*[[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Mii Gunner]]'s back throws are the only ones to release [[projectile]]s, in the form of lasers that can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed. Fox fires three lasers that cause no knockback, much like those of [[Blaster (Fox)|his neutral special]]; likewise, Falco in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' fires three lasers that cause weak knockback. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Falco and Mii Gunner instead fire a single laser that deals much more knockback, with Falco's being capable of KOing near the edge at high percentages. | *[[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Mii Gunner]]'s back throws are the only ones to release [[projectile]]s, in the form of lasers that can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed.

*{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s back throw in ''Melee'' causes him to functionally leave the ground, and can be used for a [[Kirbycide]]. However, it is one of the only two standard throws in the series that can be escaped without receiving external knockback (the other being his forward throw). From ''Brawl'' onward, this is no longer the case. | *{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s back throw in ''Melee'' causes him to functionally leave the ground, and can be used for a [[Kirbycide]]. However, it is one of the only two standard throws in the series that can be escaped without receiving external knockback (the other being his forward throw). From ''Brawl'' onward, this is no longer the case. From ''SSB4'', it's knockback was altered giving it more knockback scaling but less base knockback, so it's better both for combos at low percents and KOing at high percents | ||
*[[Corrin]]'s back throw possesses a [[tipper]] hitbox that only affects nearby opponents, and can KO considerably earlier than the throw itself.
