==Overview==
==Overview==
A side kick that is similar in appearance to {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}’s dash attack. It has decent damage output and solid base knockback; however, it also has unusually poor knockback scaling and poor KOing ability compared to Bowser's other moves (and even compared to the dash attacks of other heavyweights), not KOing until at least 225% on {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.
A sidekick that’s similar to {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}’s dash attack. It has good [[knockback]] statistics, KOing at around 225% in {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. It launches opponents at an 80° [[angle]] and has solid active frames, which makes for a decent juggle setup, though even at 0% it's -5 on hit, giving the opponent the initiative. It's also very susceptible to being [[punish]]ed on whiff, while not having favourable cross-ups on [[shield]], so [[Bowser (SSBU)/Grab|dash grab]], pivot cancelled {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBU|forward tilt}}, and short hop {{Bowser (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial}} tend to be used more often as they outclass the move greatly in kill power and speed.
 
It launches opponents at a vertical 80° [[angle]] and has solid active frames, which makes for a somewhat decent juggle setup, although it is -5 on hit at 0%. Due to the move's high ending lag, it lacks any true followup options in spite of its low knockback scaling and vertical launch angle, and is also very susceptible to being [[punish]]ed on whiff, while not being very safe on [[shield]] even if he somehow crosses up a shielding opponent with it. As a result of its minimal KO power and nonexistent true combo ability, Bowser's dash attack is often avoided by players where possible in favor of his other moves, such as his [[Bowser (SSBU)/Grab|dash grab]], pivot-canceled {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBU|forward tilt}}, {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBU|down tilt}}, {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBU|neutral attack}} and short hop [[Bowser (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]].
