Side Special: Fountain
Mae gets in a fish fountain as seen in one of the hangouts with Bea. She can spray water from left to right. No movement is allowed in this form.
Up Special: Taco Tank
Mae shoves a few tacos down her throat and immediately throws them up. The vomit deals damage if hit with it and leaves a slippery area where characters can not stop moving on. Too fast speeds on the projectile vomit make the character instantly Trip.
Down Special: Die Anywhere Else
Mae will summon a guitar and start to play as Gregg, Bea and Angus appear behind her and play as well. Other characters will get bombarded with notes from the group. If Mae stops, the band will continue to play for a short period of time before wrapping up and disappearing.

Kirby Abilty: When swallowed by Kirby, he gets her fur colour and ears. He is then able to use Astral Projection for himself.
