Standard Special | Fire Weapon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Side Special | OmniWrench | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ratchet throws the Omniwrench like a makeshift boomerang that travels 3/4 the distance of Mega Man's Side Smash before it comes flying back to him.

Final Smash | Black Sheepinator | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ratchet fires a beam that can travel through fighters, turning anyone it hits into a helpless sheep for a total of 8 seconds. The sheep can jump once, can't shield or dodge, and have only a single input: Pressing attack or special will result in them going "Baaaah." Ratchet can freely attack opponents around, though their fluffy wool reduces damage and knockback to them. Opponents with over 100% damage get turned into Black Sheep, which baa, then explode, KO'ing them and dealing damage and knockback to nearby opponents. |
Taunts[]
- Up Taunt: Ratchet throws his OmniWrench into the air, but gets distracted by Clank. The wrench then falls and hits him on the head. He then says "Ouch! That stings!", while Clank says "Don't get distracted."
- Down Taunt: Ratchet hovers in the air using a jetpack and does a small spin while Clank also hovers. They do a high five.
- Right Taunt: Ratchet turns to the screen and takes his OmniWrench, pointing it forward. He then says "I won't back down!"
- Left Taunt: Mr. Zurkon appears and floats in front of Ratchet, saying one of his quotes when he is summoned. Ratchet laughs off the threat.
On-Screen Appearance[]
- Ratchet's homemade spaceship from the original PlayStation 2 game, lands in the background of the stage. The cockpit opens as Ratchet snatches Clank and puts the robot on his back and faces the foe.
Idle Poses[]
- Ratchet jumps up slightly and puts his hands on his hips.
- Clank pops up and taps Ratchet on the head.
Victory Poses[]
- Ratchet comes zooming in on a jetback and turns around with Clank jumping off his back. He then pulls out his OmniWrench and points it forward while saying "You miss me?!"
- Ratchet swirls his OmniWrench and then points it up in the air. Clank then appears and says "Seems we missed the party."
- Ratchet takes out one of his guns he has and points it forward towards the screen, before saying "Eat plasma!" and then fires it.
