Yoshi Bomb (aka Hip Drop or Ground Pound) is Yoshi's down special move. He smashes straight downward into the ground when used, and releases a star on either side, providing minor protection against nearby enemies. If used on the ground, Yoshi will jump forward before dropping down. This move can be canceled by grabbing the ledge while dropping.
This move deals 12% damage in SSB.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Yoshi Bomb has been weakened. However, it can hit enemies twice if used on the ground.
Brawl manual description
"Jump forward and up, then slam down in a flash. Sends you straight down when done in the air."
Origin
The move has become a somewhat standard move in Mario games, originating in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island where Yoshi could use it to pound down stakes, crush crates, and slam through soft dirt. It is unknown why the move is called "Yoshi Bomb" in the Smash Bros. series despite never being known as such in any other game.
The stars may be derived from a similar occurrence in Super Mario World, where Yoshis with a yellow shell in their mouth cause damaging clouds of smoke upon landing from any jump.
Trivia
- This is Yoshi's only special move (excluding his Final Smash) that is not egg-related.
