Neutral Special	
Slot Machine Gun 	Professor Layton brings out the Slot Machine Gun and begins to fire a barrage of coins forward toward the opponent. The machine fires five coins per second, and its projectiles are capable of making the opponent flinch. The slot machine gun is capable of running out of coins and can be reloaded by pressing B once more. This, however, will leave Layton open for attack from opponents.
Side Special 	Have At You! 	Professor Layton takes out his rapier sword, and says, "Have at you!" before entering a fencing position. Layton then takes three steps forward and releases a horizontal sword swing. The move is capable of making opponents lose any items that they are holding, save for any badges. If the opponent is holding a piece of the Daybreaker or the Dragoon, they will automatically lose their pieces.
Up Special 	Umbrella Propeller	Professor Layton takes out Don Paolo's umbrella and propels himself upward, the height being the same as Snake's Cypher move. Upon reaching the peak height, Layton will fall helplessly down, but if the B button is pressed again, he can use the umbrella for a spin attack.
Down Special 	Camera 	Professor Layton yells out, "Smile!", as he takes out a camera, and takes a picture. The camera will let out a large flash, (as tall as Layton, and as wide as King Dedede), in an attempt to blind opponents. The opponents will be affected in two ways, depending on direction. If the opponent is facing the camera forward, they will receive 8% damage, and become dizzy for two seconds, while if the opponent is facing the camera backward, they take 4% damage and no knockback.
Final Smash 	Puzzle Solver! 	Professor Layton points forward, and yells, "Aha!" before as a large Layton symbol appears in front of him, roughly the size of Mega Man's shot before initiating his Final Smash. If any opponents are caught in the symbol, they will be launched into a dark room, where a simple but quick puzzle will appear. Professor Layton then matches the pieces quickly, which will be one of several designs (Smash Ball, Guessing Game, or Target Shot). The pieces then match up, followed by Layton gaining a spark in his eyes, with the pieces combining to create a large explosion towards the opponents launching them. If Professor Layton misses the move, he will notably say "Drat!".
