The player must press either the, button, or both to charge up their power meter. When Clay or Ace makes contact with the Tacklebot, they will inflict more damage, depending on the level of their power meter. Tacklebot will also charge in the same way, which can stun the player. Tacklebot will also launch projectiles from Level 2 onwards, which the player blocks by holding left on the. Tacklebot will also block, reducing the amount of damage he takes considerably.

Tacklebot has 100HP in all three levels, but takes less damage, depending on the level. Tacklebot is silver in Level 1, green in Level 2, red in Level 3, and a mix of yellow, red and blue in Challenge level. Its design is based on a sumo wrestler. In Level 3, the player can damage Tacklebot enough to reveal its robotic innards. Tacklebot will lose its entire outer shell during Challenge level.
