If Bowser is on the ground when initiating the move, he will leap forward diagonally, pause briefly, then slam down to the ground with a high-power ground pound. When used in the air, Bowser remains airborne for a short time before landing down with the ground pound. Upon impact, the move produces small [[hitbox]]es in the form of shockwaves at both of Bowser's sides, which cause 8% damage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and 11% damage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', an additional hitbox was added to Bowser during the diagonal jump when used on the ground, dealing 4% damage to anyone it connects with. The [[knockback]] from this hitbox can also combo into the ground pound itself. | If Bowser is on the ground when initiating the move, he will leap forward diagonally, pause briefly, then slam down to the ground with a high-power ground pound.

The move is based on Bowser's attack pattern in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' during his final boss battle, where he jumps diagonally forward and does a {{s|supermariowiki|Ground Pound}} while facing the screen to attack [[Mario]], breaking bricks below him. To beat him without power-ups, Mario has to make Bowser break all bricks on an area with the move, causing him to fall downwards into a pit. Bowser uses a similar move in the final battle in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Princess Peach}}''. | The move is based on Bowser's attack pattern in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' during his final boss battle, where he jumps diagonally forward and does a {{s|supermariowiki|Ground Pound}} while facing the screen to attack [[Mario]], breaking bricks below him.

* | *Strangely, CPUs in ''Melee'' are programmed to dodge Bowser Bomb at all costs: when using this move against a CPU, it will always [[roll]] away, or [[air dodge]] when airborne. A similar thing happens with his [[up smash]], where CPUs will always air dodge, or roll persistently back and forth when used below a CPU on a platform. | ||
