 ==Overview==
-Upon using this move, there will be a small delay where the vehicle activates the wheels, and then boosts forward. If no further button presses are made, the move will inflict 4% damage on contact with opponents and have lower knock back. However, if a direction is held on the control stick, the Kart will drive faster to inflict 6% damage to anyone it hits along the way, gradually growing to 7% after a longer drive with increased knock back. The Kart will eventually spin out, where the spin out inflicts 12% damage. While driving, Bowser Jr. can jump out and do an aerial, or force a spin out by pressing an attack button or if the opposite direction is inputted. At lower percents, the vertical knockback inflicted by ramming the vehicle into an enemy can easily lead into an aerial. At later percents, the spin out can effectively KO enemies from around 125%. If Bowser Jr. jumps out of the move in the air, he will lose his remaining aerial jump, but it can be done even if he has already used his aerial jump (in SSB4 only). If Bowser Jr. drives off the edge of a platform, he will automatically jump and keep dashing. If Bowser Jr. hits a wall in the air, he will bounce up the wall, ending the dash, but can still use his midair jump. Jump-canceling the start of this move allows faster travel and plays a unique sound effect. The move has a minimal amount of [[Armor|heavy armor]] that can withstand attacks that deal no more than 8%.
+Upon using this move, Bowser Jr. will transform his Clown Kart into a kart with wheels, driving forwards at a fast speed. There is a small delay where the vehicle activates the wheels, and then boosts forward. The Clown Kart's dash deals damage based on the speed Bowser Jr. is traveling, capping out after a short duration: if no further button presses are made, the move will inflict low damage and knockback on contact with opponents; pressing forward on the control stick will make the kart accelerate faster, with a fitting increase to damage and knockback. Collisions at maximum speed (attained after a few seconds of driving) will cause the maximum damage and knockback to be dealt. While driving, the move has a minimal amount of [[armor]] that can withstand attacks that deal no more than 8%.
-Being able to drive around in it is similar to the [[Wario Bike]].
+While driving, Bowser Jr. can jump out for a free action, air dodge (''SSB4'' only) or force a spin out by pressing an attack button or if the opposite direction is inputted. The kart will also eventually spin out on its own; regardless of which way it ends, the spinout deals significantly more knockback than simply driving the kart, though not enough to be a capable KO move. If Bowser Jr. jumps out of the move in the air, he will lose his remaining aerial jump, but it can be done even if he has already used his aerial jump (''SSB4'' only). If Bowser Jr. drives off the edge of a platform, he will automatically jump and keep dashing. If Bowser Jr. hits a wall in the air, he will bounce up the wall, ending the dash, but can still use his midair jump. Jump-canceling the start of this move allows faster travel and plays a unique sound effect.
+At lower percents, the vertical knockback inflicted by ramming the vehicle into an enemy can easily lead into an aerial, making it an effective combo starter. At later percents, the spin out can effectively KO enemies near the sides of the stage.
+In ''Ultimate'', the move was significantly buffed. The dash itself has slightly more armor (~10.2%) and causes Bowser Jr. to reach the maximum speed almost immediately, meaning it reaches maximum collision damage near instantly. In addition, the spinout starts faster (frame 5 → 3) and is significantly stronger, making it KO very early, especially near the sides of the stage. Finally, Bowser Jr. keeps his double jump if it is canceled early in midair, allowing for recovery mixups. However, it can no longer be airdodged out of.
