[[File:Luigi back throw Brawl.jpg|thumb|250px|Luigi's back throw in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
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.

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==
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==
*[[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 ''SSB4'' 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.
*{{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 ''SSB4'', 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.
*[[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.
*[[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.
*[[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|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s back throw is very similar to Mario's but stronger.
*{{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.
*In ''[[Melee]]'', {{SSBM|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.
*[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s back throw and forward throw are identitcal.
*[[Ken]], [[Pikachu]], and [[Pichu]]'s back throws allow them to travel a great distance backwards, allowing for great stage control.
