Well, we already talked about this yesterday. Pom Pom is kind of in a tentative state, where I'm not entirely certain whether she should be a color swap or an echo fighter. For now, I am leaving her as an echo fighter, and we'll see what the future holds.

Pom Pom was introduced as a female variant of Boom Boom and appeared in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, alternating boss duties with Boom Boom and occasionally tag-teaming with him. Both had a tendency toward brute strength and bouncing around inside their shells when hit, though Pom Pom introduced both a boomerang and a shuriken into the mix, both as throwing weapons. Not too much variance to make either fully distinct, but still enough to shake up their moveset a little.

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Spinning Punch
The same as Boom Boom's.

Side B: Shuriken

The same as well, though it does occur to me that Boom Boom might wield the boomerang, while Pom Pom wields the Shuriken, just to shake things up.

Up B: Shell Slam

Based on her movement in 3D World, she will tuck into her shell, spin up into the air, and slam back down.

Down B: Spikes

Still the same.

Final Smash: Tag Team Bop

I suppose they can both support each other. Boom Boom will appear and they will pummel their opponents together.

Entrance: She will slam down from above.

Taunts: Maybe her own version of the angry stomp.

Next up: Let's introduce the first of our two brand-new characters, though kinda not a new character, Fursuit Mario.
