Hurricane Kick: Kurokishi's normal desperation attack and Girulian's horizonal basic special attack.

Later on, the heroes can break an amusement park model, only to interrupt two mooks getting hanky panky. In the first level, some mooks are trying to build a card pyramid before the heroes unceremoniously destroys it by bursting through the wall.
