## **Character Info**

Ultra-InterGalactic-Cybot G Marina Liteyears is tasked with protecting the clumsy, kidnap-prone Professor Theo from the Evil Emperor. The kind-hearted fighting robot travels from one planet to another in search of the professor, collecting gold gems along the way.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Marina bursts onto stage with the help of her handy jetpack, ready to fight.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby wears Marina's headgear, as well as a mop of her green hair.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Marina leaps up with a fist thrown in the air, exclaiming, "Mischief Makers!" or "Let's go!"

**Down Taunt:** Marina outstretches her arms with a great yawn, saying either *"Huuuaaa!!"* or "Not enough mischief!"

**Side Taunt:** The gems on Marina's hands shine a bright blue, and she stares at them as if they're telling her something. She says, "Professor!"

### **Victory Poses**

1. Marina holds onto a treasure chest, shaking it open as a number of large gemstones come hurling out. While doing this, she shouts, "Shake-Shake!"
2. Marina furls up a map that she had been looking over, saying, "Mischief managed!" before looking towards the camera with a smile.
3. Marina twirls around then leaps in the air with both arms outstretched and a smile. Victoriously, she proclaims, "Yahoo!" or "We did it!"

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Grab:** Marina's Standard, Side, Up, and Down Special are all the same move: her go-to Grab attack. It has very high priority and maintains considerably more range than a standard throw, and she is even capable of performing it in mid-air. Once she gets her mitts on an opponent, the special attack button can be continually pressed to shake them, rousing up minor per-second damage while also dizzying them up. When she lets go of them, they will be placed into a dazed or confused state with either scrambled controls or temporary paralysis, as if their shield had been broken. Tilting the control stick in any direction while she is grabbing them will have her throw them in that direction. If Marina uses a side, up, or down input along with the special attack button, she will automatically toss them in that direction. If she uses only the standard special input, she will grab them and await further instruction from the player for further input. The throw itself has strong knockback and, of course, the opponent will garner additional damage by ramming into something during their ascent, and may even ram into other foes and damage them along the way. While in mid-air, she can throw an enemies downwards to help propel herself upwards; this can be variated by throwing them in a downwards diagonal direction and having her leap diagonally upwards in turn. She can also use her grab to catch items, either throwing them afterwards or holding onto them for herself by releasing the special attack button. These are beefed-up grabs from the norm, capable of great knockback and combo-stacking capabilities than Marina's standard grabs, which are also differentiated in animation and execution from the ones noted here in her specials.

### **Final Smash**

**Omega Shake:** The camera zooms in on Marina as she performs this grab. If she connects it with an opponent, the camera will continue zooming in and out towards the action almost in a dizzying sense as she excitedly screams, "Shake-Shake!" She rampantly shakes her foe, racking up considerably damage before throwing them in the direction of her choice. Any opponent in the direct vicinity of Marina might also be caught up in her shaking onslaught, being repeatedly battered by the grabbed opponent. Anyone who connects with the tossed opponent will be dealt considerably more damage and knockback than they would with the usual Grab. Of course, the majority of the horror is wrought upon Marina's unfortunate grab-ee, shaken and stirred in such a way that the knockback from this throw will almost certainly land them near or past a blast zone. Those with over 100% damage gained when Marina grabs them will be automatically KO'd once she throws them. Perhaps she threw them directly into the Void™?

### **Extra Skill**

**Jetpack:** Marina snaps her fingers as her jetpack glows a bright blue and she shouts, "Alright!" or "Fly-Fly!" While her jetpack is glowing, Marina is allowed free flight. Any jump input will see her activate her jetpack, flying around with the ability to build momentum and slam into her opponents, or to simply have an incredible recovery. After several seconds, the jetpack will lose gas and Marina will enter freefall. Marina maintains no super armor frames while flying, so there's that to watch out for, too.

### **Unique Skills**

While Marina doesn't have a dedicated Up Special, her jetpack permits her additional jumps even when its magic isn't activated. In its standard form, it affords Marina six jumps total, puffing up a little bit of gas to push her upwards four additional times past her two normal jumps.
