House of Boom (トラップルーム, Trap Room) is Steve's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Description

Steve places a giant piston in front of the opponent, which then extends outwards to hit other opponents. The first victim caught is taken into a cutscene where they are thrown into the House of Boom filled with TNT and Creepers. Zombies attack the victim, producing an explosion, during which Steve eats a victory steak, after which the victim is launched. Any other opponents struck by the piston will just take knockback from it.

Origin

While the House of Boom does not naturally appear in Minecraft, it bears a strong resemblance to strongholds, structures that generate in the Overworld that serve as the only entrances to the End dimension, where the fight against the Ender Dragon takes place (although unlike the House of Boom, strongholds are found underground rather than on the surface.) There are also structures in Minecraft that contain harmful traps, such as desert pyramids, which contain rooms with chests filled with valuable loot and a pressure plate that can activate TNT hidden underneath, should an unsuspecting player fall onto it.

Masahiro Sakurai stated that the Final Smash was inspired by seeing players create buildings filled with traps to harm their opponents.
