| | '''Bowser Bomb''' ({{ja|クッパドロップ|Kuppadoroppu}}, ''Koopa Drop'') is [[Bowser]]'s [[down special move]]. If Bowser is in midair when using this move, he slams to the ground with a butt-stomp. If he's on the ground doing this, he will leap forward diagonally before performing the butt-stomp. Unlike [[Yoshi]], whose [[Yoshi Bomb]] will produce disruptive stars upon landing, Bowser will not emit any kind of shockwave upon impact, though he produces small, weaker hitboxes at both of his sides for a moment. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bowser gains some [[super armor]] and can lightly [[damage]] enemies with his head at the start-up of the move. Note that in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this move can be used to [[combo]] opponents. The diagonal [[jump]] when used on the ground deals 4% damage, with diagonal knockback that links onto the next hit, then the landing deals 20% damage. The small "shockwave" at Bowser's sides also deals 8% damage with minimal vertical knockback, though it can't stack up with the other hitboxes. |

|
| '''Bowser Bomb''' ({{ja|クッパドロップ|Kuppa Doroppu}}, ''Koopa Drop'') is [[Bowser]]'s [[down special move]].
| | The Bowser Bomb is also good for [[edgeguard]]ing. If Bowser does it in the air and just brushes the edge, he will grab on making good for edgeguarding. This technique is good to use on people trying to [[recovery|recover]]. Also by doing this, instead of suffering [[lag]] from landing on the ground, the player can just grab the [[edge]]. Bowser can also use it on someone who is hanging on the edge and he will knock them off it and he will grab on instead. It is unsure whether the player has to hold the direction on the [[control stick|analog stick]] according to what side the edge is on or if they can just Bowser Bomb and he will automatically grab on. In ''Melee'', CPUs often use this move to attack foes below them when airborne, or when on a higher part of a slope. |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | This special attack is shared by [[Giga Bowser]], both in his boss appearance in ''Melee'' and in his [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|playable appearance]] in ''Brawl''. Giga Bowser's variation on the move also features [[Giga Bowser Bomb glitch|a glitch.]] |
| [[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''.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Bowser does not get any [[freeze frame]]s when he hits someone while falling. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | ==Customization== |
| | Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations: |
| | # '''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. The horizontal range of the vortex extends to about a third of the length of Battlefield. |
| | # '''Slip Bomb''': Causes enemies near the landing location to slip. Doesn't do any damage on rising, 18% damage on the slam, and 4% when the enemy is tripped. Aside from those differences, very similar to the base move, being shield-damaging, goes through projectiles, and good knock back. |

| 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'', featuring much higher knockback and larger shockwaves. Giga Bowser's variation of the move also features [[#Giant Bowser falling glitch|a glitch]] in ''Brawl''. In ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Giga Bowser's Bowser Bomb does not get any freeze frames. | | ==Edge-canceled Bowser Bomb== |
| | An '''edge-canceled Bowser Bomb''' happens when Bowser uses this move on an edge (while facing the appropriate direction). The animation and momentum of the Bowser Bomb is canceled out by the action of Bowser grabbing on to the ledge. |
|
| |
|
| ===Edge-canceled Bowser Bomb=== | | ==Origin== |
| [[File:Bowserbombedgecancel.gif|thumb|left|A Bowser player 2 frame punishes a Zelda player, cancelling the move by grabbing the ledge.]]
| | The move is based on Bowser's attack pattern in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}''. Bowser also makes a similar move in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Princess Peach}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'', as well as ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Paper Mario}}'', though all three of these games were made after ''Melee''. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', this move was used by Bowser on the final battle, where he jumped diagonally forward and did a ground-pound while facing the screen (which he also does in the Smash games), breaking bricks below him. To beat him, Mario had to make Bowser break all bricks on an area with the move, causing him to fall downwards onto a pit. |
| In all ''Smash'' titles, is possible to [[edge cancel]] Bowser Bomb, as it has a very early [[ledge]] grab window that lasts throughout the drop's duration. This works regardless of direction, and can be performed through precise positioning prior to the leap from the ground, or simply using it in the air. It's possible to repeatedly "chain" these edge cancels together, making for an unwieldy but somewhat effective edgeguarding tool. This maneuver was buffed in ''Ultimate'', as the drop will [[meteor smash]] opponents, though it is difficult to time. | |
|
| |
|
| However, an edge-cancelled Bowser Bomb 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, which can lead to unintentional [[SD]]s. Furthermore, because Bowser lacks any protection during the move outside of the innate [[Tough Guy]] ability in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', it is fairly easy to challenge an edge cancelled Bowser Bomb if close. Thus, spacial awareness is necessary to succeed with this technique.
| | ==Manual Descriptions== |

|
| ==Giant Bowser falling glitch== | | ===''[[Melee]]'' manual description=== |
| The Giant Bowser falling glitch is a bug involving {{SSBB|Bowser}} or [[Giga Bowser]] when affected by a [[Super Mushroom]], exclusive to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The glitch occurs because Bowser's origin point fails to hit the ground, thus causing him to get stuck in place. In the case of Giga Bowser, this can prevent him from doing anything until the transformation ends.
| | ''"Leap up and plunge onto enemies rapidly with considerable force."'' |
|
| |
|
| The glitch can be performed on a triangular area of a [[Custom Stage]], of which the slanted surface is a ramp or stairs. Below the ramp, there needs to be a gap with blocks at the bottom, horizontally level with the lowest set of stairs. The gap must not have an opening. Above the ramp must be blocks horizontally level with the highest set of stairs so that Bowser does not go past the stairs or slide down them. In the case of Giga Bowser, the player should position him so that his left leg is between the middle and bottom set of stairs, and then use Bowser Bomb. The player should see Giga Bowser's falling animation, but he fails to actually land. When the [[Final Smash]] ends, Bowser will become trapped beneath the stairs.
| | ===''[[Brawl]]'' Manual description=== |
|
| |
|
| The glitch can also be performed using a 3x3 area made of small blocks with the center empty and the bottom-middle as a soft platform, which is where the player will stand. This setup gives more leniency and allows for Bowser to perform the glitch in a Special Brawl set to Mega if he gets a Super Mushroom. This also allows him to simply jump and perform the glitch under the same conditions. The glitch will cancel itself when the Super Mushroom wears of or, for the jump, performing an attack.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMF6t14Q4gQ Bowser falling glitch video]</ref>

| # '''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.

| 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}}''.
