 Bowser Bomb in Brawl. | |
| User | Bowser, Giga Bowser |
| Universe | Mario |
Bowser Bomb is the down special move of Bowser. If Bowser is in midair when using this move, he slams to the ground with a butt-stomp. If he's on the ground doing this, he will leap forward diagonally before performing the butt-stomp. Unlike Yoshi, whose Yoshi Bomb will produce disruptive stars upon landing, Bowser will not emit any kind of shockwave upon impact. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bowser gains some super armor and can lightly damage enemies with his head at the start-up of the move. Note that in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this move can be used to combo opponents. The diagonal jump when used on the ground deals 5% damage, and the landing deals 24% damage.
The Bowser Bomb is also good for edgeguarding. If Bowser does it in the air and just brushes the edge, he will grab on making good for edgeguarding. This technique is good to use on people trying to recover. Also by doing this, instead of suffering lag from landing on the ground, the player can just grab the edge. Bowser can also use it on someone who is hanging on the edge and he will knock them off it and he will grab on instead. It is unsure whether the player has to hold the direction on the analog stick according to what side the edge is on or if they can just Bowser Bomb and he will automatically grab on.
This special attack is shared by Giga Bowser, both in his boss appearance in Melee and in his playable appearance in Brawl.
Bowser does not get any freeze frames when he hits someone while falling.
Edge-canceled Bowser Bomb
An edge-canceled Bowser Bomb happens when Bowser uses this move on an edge (while facing the appropriate direction). The animation and momentum of the Bowser Bomb is canceled out by the action of Bowser grabbing on to the ledge.
Origin
The move is based on Bowser's attack pattern in Super Mario Bros. 3. Bowser also makes a similar move in Super Princess Peach and Super Mario Galaxy, as well as Super Paper Mario.
Brawl Manual description
"Use this from high up to crush unsuspecting foes."
