Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Min Min can use ARM Change to equip the Megawatt onto her right ARM in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Similarly to the original game, the Megawatt is a slow-moving ARM that deals massive damage if it connects with an opponent. If a Smash Attack is inputted and charged for long enough, the Megawatt will be fully charged, providing more knockback and power.
