Special Moves
◾Neutral Special- Freezinate, Burninate, Lurgy: Riki's neutral special automatically cycles between three different projectile attacks. The cycle will always start with Freezinate, then go to Burninate, and then to Lurgy, before cycling back to Freezinate. Freezinate deals less damage but freezes opponents; Burninate deals more damage but has less range; Lurgy will deal poison damage to opponents, but is a slower projectile.

◾Side Special- Roly Poly: Riki's side special Roly Poly has Riki roll forwards at a high speed. Riki will bounce off of the ground the first time he hits the ground when using the move. If Riki collides with an opponent, the attack will end and the opponent will be knocked down as if they slipped on a banana. There is a 70% chance of knocking them down; however, if they are not knocked down, they will instead become dizzy.

◾Up Special- Frantic Flapping: Riki's up special, Frantic Flapping, deals no damage but has a decent vertical and horizontal recovery range.

◾Down Special- Yoink: Riki's down special, Yoink, can steal items held by opponents; this includes projectiles such as Link's Bomb, Peach's Turnip, and Diddy Kong's Banana Peel. Riki can then use the stolen items. Riki can also steal stored charges from other characters, like Samus's Charge Shot, Mewtwo's Shadow Ball, and anything from Villager's Pocket. However, Riki cannot use these, only take them and discard of them (with the occasional exception of Villager, which depends on what exactly was stolen from the Pocket). At high percentages, Riki can even steal health from opponents he uses it on.

◾Final Smash- Chain Attack: Riki swings his Biter in a circle around himself, creating a blue area around him; opponents caught in this blue aura will be trapped in the Chain Attack; upon activating, Riki will say, 'Riki looove chain attack!', 'Sidekicks! Fight hard!', or 'Dundun!'.

Upon the attack beginning, Reyn and Dunban will arrive to assist in the chain attack. They will then begin an attack sequence:

The three of them position themselves in front of the enemy and ready their weapons; Reyn says, 'When the goin' gets tough, the tough gets goin'!' to which Riki replies, 'Heehee, even Riki know that not right!'. The three of them then begin to attack.

Riki says, 'Riki beat enemy good!' and uses Bitey Bitey on them; Dunban uses Worldly Slash and then calls, 'Reyn!'; Reyn says, 'I know! I know!' while using Bone Upper on the enemies. Riki uses Lurgy on the opponent and then uses Say Sorry while saying, 'Heropon snap chop!'; Dunban uses Gale Slash and says 'On my mark!'; Reyn then uses Sword Drive and shouts, 'It's Reyn time!'. Riki then uses Behave followed by Burninate while shouting, 'Riki leave that one for Dundun!'; Reyn charges in and uses Hammer Beat and says, 'What a buncha jokahs!' to which Dunban says 'Reyn, stay focused!' while using Soaring Tempest and Blossom Dance. Riki then says, 'Riki show friends secret Nopon special move! Now! Together hit!' Upon saying this all three of them charge forwards and hit the opponent with their weapons simultaneously, launching them away; Riki then finishes it all by saying, 'Sidekicks! Good job!'
