The '''Hocotate Bomb''' ({{ja|ドルフィン爆弾|Dorufin Bakudan}}, ''Dolphin Bomb'') is an explosive item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' modeled after the [[Hocotate Ship]] in the {{uv|Pikmin}} universe. When thrown, it will wait 3 seconds, or until it is attacked, before ascend offscreen into the sky, damaging and dragging any touching enemies with it for a potential KO, then crash down after about 7 seconds after its launch. If it receives enough damage before it flies off-screen, it will explode and damage anyone nearby. However, when it detonates on re-entry the resulting explosion will not harm the person who activated it. The crash landing also has a [[meteor]] effect on any opponent who makes contact with it. It's also possible to push the bomb away with [[wind]] and have it land in another spot though it may just pass through solid ground.

:{{Flag|North America}} ''With the outward appearance of a Hocotate Freight ship, this is actually a bomb in disguise! Arm it by throwing it on the ground, and give it a nudge if you're impatient. It'll fly up into the sky, returning a short time later and exploding. Force your foes into the landing zone!''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''The flagship of Hocotate Freight has been reinvented as...a bomb! To arm it, throw it, then wait. Or give it a nudge - up to you. It'll shoot up in the air, then after a bit, fall back down to its starting point and go off. Try to remember where it was set off - you really don't want to get caught in the blast.''

==Origin==

The design of the item is clearly based on the Hocotate Ship from ''Pikmin 2'', and its behaviour seems to be the similar to that of [[End of Day]], Olimar's [[Final Smash]]. However, there is also an item with identical functionality from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' - the {{s|icaruspedia|Boom Rocket}}.

*In version [[1.0.4]] of ''Smash 3DS'', if one uses a Hocotate Bomb on [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], it's possible to see the bomb floating above the blast line, facing downward.
