Attributes

Despite the changes in his moveset, Bowser Jr. still plays largely the same.

Changes from SSB4

Bowser Jr. has been heavily buffed from SSB4.

Attributes

• The Clown Car and Bowser Jr.'s hurtboxes each have more defense (0.88x > 0.85x for the Clown Car, 1.15x > 1x for Bowser Jr.)
• He has a slower walk speed (0.88 > 0.85)
• He has a faster run speed (1.424 > 1.45)
• He has a faster air speed (1.08 > 1.1)
• He is lighter (108 > 98), making him easier to launch but harder to combo

Ground attacks

• The final hit of his neutral combo has better range and launch power
• His forward tilt can no longer be angled
• His up tilt has longer range, has better juggling ability, and does more damage in front of Bowser Jr.
• His dash attack now swings up and down, giving it better range
• His up smash hits more times, is more powerful, and has better range
• His down smash has better range, buries opponents, and has significantly less ending lag

Aerial attacks

• His neutral aerial has better range
• His neutral aerial has less knockback
• His forward aerial now knocks opponents downwards, and has range above him allowing it to combo from his up aerial into his down aerial
• His up aerial has better range, allowing it to combo from Clown Kart Dash better, and lower knockback, allowing it to combo into his forward aerial better
• His down aerial has less ending lag
• His down aerial can meteor smash opponents hit by the tip

Throws/other attacks

• His forward throw has less launching power, which allows it to combo into his up aerial or tilt
• His down throw now buries opponents, allowing easier comboing into Clown Kart Dash

Special attacks

• Clown Cannon takes less time to charge, and charge can be stored by tilting the control stick, which makes Bowser Jr. dodge
• Bowser Jr. leaps back a short distance before using Clown Kart Dash
• Bowser Jr. can now use five different aerial attacks after using Abandon Ship!
  • Neutral aerial is identical to the sole attack from SSB4
  • Forward aerial has him swipe his claws, which has less range and launch power than his neutral but does more damage
  • Back aerial has him perform a sex kick behind himself
  • Up aerial functions identically to his non-helpless up aerial, but with less power
  • Down aerial has him perform a ground pound, plummeting quickly towards the ground
• Instead of releasing Mechakoopas to walk around, Bowser Jr. now pulls them out and holds them
• Mechakoopas no longer instantly explode when thrown at an opponent, instead doing a small amount of damage and piercing through them
