Sacrificial KO

File:Placeholder

A sacrificial KO is when a character "brings down" another character in where both characters walk over one of the blast line. Some of the best sacrificial KOs are Donkey Kong's forward throw, Kirby's neutral special and up special, King Dedede's neutral special and up special, and Bowser's side special. Here are all of the known sacrificial KOs.

Sacrificial KOs per Character

This table includes all known Sacrificial KOs for every character, as well as some important properties of each.

Character	Sacrificial KOs	Notes
Bowser	Flying Slam (SSBB)	Grabs the opponent, jumps up, and slams the opponent into the ground. Can be used to throw Bowser and the character off the stage. The opponent can control where Bowser lands. Effective in Sudden Death, as the opponent dies first.
	Bowser Bomb	The opponent is launched upward. If done above a pit, Bowser falls into the pit and dies.
Captain Falcon	Raptor Boost	Captain Falcon does not drag the opponent down with him, but meteor smashes the opponent downward, and then usually selfdestructs afterward.
Diddy Kong	Monkey Flip	When done in midair, Diddy Kong latches onto the opponent. The opponent is unable to move, so Diddy can latch on while both characters fall off the edge of the screen. Press an attack button to jump off and meteor smash the opponent.
Donkey Kong	Forward Throw	Carries the opponent over his head. Can be used to fall off the stage or throw the opponent off the screen. Press an attack button to throw in front of DK.
Dr. Mario	None.
Falco	Falco Phantasm	Falco can do this above a pit to meteor smash an opponent, and Falco dies himself.
