Talk:Bowser Bomb (move)

Expand?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Considering how Fire Breath covers both the Smash Bros. move and general instances of Bowser doing similar things, should this page be expanded to include other times Bowser and other members of his species (like the Koopalings) perform a "heavy drop" move, be it one that breaks the ground, causes shockwaves, or simply used as a stomp attack? Since this seems to be based on Bowser's floor-slam in Super Mario Bros. 3. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:43, October 3, 2024 (EDT)

Three pages about the same topic (expanding Smash Bros. Bowser moves coverage) seems like it'll split the resulting conversation thin. But regardless: I disagree. The problem is Ground Pound. Bowser does use things named Ground Pound, with the same posing as this attack, and presumably they shouldn't go on this article because there is an article for Ground Pounds. So it's a wonky impasse, because there is no line between Ground Pound and Bowser Bomb aside from name. (I don't think the line is shockwaves because those are just a platforming game staple of stomp attacks. A staple influenced by Mario? Possibly, but hard to tell that trend from this special move.)

They're different enough it made sense to make one for each. But anyways, this page is notable in that regard because it already includes "Mini Mario & Friends" info. Anyways, most of what Bowser does isn't a "hip drop," so I think the SMB3 info should be removed from the Ground Pound page, anyway. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:42, October 3, 2024 (EDT)

Mini Mario & Friends actually uses the name "Bowser Bomb", which is probably why it's here already. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 06:53, October 4, 2024 (EDT)
