|'''Move'''
|neutralname=Double Claw
|'''Description'''
|neutral1dmg=5%
|colspan="2"|'''Segment'''
|neutral2dmg=5%
|'''Damage'''
|neutraldesc=Two quick claw swipes. Relatively safe move, as the arm Bowser is swiping with is intangible while the hitboxes are out.
|<span class="explain" title="90=straight up, 180=behind">'''Angle'''</span>
|ftiltname=Backhand Knuckle
|colspan="2"|'''Hit Frames'''
|ftiltdmg=11%
|<span class="explain" title="Base knockback">'''BKB'''</span>
|ftiltdesc=Bowser gives a backhanded punch while leaning his body forward. Can be aimed up or down. Has decent KO potential at later percentages. If angled down, has a decent chance of tripping. Bowser's lower arm is intangible while the hitboxes are out.
|<span class="explain" title="Knockback growth">'''KBG'''</span>
|utiltname=Vertical Claw
|<span class="explain" title="Weight-based knockback">'''WBKB'''</span>
|utiltdmg=12%
|colspan="2"|<span class="explain" title="For applying stickers">'''Type'''</span>
|utiltdesc=Swats the air above him. A decent juggling move. This is also a very powerful KO move and can KO lightweights very early given its surprising speed. Like his forward tilt, Bowser's lower arm cannot be injured while the hitboxes are out.
|-
|dtiltname=Claw Trip
|rowspan="4"|[[Neutral attack]]||rowspan="4"|Double Claw||rowspan="4"|Two quick claw swipes. Relatively safe move, as the arm Bowser is swiping with is intangible while the hitboxes are out.||rowspan="3"|Hit 1||Hand||rowspan="3"|5%||{{AngleIcon|30}}||rowspan="3"|6||rowspan="3"|8||rowspan="3"|0||rowspan="3"|100||45||rowspan="4"|{{AttackType|type=Hand|effect=Slash|t=4}}
|dtiltdmg=14% (hit 1), 10% (hit 2)
|-
|dtiltdesc=Claw swipes while crouched. Does two hits; unlike most multi-hit moves, the first hit is the stronger one. High knockback for its kind with speed make this another speedy KO move. Like his neutral combo, the active arm cannot be injured.
|Arm||{{AngleIcon|50}}||30
|dashname=Dashing Headbutt
|-
|dashdmg=11% (clean), 8% (late)
|Shoulder||{{AngleIcon|83}}||18
|dashdesc=Running headbutt. Has good vertical knockback. Horrid ending lag makes this move easily [[punish]]able.
|-
|fsmashname=Horn Lunge
|colspan="2"|Hit 2||5%||{{AngleIcon|361}}||18||20||50||100||0
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|23}}/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|21}} (hit 2)
|-
|fsmashdesc=Bowser rears back and then performs a very strong headbutt. This is the most damaging forward smash in the game. If used correctly, the second hit can prevent shield grabbing. When fully charged and both hits connect, it can KO at 45%.
|[[Forward tilt]]||Backhand Knuckle||colspan="3"|Bowser gives a backhanded punch while leaning his body forward. Can be aimed up or down. Has decent KO potential at later percentages. If angled down, has a decent chance of tripping (40%). Bowser's lower arm is intangible while the hitboxes are out.||11%||{{AngleIcon|361}}||10||14||45||83||0||{{AttackType|type=Hand|effect=Normal|t=1}}

Like his forward tilt, Bowser's lower arm cannot be injured while the hitboxes are out.||12%||{{AngleIcon|100}}||8||13||55||97||0||{{AttackType|type=Hand|effect=Slash|t=1}}
|usmashdesc=Bowser hunkers down on all fours and jumps straight up, hitting with his shell. Hitting with the sides of the attack does less damage. Opponents who only shield his jump may be hit by his landing (this only applies to grounded opponents). Very high knockback.
|-
|dsmashname=Shell Blender
|rowspan="2"|[[Down tilt]]||rowspan="2"|Claw Trip||rowspan="2"|Claw swipes while crouched. Does two hits; unlike most multi-hit moves, the first hit is the stronger one.

|-
|nairdmg=13% (clean), 9% (late)
|rowspan="2"|[[Dash attack]]||rowspan="2"|Dashing Headbutt||rowspan="2"|Running headbutt. Has good vertical knockback.

|colspan="2"|Late||8%||14||19||80
|fairdmg=13% (hand), 12% (arm), 11% (shoulder)

|uairname=Upper Headbutt
|Tail||{{AngleIcon|120}}

|-
|uairdesc=Bowser swings his head upward with a little but noticeable startup lag but little ending lag in the air. Very high damage and knockback make it one of the best up aerials in the game power-wise (2nd strongest up air in the game). It is hindered, however, by its low hitbox duration.
