Dillon (ジロー,Jiro) is the main protagonist fromDillon's Rolling Western.

Origin[edit]

Dillon attacking an enemy inDillon's Rolling Western.

Dillon is the titular silent protagonist in theDillon's Rolling Western series. The series has been a cross between Tower Defense and standard action games, having day sections, committed to tower building and mining, and dusk phases, where Dillon must protect a village from having its livestock being eaten by rock monsters called Grocks. Primarily, when in battle, he uses a combination of rolling into enemies, slashing at them with claws, or rapidly rotating against them whilst wearing metal spikes.

InSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As anAssist Trophy[edit]

Dillon appears as an Assist Trophy in this game. He appears and tips his hat once before performing rolling attacks several times. His first few attacks have him charging up with a red tint, which does multiple 4% hits before he recoils back. His last attack is tinted yellow, and the charge can trap opponents into the final hit, which deals 18%, high knockback, and sends opponents offscreen along with himself where he disappears. If he falls offstage before the final spin attack, he will teleport back onstage. Like a few other Assist Trophies, he can be defeated by taking enough hits, whereby he falls on his chest defeated.

Dillon has a spawn chance of32/1254. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):

• Jungle Hijinxs
• Midgar
• Suzaku Castle

InSmash Tour[edit]

Dillon appears as a blue item in Smash Tour: when used, it will cause all other players encountered during that turn to be launched.

Trophy[edit]

Dillon's trophy appears in both versions of the game. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of theNintendo DS and Nintendo 3DSTrophy Box.

Only one armadillo can save the village from a Grock invasion, and that's Dillon, a.k.a. the Red Flash. With his trusty claws and roll attacks, he'll take them out one by one. If you summon him to the battle, he'll launch a devastating roll attack and follow it up with his ultimate technique, Arma-Charge, to send foes flying!

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Dillon returns as an Assist Trophy, functioning similarly to how he did inSmash 4, but with some adjustments, most notably the final powerful spin attack is stronger. KOing him gives a point. This time, he is based on his appearance inDillon's Dead-Heat Breakers.

Dillon has a spawn chance of32/2086. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):

• Cloud Sea of Alrest
• Minecraft World
• Suzaku Castle

Trivia[edit]

• Not counting theNintendog (which becomes a completely different individual breed in each installment), Dillon is the only Assist Trophy to receive a substantial aesthetic change in his appearance between installments, as inSSB4 he was based off of his appearance inDillon's Rolling Western and its sequel, while inUltimate, he is based off of hisDillon's Dead-Heat Breakers appearance.
