# '''Star Bomb''': The ground pound itself deals just 4% damage, and has little KO power, however upon hitting the ground much larger stars are produced which deal 4-8% damage and fly out a long distance. The move also has more ending lag, and is less effective at breaking shields, although still possesses decent shield damage. {{Main|Yoshi (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 1}}

# '''Crushing Bomb''': Yoshi jumps up higher, and the ground pound deals more damage (15/12 -> 18) and knockback, but no stars are produced upon landing. Additionally the move has more startup and ending lag. Furthermore the removal of the stars means the grounded version is no longer a guaranteed shield break if all hits connect, although it leaves shields with so little health that if the shield is even very slightly damaged, it will still break. {{Main|Yoshi (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 2}}

The {{s|supermariowiki|Ground Pound}} is a standard move in {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} games. Although [[Bowser]] originated [[Bowser Bomb|the move]] in his boss battle in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', it first appeared as a usable move by the player in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' where Yoshi could use it to pound down stakes, crush crates, slam through soft dirt, and of course, damage and defeat enemies. Yoshi's animation during the midair descent is modeled after the move from ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', the instruction manual for which calling it "Yoshi's proudest move".

The stars emitted from the Yoshi Bomb are original to [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros''.]], though they may reference how in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yellow Yoshis would kick up damaging clouds of dust when they land. It's possible the stars are a mix of this idea and a reference to the {{uv|Kirby}} series, where a great deal of ground-smashing attacks produce stars on impact that [[Kirby]] can suck up and spit out.

*In ''Melee'', despite CPUs rarely shielding physical attacks, they will always [[roll dodge]] or [[air dodge]] away from this attack when used in their vicinity, even at the lowest skill level, provided they are not in lag at the time.
