## Synopsis

After hearing word about the ARMS fighter, Ashley suits up Waluigi with ARMS of his very own! How will the battlefield change? Does Waluigi even know who Spring Man is?

## Plot

At their house, Ashley is looking over something and commenting on it. Waluigi pops up and asks what she's doing, and she explains that she has come up with her most ingenious plan to get into *Smash Bros,* one so ingenious, it took her to the third episode to think it up. The plan is to make Waluigi an Echo Fighter which the purple one likes, but admits that it would be hard, since he's "one of a kind." Ashley responds by asking if he likes Spring Man, and notes he would be perfect for her Plan B. Waluigi is suspicious of this, as whenever she says Plan B "something bad always happens" he yells as he's dragged off.

Ashley then puts him through painful tests for mobility, length and response to compression, Later, Ashley shows Waluigi the "Mega Fist Force E" which are not just normal "fisty thingies," and has him try them on. He is amused by the springing arms, and Ashley declares it a success, telling him he will join the upcoming tournament and become the next Smash fighter. Waluigi assures her that "Spring Waa" is on the case, and bounces off, but Ashley chases after him, reminding him he needs a disguise.

Catching up with him, she reminds him he can't just go into the tournament as himself or he'll be banned. Using her magic, she gives him a mask and pronounces him as a new ARMS fighter, with Waluigi dubbing himself "El Whackador." Pleased, she asks if he is pondering what she is, and he asks what he is supposed to take if he goes out alone. She replies he'll figure it out in combat and sends him off, saying he'll either succeed with flying colors, or be doomed to fail.

In the tournament, Ridley, Mega Man, & Luigi are fighting, when Waluigi shows up. Although he claims to be El Whackador, no one but Mega Man is fooled by his disguise. Speaking with Spanish words, the purple one does quite well in battle, dodging the others' attacks and doing some damage with his own. Eventually, Luigi is taken out by Mega Man's Hard Knuckle attack, and Ridley attempts to take out El Whackador, but he escapes his move and sends him over the edge, leaving only Mega Man. The Blue Bomber then congratulates the new fighter, saying his moves remind him of his own Spring Man causing Waluigi to ask about him. As Ashley watches on, hoping he won't say anything, Mega Man talks about the Robot Master, causing an excited Waluigi to lose his mask, exposing him. Waluigi justifies it by saying he likes Spring Man and thought that's who he'd be imitating in Smash. Mega Man reminds him he's not allowed in the game, and the two battle, this time with Mega Man getting the upper hand, and defeating him with Hard Knuckle. Waluigi laments his loss, while Ashley scolds him for ruining her perfect plan. However, Master Hand questions why they are the on the battlefield, and they decide to "amscray" as usual, only for one of the fists to explode. Back on the battlefield, Luigi & Ridley are revived, with the latter demanding a rematch.

Later, Waluigi notes that they learned how durable he is in combat, while Ashley replies that they learned how durable he is when he dodges her fists, before she hits him with one of the fists to end the episode.
