Mario (SSB)/Back throw

Overview

The hitbox of Mario's b-throw.

Mario grabs the opponent by the legs, swings them multiple times, and then throws them back. It is one of the most powerful throws in the game, and is a reliable KO move. Considered Mario's second strongest KO move, behind his up smash. If a bystander is hit by the character being swung, they will be damaged.

Trivia

• This is a throw taken directly from Super Mario 64, where during the Bowser battles, Mario must throw Bowser into one of the explosive spiked pillars surrounding the arena.
• For unknown reasons, Mario's face during the throw is the same face he used after being attacked, despite him being the attacker.
