Min Min is a playable fighter in ARMS. She is a martial artist who battles to promote her family's ramen restaurant, the Mintendo Noodle House.
Appearance
Min Min appears mostly human except for her spiraled irises and her ramen-like hair and ARMS. She has green eyes, blonde hair with straight-cut bangs and a fringe, along with an orange mask. Slices of narutomaki (a Japanese processed fish product sometimes found in ramen) are attached to the upper part of her noodle arms. When fully charged, her left noodle arm transforms into a dragon. She wears an orange beanie shaped like an upside-down ramen bowl, an orange athletic shirt, orange athletic shorts, black calf-length leggings, and green sneakers. Other outfits she wears includes a chef-like version of her outfit consisting of an orange shirt with a small bowtie on the collar, matching shorts and orange leggings as well as an apron with her logo on it and black flat shoes, a white sweater revealing blue bra or undershirt straps and blue jeans along with two of her badges pinned to her hat, as well as a dark orange kimono with white fur on the top, a yellow bow in the back, and a pair of black zōri (Japanese sandals) with orange straps. She's also shown to wear her hair in a ponytail with a green hairband and into a loose bun held by a green chopstick with a narutomaki on it.
Backstory
"A member of ramen royalty, she hails from the famed Mintendo Noodle House! Her spicy kicks are known to knock down her opponents' attacks. Can her fiery personality bring the championship belt home to her family's restaurant?!" —Official description
Abilities
Min Min can execute a kick when dashing backwards on the ground or in any direction while in the air which knocks down oncoming attacks. By charging her ARMS for longer than usual or successfully completing a throw, Min Min can transform her left arm into a dragon. While in dragon form, the equipped ARM will significantly increase in size and remain charged indefinitely until Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or has the left arm disabled, losing the dragon arm.
Playstyle
Min Min's dragon ARM becomes permanently charged unless she's knocked down. This means that she is able to constantly put mobile pressure, that for other characters would be limited to only a few seconds. Players should use her deflect kicks to deny knockdowns, while being using her charge ARM to bully and harass the opponent constantly, whether up close or at range.
ARM Recommendations
ARMS that put on notable amounts of pressure and control when charged fit the Ramen Bomber well, because she almost always has a charged ARM. These are good choices:
In Competitive Play
Min Min is often considered to be near the middle of competitive viability, though some have considered her somewhere closer to low high-tier.

Trivia
- Min Min was announced during a Nintendo Direct on April 12th, 2017.
- As her theme suggests, Min Min speaks Chinese and her logo is a stylized version of the Chinese character "麺" (lit. men), meaning "noodle."
- Min Min is the only fighter to be shown with two different ARMS in her official art. This is perhaps to demonstrate her dragon-arm ability.
- She has the smallest ARM girth in the game, the biggest belonging to Kid Cobra.
- It is revealed in a match by Biff that Min Min is a bit jealous of Ribbon Girl's rising and fame, however, they both seem to show their cool to each other and both share a lot of fame.
- The Mintendo Noodle House's name is a portmanteau of "Min Min" and "Nintendo."
- On the Japanese version of the ARMS website, Min Min's weight is listed as "On a diet", rather than "Unimportant".
- Min Min is the first fighter to both win a Party Crash and lose one (Stretch to the Limit and Martial Arts Mash-Up respectively).
- Min Min is the first fighter to be featured in three Party Crashes.
- Min Min was crowned the ultimate victor of the Party Crash Bash tournament after a victory against Ninjara on June 17th, 2019.
- In her reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Min Min is seen without her mask in a first for any ARMS fighters (excluding Mechanica and Dr. Coyle); until she puts the mask on, she has normal human arms and lacks the signature spiraled irises, indicating that she toggles her, and implicitly other fighters', access to these traits by choice. Kosuke Yabuki explained to Masahiro Sakurai ARMS fighters are neither cyborgs or mutants, but people who possess the ARMS ability.
- Min Min is a heavyweight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 104 units, equivalent to Link, Yoshi, Captain Falcon, and Mii Gunner. However, weight in the Smash Bros. series sometimes differs from fighters' origin games and could be unofficial.
