{{incomplete|Needs descriptions for ''Ultimate'' table}}
A '''back throw''' ({{ja|後投げ|Ato nage}}, ''Rear/back throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''b-throw''' or '''Bthrow''', and referred to as '''ThrowB''' internally) is a [[throw]] performed by tilting the [[control stick]] opposite to the direction the character is facing after having [[grab]]bed the opponent.
[[File:Luigi back throw Brawl.jpg|thumb|300px|Luigi's back throw in ''Brawl''.]]
A '''back throw''' ({{ja|後投げ|Ato nage}}, ''Rear/back throw'') is a [[throw]] performed by pressing backwards on the [[control stick]] or [[D-pad]] after having [[grab]]bed an enemy. These throws rarely lead to combos, but typically have good [[knockback]] (often more than [[forward throw]]s) and thus can be used to throw enemies off the edge to be [[edge-guard]]ed. In ''[[Smash 64]]'', all back throws have very high [[knockback]] and are viable [[KO]] moves. This trait is carried over to future games.


Back throws rarely lead to combos, but typically have good [[knockback]] (often more than [[forward throw]]s) and thus can be used to set up [[edgeguard]]s or KO opponents near the edges of stages. In ''[[Smash 64]]'', all back throws have very high [[knockback]] and are viable [[KO]] moves, a trait that carries over to many back throws in future games.
==List of back throws in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
{{clr}}
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the best back throwers, similar to [[forward throw]]s, are the characters with a good jab set up and virtually anyone who isn't a tether/extended reach grab. The majority of back throws have incredibly high knockback, being used next to ledges for [[gimp]] opportunities outside of Kirby who has an overall better forward throw. However, low knockback scaling requires them to be followed up by edgeguarding attacks to be used properly. Practically all back throws can be used to combo in the [[rapetent]] portion of Hyrule Castle.

!Character!!Description!!Damage
|-
|{{SSB|Captain Falcon}}||Kicks opponent behind him, Very high power and easy to set up. Used at high percents, as his forward throw is used for combos or a mid-percents by an edge.||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Donkey Kong}}||With one hand, throws opponent very strongly behind him. Strongest backwards KO throw in ''Smash 64'', and is also a very fast throw. Moderately easy to set up, usually done using [[Z-cancel]]led aerials.||18%
|-
|{{SSB|Fox}}||Throws the opponent behind him by tumbling. Good power, can be followed up with a [[SHL]]. Very easy to set up, with a [[jab cancel]], [[Blaster]] shot, down aerial, up tilt, etc. as well as a [[jab grab]].||15%
|-
|{{SSB|Jigglypuff}}||Back suplexes the opponent, similar to Kirby's. Moderately good power, moderately easy to set up, but forward throw is usually much more useful at lower percentages.||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Kirby}}||Slams opponent onto the ground behind him. It is similar to {{s|wikirby|Backdrop}} and the Big Suplex move from Super Star's {{s|wikirby|Suplex}}. Considered a worse throw than the forward throw, as it is hard to followup from and also has a bit of [[ending lag]].||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Link}}||Kicks opponent behind him. Moderately high knockback. Moderately difficult to set up.||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Luigi}}||Same as Mario's, but stronger in terms of knockback. More difficult to set up due to a inferior [[down aerial]] and [[jab]].||12%
|-
|{{SSB|Mario}}||Spins with the grabbed opponent some circles and throws them. Can KO at medium to high percentages. Can be set up with a down aerial, [[jab cancel]]s, or a jab grab.||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Ness}}||Using psychic power, lifts the foe in a mid-circle above him, then throws behind him. A very strong throw with high knockback but only moderate range. ||16%
|-
|{{SSB|Pikachu}}||Puts the foe on its back, zaps him and throws him back. Very high knockback, easily set up by up tilt, late neutral aerial, and jab grab.||18%
|-
|{{SSB|Samus}}||Throws opponent behind her using her [[Grapple Beam]]. High power, can be set up by a fully charged [[Charge Shot]] (just before the opponent takes the knockback) or a down aerial.||18%
|-
|{{SSB|Yoshi}}||Spits the enemy backwards. A moderately weak throw with low knockback compared to other throws. Difficult to set up. Considered the worst back throw in ''Smash 64''.||16%

==List of back throws==
==List of back throws in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
Back throws with hitboxes consist of two or more hits on the grabbed opponent (the hitbox, then the throw), and can affect other opponents near the thrower. Additionally, some back throws may possess a '''collateral hitbox''', which affects nearby opponents but not the victim of the throw. Unless stated otherwise, all back throws have the attacker put the opponent behind themselves in some way.

==Notable back throws==
==List of back throws in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
[[File:Pichu Back Throw.jpg|thumb|{{SSBU|Pichu}}'s back throw in ''Ultimate''.]]
{|class="wikitable"
*[[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Mii Gunner]]'s back throws are the only ones to release [[projectile]]s, in the form of lasers that can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed. Fox fires three lasers that cause no knockback, much like those of [[Blaster (Fox)|his neutral special]]; likewise, Falco in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' fires three lasers that cause weak knockback. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Falco and Mii Gunner instead fire a single laser that deals much more knockback, with both throws being capable of KOing near the edge at high percentages.
!Character
*{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s back throw in ''Melee'' causes him to functionally leave the ground, and can be used for a [[Kirbycide]]. However, it is one of the only two standard throws in the series that can be escaped without receiving external knockback (the other being his forward throw). From ''Brawl'' onward, this is no longer the case. From ''Smash 4'', its knockback was altered giving it more knockback scaling but less base knockback, so it is better both for combos at low percents and KOing at high percents.
!Description
*[[Corrin]]'s back throw possesses a [[tipper]] hitbox that only affects nearby opponents, and can KO considerably earlier than the throw itself. This is also the case for forward throw.
!Damage
*[[Ness]]'s back throw in all games except ''Smash 64'' is the opposite of his [[forward throw]], possessing very low base knockback, but very high knockback scaling, making it noticeably more powerful at high percentages than most other back throws. It is the strongest back throw in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', and one of the strongest throws overall, KOing under 140% from the center of [[Final Destination]].
|-
**{{SSB4|Villager}}'s back throw in ''Smash 4'', as well as {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s in ''Ultimate'', have similar properties, although they are slightly weaker.
|{{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}} ||N/A ||N/A
*[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Dr. Mario]]'s back throws are among the strongest in all of their appearances. Their absolute strongest appearance is in ''Smash 64'' (specifically the Japanese version in Luigi's case) although they are still relatively strong in later games. Mario and Dr. Mario's in ''Melee'', Luigi's in ''Brawl'' and Dr. Mario's in ''Ultimate'' can all KO under 110% near the edge.
|-
**Mario’s back throw also appears to be based on his battles with [[Bowser]] in ''Super Mario 64'', where he grabs Bowser by the tail and spins him around until he throws him. This applies to both Luigi and Dr. Mario in all of their appearances up until ''Ultimate''.
|{{SSBU|Bayonetta}} ||Performs a roundhouse kick. KO's Mario at roughly 176% at the edge of Final Destination. ||3% (kick), 6% (throw)
**{{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s back throw is very similar to Mario's but stronger.
|-
**Additionally, [[Pac-Man]], {{SSBU|Byleth}}, and {{SSBU|Sora}} spin around once.
|{{SSBU|Bowser}} ||Throws the opponent behind him. KO’s Mario at roughly 108% at the edge of Final Destination.||10% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
*{{SSBU|Incineroar}}'s back throw in ''Ultimate'' is the strongest in the game at the edge, KOing under 100%, which slightly outpowers even Ness's back throw at the edge of Final Destination. Due to its lower knockback scaling, however, it KOs slightly later than Ness's back throw if used from center-stage or if DIed.
|-
*In ''[[Smash 64]]'', {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}, and {{SSB|Samus}} have the most damaging back throws in the series, dealing 18% with DK's being the strongest throw in the game.
|{{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}} ||Spins around and throws the opponent behind him. KO’s Mario at roughly 125% at the edge of Final Destination.||11%
*[[Mewtwo]]'s back throw is very powerful and is considered one of its best finishers, KOing at around 100% near the edge.
|-
*[[Charizard]]'s back throw in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' has almost no [[ending lag]] (only 4 [[frame]]s in ''Smash 4'', and 7 frames in ''Ultimate''), allowing it to combo into aerial attacks from low to mid percentages. If the opponent's [[air dodge]] or jump is successfully [[read]], it can even lead to an aerial [[Flare Blitz]] and KO at low percentages near the edge.
|{{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} ||Kicks the opponent behind him. KO's Mario at roughly 116% at the edge of Final Destination. ||7.5%
*[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s back throw and forward throw are identical.
|-
*[[Ken]], [[Pikachu]] (as of ''Melee''), and [[Pichu]]'s back throws allow them to travel a great distance backwards, allowing for great stage control.
|{{SSBU|Charizard}} ||Throws the opponent behind it using its mouth. KO’s Mario at roughly 120% at the edge of Final Destination. ||10%

|{{SSBU|Chrom}} ||Identical to Roy’s ||5%
