Finn Palmer is the main antagonist of the Pete the Cheerful Bus Driver series. He is a grumpy, unscrupulous and slightly odd teenager who is a regular passenger on Pete's bus. He is easily annoyed by pretty much everything, but he strongly dislikes Pete and all of his jokes the most. He has also been known to conjure lightning when angered enough.
How to unlock[]
Clear Classic Mode as Pete the Cheerful Bus Driver.
Entrance: The Grump catches me![]
Finn minds his own business watching the stage on a seat but then turns his head to the battle and raises his fist yelling "Hey, I'm Grump!"
Move Origin[]
In Finn catches me!, Finn Palmer is sitting on a seat but then he turns his head round to see what the funky business is going on. The "Hey, I'm Grump!" part is just a reference to the Game Grumps, because Finn is a grump.
Neutral B: Mimic Explosion[]
Finn makes an explosion sound with his lips which causes actual damage. He can sometimes spit as an attack during this move. Before 30 seconds after that explosion, Finn will make a grumpy reaction every time a different explosion happens because he gets paranoid that the opponent is copying his imitation to annoy him.
If another explosion is loud enough, Finn will get a teacher to grab hold of the exploder who made that noise. It works the same way as a fighter's grab move, the more damage you have, the longer the teacher can grab him or her for.
Move Origin[]
At school, Finn made explosion sounds to himself. If anyone else made explosion sounds, it instantly annoyed him, thinking he or she was imitating him. If he got too annoyed, he would tell a teacher on them and then that teacher followed the perpretrator and give them a talk.
Side B: Play Chase[]
Finn runs to the closest opponent on the stage causing damage to them when he touches them. Unfortunately, Finn can't change direction during the chase. If the closest opponent is far away from Finn, Finn will force himself to run into another solid thing on the stage, for example, a wall and gets himself damaged.
If there is nothing solid on the stage at all, Finn will just run forward for 2 seconds and stop.
Move Origin[]
Occasionally in axhool, Finn had moments of mania by running around the school playing making weird noises. It seemed as though he was pretending to chase someone.
Up B: Peek Up Tom[]
Finn holds a climbing board up as an attack. Tilt up on the controller and Finn will climb up the climbing board. If you do this in midair, the board will drop down so be careful. Tap the A button while on the climbing board to do a stunning evil laugh like CD-I Bowser's. Tap the B button while on to hop off it. You can also move down while on the board to cancel it and it drops down as an attack.
Move Origin[]
One time, when Jack Mayhew and Toby Grady annoyed Finn from behind the climbing board, Finn would follow them when he found out where they are. He once climbed on the climbing board and tried to teach them a lesson.
Down B: A Plinkyplonkysaurus![]
A crane arrives on the stage to carry Finn. After hanging Finn, move the crane and it will announce its obnoxious name which annoys Finn enough to cause him to slap anyone in front of him. Attack and destroy the crane or hit Finn a few times to free him.
Move Origin[]
One time, Pete saw a crane (the vehicle) and pretended it was a dinosaur and called it a "Plinkyplonkysaurus". Since it isn't a dinosaur at all and it's a ridiculous name, Finn got annoyed at Pete and anytime someone said that name from now on, they'd get into trouble.
Final Smash: Telling the Teachers![]
Finn runs off the stage and tells the teachers on the opponents. After that, the teachers immediately run from one end of the screen to another in a horizontal direction. If they touch someone, they will drag them right off the stage, KO'ing them. If they touch someone when they've already caught someone else, they will only stun them. After they disappear, Finn will return where he activated the smash.
Move Origin[]
This was usually the last straw in which someone continued to annoy Finn enough to make him tell on the teachers. Unfortunately, he found out it is best to tell Tim Carter out of all teachers because he was the one who knows how to deal with students the most.

Angry Boss: Another Grump? This punk better not be trying to steal my thunder!
Jeremy: But Watch Out! He Will Catch You In The Act
Angry Boss: Seriously? What is this guy, a cop or something?
Jeremy: No, he's a guy who really made his name for his moments on Pete's bus. And he is quite persuasive too, as he mostly likes to Tell The Teachers.
