but instead, the wings are directly behind her, rather than directing them diagonally like Fox’s feet when he performs his F-Air.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Kiwi rapidly flaps the wings of her Birdman suit above her, doing multiple hits in a similar manner to R.O.B.’s U-Air. Has a windbox that goes a distance.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Kiwi sends herself downwards, head-first. Can meteor smash at any frame, but only if the opponent is hit by the top of his head. The opponent will NOT be meteor smashed if they are hit by the side of Kiwi’s head or any other part of her body.
Grab 	N/A 	Kiwi grabs with one hand.
Pummel 	N/A 	Kiwi head-bangs the opponent with her helmet.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Kiwi performs a Judo Throw, sending opponents flying headfirst.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Kiwi tosses the opponent over her head and behind her, backhand-punching the opponent away.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Kiwi tosses the opponent upwards, headbutting to send them further upward.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Kiwi tosses her opponent downwards, jumping high into the air, and then landing, performing a big body slam onto them. Her pose while diving onto the opponent is a reference to the Skydiving mini-game from Pilotwings 64.
Neutral Special	Parachute 	A parachute pops out from Kiwi's backpack. It can damage nearby opponents, and slow down Kiwi's falling speed, but cannot be used to grant extra jumping ability.
Side Special 	Toy Plane 	Kiwi quickly whips out a remote, and from above her, a toy plane flies around. The toy plane can drop small pellets when the A button is pressed and can be canceled when the B button is pressed. As long as the toy plane is still in-activation, Kiwi will be left wide open for attack and will have no way to defend herself.
Up Special 	Rocket Belt	Unlike the item, this Rocket Belt cannot be used “infinitely” and instead bursts upwards with blazing speed, having greater knockback at takeoff. It is similar to Palutena’s Rocket Jump but travels much higher vertically. Sadly, this move has little to no horizontal recovery. if Kiwi were to damage anyone on the way up, she would score multiple hits, similar to Little Mac’s Rising Star recovery move.
Down Special 	Boost Ring 	When used, Kiwi places a floating ring in front of her which can be passed through to give him an instant momentum boost to dash into opponents, sending them flying from the collision. However, opponents can also go through this ring as well, which can be used to their advantage, rushing into other opponents (including Kiwi). Kiwi will take more knockback if used against her.
Final Smash 	Light Plane	A cutscene plays where Kiwi appears in the Silver Lightplane alongside both Ibis and Robin. She then jumps in while all three fly toward any opponents caught within the attack. If successful, Kiwi, Ibis, and Robin will KO any opponents with high damage while giving knockback towards those with lower damage percentages. Kiwi only has a 15 second time limit to pull off the move. Ibis and Robin then disappear afterward.

==Role in The Elemental Labyrinth==
Kiwi was among the fighters present at the ceremony being congratulated by Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Kiwi was present during the clash between Hearth, Floe, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand. Upon the clash between the six deities, Kiwi attempted to escape the elemental beams by hang-gliding out of the chaos but ended up being crashed into by Lark who had fired himself out of a cannon in an attempt to take Boreas head-on. Both Lark and Kiwi were vaporized by Boreas' attacks and fell under his control.

==Fighter Spirits==
Kiwi's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Kiwi in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
