[[File:Ssbmbowser4.jpg|thumb|left|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 Bomb becomes a [[stall-then-fall]] move; instead of leaping upwards, Bowser immediately transitions into 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''.

In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', 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. In ''Ultimate'', the [[perfect shield]] mechanic changes make it much easier to escape, as a perfect shield against the first or second hits give more than enough time for a player to escape. However, doing this on reaction can be difficult.

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}} (itself a reoccurring move in the ''Mario'' franchise) 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 uses a similar move in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Princess Peach}}''.

*Strangely, CPUs in ''Melee'' are programmed to dodge 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.

*If the diagonal leap of a grounded Bowser Bomb triggers a [[Counter]] from an opponent on the same elevation, Bowser will jump over the counterattack.
