Bowser (SSBM)/Down smash

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser's down smash.

Overview

Bowser spins around in his shell while doing great damage with multiple hits from his spikes. Subpar range, can be DI'd out of, and has noticeable ending lag, but still powerful nonetheless. Combos into itself on fast-falling characters. Sixth most powerful down smash in the game. The limbs grants intangibility during the move.
