Flying Slam is essentially the same move as [[Koopa Klaw]] from ''Melee'' on startup: clawing at the opponent. However, the similarities end there: it lacks a hitbox outside of the grab range, and once it connects the [[command grab]] automatically transitions to a flying suplex. Thus, there is no pummel unlike the Koopa Klaw either, and its Forward and Back throws are also removed. Fundamentally, Koopa Klaw and Flying Slam are completely different command grabs.

During the suplex, Bowser's air movement can be controlled greatly. However, as Bowser and his opponent's percentage difference increases, each player can control the movement. The higher Bowser's percentage, the less control he has.
