The Mega Bomb is a variant of the Bomb down move used by Samus in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is unlockable at random. The Mega Bomb increases the size and damage of Samus's Bombs, at the cost of speed, as they have a much longer fuse. She can only lay one of these Bombs at a time, meaning they have less utility as a result. A Mega Bomb will also launch her up even higher if she stays close to it when it detonates.
It deals 4% from contact and 9% from the explosion. Used in conjunction with Samus's other moves, the Mega Bomb is effective at breaking shields.
The move was likely inspired by the Power Bombs of the Metroid series.

This bomb is much more damaging, but it takes longer to explode. Only one can be out at any given time. Because the explosion is higher, you can use it to bomb-jump higher as well.
