Plasma Attack

The Plasma Attack is a move utilized by the majority of the playable characters in the Wii U version of Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Physical Appearance
The Plasma Attack is an orb of red or blue plasma (depending on the players’ team) that leaves a trail of the same color when moving.

Overview
The Plasma Attack formed in front of the player, where they need to kick it in order to shoot it forward, much like a football. It is used to knock down and hinder opponents, which also makes them lose the football if they have it on them. It is only usable by a character when their team is on the defensive. Likewise, it is only usable during Dual Football and not regular Football.
