Sun Salutation (太陽礼拝, Sun Worship) is the Wii Fit Trainer's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Overview

Firing Sun Salutation in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U..

This move is a chargeable projectile that the Trainer summons by performing the yoga pose of the name the move comes from. It can be stored and used later, similar to Samus's Charge Shot. When fully charged, the move heals Wii Fit Trainer by 2% when shot, and the Wii Fit Trainer will sometimes shout "Sun salutation!" in the PAL version or "Salute the sun!" in the American version of the game.

Origin

Demonstration of Sun Salutation in Wii Fit, stretching upward...
...then bending down and touching one's toes.

In Wii Fit, Sun Salutation was one of the series of yoga poses the player could choose from and then be guided through by either the male or female Wii Fit Trainer. Designed to tone the arms and thighs, it went as follows: standing on the Wii Balance Board, the player would keep their center of balance within a yellow oval while reaching up and behind them, bending down to touch their toes, reaching up while bending their knees, returning to the starting position and then repeating for the chosen amount of repetitions.

In Super Smash Bros. 4, the Wii Fit Trainer does the reaching up and back step of the Sun Salutation while charging the move and touches their toes when shooting it. The knee-bending step is not used.

While the sun energy ball does not appear in Wii Fit, it does resemble the background of the yoga training exercises, meant to regulate breathing.
