'''Bowser Bomb''' ({{ja|クッパドロップ|Kuppa Doroppu}}, ''Koopa Drop'') is [[Bowser]]'s [[down special move]].

==Overview==
The Bowser Bomb is a [[stall-then-fall]] move.

==Origin==
[[File:BowserBombSMB3.PNG|thumb|left|Bowser's ground-pound style attack in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
The move is based on Bowser's attack pattern in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' during his final boss battle, where he jumps diagonally forward and does a {{s|supermariowiki|Ground Pound}} while facing the screen to attack [[Mario]], breaking bricks below him. To beat him without power-ups, Mario has to make Bowser break all bricks on an area with the move, causing him to fall downwards into a pit.

Bowser Bomb returned as Mini Bowser's special ability in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge}}''.

==In ''Smash''==
[[File:Ssbmbowser4.jpg|thumb|Bowser Bomb in ''Melee''.]]
If Bowser is on the ground when initiating the move, he will leap forward diagonally, pause briefly, then slam down to the ground with a high-power ground pound. When used in the air, Bowser remains airborne for a short time before landing down with the ground pound. Upon impact, the move produces small [[hitbox]]es in the form of shockwaves at both of Bowser's sides, which cause 8% damage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and 11% damage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', an additional hitbox was added to Bowser during the diagonal jump when used on the ground, dealing 4% damage to anyone it connects with. The [[knockback]] from this hitbox can also combo into the ground pound itself.

In ''Brawl'', Bowser does not get any [[freeze frame]]s when he hits someone while falling, but the falling attack does have freeze frame properties in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

When Bowser lands during the ground pound, he suffers significant [[lag|ending lag]], leaving him defenseless for a short period of time. However, he is still able to grab onto stage edges while falling as long as he is close enough to one, which eliminates the ending lag and also allows for an effective [[edge-guarding]] technique on opponents who are close to the edge while attempting to [[recovery|recover]] or hanging from the edge itself, as long as they are not affected by the initial [[invincibility frame|intangibility]] frames.

In ''SSB4'', Bowser Bomb deals drastically more [[shield damage]], being able to shatter a full [[shield]] if all its hitboxes connect. However, this can be troublesome to perform, as the opponent may slide out of harm's way on the initial hitbox.

Bowser Bomb is shared by [[Giga Bowser]], both in his boss appearance in ''Melee'' and in his [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|playable appearance]] in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. Giga Bowser's variation of the move also features [[Giga Bowser Bomb glitch|a glitch]] in ''Brawl''. In ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Giga Bowser's Bowser Bomb does not get any freeze frames.

===Customization===
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Bowser|Down|name1=Bowser Bomb|desc1=Butt-stomp your enemies. On the ground, you can lift opponents with your horns.|name2=Turbulent Bomb|desc2=Jump up diagonally, and push opponents with a gust of wind when you land.|name3=Slip Bomb|desc3=Drop down and shake the ground, causing nearby opponents to fall over.|altlink3=Slip Bomb (Bowser)}}
# '''Bowser Bomb''': Default.
# '''Turbulent Bomb''' (known as '''Turbulence Bomb''' in the [[PAL]] version): Pushes away anyone next to where the move lands. It does 4% damage rising, 9% damage on slam, and the slam has much weaker knockback. Additionally, when used in the air, the slam can only damage fighters who are in the air; grounded fighters will not be affected. The horizontal range of the vortex extends to about a third of the length of Battlefield. Has increased startup on the ground, and increased landing lag all around.
# '''Slip Bomb''': Causes enemies near the landing location to slip. Doesn't headbutt opponents into the slam when used on the ground, and only deals 18% damage on the slam, and 2% when the enemy is tripped, however the shockwave on landing deals 13% damage at point blank range. Furthermore, both the grounded and aerial variants have less startup and landing lag.

==Edge-canceled Bowser Bomb==
An '''edge-canceled Bowser Bomb''' happens when Bowser uses this move on an edge (while facing either direction). The animation and momentum of the Bowser Bomb is canceled out by the action of Bowser grabbing on to the ledge. This is useful when recovering from above. In ''Ultimate'', the drop will [[meteor smash]] opponents, making for a useful edgeguard tool.

However, this requires precise positioning to successfully grab the edge. This positioning is made even more difficult by the fact that if Bowser is moving horizontally in the air before using Bowser Bomb, Bowser will continue to drift in that direction during the stall portion of the move.

==Trivia==
*Unusually, while CPUs in ''Melee'' rarely shield physical attacks, they have a special programmation for dodging Bowser Bomb at all costs: when using this move against a CPU, it will always [[roll]] away, or [[air dodge]] when airborne. A similar thing happens with his [[up smash]], where CPUs will always air dodge, or roll persistently back and forth when used below a CPU on a platform.
*Bowser Bomb's 2nd custom special, Slip Bomb, shares the same name with the 1st custom move of [[Bomb (Samus)|Samus's down special]].
*Bowser uses a similar move in the final battle in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Princess Peach}}''.
