Basic Techniques
Standard Attacks
| Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
|---|---|---|
| A | Scratch | A simple scratch. Has a small wind up. |
| A A | Double Scratch | Two simple scratches. Sends the opponent flying a bit. |
| Forward + A | Strong Punch | Winds up a bit and punches. Pretty quick move. |
| Down + A | Double Ground Swipe | Kneels down swings at your feet twice. |
| Up + A | Overhead Slash | Swings his fist above his head 180 degrees. Very strong and fast move. |
| Smash Forward + A | Headbutt | Turns around then unleashes a brutal headbutt. Extremely strong but insanely slow. |
| Smash Down + A | Bowser Tornado | He spins around, hitting enemies with his spikes. Good for 7-10 hits. |
| Smash Up + A | Shell Smash | He ducks then jumps up into the air, destroying any enemies near or above him. COmputers almost always air-dodge near the beginning of the move. |
Aerial Attacks
| Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
|---|---|---|
| A | Shell Spin | He spins around in his shell. Semi-strong |
| Forward + A | Forward Swipe | He swings his fist in front of himself. Very quick move. |
| Backwards + A | SHell Poke...thingy | He hits you with his shell, sending you at a low trajectory. |
| Down + A | Shell Spin...again | Bowser turns up-side down and attacks enemies with his spikes. When he lands, he executes a stronger attack. |
| Up + A | Upward Swipe | He charges up and unleashes a brutal attack, swinging violently up into the air, lifting opponents high into the sky. |
Special Attacks
| Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
|---|---|---|
| B | Fire Blast | He breathes fire much like using a Fire Flower item, however if you use it too long, the range of the attack will degrade until Bowser is left just breathing smoke. |
| Up + B | Whirling Fortress | On the ground, he spins around, damaging enemies. In the air, the initial attack will lift the opponent into the air, but if connected just right, the enemy will get sucked in for around 12-15 hits. |
| Down + B | Bowser Bomb | He jumps forward into the air and slams down crushing enemies underneath. In the air he'll just drop down where he is. |
| Forward + B | Slash | He Swings forward attacking further enemies, but grabbing closer ones. To bite them press B. To throw them, press forward or backward. Forward throws will send them up a bit. Backwards throws will send the opponent flying quite a bit. |
Throws
| Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
|---|---|---|
| Down | Body Slam | He throws the opponent on the ground and just basically rams his stomach into you. |
| Forward | Upward Headbutt | He tosses you into the air with his head. Try to Up Smash afterwards. |
| Up | Shell Spin | This look just like his Down Smash, but it connects for a few less hits and it's weaker. |
| Back | Backwards Toss | Just tosses you away like you're a rag doll. |
Advanced Techniques
Flame Cancelling: In v.1.0, jumping, starting Bowser's flame breath, and then landing cancels the startup animation for the flame breath: Bowser will immediately starts breathing fire when he lands. This was fixed in later versions (Player's Choice, PAL/European), making v.1.0 more popular amongst Bowser players.
