Throughout the game, the Toads are equipped with a regular punch as well as other "Smash Hits" that can be performed against enemies: the "Turbo Thwack", "Swingin' Size Thirteen", "Jawbuster", a punch with an enlarged knuckle named "Kiss-My-Fist", a headbutt attack named the "Battletoad Butt", "BT Bashing Ball" which is only used while hanging on the Turbo Cable in the second level where the toad character shape-shifts into a wrecking ball, the "Take Out the Trash", where an enemy is picked up and thrown overhead, a clasping of both hands to bash an enemy named "Nuclear Knuckles", "the Punt" where a 'toad repeatedly kicks an enemy after he knocks one into the ground, and a very powerful kick named the "Big Bad Boot". These special moves are usually activated after three or four regular punches or running at a faster pace, which is done by pressing left or right on the D-pad twice in a row followed by a B-button press that triggers the Smash Hit. Due to the variety of gameplay styles between stages, all attacks are only usable in certain levels.
