### Japanese

You will voice him.

**Gooey** is a unlockable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch. Hailing from the Kirby series, Gooey is the 2nd newcomer (listed in the game) in the series to be added to this game. He was originally leaked via the "GPlus" leak.

Gooey is based off of his appearance in *Kirby's Dream Land 3*, while having more of a goofy personality.

He currently has no voice actor, and creates noises based off of the Kirby games.

## Attributes

Gooey is a strange outcast with the members of his series, as he is the only character without a floaty gravity and a slow falling speed. Gooey isn't the fastest character, being one of the weirdest characters to move due to his special "hopping" animation, but he is one of the smallest characters. Along with a decent air speed, great fast fall, and good range in his attacks, he could have one of the best movement options if it wasn't for his running.

Gooey is a special character, in that when he dashes, he performs hops, which slow him down as he "lands", but he gains small bursts of speed every time he hops. These hops are considered to be jumps in game, and this allows Gooey to quickly perform air attacks.

Many of Gooey's attacks consist of his body, or disjointed hitboxes. Attacks like his up tilt, and neutral air have good range, allowing him to space an opponent out. He also has good power in his moves, and a very reliable grab/chain grab in the game. (Close to it being the best) He also has one of the most powerful meteor smashes in the game, as well as having the most indestructible projectile in the game, being able to beat out even Samus' fully charged Charge Shot.

## How to unlock

* Finish 60 VS Battles.
* Finish Co-op Arcade Mode with Kirby and Waddle Dee as partners. As long as Kirby and Waddle Dee is one of the 4 characters, they will be unlocked.
