Revision as of 03:45, 31 January 2015
Yoshi Bomb (aka "Hip Drop" or "Ground Pound") is Yoshi's Down Special Move in all Super Smash Bros. games. He smashes straight downward into the ground when used, and releases a star on either side, stunning enemies.
Overview
If used on the ground, Yoshi will jump forward before dropping down. This move is functionally similar to Bowser's Bowser Bomb, hence the name. This move can be canceled by grabbing the ledge while dropping.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Yoshi Bomb has been weakened in terms of knockback, but strengthened in terms of damage. Also, it can hit enemies twice if used on the ground.

Origin
The move has become a somewhat standard move in Mario games, originating in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island where Yoshi could use it to pound down stakes, crush crates, and slam through soft dirt. The stars are derived that after he performs the attack, he creates a small starry effect. It is unknown why the move is called "Yoshi Bomb" in the Super Smash Bros. series, despite never being known as such in any other game.
Custom Variations
Star Bomb
Star Bomb is one of Yoshi's Down Special Moves that can be used via customizations. Yoshi does a ground pound in which the stars are bigger and take a longer range. The move gives less damage.
Crushing Bomb
Crushing Bomb is one of Yoshi's Down Special Moves that can be used via customizations. Yoshi does a ground pound that gives more damage and knockback. However, no stars will fly out, meaning the move has less range.

Trivia
- With the exception of his Final Smash, this is Yoshi's only special move that does not begin with "Egg-".
- In the original SSB, the instruction manual incorrectly states that the move is called, "Bomb." However, in the Characters section of the Data menu, Yoshi's biography states that it's, "Hip Drop."
