Smart Bomb

Smart Bomb
Universe	Star Fox
Appears in	SSBB
Item class	Explosive

The Template:Nihongo is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is one of the most powerful thrown items in the game. Once it hits an opponent, travels a certain distance, or gets attacked, it produces a large, slow explosion that envelops a big range and damages everyone inside in increments of 1% for about three seconds. Characters caught in the blast can shift their position using smash DI, but generally cannot escape until the explosion ends and flings them away. The bomb does a great deal of damage but generally does not KO.

There is a small chance that a Smart Bomb will turn out to not explode; instead of going off it makes a distinctive echoing noise and travels through its target, causing flinching but no knockback. A dud Smart Bomb will still explode when attacked and may explode at a random time, even when picked up again. One can use Fox Illusion or a any projectile to safely activate a Smart Bomb while the opponent is distracted.

Smart Bomb Trophy

A bomb that explodes and causes damage to all characters within its range when thrown or attacked. The explosion from this device is so large, the deployer may be caught in the blast if he or she is not careful. In Star Fox, this item will explode after a set time or can be set off immediately with a button press.

Origin

The Smart Bomb comes from the Star Fox series. It was originally named the Nova Bomb. In Star Fox 64, it could either be locked on to opponents or triggered to explode after launch by pressing the button a second time. It also would explode on impact, or after it traveled a certain distance. It did not hurt Fox or his wingmen.
