Heavenward

Seven monkey robots stand between you and the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Knock them off the mountain. The more damage they've taken, the farther they fly. Save your smash for the finish.

Traps

Bananas land on the stage. Step on one and you slip. When the gong rings and a red box appears, get out of the box: Buddha's Palm is coming down. Turn traps off with No traps.
There are also secrets. The Monkey King knows a very old code.

Warm-Up

Practice every move on the Training Monk. He can't be beaten and you can't lose. T changes what he does, R resets, H hides the move list.

Healing

Peaches of Immortality sometimes fall from the sky (−25%). A golden gourd is rarer (−45%). Whoever touches it first gets it. Turn them off with No healing drops (top bar) or from the pause menu.

On the ground

Attack ×3 = jab combo · ←/→ + attack side tilt · ↑ + attack up tilt · ↓ + attack low sweep
Smash (hold to charge): → forward smash · ↑ up smash · ↓ DOWN SMASH hits both sides

In the air

Attack alone = spin · toward = forward air · away = BACK AIR (strongest) · ↑ = up air · ↓ = SPIKE (sends them down)

Specials

Special alone, → + special, ↓ + special: they depend on your monkey · ↑ + special = Nimbus cloud, flies you back

Defending

Shield right before a hit = PARRY (they get stunned, arrows bounce back) · shield + ←/→ = roll · shield + ↓ = dodge · shield in the air = air dodge
Grab beats shields. Then ←/→/↑/↓ (or grab again) to throw, attack to squeeze. Wait too long and you throw them forward anyway. Falling near an edge? You'll grab the ledge: ↑ or toward to climb, jump to hop, attack to swing up.
