Thwack is a spell the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]] can randomly choose from his Command Selection ability. It costs an immense 30 MP to cast and will only deal 3% upon failure, but creates a large explosion with a chance to instantly KO an opponent. The chance to KO increases with the opponents damage and is slightly boosted if the Hero is also damaged.
