Specials

Fire Breath 5B. (Neutral Special) 5B. (Neutral Special)

Type Placement Version - - - Hits ID Total Startup Endlag Land lag IASA iFrames Armor 1 1 9 5 - - - - - Damage Angle Base KB KBG Shield Hitlag Active Priority Hitstun 2 80 2 0 - - 4 1 - Bowser expels a stream of fire from his mouth that decreases over time for as long as you hold the button. In this game, this pushes out the opponent more than it does officially, along with expiring quicker, which makes this a relatively niche option for range, unlike it's official counterpart. That being said, it's not completely disregarded for this purpose, and can be used to close the gap.

Koopa Klaw 6B. (Side Special) 6B. (Side Special)

Type Placement Version - - - Hits ID Total Startup Endlag Land lag IASA iFrames Armor 1 1 9 5 - - - - - Damage Angle Base KB KBG Shield Hitlag Active Priority Hitstun 2 80 2 0 - - 4 1 - Bowser throws his arm forward in an attempt to grab the opponent. If it succeeds, he holds you in place for a short moment. Opponents can mash out of it. Has a pummel (a quick bite attack), a forward throw and a back throw that can be used. If opponents are too far away, this turns into a simple claw slash that has potential to KO. This move is also relatively niche in Bowser's toolkit, as many would opt for his reliable strength and KO ability rather than a command grab that has seen better days.

Whirling Fortress 8B. (Up Special) 8B. (Up Special)	Type Placement Version - - - Hits ID Total Startup Endlag Land lag IASA iFrames Armor 1 1 9 5 - - - - - Damage Angle Base KB KBG Shield Hitlag Active Priority Hitstun 2 80 2 0 - - 4 1 - Withdraws into his shell and spirals rapidly. This hits multiple times both grounded in midair. More reliable on the ground than it is midair.

Bowser Bomb 2B. (Down Special) 2B. (Down Special)

Type Placement Version - - - Hits ID Total Startup Endlag Land lag IASA iFrames Armor 1 1 9 5 - - - - - Damage Angle Base KB KBG Shield Hitlag Active Priority Hitstun 2 80 2 0 - - 4 1 - A ground pound manoeuvre. Bowser leaps in the air horns first before slamming back down to the ground. This move has impressive KO power and skips the leap portion midair as you're already in the air before you fall. Perhaps the most useful of the four specials other than Whirling Fortress for recovery, and generally the most used special move of the four.

Final Smash

Final Smash: Giga Bowser 5B. (Full Meter) 5B. (Full Meter)

Type Placement Version - - - Hits ID Total Startup Endlag Land lag IASA iFrames Armor - - - - - - - - - Damage Angle Base KB KBG Shield Hitlag Active Priority Hitstun - - - - - - - - - Bowser transforms into Giga Bowser, increasing in size and his stats changing drastically. He's not very scary in this game due to having the same base sprite and attacks but even stronger than before, but while he lacks in style he makes up for in making pure chaos and stacking results perfectly in your favour.
