The Gold Dynamo Roller is another roller I designed. It boasts the same power as the standard S Weapon Main Dynamo Roller.png Dynamo Roller! I think the Dynamo Roller's offensive power nicely complements the reliable S Weapon Sub Splat Bomb.png Splat Bombs and S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png Inkstrike! Combine them all, and your attacks will hit home with unprecedented force! Your foes will flee before you!(NA)[a]

Use the S2 Weapon Sub Splat Bomb.png Splat Bombs to flush out your foes, putting them at the mercy of your roller!
