Notes
- Prevents your opponent from attacking you for 3-4 rounds of combat.
- While in effect, each round of combat (including the first) will display the message:

Your opponent gets back up and takes a deep breath.
References
- The last line in the description is a direct quote from the Peter Gabriel song Games Without Frontiers, in which it is preceded by the line "it's a knockout".
- This item is a reference to the recreational use of Nitrous Oxide (which are known as "whip-its"), which is too cold to be inhaled directly but can be released into a balloon first. Popular among hippies during the '60s.
- Nitrous Oxide is also known as "laughing gas," which explains the last bit of the Use text
