Bowser (SSBU)

Bowser (クッパ, Koopa) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was teased in a trailer released on March 8th, 2018 before being fully confirmed as playable on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change Although the primary aesthetic is nearly identical to the previous entry, Bowser's overall appearance was given more detail and slightly darkened in colour, akin to Brawl while retaining the brighter colours of SSB4.
  • Change Bowser's side taunt animation has been updated, to match his upright stance.
  • Change Fire Breath is more vibrant in color as opposed to the more realistic flame in SSB4.

Attributes

  • Change Giga Bowser's functionality has drastically changed: rather than utilizing Bowser's Brawl moveset, he teleports to the background of the stage and aims a single OHKO punch, similar to how the Dragoon functions. This move forces a Screen KO on its victims.

Ground attacks

  • Buff Down tilt can now trip opponents.
  • Change The first attack in Bowser's neutral combo is now a Sumo-style palm strike. The second, however, is still the same punch as in SSB4.
  • Change Down Smash has been altered to a grounded claw swipe that hits forward, then backward.

Special moves

Aerial moves

  • Change Bowser's neutral aerial has been changed from a circular flip in mid-air to a simple mid-air shell spin.

Trivia

  • Bowser's official artwork resembles a pose he commonly makes for Mario games, being almost identical to official art for Super Mario 64 DS and Mario Party 10.
  • This is Bowser's first appearance in the series in which he is not available at the start.
