Peach Bomber



Peach Bomber is Princess Peach's Side B move. She lunges her hip towards her opponents and blasts them with a powerful explosion. In Melee, the explosion was with fire effects, but in Brawl, it was filled with hearts.

Using the Peach Bomber on most walls in the game will cause Peach to rise upward a tad. This can help with recovery on stages with vertical walls, such as Yoshi's Story and Fourside. The technique can also be used to stall a match, as Peach can continue to bomb the walls, keeping her alive and out of range from most other characters who would be KO'd if they were to try to go and attack her. Use of the technique in this fashion is banned in most tournaments.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it has been altered visually to have a heart-shaped explosion when the attack connects, rather than a normal explosion. This version of the attack covers more distance than in Melee. Also, it can no longer be used to bomb walls for vertical height gain. However, if a wall is destructible, such as those in Shadow Moses Island, Peach can still rise a tad upward. There is also more start-up lag.

Origin
The move is unique to the Smash Bros. series, but in Brawl, Peach Bomber releases a cloud of hearts, which is possibly a homage to Super Princess Peach.
