Yoshi Bomb

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Yoshi Bomb (aka "Hip Drop" or "Ground Pound") is Yoshi's Down B move. He smashes straight downward into the ground when used, and releases a star on either side, stunning enemies. If used on the ground, Yoshi will jump forward before dropping down. This move can be canceled by grabbing the ledge while dropping.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Yoshi Bomb has been weakened. However, it can hit enemies twice if used on the ground.

This move is functionally similar to Bowser's Bowser Bomb.

[edit] 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. It is unknown why the move is called "Yoshi Bomb" in the Smash Bros. series despite never being known as such in any other game.

The stars may be derived from the mini-earthquakes Yoshi produced in Super Mario World when holding a yellow shell; these quakes produced small damage waves to either side.
