- Gizmo's Promotional Poster[1]
Gizmo is a Fighter from the Gremlins Universe in MultiVersus. He was teased on September 1st, 2022 and was fully revealed and released on September 8th, 2022 (originally slated to release two days early), during the Open Beta period.[2]
Origin
Gizmo is a cute and kind Mogwai as well as one of the main protagonists of the Gremlins franchise. Originally owned by the Chinese antique shop owner Mr. Sam Wing, Gizmo now resides in New York alongside his new owners, Billy and Kate Peltzer. He's a big fan of the Rambo series, and has helped Billy defeat the evil Gremlins every time they tried bringing chaos upon their city.
Official Biography
Website
Heroic Mogwai Warrior
When Gizmo heard that his malevolent off-spring Stripe had been pulled into the battle for the Multiverse, he followed immediately to stop him. Gizmo has always been a hero: Whether it was helping save Kingston Falls, averting the disaster at the Clamp Center, or any of the other adventures from his (surprisingly long) life, he has always been an unlikely protector of the innocent. With his box of tricks and mystical singing, he’s sure to throw a wrench in the works.[3]
In-Game
Heroic Mogwai Warrior. Adorableness Incarnate.
Gizmo loves sharing his toys and helping his friends on the battlefield. He especially loves finding ways to mess up the other team's plans!

BEEP BEEP! Gizmo hops in and drives a toy car around, ramming it into enemies. He can exit by jumping or dodging, sending the car forward. Allies can drive the car around if no one is already driving. If Gizmo enters the car using his Up Special, it will overheat and launch forward. The car will explode shortly thereafter or if it crashes. Once the car is destroyed, COOLDOWN applies. |

| UP 🡅 + K |
GIZMO-A-GO-GO Gizmo leaps upward. If an ally is nearby and in front of him, he will leap towards them and attach himself and CLEANSE them. While attached, Gizmo can still perform attacks but will take a percentage of the DAMAGE his ally takes. Gizmo can jump to detach himself. If Gizmo hits an enemy with his dash, he will bounce upward off them. Gizmo can also dash to the car sumoned by his Grounded Side Special. |

1.05 Mid-Season Patch
Gizmo’s balance has looked much better after his nerfs in the 1.02 patch. We are hoping to address a few lingering issues with his arrow and car gameplay before we let the dust settle for a bit.

- Air/Ground Up Special
- ~ Increased attach radius to 575 units from 250 units; Gizmo should have an easier time snapping to his car or his allies without needing to precisely aim the attack
Gizmo’s maneuverability and size make him incredibly difficult to pin down. His movement combined with his incredibly strong zoning game make it nearly impossible for some characters to ever get the edge against him. These changes should help bring Gizmo’s evasiveness more in line with the cast so it’s easier for other characters to get up close and punish.
