The origin of the X Bomb is muddled. In terms of the bomb's design, it originates from ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', where it was an item that Pit could throw at opponents, which then fires four balls of energy in a cross pattern that proceed to bounce around. However, the item's behaviour in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is to deal instant damage along two lines; this behaviour instead originates from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Meteos}}'' series (which predates ''Uprising''), where the X Bomb would destroy all Meteos diagonal to itself upon detonation. Despite this, the Miiverse post that revealed the item specifically says the X Bomb is not from ''Meteos''. | The origin of the X Bomb is muddled.

It is worth noting that the X Bomb from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' is called a "Cross Bomb" in Japan, which in ''Meteos'' is a different item altogether that destroys all Meteos in its row and column. The X Bomb in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series exhibits this behavior simply by rotating differently. | It is worth noting that the X Bomb from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' is called a "Cross Bomb" in Japan, which in ''Meteos'' is a different item altogether that destroys all Meteos in its row and column.
