It has an attack power of 50 points, with a deviation of five points. Functionally, it is similar to a hammer, though instead of a second strike, it opens up when a timed hit is performed.

She earlier uses a different, pink one to sneak out of Mushroom Castle; Mario is later shown using this one (or another of the same color) when Mallow is reunited with his mother and father. In the Nintendo Switch remake, this parasol is updated to its modern design, and it is used to form a large shield barrier in the Triple Move if Mario, Peach and Geno are in the party.
