The mini mastermind owner of the Chum Bucket, now with a mecha suit. | '''''The mini mastermind owner of the Chum Bucket, now with a mecha suit.''''' | ||
Coming from the SpongeBob SquarePants series, Plankton is a power-hungry copepod who owns the Chum Bucket, a rivalling restaurant to the Krusty Krab. Despite his best efforts, Plankton finds his restaurant failing, partially because of how delicious the Krusty Krab's Krabby Patty is, and mostly because of his own food being awful to the point of inedible. As a result of this, Plankton resorts to attempting to steal the Krabby Patty's secret formula in hopes of running Mr. Krabs out of business, usually with different kinds of machines. Time and time again however, Plankton always fails, but always comes back with a new scheme. And now, with a modified mecha suit with his computer wife Karen by his side, Plankton is ready to cause all kinds of destruction! | |||

Mecha-Plankton is ranked 10th out of 29 on the current [[Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2/FAQ|tier list]], in the A tier. | |||
Plankton possesses a very explosive and polarizing mixture of zoner and grappler. Plankton is an absolute menace up close, with very damaging attacks in both the looming threat of his Side Special and his combo game. But that's not all: Plankton can also zone proficiently well, with Neutral Special and Down Special aiding him in keeping the opponent away if need be. | |||
However, Plankton does have some notable flaws, mainly with his size: Plankton is a huge target, which makes him combo food for a majority of the cast. Plankton is also rather slow on the ground, though using Aerial Neutral Strong and wavedashing around can treat this flaw. However, Plankton's arguable biggest flaw is his predictability: because of how simple his gimmicks tend to be, he is a rather simple character to check, which means a proficient Plankton player must mix up options a lot in order to keep the opponent off-guard. | |||
Plankton has historically been a very polarizing character in the metagame, with opinions fluctuating on if he's anywhere from top 10 to even bottom 10. In recent times, Plankton has been thought of far more positively, having achieved strong results online and offline. | |||

About
The mini mastermind owner of the Chum Bucket, now with a mecha suit.
Coming from the SpongeBob SquarePants series, Plankton is a power-hungry copepod who owns the Chum Bucket, a rivalling restaurant to the Krusty Krab. Despite his best efforts, Plankton finds his restaurant failing, partially because of how delicious the Krusty Krab's Krabby Patty is, and mostly because of his own food being awful to the point of inedible. As a result of this, Plankton resorts to attempting to steal the Krabby Patty's secret formula in hopes of running Mr. Krabs out of business, usually with different kinds of machines. Time and time again however, Plankton always fails, but always comes back with a new scheme. And now, with a modified mecha suit with his computer wife Karen by his side, Plankton is ready to cause all kinds of destruction!
Playstyle
Plankton is a rare "zoner-grappler" archetype. He excels in wreaking havoc on-stage by spilling sauce everywhere, and then ending the stock with a devastating command grab. Plankton also has some of the biggest buttons in the game, and he can easily wall his opponents out with his devastating ledgetrapping.
If you like wreaking havoc wherever you go and being large and in charge, Plankton might be for you!
Metagame
Mecha-Plankton is ranked 10th out of 29 on the current tier list, in the A tier.
Plankton possesses a very explosive and polarizing mixture of zoner and grappler. Plankton is an absolute menace up close, with very damaging attacks in both the looming threat of his Side Special and his combo game. But that's not all: Plankton can also zone proficiently well, with Neutral Special and Down Special aiding him in keeping the opponent away if need be.
However, Plankton does have some notable flaws, mainly with his size: Plankton is a huge target, which makes him combo food for a majority of the cast. Plankton is also rather slow on the ground, though using Aerial Neutral Strong and wavedashing around can treat this flaw. However, Plankton's arguable biggest flaw is his predictability: because of how simple his gimmicks tend to be, he is a rather simple character to check, which means a proficient Plankton player must mix up options a lot in order to keep the opponent off-guard.
Plankton has historically been a very polarizing character in the metagame, with opinions fluctuating on if he's anywhere from top 10 to even bottom 10. In recent times, Plankton has been thought of far more positively, having achieved strong results online and offline.

Sauce Status Effect
Mecha Plankton has several attacks that can inflict the Sauce status effect, these attacks being Neutral Special, Slime/EX Neutral Special, and Charge Up Air.
In general, the Sauce status effect will slow down the opponent and set their DI multiplier to 0, meaning DI inputs will be ignored when they have the Sauce status effect on them. The more an opponent is hit with attacks that apply the Sauce status effect, the slower they become.
The Sauce status effect has six phases in total. When first reaching a phase, its lifetime timer will begin and any subsequent sauce hits will add a small amount of time to the timer. If an opponent is hit with enough sauce attacks, the status effect will progress to its next phase. When a phase's timer runs out, the previous phase will begin. If there is no previous phase, the Sauce status effect will end. Because of this, the status effect can last for a very long time if applied consistently.
Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
---|---|---|
The first phase an opponent enters when hit with a sauce attack.
|
|
Phase 3 introduces a reduction to Walk Speed.
|
Phase 4 | Phase 5 | Phase 6 |
Phase 4 introduces an increase to Air Friction.
|
|
Phase 6 introduces a reduction to Ground Friction. This is the final phase.

Techniques
Up Special Height Boost
You can cancel Light Up Air early from frames 42-51 into Up Special. By doing this, you will increase the height gained with Up Special. If you do not cancel Light Up Air in time and instead allow the move to end, Up Special will not gain any additional height. Using the height boost can make a huge difference in recovering from long distances.
Ground Canceled Charge Neutral Air
If you land on a platform on or the stage while you are propelling forward during Charge Neutral Air, you will cancel the move but retain your momentum, causing you to slide across the ground. However, hitting a shield before canceling your Charge Neutral Air will kill your momentum. Jumping shortly after the cancel will carry some of your momentum into the air.
You can perform this tech by either using an edge to land onto a surface, or by exhausting your fuel to negate the stalling effect and landing on a surface during the attack (much harder).
Edge Canceled Charge Neutral Air
Charge Neutral Air can be edge canceled by angling the move up before touching the edge of a stage. This will cancel the attack and allow Mecha Plankton to be fully actionable afterwards. Mecha Plankton must be at a specific height relative to the edge. If he's too high, he will fly past the edge. If he's too low, he will either ground cancel Charge Neutral Air, or become stuck against the edge.
Shock Wave Off Edge
If Mecha Plankton stands at a very specific distance behind an edge and uses Charge Down, the shock wave can fall off the edge. This can happen on platforms and on the stage. The distance you need to be from an edge is somewhat consistent with every stage and platform, but camera angles and stage terrain can make it harder to pinpoint where to stand to perform this tech consistently.
Slime Canceled Dash Attack Boost
If you slime cancel during dash attack at a specific timing, you will gain a burst of speed. Jumping soon after the slime cancel will give you a large speed boost that carries into the air.
