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.
