-In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', the move is called "Hip Drop" by Yoshi's in-game character profile, which was the standard name for the maneuver in the [[supermariowiki:Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] at this time; elsewhere in the {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} series the move is known as "Ground Pound". However, the move is listed as "Bomb" in the instruction booklet for ''Super Smash Bros'', which is likely an error; this causes it to share a name with [[Bomb (Link)|special]] [[Bomb (Samus)|moves]] of [[Link]] and [[Samus]], both of which coincidentally are also down special moves.
-The move was then named as the Yoshi Bomb in ''Melee'' and later games. This is an unsubstantiated choice; no move has ever been known as "Yoshi Bomb" in the ''Mario'' or ''Yoshi'' series, and the Japanese name for the move remains {{ja|ヒップドロップ|Hippu Doroppu}} (Hip Drop). In most in-depth Japanese sources, Luigi's new down throw in ''SSB4'' also shares this exact name which implies that it's the exact same technique.

-The move has become a somewhat standard move in {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} games, originating in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' where Yoshi could use it to pound down stakes, crush crates, slam through soft dirt, and of course, damage and defeat enemies. Yoshi's animation during the midair descent is modeled after the {{s|supermariowiki|Ground Pound}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', the instruction manual for which calling it "Yoshi's proudest move".

 The stars emitted from the Yoshi Bomb are original to [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros''.]], through they may reference how in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yellow Yoshis would kick up damaging clouds of dust when they land. It's possible the stars are a mix of this idea and a reference to the {{uv|Kirby}} series, where a great deal of ground-smashing attacks produce stars on impact that [[Kirby]] can suck up and spit out.
-The Japanese name for Yoshi Bomb on the other hand (Hip Drop) is a common alternate name for this type of move in several of the ''Mario'' and ''Yoshi''-based games alike.
+The names "Bomb" or "Yoshi Bomb" have no origin in either ''Mario'' or ''Yoshi'' games. Hip Drop, which was its name in-game in ''Smash 64'' and is still its Japanese name, is regularly used in both franchises.
