Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', Bowser boasts a respectable level of speed to go alongside his renowned power.<ref name="Upgraded"/> While he retains a slow [[Walk|walking speed]], average [[air speed]], slow [[air acceleration]] and the slowest [[jumpsquat]], and while his [[falling speed]] is much lower relative to the cast compared to ''Brawl'' (the 42nd fastest out of 58 characters as opposed to the 19th-20th fastest out of 38), his [[Dash|dashing speed]] and [[double jump]]'s height have both been significantly increased, and he also retains high [[gravity]]. This grants him mobility that is average overall, yet fairly balanced compared to most other heavy characters. As the [[Weight|heaviest]] character in the game, Bowser has the best horizontal endurance of them all, although due to his slow falling speed, his vertical endurance is not the best, but rather the third best, being surpassed only by his fellow super heavies {{SSB4|King Dedede}} and {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}.

Bowser's greatest strength is his immense power. Since most of his attacks are highly damaging, Bowser has an easy time racking up damage, especially when compared to combo-oriented characters like {{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Sheik}}. In addition, most of his moves have high knockback, granting him numerous (if not the largest number of) KOing options. Some of his moves are among the strongest of the cast, including the one of the strongest [[meteor smash]]es in his down aerial, one of the strongest [[semi-spike]]s in his back aerial and the second-strongest forward smash, which is surpassed only marginally by King Dedede and maximum [[Aura]] {{SSB4|Lucario}}'s. The introduction of [[rage]] further amplifies the power of his moves without reducing the efficiency of his combos. Bowser's great endurance can also allow him to take full advantage of it, as it is very difficult to KO him without a strong attack. Furthermore, Bowser has great [[range]] in many of his attacks, allowing him to [[space]] opponents more easily than many other characters. Combined with the aforementioned perks, Bowser is proficient at [[edgeguarding]].
