“Let's Rock!”

– Smash Hit's official catchphrase

Smash Hit is a Warsupial who is one of the Earth SuperChargers in Skylanders: SuperChargers. His signature vehicle is the Thump Truck. He also has a green counterpart called Steel Plated Smash Hit, which is exclusive to Best Buy.

Character Development

Designed by Dave Phillips, Smash Hit underwent several design changes along with his weapon of choice. Initially he was a koala-like creature under the Life element with weapons that ranged from buzzsaws to brush cutters. At one point during development, he was set to be female and was designed as a dinosaur-like, Earth elemental character. Eventually Vicarious Visions decided to finalize Smash Hit into a mammalian Warsupial and his weapon became a large wrecking ball.

Background

Personality

As his name suggests, Smash Hit loves demolishing objects (particularly remnants of the Arkeyans that were too dangerous to leave rusting). However when not battling evil, he tends to destroy old objects at the Skylanders Academy that no longer prove useful to its inhabitants (Buzz in particular). He is also a real chatterbox when having a conversation, as revealed in his interactions with Buzz during his Quests in SuperChargers.

Biography

Smash Hit came from a long line of Warsupials - a rare species widely renowned for their skills in combat. But in more peaceful times, his people were responsible for locating and demolishing any remaining artifacts from the Arkeyan Empire that were deemed too dangerous to leave standing. Smash Hit liked his job because it allowed him to do what he loved most - break things! He was so skillful with his wrecking ball that he could single-handedly dismantle an entire Arkeyan Conquertron in under an hour and still have time for a snack. When Master Eon noticed his skill, he enlisted the talented Warsupial into a new wrecking crew he was forming to take on Kaos - the SuperChargers!

Gameplay

Smash Hit can use his large ball and chain to crush enemies in various ways, and detach them to attack with the chain and leave the ball attacking on its own.

In Skylanders: Battlecast, he can also summon the Thump Truck via rift to run over enemies quickly, and cause a shockwave that temporarily immobilizes enemies. His special ability is Ground Pound, ensnaring an enemy, and his signature gear is the Rip Chain, which only gives him a small boost in attack but also makes him retaliate when he is attacked directly. His scrapped signature Relic is the Cement Slinger, which adds up to debuffs by damaging the targets.

Quest Quotes

• "Wait a minute. You ARE seeing me right now, right Buzz? Just checking. Haha. I guess I don't know what you mean. Do you know what you mean? 'Cuz I don't know what you mean. You know what I mean?"
• "Oh that's nothing. Wait till I get started! You know I had a cousin one time who came in like a wrecking ball. Which was great except for the fact his mother ran a china shop. The next day everything was half off. Which is silly cuz what can you do with half a plate? Right?"
• "Driving?! Driving?!! I'm an excellent driver! No question! Well, actually I do have a question - but not about driving. You ever wonder, Buzz, about pie. Not pie the number, I mean pie the pie - you know apple, berry, cherry, rutabaga? Terrible pie that rutabaga. But good for bowling."
• "That's funny, Buzz, cuz I didn't even really need to go to town. I mean, I have all the supplies I need right now - and seriously, why would I ride a goon into town when I have a perfectly good Thump Truck. Unless it broke down. Then, of course, I'd change my mind about goons."

Unless of course one were to build a machine that could use the sheer power of rocking to propel one places. Wow - can you imagine all the grandparents?? They'd be totally unstoppable!"
• "Oh, why thank you very much, Buzz. You know I've got to tell ya, if you're having a hard time getting impressed, I'd be more than happy to get something heavy and put it on top of you - maybe a building or a mountain or something. I think that's probably the best way to fix your problem, don't you? I do! Don't you? I do! You just be sure and let me know. Okay? Okay? Okay? - Okay."
