Notable Techniques

Move	Damage	Description
4-Way Cutter Attack		Sends out four Cutter boomerangs from his body that all circle back to him. At low health, he'll perform this move twice in a row, a reference to when Marx Soul does the attack. The blades can be reflected or eaten. This attack is referred to as {Shooter Cutter in the Kirby series.
Extra-Thick Laser		Marx teleports to the player's vertical position. He charges up and fires a laser that crosses the entire stage. This attack can not be shielded, but can be blocked by attacks such as Kirby's Stone. This move is referred to as Marx Cannon in the Kirby series.
Ice Bomb		Floats to the top of the screen and drops a large Ice Ball. The Ice Ball explodes into two icy shockwaves when it reaches the player's current vertical position, spreading out horizontally and freezing the player on contact. It can be reflected or eaten. The icy shockwaves can also be absorbed. This move is referred to as Ice Bowl in the Kirby series.
Makai Plant		Flies offscreen and drops five to seven seeds that disappear into the ground. Afterwards, large, thorny vines will grow upward from where the seeds landed. At low health more seeds will fall; they will also fall and grow faster. Unlike in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, shielding the seeds does not destroy them. This move is referred to as Seed Attack in the Kirby series.
Jump Out of the Ground		A shadow appears on the ground and follows the player. After a bit of time, the shadow doubles in size and Marx flies out of it. Marx often uses this attack after using another attack that puts him offscreen, doing so more frequently at low health. This move is referred to as Shadow Upper in the Kirby series.
Black Hole		Marx splits in two, opening a Black Hole that will attempt to suck in the player. If the player gets caught, they will take massive damage and get spiked into the ground. Marx prefaces this attack with three teleports from side to side, until stopping at the exact center of the screen. Marx is can be damaged prior to splitting but is intangible afterwards.
Tracking Eye		Marx's eyes go completely black, then black balls come out of them and start bouncing around the stage, homing on the player and dealing damage to the player upon contact. At low health, Marx will spawn more black balls, up to 6.
Capillary Expansion		Moves to the middle of the screen and retracts his wings, where pink, branching appendages resembling blood vessels grow out instead, spreading across the screen and dealing damage to the player upon contact. The attack is vertically mirrored. There are two variations: one in which the appendages fill the center bottom of the screen while leaving the corners untouched and vice-versa.
Compound Eye Laser		Grows large compound eyes that send out multiple laser beams from the eyes. The lasers are evenly spaced from each other and have a random rotation. At low health, more lasers will be sent from each eye.

Other

Standard Tactics: Marx is somewhat of a wild card, but it has some moves it uses more, such as him going into the shadows and jumping out of the ground, or causing thorny vines to emerge out of the ground. Marx may also teleport and fly around so it could not be hit. When it is closer to death, it may use moves such as Eye Lasers or Carpillary Expansion

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
