Peach Bomber (ピーチボンバー Pīchi Bombā) is Princess Peach's side special move. She lunges her rear towards her opponents after a stationary twirl and blasts them with a powerful explosion. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the explosion has fire effects, but in Brawl and Smash 4, it is filled with hearts.
Using the Peach Bomber on most walls in the game will cause Peach to rise upward a tad. This can help with recovery on stages with vertical walls, such as Yoshi's Story and Fourside. The technique can also be used to stall a match, as Peach can continue to bomb the walls, keeping her alive and out of range from most other characters who would be KO'd if they were to try to go and attack her. Use of the technique in this fashion is banned in most tournaments.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it has been altered visually to have a heart-shaped explosion when the attack connects, rather than a normal explosion. This version of the attack covers more distance than in Melee. Also, it can no longer be used to bomb walls for vertical height gain. However, if a wall is destructible, such as those in Shadow Moses Island, Peach can still rise a tad upward. There is also more start-up lag. It can be used for recovery since it covers horizontal distance in both games.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- A variant in which the move travels farther forward, moves vertically, and is stronger when it connects.
- It is currently unknown what the second variation is.
Trivia
- Despite the description in Brawl's manual, the move is not boosted by Explosives Attack stickers; instead it is boosted by Body Attack stickers.
