🎤 Kanako Kurusu (Meruru Mode): Action Moveset

Basic Stats: Small hitbox (hard to hit) and floaty jumps. Her attacks have a "Sweet Spot" mechanic—hitting enemies with the tip of her wand or the peak of her notes deals extra damage.

Command [1, 2, 3]	Move Name	Description
B (Tap)	Stardust Strike	A quick swing of her Meruru wand. Releases a tiny spark that travels a short distance.
B (Hold)	Cosplay Tantrum	Kanako stomps her feet, creating shockwaves. If she hits a grab, she swings the enemy around like a toy.
Dash + B	Meruru Dash	She trips and falls forward, but it's a "clumsy" attack that deals multi-hit damage as she slides.
Up + B	High-Note Scream	A literal "Mic" ability attack. She screams into a mic, creating a vertical blast of sound that deletes projectiles.
Down + B (Air)	Meteor Mic-Drop	Kanako dives down mic-first. Creates a small explosion of musical notes upon impact.
B (Air)	Twinkle Spin	Spins horizontally with her wand out. It functions similarly to Kirby's "Beam" cycle attack.
Down, Up + B	Meruru Transformation	A screen-clearing "Kirby Dance" style blast that deals heavy damage to everyone on screen. (Limited use).
L/R (Guard)	Autograph Shield	She holds up an autograph board. If it breaks, she gets angry and gains a temporary speed boost.

🌟 Special Mechanics

Kanako is all about the "Idol" aesthetic and her surprisingly short temper.

🍭 Sugar Rush

Kanako can "inhale" sweets and candy items much faster than other characters. Eating a recovery item gives her a temporary Golden Aura, making her "Stardust Strike" projectiles much larger.

💨 The "Manager" Helper

Pressing A summons her manager, Kanako's Manager (The Guy in the Suit).

• The Manager doesn't attack directly but stays in front of Kanako to block attacks.
• He can throw Kanako into the air for a super-high jump (The Idol Launch).

🎶 Performance Score

Each time Kanako hits an enemy, a "Combo" counter appears as musical notes. At 10 hits, her next High-Note Scream becomes a screen-wide Concert Blast.

🕹️ Gameplay Strategy

1. Use the Height: Kanako is very small. Use her size to duck under boss projectiles that would hit Kirino or Ayase.
2. Soundwave Control: Her High-Note Scream is her best defensive tool. It creates a "dead zone" for enemies above her.
3. The Glass Cannon: While she has great range with her "Meruru" magic, she takes high knockback. Don't get cornered!
