Splat Bomb (スプラッシュボム, Splash Bomb) is Inkling's down special move.

Overview

Upon use, Inkling throws a pyramid shaped bomb forward that will explode and damage enemies in its radius. The distance and arc of the Bomb's trajectory is determined by the length of the button press: a short press will lob it a short distance, while a held press will toss in a lower arc for a further distance. The Bomb detonates a set time after being thrown, and will bounce off enemies and the ground while this timer ticks down. If Inkling's ink tank is too low, she will instead look at her ink tank worriedly.

Origin

An Inkling throwing a Splat Bomb, followed by it exploding, in Splatoon.

Splat Bombs are a subweapon within Splatoon and Splatoon 2. The player can use it at any point with one of the trigger buttons. Splat Bombs (and other subweapons) use up a set amount of ink. However, located on the Inklings' ink tanks is an arrow that determines at what point they can no longer use their subweapon (as they no longer have the sufficient amount of ink to do so); this arrow carries over into Smash Bros., as it can be seen on their ink meter.
