* **Death in the Family:**The Joker takes out three playing cards from his sleeve and throws them at the opponent's body, including both of their legs. This brings the opponent down to their knees which allows the Joker to spray acid from his lapel flower onto their face, gruesomely burning away the flesh and melting it down to the skull. The Joker then proceeds to get out his crowbar and swings it at the opponent's head, bashing it away.
* **Happy Deathday:**The Joker hands the opponent a birthday cake which causes a sign with the word "Happy Birthday (Opponent name)" in balloon letters and confetti appears out of nowhere and their opponent looks at the cake, revealing a fuse instead of a candle.
