As the first hits of a multi-hit throw are generally regular hitboxes, they are capable of hitting bystanders. Some throws are partially designed for this purpose; Bowser's down throw does all of its damage with a hitbox and none with the throw itself, meaning both the grabbed opponent and any bystanders take the same damage.

Certain [[special move]]s can be considered multi-hit throws, an example being [[Dark Dive]].

Multi-hit throws whose animation speed is based on the opponent's [[weight]] run the risk of rounding causing one-frame hitboxes to appear and disappear without the game checking to see if anyone has been hit. As a result, some throws don't deal as much damage as they should on opponents of a specific weight. Examples include {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s down throw in [[NTSC]] ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|Link}}'s down throw in ''Brawl'', the former of which misses its first hit when throwing {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} or {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and the latter of which misses its first hit when throwing {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}.
