 * Grab: King Hippo wraps his arm around the opponent's neck.

 * Forward Throw: King Hippo pushes the opponent away.
 * Back Throw: King Hippo turns around and throws the opponent backwards.
 * Up Throw: King Hippo uppercuts the opponent into the air.
 * Down Throw: King Hippo slams the opponent down and then sits on them.
 * Neutral Special - Typhoon Cutter: King Hippo performs a downward-swinging punch that sends out a gust of air. The air does damage, but instead of making the opponent flinching, it pushes them forward.
 * Custom 1 - Grounding Cutter: Slower and does less damage than the original, but buries the opponent into the ground.
 * Custom 2 - Speed Cutter: Doesn't do that much damage as the original or the first variation, but you can rapid-fire and it does make them flinch.
 * Side Special - Belly Bounce: King Hippo slams his stomach forward, which moves him forward, to do big damage. If he hits the opponent, he bounces away and turns around.
 * Custom 1 - Flinging Bounce: The same animation sends King Hippo careening to the side he's facing; he'll still bounce. Works for a recovery.
 * Custom 2 - Slippery Bounce: King Hippo is stationary for this one entirely. His attack still does damage, but the opponent trips instead.
 * Up Special - Piston Pump: King Hippo rapidly punches the air above himself, somehow levitating. Unlike Mac's recovery move, he can aim it in an upward angle and it's a shorter range.
 * Custom 1 - Flutter Pump: This recovery variation does less damage but sends him farther.
 * Custom 2 - Power Pump: Like Little Mac's normal recovery, this one can only send Hippo straight up, but it does more damage.
 * Down Special - Bear Hug: King Hippo squeezes the opponent in a vice grip. It can be charged for more damage. The opponent collapses to the ground afterwards.
 * Custom 1 - Fast Hug: The move is faster at charging, but a full blast on this one is less damage than the normal.
 * Custom 2 - Fire Hug: The actual hug doesn't work, but charging it causes an explosion (the longer and better).
 * Final Smash - Manhole Cover: King Hippo tapes a sewer cover to his stomach and makes him completely invulnerable for a short period of time. No damage, no flinching, no slipping, freezing, stunning or anything like that. His strength, speed, and jumping power are completely unaltered, though... (also, his crown is bigger)

Taunts

 * Up: King Hippo adjusts his trunks while saying "Size Triple-Extra Large!"

 * Down: King Hippo points and laughs as he says "I am the King!"
