{{SSBM|Bowser}} performs an upward-swinging headbutt. While extremely slow, up aerial is equally strong, KOing fighters very early. Due to the sheer damage of the attack, it has a lot of [[hitstun]]. Thanks to this and the average base [[knockback]], it can also be used during combos to rack up damage on fast fallers such as {{SSBM|Fox}} at lower percentages. This often leads to three, possibly four hits when using platforms to extend. This is set up using [[Koopa Klaw]]'s forward throw | {{SSBM|Bowser}} performs an upward-swinging headbutt.

Getting consistent [[L-cancel]]s is crucial to the move's success, as the landing lag is extremely high otherwise, leading to a complete loss in combo utility and often a punish. The 3 active frames makes it a bit easier to land, though not by much. | ||
However, outside of the utility outlined, up aerial is severely encumbered by the lag. This makes the move very situational to land if not set up for properly, making Bowser's juggling game weak. This is compounded by his very slow jumpsquat. The move is also among the easiest to punish on whiff in the game due to its high endlag and landing lag, relying on an autocancel or good L-cancel to escape. If it misses, it could well be a loss of advantage state on its own, making it very high risk with only decent reward. Due to these flaws, Bowser's up aerial is considered to be among the worst in the game. | However, outside of the utility outlined, up aerial is severely encumbered by the lag.
