Forwards throws in Brawl

Mario: Mario spins around once then throws his opponent in front of him. It has low knockback scaling even for a throw. It is mostly only used to get the opponent off the edge. 9%.

Luigi: Luigi spins once with his victim and throws them forward. 9%.

Peach: Peach winds up and slaps the opponent away. Decent knockback and the strongest of Peach's throws, though it rarely KOs. Can chaingrab heavies at low percentages provided that one buffers a dash grab. A hit of 2%, then 8%.

Bowser: Launches foe forward using his head. Decent knockback, but will rarely KO. 10%.

Donkey Kong: Reardless of the opponent's size, DK heaves the opponent onto his back, just like carrying a crate or a barrel. Can be released and regrabbed if he can react quicker, being an infinite on Lucas and Ness when turn releasing and turn grabbing. Donkey Kong is unable to use his forward throw on enemies in the Subspace Emissary, making him the only character unable to use one of his standard throws for said reason. If the input for the forward throw is used, he will use his up throw instead.If the character breaks free, it will do 6%, if while carrying do a F-Throw or a B-Throw, it will do 8%. Performing a U-Throw, 7%, and a D-Throw, 6%.

Diddy Kong: Tosses opponent forward.Strongest throw. 11%.

Yoshi: Spits the opponent out. 7%.

Wario: Spins the foe around and throws him/her forward. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. The best throw for racking up damage. Usually starts KO at about 150% on lighter characters near the edge with good DI. Identical to Mario and Luigi's back throw, except the spun opponent doesn't hurt other foes.12%.

Pit: Slashes the opponent. Can chaingrab at very low percentages against heavier characters. Does 10%.

Ice Climbers: Hit with hammer. If the player walks slightly forward with the partner climber before using, he/she can grab the enemy again right after they use the attack, making this a chain grab.

Kirby: Pile Driver" from Kirby's Suplex ability in Kirby Super Star and Backdrop from "Adventure". Kirby rises slowly in the air, while flipping, then slams the opponent down.

Captain Falcon: Punches the enemy and sends them forward. Can be followed by a dashing up smash for a KO, and the throw itself has some KO power at high percents.

Mr. Game & Watch: He juggles the enemy as a ball and then the enemy is launched forward. 8% damage.
