| | '''Whirling Fortress''' is [[Bowser]]'s [[Up Special Move]]. Bowser goes into his shell and spins around. If he's in the air, he's propelled upwards. If he's on the ground, he can move around hitting a couple enemies. |
| [[Whirling Fortress]] (or 'the Fortress' as it's usually called) is [[Bowser|Bowser's]] [[up B]] and [[triple jump]]. Known for it's defensive and maneuvering attributes it adds to Bowser's game, it fills several 'holes' in Bowser's otherwise slow [[metagame]]. Several unique properties make it highly beneficial to play:
| |
|
| |
|
| * It has very little startup (5 [[frame]]s), during which Bowser is [[invincibility frame|invincible]], and has relatively little cooldown [[lag]].

| * One cannot get shieldgrabbed if one cancels a Fortress directly into another.
| |
| * It hits throughout most of its animation (on the ground)
| |
| * It allows Bowser to move quickly and suddenly in one direction
| |
| * It has high [[knockback]] on the ground, and inflicts high damage in the air
| |
| * It has high priority
| |
| * It can be used to [[edgeguard]] quickly and efficiently (Fortressing off the side of a stage leads directly to an [[edgehog]])
| |

|
| The above properties make the Fortress a versatile move. It can also be used as a damaging and effective replacement to Bowser's quick, yet laggy, roll. Can be [[jump-cancelling|jump-cancelled]] out of a shield to discourage overly aggressive opponents. It can be used to clank just about anything with decent timing.

| This special attack is shared by [[Giga Bowser]], both in his boss appearance in ''Melee'' and in his [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|playable appearance]] in ''Brawl''. It gives him lots of invincibility frames and it's almost impossible to attack him while he is using this. In Melee, Giga Bowser's Fortress also gave him much more vertical recovery when used in midair.
