Bowser retreats into his shell, becoming fully [[intangible]], before spinning along the ground backwards in a manner similar to the animation of his {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBM|down smash}}. The move is the worst back roll in all of ''Melee'': while it has the median [[start-up]] and number of intangibility [[frame]]s, it has the 2nd-highest [[end lag]] of any back roll (only behind {{mvsub|Samus|SSBM|back roll|poss=y}}), and the [[Roll#Back_rolls|shortest distance traveled]]. Even if it did not have such horrible stats, Bowser has a far superior [[out of shield]] and escape option in the form of grounded [[Bowser (SSBM)/Up special|Whirling Fortress]], which grants Bowser frame-1 intangibility while also putting out a hitbox, and can even have its end lag cancelled by [[Fortress hogging]]. This all leaves Bowser's back roll with no practical use, making it an ''avoid-at-all-cost'' move.
