Buu rips off his head (don't worry, he instantly regrows a new one)
and tosses it onto the ground in a small puddle of Buu goo. Depending on the button strength used to activate the move,
after hitting the ground the goo moves either backwards (LP), stays in the center of the screen (MP) or moves to the far side of the screen (SP).
It will remain there, lurking. You can't throw out another one of these Gum Heads.
By repeating the same command, you can make a Gum Head perform a certain action:
-RDP+LP - The head flies back towards Buu, biting along the way. The opponent can get hit by this guy. The head can even absorb
a few hits when returning to Buu.
-RDP+MP - The head bursts up vertically into a slimey pillar of goo, hitting a few times if the opponent is close enough to it.
-RDP+SP - Buu teleports to the head's location and instantly performs a Meltdown Kick upon reappearing.
The EX version of Gum Header is now the Candy Beam (detailed below). You can use a Candy Beam to change a Gum Head into candy, as a fourth option of using them.
Doing so refills a bit of your health as well as fills a portion of your Super and (if you're in Hunger Mode) Hunger bars.
