'''Bomb''' ({{ja|ボム|Bomu}}, ''Bomb'') is [[Samus]] and [[Dark Samus]]'s [[down special move]].

 

In ''Super Smash Bros'', bombs deal 9% fresh and 7% [[stale]].  

Bombing while in mid-air causes Samus to go into Morph Ball mode, and slows down her fall. Thus, in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, Samus can use the [[bomb recovery]] technique, which consists of repeatedly using bomb while holding towards the stage to increase the distance of her recovery, although in ''Smash 64'' this takes away her midair jump if she has not already used it. In ''Melee'', bombing twice consecutively in the air will cause Samus to pop upward from the first bomb, giving her near-infinite horizontal recovery. This is reputedly possible in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but is less efficient.

In ''Brawl'', however, Samus is capable of also using her bombs to perform the Spider Ball technique. To perform, run off the edge of the stage or platform and immediately activate the bomb, then direct Samus back onto solid ground as she hops into the air. This will drop the bomb directly against the ledge of the stage, which may be used in edgeguarding.

 

 

Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:

# '''Slip Bomb''': Bombs cause opponents to trip but deal very little damage. Samus also falls slightly slower when used in the air and re-emerges closer to the bomb on the ground. Meteor smashes airborne opponents. {{Main|Samus (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 1}}

# '''Mega Bomb''': Explodes in a much larger blast after several seconds, limited to one on the stage at a time. Samus also falls slightly faster when used in the air. The bombs bounce on the ground when used in the air. Very little utility. {{Main|Samus (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 1}}

Bombs have been standard in all {{uv|Metroid}} games and are a common tool for puzzle solving. In many ''Metroid'' games, Samus can use the explosion from a laid bomb to launch herself up if she is in Morph Ball mode. This is usually required for certain jumps into tight spaces only the Morph Ball mode can traverse through. Due to their low damage output, bombs are a weapon of last resort. Unlike their appearance in the ''Metroid'' games, bombs are affected by gravity in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, in that they fall to the ground rather than staying stationary if laid in the air.

In the first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, the appearance of the Morph Ball is derived from the original ''Metroid'' due to its lack of spiral patterns, although it gains a more detailed design in ''Brawl''. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', its design is based on its appearance in ''Metroid: Other M'', thus keeping in line with Samus's overall design from that same game.

The Mega Bomb customization is based off the Power Bomb that debuted in ''Super Metroid''. Unlike the regular bombs, the Power Bomb is capable of inflicting significant damage to anything in its blast radius, but at the cost of having a limited ammunition supply and forcing Samus to use one at a time.

===Dark Samus===

Dark Samus' Morph Ball first appears in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' and later reappears in its sequel. In both appearances, she uses the Boost Ball and is able to generate massive amounts of kinetic energy at once, that propels her around the area at shocking speeds. However, because Dark Samus is an [[Clone|echo fighter]] of Samus, the Morph Ball will instead lay bombs, something that Dark Samus has not been shown to achieve.

The appearance of Dark Samus' Morph Ball is also different from the original. In ''Echoes'', the Morph Ball has a more organic design and a jagged surface, and the center is an eye.
