Slip Bomb

"What's the matter? All I said was that Komaytos look like little Metr-"

Non-canon warning: This article or section contains information that may not be considered an official part of the Metroid series in the overall storyline by Nintendo.

The Slip 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 Slip Bomb deals less damage than the regular Bomb move, but can trip enemies that have been grounded and meteor smash airborne opponents. This means it is a suitable move to set up a grab or guard an edge. A grounded explosion deals 2.5% damage, and 3.5% in the air.

Trivia[]

Metroid Samus Returns Arachnus Arachnus Slip Bomb Trip (Area 2) — Arachnus after being tripped by a Bomb in *Samus Returns*

In Metroid: Samus Returns, Bombs cause Arachnus and Ramulkens to slip and fall down if they explode while it is in its ball form. It is unclear whether this is a reference/homage to the Slip Bomb.
