Burning Dropkick (ドロップキックバーニング, Burning Dropkick), rendered as Burning Drop Kick in the PAL version, is one of the three side special moves usable by Mii Brawlers. When used, the Brawler charges, then launches forward with their feet ablaze, damaging and knocking back the first enemy hit, while causing the Brawler to bounce back afterwards. This move is similar to Pikachu's Skull Bash and Luigi's Green Missile: it can also aid on the Mii Brawler's horizontal recovery like these moves, due to not leaving them helpless and being able to sweetspot ledges. If the move is performed like a smash attack, it charges faster.
Despite the backward bounce upon hitting a foe preventing the attack from being punished with a shield grab, it is still generally unsafe due to its long lag making it easy to hit the Brawler out of it, as well as the bounce still leaving them vulnerable to any other out of shield options such as an aerial attack. As such, Onslaught is often preferred over this move and Headache Maker due to its faster startup and ability to tech-chase.
