'''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. It is based on Yoshi's shell-based abilities in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Upon activating the Final Smash, Yoshi will turn into a [[Winged Yoshi]], allowing him to freely fly around the stage. Yoshi can ram into opponents to damage them, as well as [[Fire Breath|exhale fire]] either as a continuous stream (which occurs when the attack button is not pressed), or in the form of a large [[Fireball]] (which occurs every time the attack button is pressed). In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Fireball explodes on contact with an opponent, whereas it pierces opponents in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''. In this form, Yoshi cannot be KO'd by passing the blast lines, and he cannot be damaged. After some time has passed, Yoshi will return to normal.

'''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] [[Final Smash]]. The move reflects Yoshi's sporadic yet powerful fighting skills on the battlefield and greatly improves his ability to recover from a fall. Rather than a single, powerful attack, Super Dragon temporarily transforms Yoshi into [[Winged Yoshi]] and gives him the ability to breath fire. However, Yoshi must first break open a [[Smash Ball]] in order to charge himself up for the attack. Once this happens, Yoshi can activate the attack at any time. Yoshi can even save himself from an otherwise deadly fall. However, Yoshi cannot use this attack in his own [[Mushroom World]] because Smash Balls do not exist there.

==The Transformation==
===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
When the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stages|stage]] turns dark and Yoshi gains an unearthly glow, his transformation has begun. His transformation allows him two attack advantages. First, Yoshi sprouts angle wings, which allow him to fly. Secondly, the dinosaur constantly spews a jet of flame from his mouth.

|name=Super Dragon
When Yoshi assumes his new form, his [[Special Moves|move set]] and fighting strategy change with him. While Yoshi is not invincible, his opponents constantly evade him due to his constant stream of fire. If Yoshi chooses to, he can stop spewing fire and let out a large [[Fireball]] at his opponents that travels in a horizontal direction. This is performed as if he were attacking normally. When he does this, his aura becomes red temporarily, possibly giving his foes forewarning. Because of his ability to fly Yoshi can focus solely on his attacks rather than stalking or evading his foes. The smaller the stage, the greater the advantage. Yoshi is also at a greater advantage if he can move underneath the central platforms of a given stage.

When the attack does end, Yoshi loses his new abilities, including his wings.  Innocently looking at where his wings once were, Yoshi begins to fall downward. If he was to the sides of the stage when he lost his wings, he will fall out of the arena. Because of this, Yoshi is at an advantage if, towards the end of his attack, he avoids the edges of the stage.

Yoshi's enemies will likely swarm him as he returns unless their damage meters are high. In doing so before he regains his footing, they can attempt to balance out the damage caused to them by the dinosaur.

Super Dragon made its first and only appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Unveiled on Thursday, August 23rd, [[2007]] as one of the [http://www.smashbros.com Smash Bros. DOJO!!] weekly updates leading up to ''Brawl's'' release, the move made it's first playable appearance at 2007 Nintendo Press Summit on October, 11th of the same year.

Yoshi's Super Dragon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Super Dragon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Super Dragon is Yoshi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. It is based on Yoshi's shell-based abilities in Super Mario World. Upon activating the Final Smash, Yoshi will turn into a Winged Yoshi, allowing him to freely fly around the stage. Yoshi can ram into opponents to damage them, as well as exhale fire either as a continuous stream (which occurs when the attack button is not pressed), or in the form of a large Fireball (which occurs every time the attack button is pressed). In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Fireball explodes on contact with an opponent, whereas it pierces opponents in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. In this form, Yoshi cannot be KO'd by passing the blast lines, and he cannot be damaged. After some time has passed, Yoshi will return to normal.
