Flying Slam

Body Slam is Bowser's Side Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, replacing the Koopa Claw. Body Slam is essentially the same move as Koopa Klaw, with one fundamental difference: Bowser claws at his opponent and if he connects, he'll perform a flying suplex, rather than throw them over his shoulder as he did with the Koopa Claw. Bowser's air movement can be controlled greatly during this move. Bowser appears unable to bite his enemy with this move, unlike with the Metal Claw. This move can be used to easily cause a suicide-KO, (commonly known as "Bowsercides") even while in the air, which is particularly useful against edgeguarders performing a "wall of pain" style edgeguard. The victim isn't entirely at Bowser's mercy though, as they can also alter Bowser's horizontal trajectory, however, the effectiveness of this is dependent on one's current percentage.

Interestingly, while the Dojo has stated that if one uses this move to do a Suicide-KO while both are on the last stock of a stock brawl, the game would be called in Bowser's favor, but videos have shown in such a situation, the game is called a tie and sudden death occurs. However, in other situations, this has resulted in Bowser's victory. It is possible that the size of the grabbed character affects whether it is a tie or a win.

In the Subspace Emissary, Bowser does not actually perform a flying suplex, yet he still inflicts damage with his claws.

Giga Bowser can also use this move.
