==Overview==
==Overview==
Bowser headbutts opponents with his horns before preforming his ground pound attack from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The first notable quality of Bowser Bomb is its tremendous [[shield]] damage, breaking even full shields if both ground hits connect. This can be effective at any precent, as Bowser can KO at 0% on a shield break thanks to his tipper [[Bowser (SSBU)/Neutral special|Flame Breath]] and strong [[Bowser (SSBU)/Forward smash|Forward Smash]]. Additionally, the move can be used to snap to ledge, regardless if Bowser is facing the ledge while making the move difficult to challenge due to its strong hitbox.
However, despite these great traits, Bowser Bomb has sluggish startup in the air, making it difficult to set up shield breaks with due to the aerial version being reactable and susceptible to [[Perfect shield|Perfect shielding]]. Additionally, using the move to KO is generally not a good idea, as Bowser has no shortage of powerful KO options such as [[Bowser (SSBU)/Back aerial|Back aerial]] and [[Bowser (SSBU)/Forward tilt|Forward tilt]]. Additionally, the scooping hitbox only lasts for a single frame, meaning that the scoop hitbox can be whiffed easily, with the move being very unsafe due to its sizable ending lag. While the move does have a [[Meteor smash]] hitbox when Bowser starts falling, it is outclassed in setting up edgeguards and [[Sacrificial KO|kamikazes]] due to [[Bowser (SSBU)/Down aerial|Down aerial]] being faster and having a longer meteor window.
As a result, Bowser Bomb is seldom used in competitive play due to it's sluggish startup in the air making it hard to shieldbreak with. The main use for the move is as a ledge grab option, which is a rather shallow niche.
