+The '''Blast-o-Matic''' (also written as '''Blast-O-Matic''')<ref>{{cite|title="Blast-O-Matic" answer in [https://play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/super-mario-online-trivia/ Super Mario Characters Online Trivia Quiz!]|publisher=[[Play Nintendo]]|accessdate=February 21, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230219204620/https://play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/super-mario-online-trivia/}}</ref><ref>{{file link|NL2023 site screenshot Day 3 quiz QA.png|Screenshots}} of the questions and answers in the [[Nintendo Live 2023]] Quiz on Day 3. "Blast-O-Matic" is one of the answers available for the sixth question.</ref> is a powerful laser-firing weapon developed by the [[Kremling]]s under [[King K. Rool]]'s orders in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It comprises a majority of K. Rool's ship, [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]]. This machine is powered by a central core, which is connected to five rooms, each with its own colored power generator; the color for each power source corresponds to one of the five [[Kong]]s. The device is capable of firing a laser from three brass rings surrounding a metal arrowhead pole. The arrow of the machine comes out from the belly of Crocodile Isle.
-The '''Blast-o-Matic''' is a powerful weapon [[King K. Rool]] attempts to use to destroy [[Donkey Kong Island]] during the events of''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It was designed by the weasel technician [[Snide]], who is deprived of the weapon's [[blueprint]]s and his membership in the [[Kremling Krew]] by K. Rool before the game begins. Sometime later, the Blast-o-Matic is incorporated into [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]], K. Rool's mobile base of operations, but is damaged when Crocodile Isle collides with a rock near the island. To buy time to repair the weapon, K. Rool imprisons [[Diddy Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], and [[Chunky Kong]] and confiscates [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]] hoard. While this works as intended, the Blast-o-Matic is eventually disabled through the Kongs' efforts in [[Hideout Helm]].
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong 64''===
+[[File:Blast-o-Matic GG DK64 cutscene.png|thumb|K. Rool asking his chief technician on the Blast-o-Matic's progress]]
+Prior to the game's events, [[Snide]] was the lead technician for the Blast-o-Matic, but was fired because K. Rool did not trust him.<ref>{{cite|quote=I was the chief technician on the project, but that double-crossing lizard kicked me off [[Kremling Krew|his team]] because he didn't trust me.|author=[[Snide]]|title=''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''|publisher=Nintendo|date=1999}}</ref> Snide had lost access to the weapon's [[blueprint]]s, which K. Rool split apart and handed a piece to each of the [[Kasplat]]s.
+During the game itself, the Blast-o-Matic is first seen during the opening scene, where K. Rool is headed to [[DK Isles]], plotting to blast it with the Blast-o-Matic. However, as Crocodile Isle steers quickly on the water, it hits a rock, breaking the Blast-o-Matic. The Kremlings work on repairing the machine for a large portion of the [[Kong]]s' adventure, having stolen [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]]s and kidnapped [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], and [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] to buy time to do so. A cutscene shown when entering [[Gloomy Galleon]] for the first time shows K. Rool telling a Kritter, the Blast-o-Matic's new chief technician, that he trusts the Blast-o-Matic to almost be ready for activation. The Kritter says the machine is unfinished, and in response, K. Rool sends out [[Klaptrap]] guards to ensure that the Kritters do not escape until they finish repairing the machine. A cutscene shown when first entering [[Creepy Castle]] features a Kasplat trying to escape from Crocodile Isle in hopes that K. Rool does not discover the Kongs recovering the blueprints to the Blast-o-Matic, also deeming it a "stupid machine". When entering [[Hideout Helm]], the Kongs set off the Isle's alarm system, forcing K. Rool to activate the weapon, ignoring the chief technician who begs for a few more hours to fully test it before firing, fearing that the Blast-o-Matic may explode and destroy them all. The Blast-o-Matic has to be deactivated within the time limit, which varies depending on how many blueprints that the Kongs have recovered for Snide (one minute for each blueprint, up to a total of 50 minutes). Deactivating the machine requires each Kong to complete two [[Bonus Barrel]] challenges just outside their corresponding power source. Failure to shut down the Blast-o-Matic in time (or choosing "Quit Game" from the Pause Menu) results in a Game Over cinematic where K. Rool laughs madly and presses a few buttons to activate the Blast-o-Matic. The sequence stops while it is pointed at DK Isles.
+The Blast-o-Matic was named the "Super Gun" in a [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|prototype build]] of ''Donkey Kong 64''.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script#Snide|Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=June 9, 2017}}</ref>
+===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
+===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
+The Blast-o-Matic is mentioned in K. Rool's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
+===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
+[[File:SSBU Crocodile Isle.png|thumb|The Blast-o-Matic as seen in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'']]
+The Blast-o-Matic appears as K. Rool's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', essentially as a recreation of the Game Over sequence from ''Donkey Kong 64'' down to K. Rool having to press the button multiple times while laughing maniacally before it fires; only this time, the results of him firing the cannon are actually shown. It is also a Legend-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} that occupies one support slot. When used, the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] increases the damage a fighter can deal to giant opponents in battle. It can be purchased from Sheldon's Place for 10,000 Spirit Points.

-Failure to shut down the Blast-o-Matic (or selecting the "Quit Game" option from the pause menu) results in a cinematic of K. Rool laughing as the Blast-o-Matic prepares to fire at Donkey Kong Island.
 ==Trivia==
-*The Blast-o-Matic is mentioned in K. Rool's [[trophy]] description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
+*Elements of the Blast-o-Matic's design resemble the [[jiggywikki:Big-O-Blaster|Big-O-Blaster]] from ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'', and even had a similar purpose and naming convention. As both ''Donkey Kong 64'' and ''Banjo Tooie'' were created by Rare within the same time period, the similarity was most likely intentional.
